As another sunshine was awoken, Catelyn went to school disregarding the fact of what just happened yesterday. She rushed her way to her classroom and was silent. She sat on her seat as Abbie approached her from behind; breaking her silence.

"You won't believe what happened."

"What? Must be exciting."

"Not just exciting. A miracle. He told me to have a great day."

"Who?"

"Lucas, sweet heart."

"Oh..."

"I'm having one great day right now, at this very moment, Cates."

"Good for you!"

"Thanks! All thanks to you."

"I didn't do anything.. why are you saying thanks to me?"

"Whatever. I'm never gonna forget this day, he talked to me after ages!"

Moments later, the bell rang. The class went as fast as the clock's tick and tocks.

"Abbie, I'm gonna just go to the library real quick."

"Oh I'll come with you."

"Oh no need, I'll be fast."

"Oh okay, take care. I'll wait here."

Catelyn smiled and waved good bye to Abbie, heading to the school's library. As she was stepping closer to reach the entrance, a guy appeared right in front of her, which made her stop and stare for a second.

"Going anywhere?"

"Oh, hey Lucas. Yeah, I'm on my way to the library."

"I'll come with you."

"You don't have to."

"I'm also heading there, Miss C. I have a task to make."

"Oh okay then."

"It isn't that bad to walk around with your new friend, is it?"

"No, it's totally fine."

"Cool. May I know what are you up to or do you have any plans these upcoming days?"

"I don't have things to do on my list at the moment. Why?"

"Well, I'm just thinking of getting to know you better, Miss C."

"Really?"

"Yes. I'm planning to have date with you."

"A date!?"

Catelyn stopped walking and stared at Lucas in the most confused face.

"Relax, it's just a friendly date."

"Oh. Okay."

"So you down?"

"Sure. I'll go in a friendly date with you."

"I'll meet you tonight at 7."

"This night?"

"I'm kidding. I'll see you this Saturday. 7 pm. At the circle."

"Copy that. See you then."

"Alright, bye!"

"I thought you were headed to the library?"

"I lied. Just really wanted to ask you out; in a friendly way."

"Okay.."

Catelyn went inside the library and luckily got the book that she needs.

"What took you so long?" Abbie asked, still sitting at the sixth table in the school's cafeteria.

"I bumped into Lucas." Catelyn answered, putting the book she borrowed on the table.

"What happened?"

"He asked me on a friendly date."

"A friendly date..."

"Stop making that face, Abbie. He told me he wants to get to know me."

"...on a friendly date?"

"Oh, come on Abbie, I'll be doing what exactly was on our plan."

"Nice. You should."

"Stop, don't be jealous.."

"I am not. As long as you keep me updated. Did you say yes to the friendly date?"

"Well I thought it would be a great time for me to also ask him stuff that you want to know and maybe insert Abbies in our conversation so I said yes."

"That plan of yours better work out, Cates!"

"It sure will. Don't worry, I can handle this. All for you."

"Thanks, sunshine."
