Part Fifteen ~ Double Date

Today is the day. The day I was dreading...

How can I focus on anything besides the date. Miles has been reminding me all morning and Isla all during class. The only person who hasn't said a word about it was Cedric. Strangely enough, despite my anxiety, I was kind of excited. I mean it is my first real date after all.

The day rolled by too quickly. My classes had all ended one by one. Looking at the time every so often only made it worse. I didn't realize I had been counting down the minutes until it was finally time.

Isla and I are in our room getting dressed for the night. We should've started an hour ago but Isla lost her wand and I had to help her look for it.

I only saw Miles and Edward today, in the class I shared with them. It's been hours since then and I'm not sure if I can face them tonight.

ISLA: Think you can go any faster?
Y/N: What? Putting on earrings takes time. We hat if I accidentally pierce another hole and my ears start bleeding?
ISLA: I don't care how many holes you poke just get the darn earrings in already. We still have to do your hair nails and put on your dress.
Y/N: I know I know

With shaky hands I put my earrings through the holes. I decided to wear a thin pearl necklace that my mom gave me before coming here. It'll be a nice touch with my dress.

Y/N: Do you think Miles will be expecting anything...?
ISLA: What do you mean?
Y/N: Like I'm not going to have to kiss him or something right?

Isla laughs as I stare at her in genuine confusion.

ISLA: No silly, not if you want to
Y/N: Okay good
ISLA: Why do you seem so relived? I mean it's just a kiss
Y/N: First kiss in my case...
ISLA: Omg no way. Then you totally have to let him kiss you! How romantic would it be that your first date is ended with a kiss
Y/N: Ya... no. I'm just worried about getting through the date itself first.
ISLA: I mean I don't know what Cedric will be expecting either but I guess I'll just have to wait and see
Y/N: Are you planning.. on you know.. kissing Cedric?

I say biting my lip as the nerves build up inside me.

ISLA: If he wants to, sure

She shrugs.

Of course he'll want to. Isla's pretty abs popular and anyone would want to be with her. I don't know why but this was an unsettling thought for me. I try to shake it off reminding myself that Cedric is her date and they can do what they please. It is none of my business.

——————————————————————————-
After two long hours, the both of us were finally ready.

Isla is dressed is a short silk blue dress, with gold hoop earrings and a dainty necklace to match.

Me on the other hand, I was wearing what seemed to be my perfect dress. An off the shoulder number with a sweetheart neckline .It was blush pink in color, just above the knees in length, and perfect against my complexion. For the first time in a while I felt truly pretty.

ISLA: Ready to meet up with the boys?
Y/N: No? I don't know! I'm nervous
ISLA: Don't be, I'll be right there with you the whole time

I nod and take a deep breath as she leads me to exit the building.

——————————————————————————-

We are greeted by Miles at the entrance. I took more deep breaths as we approached him. He was wearing a white button down with a pink tie. Did Isla tell him the color of my dress??

MILES: Ladies!
ISLA AND Y/N: Miles
MILES: Wow.. you too look

CEDRIC: Perfect

I look up as I notice a tall figure suddenly standing before. I'm in complete awe to see Cedric arrive at this moment. He's wearing a black button down, sleeves rolled up half way, no tie, a few buttons undone, and he is standing with his hands in his pockets. Ya. He looks great.
