"I wanna take you out." Ricky's sudden outburst caught me off guard.
We were sitting at the bar in his kitchen, eating apple slices from a plate. We hasn't spoken all morning; if assumed he wasn't feeling well. Apparently he was deep in thought.
"Okay." I countered. "Why, though? You know I'm not the 'go out all the time' kind of girl."
"We've been together a month tomorrow? We haven't been on a date, yet."
I gave a look. "Those movie nights on the couch when your mom was late don't count? I counted all of those dates. Time together, me and you and no one else, is a date."
He shrugged. "That didn't count to me. I want to make you feel special. Not like a friend. Move nights are hanging out. I wanna do something nice."
I nodded. "Alright. No fancy Italian restaurants or anything. Do something that can be counted as a date but is something I wouldn't feel awkward about. Please?"
He looked thoughtful. "Alright. Can it be a surprise?"
"Ricky-"
"It won't be bad! I promise."
I hesitated but agreed.

"Where's Ricky now?"
"He's gone somewhere. Devin called in a panic about someone stealing their Motionless equipment."
I was sitting with Vannah at a bench.
"How are you and Balz?" I asked.
"Something there, I'm just starting to believe I'm the only one who sees it."
"He has to see it. I know it. You don't hide it."
"He doesn't like me." Vannah replied, her head falling.
"Vannah-" I was cut off by the sound of my phone going off. It was Chris.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Clara!"
"Yeah?"
I heard him sigh. "It's Ricky."

I'm so sorry. I just have had bad writer's block. I had no idea what to write and so I was sitting around this morning and I decided on a new direction for this. I had to get something out. I did. I'm sorry is short but I wanted to give you guys a sort of "sneak peak"/something to think about. Comment guys!-Michaela
