A/N: I had this weird dream about what I'm about to write. It is beyond weird but it is hot as hell. Long story, short... Sydney has a "friend" and she can't get enough of Egan. But there's more plot and twists and turns inside, I promise. Enjoy. Or not.

Karaoke. Why did we have to this here? I hate being sent on an assignment outside of school and being paired with Egan which seems to be the theme stupid Mr. Collins is going for. I hate that guy.

We just finish singing a pop song Egan suggested we sing. Egan and I took a bow and went off the stage. Two guys head our way and I guess I was wrong to think I was already having the worst day because I know it's just about to get so much worse.

"OWWW, ladies that was hot!" Dark-haired creep said coming up to me and wrapping his arm around me. I gagged at the rank smell that came out of his armpits and stepped on his instep with my heels. "Oh my God! My foot!"

I turned to face him as if I was shocked. "What's wrong?" I put on my 'Egan voice' and I could see the half Latina cringe when I did that.

"I think you broke it!" He said his breath ragged, he is trying not to cry.

"Maybe you and your friend over here should just go to the hospital and have it checked" Egan said pushing the blonde-haired pervert from her side to his friend. "Don't worry about us…" Egan said wrapping her arms around my waist and placing her head on my shoulder in a sort of amorous embrace. "We'll just be fine without you."

I blinked and kind of gave the top of her head a glare. I was uncomfortable, but not in a bad way. That made me angry. Once they walked out of the karaoke bar, Egan let go of me as if she were on fire. I grunted and headed back to my seat, It's 11:30 in the evening, Collins said we should stay here until the restaurant closes. That means 30 more minutes and this hell could end.

We sat in silence for a bit, nursing our newly poured drinks. "Thanks for getting rid of those guys." Egan said after a while.

"Best part of this date…" I mumble, and then I laughed a little. Then using the voice I use to imitated Egan, I said, "Don't worry about us, we'll just be fine without you. So funny."

"I don't talk like that…" she started in protest, then dissolved into a fit of giggles. "Oh my God, I can't believe they didn't take the hint."

"Well if you hanging all over me didn't convince them then I'm sure they're retards." I say with a chuckle of my own.

I sat there listening there listening to the next person trying to sing some Ariana Grande song and ruining a perfectly good song. When I feel Egan staring at me, I decide not to acknowledge the staring. I don't know that I want to know why she's doing it. "Sydney… how are you doing?" She asked softly.

I frown and look at her. Concern was oozing out of her bluish-greenish eyes. I didn't understand why she would be concerned. I'm fine, I think. "What do you mean?"

"Well… things are still a bit strained with things at your house, you never see to want to talk about it."

I look at my watch… Crap it's only been 10 minutes. I stand up abruptly. "I have to go to the bathroom." I storm off to the bathroom knocking the stupid bell pepper out of some kids hand when I pass him by.

I should have known she would follow me. This was not a normal date. I could not get away by just hiding in a gender specific place. What am I saying, this is play date. This is an assignment, I refuse to justify anything. "Come on Sydney… I just want to make sure you're okay… I mean, I want to be someone that can help you through this."

"But I don't like you!" I stated angrily.

"But I like you… and I want to be your friend. I don't know why but I do." Egan said leaning against the sink. "Besides, maybe we would be able to play a married couple for Mr. Collins' play if we were friends. Maybe we'd have irrational playdates like this."

"How can you help me get over my brother going away?" I asked kind of agreeing about having to play a better husband and wife. I was tired of bickering with her in school too.

"I don't know… you can talk about how you feel." She started, "I know sometimes, when I'm feeling super down, I just call Violet and I cry and we eat ice cream and complain and watch movies when all that's over. I feel a whole lot lighter."

"What if I don't want to get over it?" I said suddenly closed my eyes at my admission.

"You can talk about that too… for someone that never worries about saying the things that are on her mind, that shouldn't be too hard."

I stared at her shoes for a moment then I looked at myself in a mirror. "we have a week left till our play… let's try it your way."

"Good." She said with a smile, then she looked at her watch. "Our date is over!" She gave me a quick hug, and nearly tripped over herself running out of the bathroom. I blinked was she just trying to buy us some time till we could leave?

"Stupid Egan." I mumbled as I walked out of the bathroom past the crowd of annoying teenagers and out of the restaurant.

I walked out and saw Egan on the phone with Martina I guess because she was yelling into the phone. I didn't know anyone could get under that girl's skin like her older sister. It was something about the fact that she had to come and get her. "I didn't see the old lady!"

I smirked knowing that she was so sorry she didn't pay attention while she was doing the driving test. "I'll take you home… you are my date after all." I said walking past her.

"Thank you so much Sydney! I really appreciate this." She said as she followed me and let out a growl of frustration.

"Whatever." I stated unlocking the door and going around to the driver side. "I should make you open the car door for me." I said getting in the car.

"What?" she asked getting in the car before I just peeled off and left her on the sidewalk. Trust me I was tempted.

"This is a date remember? I am a lady." I said starting the engine.

She smiled, "Oh is that so?" she asked, "Well then, I'll keep that in mind."

I pulled out on to the road and I drove Egan home, The conversation in the car had been decidedly more pleasant than the one at the restaurant. I found myself being less annoyed by her, and enjoying myself on this 'date'. I pulled up to her driveway, and sighed. "Here we are." I said.

"Yeah, thanks for the ride. Do you need anything? Are you going to be okay going home?"

"Geez, Egan I had green tea, not Long Island Iced Teas. I'll be fine." I said and extended my hand to her. She took it and kissed my hand. "What?"

"It's a date, remember?" Egan said with a smirk. "Good night." She walked out of the car and up the steps to her house. My hand tingles where she kissed it. It was a weird sensation. I am going to have to be nicer to Egan now; at least for the sake of the play and my grades. After that, I can be myself. Yeah.

When I got home, I logged on to Twitter and put up my status before heading to bed. I liked doing it at night, because I could put the one concluding though to the night on it,,, Which usually contained my main frustration of the day.

Status Update
