Before Amy knew it, Friday afternoon had come. As soon as the final bell rang, she and Emma ran to their lockers to grab their stuff.

Hey Amy. someone said from behind her. Ready for tonight?
Hey J.T.! I'm MORE then ready. I can't wait! You're coming at 7 right?
7 it is! I can't wait! See you then!! J.T. said as he left Amy's locker.
Ah! He is so cute! Emma, you have to help me look EXTRA good for tonight even though we are going to dinner and a movie.Amy said with a laugh.
Of course I will! And just because you're going to dinner and a movie doesn't mean that you still can't look hot!! Emma said as she shut her locker.
That is so true! Amy said and shut hers. Let's go! There is only 3 and a half hours until my date!!!! She said with a laugh.

As Amy and Emma were walking home, they heard someone calling their name.
Amy! Emma! Wait up! they turned around and realized they hadn't waited for Sean.
Sorry Sean!!! they called. We were in a rush to get home so Emma could help me to get ready for my date! Amy said as Sean finally caught up to them.
Oh yes, the long awaited date with J.T. Sean said with a grin. So what are your plans for tonight Em?
Well, I think I am going to spend another Friday night in front of the t.v. waiting for Amy to get home to call me and tell me how her date was! Emma said
And then tomorrow, you and me are hanging out and you're sleeping over at my house, or I'm sleeping over at yours like we talked about.
Well, why don't we hang out at mine and sleep at yours because it's hard to get any sleep with Jack and Snake nowadays.
Okey dokey! Tomorrow night at my house it is! Amy said excitedly.Speaking of home, here we are! Let's go Em!! Only 3 hours! Amy laughed.

A few hours,outfits, and hairstyles later, Amy was finally satisefied with the way she looked. Oh Emma. Thank you so much for helping me tonight. You're such a good friend.
You're welcome! I enjoyed hanging out with you and it was fun to dress you up and do your hair. J.T. is going to die when he sees you. You look GREAT!
Emma, I'm really nervous! This is my first date.
Are you serious? I thought you had dates all the time.
It seems like it doesn't it? Because I'm so it seems like I get dates all the time. Yeah, I got asked out a lot by all the hot, popular guys, but it didn't feel like they wanted to go out with me for me you know? It feels like that with J.T though. It's different then anyone I have ever crushed on. When I see him, it's like.........god I can't even explain it.
Well, I guess you will have no problems then. Oh yeah, it's also J.T.'s first date too, so he is probably really nervous also. Don't worry about it like I did when I went on my first date. Did Sean tell you about that? It was disastrous. I thought he would never speak to me again, but he did. You'll be fine, don't worry.

Just then, the doorbell rang.
I'll get it Amy! Sean called.Oh hey J.T.! Amy heard Sean say. Amy! J.T. is here!

Just a minute!! Amy called back. Oh god! It's him!! Emma, I will call you as soon as I get home ok? I promise.
It's ok if you can't you know. Emma said with a laugh.
You're such a great friend!! Amy said and quickly hugged Emma.

Emma grabbed her stuff and walked with Amy to the front hall where Sean stood with J.T. right next to him, a rose in hand.

Wow. Amy you look gorgeous! J.T. said. Well, you always do to me, but you look really really good tonight. Here, this is for you. he said as he handed her the rose.
Thank you J.T. You don't look half bad yourself.
Are you ready to go Amy? he asked.
I have been since you asked me on this date!. she replied. Sean, I have my cell if you and Tracker need me ok? See you later! she called to him as she and J.T. walked out the door.

So, where do you want to go eat? Amy asked as she closed the door behind her.
Well, I was thinking we could go to the Dot and then to the mall for a movie. Is that ok with you?
Sure! I have never been to the Dot before and I have wanted to go since me and Emma walked by it a few days ago.

Amy and J.T. started walking and talked about different things like school,music, movies, anything that came to mind. After about a ten minute walk, they arrived at the Dot and sat down.

someone called from behind her.
Hey Spinner! You work here?
Yeah. I have since I was like in 8th grade. What are you two doing here? Are you on a date?
Yes Spinner, we are on a date. J.T. said.
Oh. So you wouldn't go out with Craig but you'll go out with J.T.? Spinner asked Amy.
Well first off Spinner: I don't like Craig but I like J.T. I like J.T. a lot. Second: He cheated on his girlfriend with Manny and got her pregnant. And finally: If you're my friend, you won't talk about J.T. like that because he is my friend too. You should respect my friends and who I date. Got it?
Sorry Amy. Spinner said.
No. I want you to say sorry to J.T.
Sorry J.T.
It's ok Spin. J.T. said.
Anyways, are you guys ready to order? Spinner asked, trying to change the subject.
Amy said. I would like a burger and fries with banana peppers on the side and a sprite please. Thanks.
And for you J.T.?
I'll have the same.

As Spinner walked away, J.T. sat there in shock.

What is it J.T.? Are you weirded out by my banana pepper thing? It is kind of odd though.
No. It's not that. I like my burgers like that too. It's the whole Spinner thing. No one can get him to act like that except Paige. He was so vunerable. He would do anything you said.
Yeah well, I guess I just know how to talk to people.
Also, did you mean it when you said that stuff about liking me a lot?
Of course J.T. Amy said, while starting to blush. I told Emma that this was my first date and we were talking about why I said yes to you and no one else that has ever asked me. I said it was because when I'm with you, it's different then with other guys that I have ever had a crush on. When I'm with you, I always have a good time. It has never been like that with anyone else I know. Wow....maybe I shouldn't have said that because I totally just embarassed the hell out of myself.
No...you shouldn't be embarassed. It's weird though because that's one of the things I like about you. I feel different with you then anyone else. So when your brother came to my house, I asked him if I should just ask you out. He told me I should, and I'm happy I did.
That's so sweet J.T. Thank you.
At that moment, they both leaned in, and J.T. kissed her.

The rest of the night was a blur to Amy. A few minutes later, their food arrived. After they ate, they decided that they didn't want to go to a movie so they walked hand in hand to the park, sat down on a bench, and talked for hours.

This is nice J.T. I like spending this time with you. I have had such a good night.
Me too Amy. So, are we like boyfriend and girlfriend now?
I hope so. Amy said with a grin.
Yeah me too. he said and grinned back at her. I should walk you home, it's almost 11.
Yeah. Lets go.

A few minutes later, they reached Amy's house.
I don't want to say goodbye. Amy said as she wrapped her arms around J.T.
Me either. I'll call you tomorrow though ok? he said and quickly kissed her.
J.T.....I...I love you. Amy said
I love you too Amy. he said as he headed out down the street.

Amy ran into the house and into her room. She picked up the phone and dialed Emma's number. After an hour of talking and explaining the whole date, they decided to hang up and go to bed.

Amy got changed and climbed into bed. She was too excited and happy to sleep. All that was running through her head was J.T, J.T, and J.T.
