An: this is my first time uploading a story, so this is a more of a test than a serious story. Please review, though, I would love your comments.
Percy was jittery. He was getting ready to go to meet his mom's boyfriend, Paul. Paul was going to meet Percy and his mom at a fancy restaurant close to their apartment. Percy was nervous. He already gave his mom permission to date Paul, but this would be the first time the two men met.
"Percy! Are you ready?" Sally called down the hall.
"Yeah, I'm coming!" He shouted back.
He turned to the mirror in front of him. "Well, here goes nothing."

When they reached the restaurant, the hostess showed Percy and his mom the table Paul reserved. Paul wasn't there, so they decided to order their drinks while they waited. Soon after their drinks came, Paul showed up looking rushed.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I lost track of time getting the classroom ready for this coming school year. You must be Percy. It's nice to meet you."
"It's .. nice to meet you to Mr. Blowfis." Percy answered hesitantly.
They all settled down and ordered their food. It was super awkward. Sally struck up a conversation with Paul, and tried to bring Percy in as well, but he didn't seem to be able to answer in more than three word sentences. When their food came they ate in silence. Paul then started asking Percy questions about school, but that only seemed to make things more awkward. When they were ready to go home, Percy waited in the car while Sally said goodbye to Paul.
When they got home, Percy and Sally glanced at each other. "Well... that was ... fun." Percy mumbled.
"Oh Percy, I'm sorry. It will get better. Paul's a really nice man. I'm sure you will like him."
" It's alright, Mom. As long as you're happy. Night!"
"Good night, Percy."
