I almost fell off my chair in utter shock as his words bounced around in my head like a rabbit that drank 7 coffees. My brain was starting to hurt from it.

Want to go on a date?

Who just asks that out of the blue?! He could have given me some type of warning so I could at least prepare a appropriate answer!

I shook away my doubts knowing I had to say something or else his feelings would be hurt and that wasn't okay. He already dealt with that enough online.

"Y-yes...I'd like to go out with you Ryder. I mean your amazing and sweet...I don't know why you asked me out of everyone you could have, but I'm thankful." I mentally kicked myself for the stuttering and poor choice of words but at least I had replied.

Now it was his turn to stew things over and make me wait impatiently. Maybe he had changed his mind? I wouldn't blame him if he did but I'd be hurt none the less.

A spark of hope flickered brightly when he looked at me with a smile. His face was a little blushed and it just added to his cute demeanor.

"I choose you cause your really cool...you make me happy and your beautiful. We could go to the mall and film some tik toks...I would like to take you to the ice cream place they have there. No one ever goes but it's amazing...that okay?"

I wanted to scream in pure happiness and jump around like a wild woman but I kept myself together. I decided not to argue about the beautiful thing since I really wanted this to work. "That sounds perfect."

My face must have been red cause he poked my cheek and asked if I was feeling okay. I didn't have the heart to tell him just how much I liked him. Not yet.

It took three days to actually get to our date and I was having anxiety issues. It wasn't helping that my father kept probing me for clues as to what exactly this boy and I were doing alone together.

It's not like I could tell him that I was going on a date. He'd already made it clear I wasn't allowed to date till I was 18 but I never really listened...he probably wouldn't care anyway. He never did.

It took me thirty minutes just to choose a outfit and I still wasn't happy with it but it's not like I had many more options that were better.

"Hey Ma does this look okay?" I asked holding out my arms so she could fully see my outfit. My top said Crybaby in white with the rest of the shirt a dark grey completed by my leather jacket and black skinny jeans with rips up the sides. My Jughead hat firmly on my head and my black vans looking spiffy as always.

My mom looked me up and down before clicking her mouth. "You look like creepy...I love it! Make sure to kiss your siblings goodbye okay."

I nodded and gave her a side hug before walking out to the two monsters who I loved dearly. My little sister who is 3 almost four was who I went to first.

"Hey Daisy be good for mom okay. Love you." I kissed her head knowing she probably didn't care about what I had said and maybe didn't even understand it but at least it was done.

I picked up my little brother next him being smaller then Daisy and only 2 years old. He held onto me tight and for a second I felt guilty about leaving.

"Love you Devon." I kissed his face all over and set him down on the couch. They watched me and I knew they'd probably end up crying as soon as I left.

I hurried out the door making sure it closed behind me and left trying not to think about my home life. It was me time now.

I walked to the mall with my music playing and my heart rate slowly increasing as I got closer. A date...I'm on a date.

"(Y/n)! Over here heh...you look awesome." My eyes snapped up and met with Ryders who wasn't far from me. He was on his phone answering comments most likely.

"Thanks I can't agree. You look good. Love the hoodie." I said walking closer to him. He was wearing a large black hoodie with black jeans and his hair was more puffed up then the last time I saw him. He looked so handsome.

He blushed a little and I couldn't help but feel slightly proud at being the cause. He put his hands in his pockets and gestured to the door nervously. "After you my lady."
