(This is a part two for Now is Later Right?)


Zoey's POV


Ashleigh:"Zoey your going to be fine. Breathe damn it. Don't want you passing out before he get's here."

Zoey:"Yeah but he is getting Mr Arsement to pick us up and drive home later."

Ashleigh:"What do you expect Landon is his cousin. Obviously he still needs a ride right?"

Zoey:"Yeah I know. I guess I'm just nervous."

Ashleigh:"Anyone would be in your situation. It's only 5:30. And I need to get home now anyway."

Zoey: "Oh yeah thanks for just up and leaving."

Ashleigh:"Love you too hun."

I watched her wave back towards me before exiting the front door. She was so casual about this. As if she had done it a thousand times. I couldn't help but keep nervously looking at my phone. Hoping to see a message come up from Landon. We had been talking non stop. The only time we weren't talking was when we were at school in different classes. I remember Mr Arsement put us together again in History. We still did all of our work and talked more about each other. I found out that the only reason he was allowed to even have a YouTube account was because Mr Arsement knew he would have to do is work while living with his cousin. That's something that surprised me actually. He lived with his cousin and Mr Barn. I wasn't sure who Mr Barn was as I had never been in his class. I think he taught Music and Vocals I wasn't sure. He might have been the Drama teacher. Note to self. Ask Ash about that guy.

Landon: "Hey Zoey. Just letting you know Preston and I are leaving now. Remember you don't have to wear anything too flashy or pretty. Just be comfortable ok?"

Zoey: "Ok. Have you got my address?"

Landon: "It's already locked into the GPS. We will be there in ten. I will uh. I'll talk to you soon ok?"

Zoey: "Ok. See you soon Landon."

Holy shit this was real. This was happening. I was about to go on a date with Landon. I started to panic. What if he doesn't actually like me or think I'm cute and it was just a dare from his friends? What if he is just doing this as a bet? What if he turns up and he is just going to laugh at what I'm wearing? I looked down at myself and felt the need to change. I was originally going to wear this really nice blue and pink faded skirt that fell to my feet and a nice white top. I felt so pretty and I know it was unique. Most girls now a days don't wear clothes like this. But I love the old era of fashion. The dresses that started from the hips and flowed naturally down the legs. It felt so free and I felt so pretty. But what if it wasn't enough? I mean I don't give a fuck about Make up. But what if he expects it? I know that society tells us we have to wear it but I look fine without it. What if he is one of those guys that would expect his date to look pretty, To keep him from looking at other girls? What if we get there and he does look at other girls? I mean would I blame him. I'm not the most beautiful person in the world but I have my own redeeming qualities. I'm intelligent at least. I hadn't realised I had been making myself feel like shit for so long until I heard a knock at my door. I walked over to it and opened it wide.Hoping it was Ash coming back to tell me I was just being stupid.That there was nothing wrong with me. But Landon stood in front of me. A pair of blue jeans and a black shirt. His jacket over his torso as he handed me a single Rose.

Zoey:"Traditional."

Landon:"You deserve the best."

I couldn't help but smile at him. He was really trying already. And we had barely left my apartment. Yeah yeah an 18 year old has her own apartment. Sue me. Actually don't do that. I wouldn't be able to payout. My head facing the floor. I felt embarrassed.
