I woke up in my bed. It was Saturday so I could hang out with Grayson. I got my phone and texted him.

Hey

Hey. How you feeling?

Better. Wanna hang out?

Yeah. Sure. Where do you wanna go?

First food. We will figure out after that.

I put my phone down and got dressed. I put on a black shirt, blue jeans, black hoodie, and white converse. I got my keys and my backpack and waited outside for Grayson. Grayson got here and I hopped in his car.

"So. Where are we eating?"
I grabbed the buckle.

"Applebee's?"

"Sure."
He pulled out of my driveway.

It was still dark. We drove over a bridge to get to the other side of town. I looked up at the lights. I hate moments like this. Feeling sorry for myself. I let out a sigh and looked at my phone.

"He's not going to call."
Grayson looked at me real quick.

"A girl can wish."

We finally arrived at Applebee's. We got our seats and ordered drinks.

"Why all the sudden are you missing your dad?"
Grayson was looking through the menu.

"Honestly. I don't know. Ever since we got that assignment I have missed him more."

"I thought you hated him."

"I don't exactly hate him. I mean he made me. And without me fabulous wouldn't exist."

We started laughing and our waiter came back.

"The couple at table 3 sent you this."

She set down a brownie with icecream.

"They said they can tell when a new couple is in the works."

We ordered our food and talked about everything.

"So. Tell me about yourself."
I took a spoonful of brownie.

"Well. I have a strange addiction to sweatshirts."
Grayson took a spoonful.

"So. Should we tell them that we are not dating?"
I sat back in my seat.

"Na. Let them enjoy it."
We finished the brownie and the waiter came back with my food.

I started eating and I got a call.

"Who's that?"
Grayson said while reaching for the salt.

"Someone from Australia."
I put my phone on mute and continued eating.

"Where do you want to go after this?"
Grayson finished up his meal.

"Well it's your turn to pick."
I cleaned up my area.

"Let's go on a hike."
He put his hands on the table.
