"What if you two match?... What will you do then?" Tina asks me.

"I... I don't know... I am just scared that... You know..."

Betty looks at me before spilling out her opinion.

"That happened like what... 5 years ago? Maybe he has changed?"

"No... No, no, no... Boys like that never change, trust me!" Tina exclaims.

I look at both Tina and Betty who are looking at me. I can sense that they are thinking of something, planning something out.

"You know what..." Tina begins.

She continues when she notices that both Betty's and my attention are on her.

"Let's just forget about this for a bit and look for someone else, I mean, what is the point of waiting because he might not even like you back..."

"You mean match?" Betty corrects her.

"Same shit..." Tina replies

I nod with a slight smile before looking down at my phone.

"Ooo... Belle, I think I found someone..."

Myself and Tina look up at Betty and her phone.

"I know that you are not into nerdy kinda shit, but this guy looks low-key cute, at least he looks low-key cute to me," Betty says, I notice that she sounds proud of her catch.

She was not fucking wrong, I mean, calling him cute would be an understatement, because he was HOT! I was surprised that I even found him attractive but I don't care, as long as I have a guy who I like and who like me, I will not complain.

"Swipe right..." I tell her, with a smile on my face.

"Damn girl, I thought you were not into hot 'n' nerdy type of shit!" Tina says, smiling at me.

"Honestly, me neither Tina... Me neither..."

"Shall we look for more?" Betty asks.

"I think we have enough, what do you say, Belle?"

"I don't know... Let's keep it at that... I don't want some time in future a pile of men standing at my door with a bouquet of flowers... Although that would be very heaven like, I would have A LOT of explaining to do to the poor guys..."

"Good point..." both Betty and Tina reply.

"Although that example seems highly unlikely, I see where you are coming from..." Tina adds.

Just then, Betty gets a notification, and as soon as she gets it, both I and Tina get one too.

"You and Archie matched!!" Betty says, jumping up and down from happiness.

"Who the fuck is Archie?..." I ask.

"It is that hot nerdy guy" Betty replies.

"Ohhhh..." both I and Tina come to that realisation at the same time.

Another notification pops up on our phones.

"It's him... He just texted you..." Tina says.

"Okay... I got it..."

I open the message that Archie sent me.

Archie:
Hey Annabelle, how's it going?

"A cultured fuck... Don't see those around that often..." I say under my breath as I can hear both Betty and Tina giggling.

"It's true!" I add, smiling, causing them to crack up.

A minute passes before they both calm down.

"Okay, okay... Send him a reply" Tina says, trying not to crack up again.

Annabelle:
I am doing fine, thank you very much for asking, how are you?

"Oh look! Annabelle has a genuinely good side!" Betty jokes around.

"I don't think that is what Jack would say..." I fire back with a naughty smirk on my face.

I feel so satisfied when I see her smile fade away into a disgusted look.

A new notification.

I look down at my phone.

Archie:
I am doing good, thank you for asking Annabelle.

Annabelle:
Please, call me Belle, it is shorter and more simple ;)

I am gonna be honest, I was slightly worried about what his reply would be.

Archie:
No worries, Belle, but I thought you would like it longer ;)

"Holy fuck..." I mutter before turning my phone to Tina and Betty.

"What?..." Betty asks, clearly confused.

"Just read it, "I tell her.

"That little fuck..." Tina mutters under her breath.

"I am not gonna lie, but that did sound kinda smooth... It also made my heart flutter..." I say and I am not gonna lie, I did feel concerned because I felt like I was falling for him...

"You can't be... Are you!?" Betty exclaims.

"Hold up, it is too early to assume anything..." Tina says, "just keep the conversation going," she adds.

Annabelle:
Smooth for a nerd, eh? ;)

"I hope I didn't screw up..." say before showing the text to both Betty and Tina.

"Belle, you do realise that you called him a nerd... Right?" Tina asks me, becoming frighteningly serious.

"Yes?...." I reply.

"Good luck..." Betty says.

A new message.

Archie:
Me? Me nerdy? Ahaha, I like you already xD

"He took it as a joke..." I said, relieved.

Annabelle:
You like me? Ahaha, Boy, you don't even know how bad I can get. ;)

"Okay, now that just sounds slutty" Tina remarks my message after reading it.

"Let's just see how this will turn out..." I tell her, trying to ignore the fact that she is correct, I don't want Archie to get the wrong idea about me and make him think that I am desperate for someone to fuck... Even though that was literally me a few months ago.

I receive a message from Archie.

I feel eager to read it, but I also feel the sensation of worry in my chest.

But I open it anyway.

I feel my jaw drop as I finish reading the message, I reread the message.

Archie:
Is that so? Then I want to get to know you more, how about dinner, with me, so that I can see your 'bad side' ;).

"HOLY FUCK OF ALL TUE FUCKS!?" I say out loud as I can see Betty and Tina look at me, impatient to find out what I have to say.

"Archie asked me out... HE FUCKING ASKED ME OUT!?!?" I say as we all cheer and come in for a group hug.

"Holy crap! That was quick!" Tina says, relieved.

We suddenly get interrupted by another message, from Archie.

Archie:
How does tomorrow night sound, 8 o'clock?

"Just agree... Yes, say that it suits you..." Betty says.

"But what if I have plans?..." I ask, concerned.

"We will take care of that" Tina reassures me.

A wide smile broke on my face as I pull them both in for a hug.

"Thank you so much! This means so fucking much to me!!"

"We know girl, now don't leave the poor man hanging," Tina says, smiling at me.

Annabelle:
Sounds great, I can't wait! :)

Not even a minute passed before I get a reply.

Archie:
Great, I can't wait to see you ;).

I look away from my phone, satisfied.

"I don't know about you, but I think that this deserves a sleepover, " Tina says looking at me.

I first shrug before replying with words.

"Sure, " I say, as I begin to chuckle, causing both Tina and Betty to chuckle, before going in for another group hug.

"I love you two to fucking bits!!" I say as I embrace them too tightly.

"We love you too Belle, we love you too!"
