I swore to God that I hadn't seen Zinnia and Lily this happy when I broke the news of me and Danish going for a date to them. Zinnia jumped and took me in her arms and twirled while Lily started to tear up. This may look dramatic for an outsider but only we knew the happiness that we shared. The happiness of a girl who was scared to fall in love going for her first date. 

Danish texted me that he would pick me up at 6 pm. He still kept the destination of my first date a surprise, which made me more anxious and excited. 

As of now, I was in Lily's room as she went through some dresses for me in her closet. Since it was my first date, I wanted to look good. Not for Danish, but for myself. 

"What about this?" Lily asked as she held a lavender peplum dress to which I scrunched my nose, which was sequentially the fourth time.

Lily sighed before asking me, "What do you want, Elka?"

It was normal for someone to get angry when all you did was reject their style.

"Something darker?" I asked. 

"You mean black?"

I nodded my head with my lips pressed into a thin line. 

"Have you ever seen me wearing your favorite color?" she asked me to which I shook my head after a few seconds of thinking. 

"I don't like bright colors Lily. Give me something dark."

She sighed and turned around to check for something that was according to my taste.

"Oh, Elka," Lily called out with her back facing me. "You can't refuse this, baby."

She turned around holding out an amaranth full sleeve and high neck mid knee length wrap dress. It was simply beautiful which made me smile and nod instantly at Lily.

"There you go," Lily said after tucking a bobby pin on my hair. 

She braided my hair to a side with strands of curls falling out. I didn't wear any makeup, just a shade of matching amaranth on my lips. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I was dumbstruck. I never knew that I was this beautiful that I was literally gawking at my own reflection!

"You look pulchritudinous," Lily said, making me and Zinnia, who was standing beside me, look at her with a cringe on our face.

"She looks what?" Zinnia asked.

"Pulchritudinous. It means extremely beautiful," Lily said, smiling. 

"You could have just said beautiful instead of dragging literary words," I said, brushing the tail of my braided hair. 

"Anyways, you look really pretty. Danish is one lucky guy," Zinnia said to which I chuckled. "Did he say where's he taking you to?" Zinnia asked to which I pouted and nodded my head. 

"I'm sure it's some fancy restaurant and that's why I picked out this dress for her," Lily said, wiping the lipstick shade that was on her hands. 

"Yeah. Danish is a romantic guy after all. He is a deredere while you're a tsundere," said Zinnia. 

"What?"

Now it was Lily's time to cringe hearing a new word. 

"Oh you wouldn't know. It's for weebs and otakus. So peace out!" I said as I got up from the chair.

Just then we heard a horn that made the butterflies in the pit of my stomach wake up and go berserk. He was here. Danish was here to take me to my first date.
