Maybe I should ask her out? Nah, I'll do it next time. Damn, I'm such a pussy. I hope Athena's doin' ok... eh, who am I kidding she's probably fucking her girl right now. Anyways, time for this date.

"Hey, Avery," I say
"Julia! How are you?" Avery said hugging me

Fuck

"I-I'm doing good. How about you?" I ask
"Oh, I'm doing great now your here," Avery said
"That's nice to know haha. Well, let's go." I say
"Okay," Avery said following me

We take the bus to the amusement park close to town. And I paid for our tickets and started to play some games. And of course, Avery wasn't good at them so I had to win most if not all of the games.

"Ok, which one do you want?" I ask
"The bear," Avery said
"Ok," I say aiming the toy gun at the bear

This shit better fucking work swear this shits probably rigged.

"OH NICE SHOT KID!" The person said behind the booth
"Damn that actually worked," I say
"Good job kid here you go." The man said giving me the bear
"Thanks," I say taking it
"Here," I say giving it to Avery
"Yay! Thank you!" Avery said hugging me

Oh god I'm going to have a nose bleed I swear

"You hungry?" I ask
"No, I just want a drink. Are you hungry?" Avery asked
"Nah I'm chillin' but yeah let's go get a drink," I say

As we get our drinks I thought about asking Avery out again.

Ughh I should just ask Athena she's the one who gets most of the girls.

"Hey, I have to make a phone call. Just wait for the drinks ok?" I say
"Ok," Avery said as I walked to an unpopulated area of the amusement park to call Athena

"Hello?" Athena asked
"Hey, sorry to bother you but like. Should I ask Avery out?" I ask
"I mean go for it bruh." Athena Said
"Well, I would but you know I'm too pussy to do that!" I say
"Ok, well. Do you think she likes you?" Athena asked
"I honestly don't know, yes she's gay like us but I don't know. She hugs me a lot but doesn't she do that to you?" I ask
"No, not really. And to be honest with you just shoot your shot." Athena Said
"I want to but I'm like scared," I say
"And I know you are, I know that feeling all too well, but just do it ok?" Athena Said
"Ugh! Ok, our fucking weird!" Julia Said
"Bitch you befriended this weirdo plus you can shut the fuck up with me being the weird one." Athena Said
"Shut up that's only when I'm high!" I say
"Exactly." Athena Said
"Well, our weird too. Like your scary nice." I say
"Yeah? Got a problem with it?" Athena asked
"No, but still what the fuck." I say
"Yeah yeah now do to your girlfriend and ask her out." Athena Said
"She isn't my girl yet! Plus how are you and the ice queen doing?" I ask
"We're doing good." Athena Said
"That's good, anyway, I'll ask her out today," I say
"Ok." Athena Said
"See ya," I say
"Yuh," Athena Said ending the call

Oml Julia just ask Avery out...

*Flashback*

"Hey, Athena," Avery said
"Yea?" Athena asked
"Do you think Julia likes me?" Avery asked

Ah shit, she's gonna kill me if I say anything. Uh yeah, let's not say shit.

"Uh, I mean-why do you ask?" Athena asked
"Well, because I think I like her," Avery said

Shoot your shot then, same with you Julia!

"Ya think? Ha, tell me once your 100% then I'll give you my answer." Athena Said
"ATHENA! Tell me please!" Avery said
"Nope," Athena said
"Ugh, fine you win," Avery said

Always works

"Haha, just shoot your shot or something or just get to know her to better y'all have each other's numbers." Athena Said
"Yeah, your right. But how can I tell?" Avery asked
"I don't know. Just do it when you think the time is right and when you have enough evidence/information that she likes you. You can't act on anything without information." Athena Said
"Yeah, your right. Thanks." Avery said
"Yeah, no problem." Athena Said

*End of flashback*

Ugh, fuck you, Athena! Ahhhh I really don't know what to do! Ugh ok, ok just calm down and continue with the date. Then when the time is right just ask her out or something.

Walking back to Avery felt like hell for Julia as anxiety hit her hard and fast.

Ughhh I can't!

"Athena!" Julia Said calling Athena
"What?" Athena asked answering the call
"Help, I think I'm having an anxiety attack." Julia Said
"Listen to my voice. You are okay, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Take deep breaths, try boxers breath first if deep breaths aren't helping. Then once your breathing is steady ground your self. Remember five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste." Athena Said
"Okay, I will," I say doing the boxers breath
"You want me to stay with you?" Athena asked
"Yes, please," I say
"Ok." Athena Said

As we were on the call I started to do boxers breath which is four seconds in and four seconds out. My breathing became more steady and started to do deep breaths as Athena started to play her guitar because she knew that it always helped me with my anxiety. Once I felt alright I started to ground myself.

"Lights, people, balloons, rides, and teddy bears. My phone, shirt, arm, and pants. People, music, and rides. Pizza and popcorn. Nothing. Ok, I'm good now." I say
"Are you 100%? Sure because I don't want you building yourself up just to fall down again." Athena Said while she stopped playing the guitar
"Yeah," I say
"Ok good luck." Athena Said
"Thanks," I say
"Mhm," Athena Said ending the call

Ok let's go you got this dumbass

"Hey, your back!" Avery said
"Yup," I say
"Here's your drink," Avery said
"Thanks. Are you tired?" I ask as I took my drink
"Not really," Avery said
"Do you want to ride any rides?" I ask
"Yeah, one..." Avery said
"Which one?" I ask
"The Ferris wheel," Avery said
"Ight let's go," I say

Ughhh I really want to ask her out but maybe next time... so much confidence in one person to all go to shit once the time is right. Ugh, fuck it I may never get another chance like this!
