I looked in the mirror for what seemed like the hundredth time now, checking to see if I looked alright. Hair, makeup, clothes, check. It technically wasn't a real "date", but it sure felt like one. I try to calm myself down. It was casual thing, and others would be there "Relax. All we're going to do is watch a movie and then hang out. Then grab something to eat. Then maybe everyone else will leave suddenly and we'll be-"
I stopped myself mid-sentence in surprise. Was I about to say something that I didn't want to? A quick look at my reflection confirmed my feelings. A bright scarlet face stared right back me, bewildered. Oh no. I was smitten. Smitten with those smiling blue eyes, that goofy carefree grin and that hair that was perfect, apart from that one cowlick that never seemed to want to stay down. "Alfred do you have to do this to me?"
