Back at the school, Anya had been talking to Riley and Zane, when she saw Wesley coming up. She said her goodbyes to them with no explanation and turned, trying to walk as quickly as she could. She never went on her pity date with him, and sure she felt bad about it, but she really never was planning on going. He texted her a few time about it, God only knows where he got her number from, but she just told him they would do it soon. She wasn't so sure that she could turn him down in person though, so she couldn't be anywhere near him. She thought she lost him, but she felt a light hand on her shoulder and closed her eyes before she turned around. "Hey, Wesley." She said, trying her best not to sound disappointed.

"Hey Anya." He said with a bright smile on his face. "I was just wondering about our date, you know, when do you think you would want to go."

"Oh I don't know." She let out a small laugh. "Uh, how about you choose?"

"Really?" She nooded nervously. "Okay, how about, tonight? Are you free? I know you cheerleaders are mighty busy." He laughed a little and Anya did her best to give him a smile.

"Uh, um no I'm not busy." She tried to lie, but she just couldn't.

"Great! I'll pick you up around 7?" He sounded so excited.

"Sure Wesley." She gave him a small smile and turned to go to class thinking 'tonight should be interesting...'

"So you're really gonna go on a date with like computer geek?" Holly J asked Anya as they were sitting in lunch. He was sitting a couple benches away from them, not taking his eyes off of her, even when he was talking to some one else, which was a little weird.

"I have to! I paid for him at the boy auction and now he thinks I'm really gonna go with him." I was motioning to him, and he looked a little embarrassed, but still didn't look away. "Besides, it's one night of my life, and it may make his life. So why not?" Holly J looked at her and then at him. He waved to her and she gave him a small wave back and then looked away nervously.

"That's why. But it's your choice and I can't stop you." Holly J laughed a little as Anya put her head down with a big sigh.

"Check it out, I've got a date with Anya later." Wesley said as he motioned toward Anya's lunch table, where she was talking with Holly J.

"Dude, it's a pity date." Dave said as he looked him in the eye. But Wesley just kept staring at Anya, he couldn't take him eyes off of her.

"Is not, I think she really likes me." He saw Holly J wave at him a little and he realized that they noticed he was staring. He gave her a wave before turning to look at Dave and Conner.

They looked at him before saying "You're pathetic." in unison. He knew they meant it in the nicest way possible so he just shrugged his shoulders and kept thinking about how great tonight's gonna be.

After school, Anya got ready for her 'date' dreading every moment. It wasn't that she didn't like Wesley, he seems okay, she just didn't want him to think that she liked him as more that a friend. She heard the bell ring and took one last look in the mirror before rolling her eyes. She walked downstairs and opened the door. Wesley was standing there with a black orchid in his hand. "Wesley, how'd you know black orchids are my favorite?" She asked as she took the flower and smelt it a little, accidently smiling.

He smiled back and said, "You told me, a while back, around the time I first talked to you."

"You remember that? I don't even remember that, no offense."

"Oh none taken. I think we should get going though, I have reservations made." She nodded and put the flower on the table near the door thinking 'this is going to be one weird night.'
