Today is Sunday.

The last day of the Semester break.

After that stressing and mind blowing situation that occurred last Monday, he never came back to the shop again - because I told him not to do that ever again. And out of the blue, Luke insisted to take me out for a date.

A date.

A real date.

It's not that we haven't gone on a date before, in fact, we've been going out after my work for the last six days.

We've been having dinner together, played in the arcades, went to a theme park, watched movies together and calling each other before we even sleep. I must say, all those pretty normal things are done by some dating people, I've already experienced them - finally.

But this one is gonna be different, as what he's been telling me.

Luke wants to take me to a formal dining restaurant in a high-end mall at the neighboring city.

Formal dining.

I don't know why I'm feeling agitated and I'm kind of panicking right now. Maybe because I haven't gone out for a formal dinner before and since I don't have any experience for that, obviously I don't have any appropriate dress for the occasion. Actually, I can refuse his invitation in just a simple no. But I don't want to do that either.

And the worst case - Cindy's not yet here.

("Ahahaha - Annie! You can't really live without me!")

Yes, I'm with the phone, talking to her right now.

"Cindy, I'm shorthanded here." I hate to call her and ask to her advice but it's a quick help that I can use.

("Haha - I know! Haha")

"What can I do? I mean, what should I do?"

("Annieee! Damn! Haha haha") I think I might regret soon calling her. She's been laughing at me for a good time now.

"Just tell me what I should do. What to wear, and the make-up? And um, what I should do with my hair?

("I'm crying right now, Annie!") I bet she is. Laughing so hard at me! She's breathing harsher now, due to her ear deafening laugh.

"Cindy —"

("Haha haha, I know, I know. If you could just hear yourself - haha!") I might just as well shut up first to get her attention. Yes, I should do that. I put the phone on loudspeaker, get up from my bed and go fetch myself a glass of water.

("Annie, you're really funny, ya know? Haha!") She will probably be quiet soon...

("Come on, tell me what time is it - oh, it's 7:00 in the morning, Annie and your date is gonna be at 18:00! Aren't you so stressed? Haha!") A part of me just want to laugh with her, but I can't. Because kidding aside, I'm really stressed about this. And honestly speaking, I didn't have a good sleep last night thinking about what's going to happen today.
