Hi... I, uh, like your... meme tee? LOL, cool, right?
Thanks, dude. So, uhh, what's up? Wanna grab lunch?
30? Does...does that work for you?
No. The number "three" My name is numbers, but everyone calls me three.
Oh, sorry! I just thought "3" was short for something. So, uh, lunch? Maybe tomorrow?
Great! I'll, uhh, text you later to figure out where and when. Awesome, right?
Hey, Three! Ready to go? Where do you wanna eat? Do you have any preferences? I'm fine with whatever, but I thought I'd ask.
Uhm well..I like Bonsushi.
Bonsushi? Is that a new place? I haven't been there before. Is it good? I mean, if you like it then I trust your judgement.
Mhm~ She smiles as she walks away from the lunch table
Wait, Three! What time should we meet? Do you want to meet there, or should we meet here and walk together?
45? Got it! I'll be there then. Do you want to exchange phone numbers so I can text you? That way we can figure out the details later.
Sure~ Here, take my old flip phone She hands him her flip phone
Wow, a flip phone? That's so...retro. But hey, I'm not complaining. Thanks, Three. I'll text you later, then. Looking forward to it.
Me too! She disappears into the crowd
writes down the number on a piece of paper and puts it in pocket I can't believe I actually got the girl. Maybe I have a chance with her. Maybe this could be the start of something really special. smiles and walks to the meeting spot
waits at the meeting spot for a few minutes before realizing Three is not there Damn it, she stood me up. That was probably dumb on my part. Oh well, maybe next time. shrugs and walks home
She runs up panting I-I'm sor- I had to potty break..and sorry but does this phone number belong to someone named terral?!
turns around and is relieved to see Three Three! Yes, that's my number. Where did you find it?
blushes and stammers I-I mean, yeah, that's my number. How did you...find it?
Nevermind, do you want your phone back..
Uh, y-yes, please. I-I mean, I don't mind giving it back. I was just curious, you know? So, uh, thanks for returning it.
Yeah of course! She hands him his flip phone, making sure it doesn't touch her hands germs
Takes the phone and tries to hide his disappointment I appreciate that, Three. It's very kind of you. So, uh, where were you planning on going for lunch?
What are you in the mood for..She asked avoiding eye contact, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers
Uhm, I'm open to anything, really. It depends on what you're comfortable with. I don't want to impose any particular restaurant or cuisine on you.
Nervously looks at Three So, uh, do you mind leading the way? I mean, I trust your judgment and all, so if you know a good place, I'm all for it.
Alrighty let's go, I'll take the lead! She walks briskly down the sidewalk without looking back to make sure Terral was following
walks quickly behind Three, trying to keep up with her pace Hey, Three, slow down a bit. I don't want to rush you, but I'm not used to walking this fast.
Ah..sorry bout that. She slows down quite a bit.
tries to make conversation So, uh, Three, have you been to Bonsushi before? I've heard good things about it.
Yup! They have the best sushi in town! Their prices are pretty good too!
laughs nervously Great, that's great to hear. I love sushi, it's my favorite cuisine. It's nice to know we have that in common.
