Nelson's POV
Today's the big day. Going on a date with Grace. What should I do? I must have some info.
"Molly!" I say running up to her, almost tripping on a stray shoelace.
"What do you want Melson?" she asks.
"It's Nelson. And I need to ask you a few questions."
"If one of them is about getting an autograph, then no." she says.
"I wasn't going to ask you for an autograph. I just need to ask you a few questions about Grace." I explain.
"For that stupid date she was yapping about on the phone?" she says. Wow. Harsh.
"Yeah. So... You should know a few facts about Grace." I say.
"Fine. What do you want to know about her?" she asks me.
"Her favorite flower."
"Bush daisies."
"Should I bring her something?"
"Yes. Chocolate, especially if they have nuts in it."
"Should I dress up?"
"Yeah. Make sure to wear the color orange." she says.
RING!
Great. The bell.
"Okay. Thanks." I say.
"No problem." she says with a mischievous look in her eyes. Hmm... I wonder what's up with that.
It's lunchtime, and I make my way to Gravity 5's table. I can't help but smile.
"What's making you so happy?" Kacey asks me.
"He has a date with Grace today." Stevie says.
"THAT'S RIGHT! I GOTTA DATE!" I yell. So I'm a little hyper. And very happy.
"Slow down there tiger. Can you tell us where and what are you gonna do on you date?" Kevin says.
"Grace and I are going to IHOW." I say.
"That restaurant with all the changes and chiz?"
"Yup. I hear it's magic week today." I say.
"What are you two gonna do?" Kacey asks me skeptically.
"Simple things. Eat, see some magic tricks, I'll bring her flowers and chocolate, maybe see a movie if we have free time."
"Wait a minute. Flowers? Chocolates?" Stevie asks.
"Yeah. Why? Doesn't everyone do that? Right? Please tell me they do." I say.
"Sometimes, but what kind of flowers are you bringing?" Kacey asks.
"Bush daisies. Why?"
"Dude. Grace is super allergic to those! Her face gets all red and puffy!" Kacey exclaims.
"I didn't know that! Well, at least I'll bring her chocolate." I say.
"Please tell me there is no nuts in it."
"Is she allergic to nuts?" I ask.
"Yes." Kacey says.
Great. I could've screwed up that date. I could've killed her! I feel so bad.
"So what do I do?" I ask.
"Bring her pink roses. Don't bring chocolate. Everyone should know that the guy only brings the Perf chocolate on the second date."
"I didn't know that!"
"Well, you should've." Zander says.
"Who told you to bring those to Grace?" Kevin asks.
"Molly." I say and realize my mistake.
"For a smart guy, you're kind of oblivious when it comes to Grace."
"I thought Molly was helping me."
"You think she would be happy with one of us dating a Perf?" Kevin asks. How could I be so oblivious? Ugh...
"I thought she would be supportive for her friend."
"She's never supportive to anyone! Not even to Grace." Kevin exclaims.
"Oh yeah..."
"Just let me enjoy my turkey sandwich in peace." Zander says.
"I thought you were having tuna." Stevie says.
"Does tuna and turkey work together?" Kacey asks.
"No. No. It doesn't work. Tuna and turkey... They're just not right for each other." Zander states. He's very enthusiastic when it comes to sandwiches.
"Do you think my date is gonna be okay?" I ask them.
"That depends... Usually, if it's with a Perf, there's a great chance it will fail within the first five minutes." Zander says.
"How would you know that?" I ask him.
"I tried it two times before joining Gravity 5," he says bluntly. "Sure they were gorgeous, but all they kept talking about was me becoming a Perf boy and destroying Stevie or something. And something about makeup and shoes." he says. Must've been an interesting date.
"Which Perf?" Stevie asks him with an annoyed look in her eyes. Jealousy? Possibly.
"Oh, no one. Some girls. Can't remember. Jealous?" he asks Stevie with a mischievous smile on his face. She just crosses her arms and rolls her eyes as her face turns pink. "Anyways, I think you'll be alright Nelson. It's Grace after all. She may be second-in-command Perf, but that doesn't mean she's mean as Molly." he states. That makes me feel better. Grace is sweet.
I notice Grace smile at me from the Perf table, and Molly just glares at her. Grace looks down, says something to Molly, makes her way away from the table, and she signals for me to follow her.
"I'll just... Yeah." I say and make my way over to Grace.
A/N: I think this is a pretty good place to stop. So... Yeah... Not the best chapter, but hopefully, you'll love the next chapter. I think the next chapter's pretty good, if I say so myself. And I can be a critique. Even to myself. Haha.
