Page 75 of Bad Boys Don’t Date Clumsy Girls

Bek chimes in. “Where would you like to go? You could tell him you have Tuesday after school free and ask if he’d like to go…” she holds her hands out, “miniature golfing?”

I smile. I’ve got the perfect place. “Okay, that works.”

Me: Hey! Looks like I have Tuesday free. Up for an adventure?

I take a deep breath, bite my lip, close one eye, and hit send.

Dylan: What kind of adventure?

Me: It’s a surprise. We’d have to catch the bus right after school though.

Dylan: I drive, you know.

Me: A motorcycle!

Dylan: You won’t ride a motorcycle?

Me: Maybe someday, but if we are going on our first date, I’ll already be nervous enough.

Dylan: Fair enough. Let me see if I can borrow Lydia’s car on Tuesday. Otherwise, we can hop on the bus. I missed you at the shelter today.

Me: I know! I miss those sweet animals so much! Oh, and you, of course.

Dylan: Thanks for including me on it. Winking emoji.

Me: So, Tuesday it is?

Dylan: Tuesday it is!

I look up at Sam and Bek and grin. “I’m going on my first date on Tuesday!”

We all squeal.
