"Don't judge my bangs. My mom made me do it." I say.
"It's cute." He says, biting back a laugh.
"Asshole," I murmur.
"Wait... In the photo, you're wearing..." He says, trailing off.
My eyes widen when I realize I'm wearing my bracelet in that pict...
"What do you think?" Lilac asks, showing me her outfit.

"Cute and simple," I say.
"Just what I was going for." She says.
"You want me to do your eyeliner?" I ask.
"Yes, please! I envy your steady hands." She says.
"We can't all be talented. I guess," I say, smirking.

I put my hair up and put on a cap. I step out and ask, "Incognito? A regular person hiding behind a hat."
"Love it! He's on his way, so you should get going." She says, handing me her car keys.
I head outside and back out of her driveway. I stay inside the car and wait for Lilac and her date to arrive.
10 minutes later, I spot them near the entrance and realize her date is Matt. I was not expecting that...
A few minutes later, I stepped into the restaurant. I look for Lilac and see her near a window. When I look around for an empty table, I spot someone familiar in the corner.
I walk towards him and see him glance at me. "Why do you look suspicious?" I ask, pointing at his hoodie and sunglasses.
"Rose? What are you doing here?" He asks.
"I can't eat at a restaurant?" I ask, confused.
"Sorry, that was rude. I meant-" I cut him off.
"I'm kidding. My best friend is on a date, and she wants me to make sure she's safe." I say.
Alex invites me to sit down, so I slip into the chair across from him. "Were you waiting for someone?" I ask, not sure if I should stay here.
"Nah, I'm guessing your best friend is Lilac? The only friend I ever see you with? I'm here to make sure Matt's not going to get murdered today." He replies.
