A/N: It seems that late has become my first and middle name. -.-
Enter Ami
I felt so completely out of my element, as I fiddled with the light blue headband that Mina had put on me to keep my short hair in place. For the millionth time since I had first seen him tonight I wished that I had done something special with my hair. I gave myself a mental shake.
This isnt like me! I thought. I focus on my studies not my looks! What is wrong with me?!
"Hello, am I that boring?" he asked with a laugh. I jerked to attention. What had he said? I felt myself blush. I had just spaced out and missed everything he said. Oh way to go! Hes going to think Im a total space case now.
"No, you're not boring, I...I just...I have a lot on my mind lately. Im still in school and all and I have tests..."
I felt like an idiot. Rambling on like that. And there had been the possibility that he hadnt known how young I was...well that was blown out of the water now.
"I hadnt realized you were so young," he stated. I felt my breath lock in my throat. Oh great. Now hes going to take me home and my first date with an older guy will be over before it even began. How much more humiliating can a date get? "Youre very mature for your age, Ami." I looked at him in surprise. Wasnt he taking me home?
"Um...thank you?"
He chuckled. "It was a compliment. I would never have guessed that you are as young as you are. So is school still the terror I remember?"
I laughed. "You sound like my friends Mina and Serena. Its not a terror. I find it quite fun."
"Fun?" he asked, his voice incredulous. "You must either not like being at home or are very smart."
"Well I do strive for perfect scores..." I said slowly.
"See thats what I mean. Intelligence beyond compare and an indescribable beauty. What more could I ask for?"
I couldnt help giggling. Giggling? Oh no. Now I DEFFINATLY sounded like a ditz. He pulled into a parking space at a nice restaurant down town and I reached for my door handle. He cleared his throat loudly and I looked at him, my head cocked in question. "Forgive me but Im a bit old fashioned. I open and hold doors for ladies. So if you will..." he said raising an eyebrow at me.
I folded my hands in my lap and gave him a small smile feeling some how very shy now. He smiled broadly and got out of the car. I sat quietly and took a deep breath to calm my nerves. He opened the door and helped me out. He made me feel special. Cherished. I found that I liked the feeling.
