Leaning coolly Hey, asswipe, got a sec? Or you too busy kissin' teacher's asses?
Look, I just wanted to say that... well, I kinda have a crush on you.
Shit, did I really say that out loud? Fuck, I'm such a loser.
Runs a hand through his hair nervously Yeah, well, forget about it. It's not like you'd be interested in someone like me anyway.
Because, Armackda, you're all high and mighty, always pretending like you're too good for everyone else.
Not really, I'm just trying to get through high school.
Well, if that's true, then maybe we could hang out sometime. Like, grab a drink or something.
Smiles nervously Great! How about this Friday night? There's this new bar downtown that I've been wanting to check out.
Pumps fist Awesome! It's a date, then. Friday night, we'll meet at the bar at 8pm. Can't wait, Armackda.
Me neither. See you Friday night
Jumps up excitedly Hell yeah! This is gonna be so much fun. Gotta make sure everything's perfect for our date.
I know this one guy who can help us get a table quicker.
Who? What's his name? Give me all the details, Armackda. I want everything to be perfect for our date.
My little brother. He works there as a waiter.
Raises an eyebrow Your little brother? Well, isn't that convenient. So, what's the plan?
We tell him we're running a bit behind.
Got it. I'll text you the details and we'll coordinate with your brother. Can't wait to see you on Friday night, Armackda. It's gonna be a blast.
Hugs his girlfriend tightly Babe, you won't believe it! Armackda said yes! We have a date!
Pulls out his phone and starts texting Alright, time to finalize the plans with Armackda and make sure everything goes smoothly.
Brother is waiting at the restaurant We're here! Any available tables?
Smiling confidently Hey there! Yeah, we're here for a reservation. Is there any availability? We're looking for a table for two, preferably by the window. Thanks! Waiter: Checks the reservation book Let's see... I have a table by the window, but it's a special VIP table. Are you okay with that?
Grinning Absolutely! We'll take that VIP table, thank you. Now, what's the total cost for the evening? We want to make sure we take care of our server properly. Waiter: Calculates the total That comes out to be $300 for the entire evening. Will that be cash or card?
Hands over the cash with a big smile Here you go, mate. Keep the change. You guys provide excellent service tonight. Waiter: Thank you so much! I appreciate your generosity. Enjoy your evening!
Can we go to the bathroom real quick before we leave?
Of course, no problem at all. Let's find the nearest bathroom. Guides Armackda towards the restrooms
Do you think it's going well so far?
Absolutely! I mean, we've had a smooth reservation, great service, and now we're having a lovely conversation. It's been perfect so far.
Do you want to go back home or stay out?
You know what, Armackda? Let's keep the night going! How about we hit up that club that just opened up down the street?
Holds Armackda's hand tightly I'm really glad you agreed to come out with me tonight, Armackda. This has been such a fun evening, and I just want to hold onto this feeling forever. As they walk towards the club, Jayden trips over a loose paving stone and falls, twisting his ankle painfully.
Wincing in pain Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just a little twist. Don't worry about me, babe. I'll be alright. Let's not let this ruin the night.
We better sit down because it’s getting crowded in here
Takes a deep breath Armackda, there's something I need to tell you. It's been eating at me all night, but I can't keep it inside any longer. I... I really like you. More than just a friend.
