Awful date?

Morning appeared and I awoke dehydrated as usual. I reach towards the laptop and grab my huge bottle of Diet Coke, it's a flat unusual taste in my tongue, I take one more sip and get out of bed. Shit, I agreed to meet Tyler.

I didn't know whether or not to make a good impression? I already had done in college do I need to be any different outside? I put on a brown fitted top which hug nicely to my waist complimenting my natural curves, I put on my light denim high waisted shorts, with the American flag patch in the pockets and deep blue stitching piecing them together. I put leggings on underneath, thick and black. I'm not a skank and will wear short shorts in the snow to impress a guy while I'm freezing my tits off pretending I'm warm and revealing more of myself. Them girls are ridiculous. Besides I'd rather be wrapped up warm and STILL get the blokes jacket I am with.

My hair was fluffy and just needed brushing I never much with it. It's blonde and volume. It's also very frzzy from where I sit by the fire and read endless books. It's sizzled from the roots right to the ends. It's damaged, but I don't mind. It isn't a huge crisis.

Brown leather jacket, leather grey converse. I'm not into fashion as you can tell. I'm into more comfort things and whatever suits my mood too.

I step off the bus and outside college, it's where we decided to meet since we both know where it is. I see two boys mucking around on the terrain. "Megan!" One calls over. Two? I think, that's great it isn't going to be some awkward date which I then have to ruin and say I don't want anything to happen and say the 'friend' word.

A boy with medium caramel hair strolled over, Tyler he had jeans on, a blue hoody and lee copper converse. Travis was trailing behind wearing grey joggers and a green jacket.

"Right it's freezing, I'm going to get going." Travis says while facing towards Tyler. It had only been an hour and me, Travis and Tyler was inside the McDonald's in Salford. "You can't leave now?" Tyler exclaimed. "Surely you can stay?" I chipped in. "Right er no I'll leave you two love birds alone." And with that he was gone. Lovebirds? We are hardly Rose and Jack from Titanic then again I don't have perfect teeth like Rose does either and I guess Tyler has Jacks hair, wait no I shook myself from thought. "What you getting?" Tyler ignored Travis's comment and spoke sweetly. "Oh I'm just going to get some chips." I say. He gets up and orders for me. I find that very gentlemen like.

It isn't long before he's back and we're trying to make small talk work. "Sam's really mint, we get on okay." Tyler says with a mouthful of burger. "Oh I was talking to him last night, he's alright." I smile, the rest of the half an hour was silent and all you could hear was children screaming and shouting, crying and laughing. We decided to get out of there, the conversation didn't pick up there either, we went in and out of shops still making small talk and then Tyler stopped and turned as we came out of the Ellesmere Centre. "Let's go fishing" he practically jumped as he spoke. "Fishing?" I ask, I had no idea what he was talking about I didn't think young men liked fishing I thought it was the for elders. "Yeah, near mine there's a lake you can't get on it without a set of keys and I've been fishing since I was a little boy that my dad is allowing me to rent the place with a few other people." He grabbed my hand and we left to walk across the carpark.
