The Worst is Over
A 39 clues story
Willow stood at the party with her friend Abigail. At 17, she wasn't quite the legal drinking age, but when she started drinking she was way below the legal age. 5. She'd never been a heavy drinker , and had never really been drunk. But tonight was different. Tonight she needed to drink away the pain, drink away the memories. Drink away him. He who had broke her heart into a thousand pieces. Abigail had never trusted him , but Willow was , well, a pushover. She had a weak spot for guys who had muscles and brains. A 6 -pack was all well and good, but he had to be smart. Willow realized after awhile, that no matter how good the newfie screech was, it wouldn't drown out the pain. She needed to set her sights on another form of release. Abigail suggested looking for another man. Willow thought that sounded ok. She peered through the crowd and spotted a bunch of jocks. None of whom had brains. Abigail herself was poking around , assisting her friends search for a new love. Her eyes settled on Hamilton Holt. Willow had played baseball with him a few years ago, but he'd only recently come out as a computer genius. Willow herself didn't notice how she stared at him, but Abbi sure had. The blonde girl smiled at the vision of her black haired best friend with Hamilton. Her mind lost itself and raced far ahead into a marriage and babies. Abbi shook her head and approached the muscle toned boy. They had a few classes together, so he knew her. Not well, but they'd had a few conversations, mostly about tech stuff, considering they were tech partners.
"Hamilton. Hey. Listen I've got this friend I want you to meet. She's not here now, but she's free tomorrow after school, if it works?" she pressed.
"Like a blind date? Ok."He replied.
Abbi nodded.
-After finding Willow-
"Willow, my girl. Be prepared. You have a date tomorrow after school." Abbi said. Willow smiled. She suddenly got butterflies in her stomach. Her ex was far from her mind. She could only imagine who Abbi had set her up with. Willow smiled to herself.
