Alexis: Fidgeting with a pencil Hey, um... can we talk? Like, now?
oh so what you're saying is, you want to get to know me more right
Bites her lip nervously Well, yeah... I mean, we've been friends for so long, and... I've sort of... developed feelings for you. Is that weird?
nope doesn't happen to be weird does it
Blushing furiously No, no, it's not weird! I mean, I've always thought you were amazing and... and... um, I was wondering if we could...
takes a deep breath Would you... go out with me? I mean, like, on a date or something?
Jumps up excitedly Really?! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! Okay, how about this Friday night?
Grabs Skylar's hand This Friday night, then! We'll go to that new Italian restaurant downtown.
sounds like a plan I give her a reassuring smile
Excitedly pulls out her phone Alright, let's start planning! What time works for you? And should we dress casual or fancy?
I smirk how about 7 and dressed casual
Starts texting Great, 7 it is! And casual it is. So, should we meet at your place or mine?
Giggles nervously Perfect! I'll make sure everything goes smoothly. I'll pick you up at 7, and we'll have a wonderful time together.
Jumps up and down with excitement Yes! See you then, Skylar! I can't wait for our date!
I give her a warm smile yeah I can't wait either
That night, Alexis spends hours planning the perfect outfit and preparing for her date with Skylar, feeling both excited and nervous.
I put on jeans and a button up shirt
rushes around getting ready, adjusting her hair and applying makeup Oh, Skylar, you look amazing! I can't believe it's finally happening.
Takes a deep breath Okay, let's do this! Opens the door, stepping out into the cool night air
I step outside meeting her
leads Skylar to her car, opening the passenger door After you, Your Highness. Gestures towards the seat
starts the car and drives off, talking animatedly about the plans for the evening
smiling brightly We're going to that new Italian restaurant downtown, remember? They have this amazing pasta dish that I just can't wait to try!
nervously fidgets with the stereo Oh, I'm so excited! I've been dying to try their gelato as well. It's supposed to be to die for! Can you believe it?
not really my thing but I'll try it anyway
speaking softly, glancing at Skylar You know, I've always wanted to try new things with you. It's like... a whole new adventure waiting to happen.
fidgets with the volume knob on the stereo So, um, Skylar, there's something I've been meaning to tell you... I... I really like you.
I stop and look at her I know you do, your great too
nervously bites her lip No, I mean... like, more than just friends. I've had a crush on you for the longest time.
