Grace and Corey had been crushing on each other from afar for a while. Their friends knew all about it but since Corey was two years older than Grace they never really got to talk to each other. Plus Grace was too shy to go up to him and say something when they were hanging out with their friends. She never would have thought that Corey could feel the same way about her that she felt about him. She talked to her friends about it a lot and they were getting a little annoyed with her. “Why don’t you just ask him out Grace? I’m sure he’ll say yes.” “No! I can’t do that, no way. I can’t let him know I’m crushing on him that’d be so embarrassing!” Another one of Grace’s friends said. “If you don’t talk to him soon we’re just going to have to help you.”

A few days had passed and Grace still couldn’t find courage enough to talk to Corey. Her friends had set her up on a blind date that they insisted she’d go to even though she’d said she didn’t want to go multiple times. “I don’t understand why this is so important to you? I’m the one going on the date, not you. You guys know how much I like Corey anyway, it’s not like one date with some stranger is going to change that.” “Grace, just give him a chance. Who knows maybe he’ll be the man of your dreams, maybe it’ll be love at first sight.” Grace rolled her eyes and let out a little sigh. “Yeah. I’m sure that’ll happen. Who is this guy anyway, have you met him? I don’t want to go on a date expecting someone my age and ending up with someone 20 years older than me.” Grace’s friends tried to hide a laugh. “Relax Grace of course we’ve met him. He’s a really nice guy and he’s only a few years older than you. It’ll go great, I’m sure you’ll love each other.” Grace was suspicious but she thought that just one date wouldn’t hurt. She could at least go to satisfy her friends. Make then shut up about it.

When the day of the date came closer Grace got a little nervous. What if she made a fool out of herself or said something that would scare the guy off. Not that it was set in stone that they we’re going to get married and have kids, but she still didn’t want to look like a fool. It felt a little odd going on a date when all she could think of was Corey. Even though they had barely talked it felt like she was cheating on him somehow. She tried to push those feelings away, reminding herself that he probably didn’t think of her more than someone in their joined group of friends.

When the day of the date came Grace’s friends told her that the date was taking place at her date’s house. They told her to dress casually since they were probably going to watch a movie. Since Grace didn’t know where this guy lived her friends had to drive her there. When they stopped the car she realized they were outside Corey’s house. She’d been there a few times before when they had hung out everyone together. She looked at her friends who were looking back at her smiling. “You can’t be serious?” Grace didn’t know what she was feeling. Of course she was happy that her blind date was Corey but at the same time she was terrified. Sure she’d been a little bit nervous before but now that she knew it was Corey everything changed. “We’re dead serious. You both have been talking about how you think you’re cute and how you’re crushing on each other so we asked Corey if he’d want to go on a date with you and-“ Grace interrupted them. “Wait wait wait. You asked Corey out on a date for me?” “Well yeah.” Grace was so nervous she thought she was going to pass out. “Grace you need to go inside he’s waiting for you; you’re five minutes late now! Go go go!” Grace hurried out of the car and walked up to the house and knocked on the door. It was, of course, Corey who opened the door. He said hi and opened the door a little more. He motioned with his hand for her to come in. “Come in! And welcome to my place. You’ve been here before but, not like this.” He chuckled a little, which made Grace smile. “Hi, no not like this.” Corey waved to Grace’s and his friends in the car before he closed the door. Whilst Grace was taking her jacket off they did the whole ‘How are you’ conversation. The basic things to say to someone you just met. When they got to the living room they had to decide what movie to watch. Corey wanted to watch a thriller but Grace wanted to watch a comedy or something that just wasn’t a thriller. “I don’t know, I’m not that good with scary movies. The last scary movie I watched was Paranormal Activity and I didn’t sleep for a month after that.” Corey laughed. Grace was sitting on the sofa and Corey was on the floor because he had to turn on the DVD. He stood up and walked over to the sofa. He sat down next to Grace and put his arm on the back of the sofa. “Fine, we’ll watch a comedy. But this is the only one I have right now. A buddy of mine came by and borrowed some movies yesterday.” “Which one is it?” Corey smiled. “Vampires suck.”

Amanda and Kevin 

You went to sleep pretty late last night so you happened to sleep through most of the day. When you woke up around 3pm you checked your phone. You had 5 new messages, all from kevin, your crush. You two had recently started talking but you’d always had a thing for him. He was handsome and his smile was the prettiest thing you’d ever seen. He didn’t just smile with his mouth, when he really smiled he smiled with his whole face. It was the kind of smile that could sweep anyone off their feet, and that anyone happened to be you. Every time you two talked it just felt right. One of the reasons you stayed up so late last night was because you two got into a little fight. It wasn’t reay big but it got to you in a way and you had some trouble falling asleep. You felt a little bit scared about what he was gonna say in those messages. You finally opened and read them:

“Hey”

The first one read, at 7:15am. The second one,

“I’m sorry about yesterday I shouldn’t have said what I said I’m really sorry Amanda”

At 8:28am.

“Please wake up babe :(“

10:44am.

“:( be nice to talk to you babe”

11:13am.

“Please wake up now Amanda, I miss you”
