I HAVE TO GET GOING IF I WANT TO MAKE IT BACK TONIGHT. THERE MIGHT BE A FEW HOURS WHERE I WON’T BE ABLE TO RESPOND BUT I’LL BE IN TOUCH LATER.

BE SAFE…

I wrote back, okay talk to you later, and that was it; no more responses. He didn’t give me any details, but it seemed like he was okay. At least I had that. I should hear from him again later today so I had something to look forward to.

I focused my thoughts on going home instead of stressing over the fact that I was in love with someone who was only talking to me out of obligation.

While I waited for my mom to show, I sent a text message to Heather letting her know I secured a date to the dance. As soon as her class ended she called. She was ecstatic of course, and jumped right into making more plans. I tried to explain to her he was just coming as a favor, that he’d specifically told me he just wanted to be friends, but she was still optimistic.

“That might be what he says now,” she said. “But he could’ve easily, like, made up some excuse not to come. But he didn’t. Even if he doesn’t realize it yet; he totally likes you. I bet after spending the whole night with you on this date he’ll change his mind. This is you we’re talking about, Sadie. No guy could spend a whole night with you and not be completely smitten.”

Either Heather was trying really hard to boost my ego, so I wouldn’t feel bad Rayne didn’t return my feelings, or she’d set me up on some pedestal in her head that was entirely unrealistic. Either way, I wished I could share in her optimism, but I knew the real reason Rayne agreed to come to the dance—to be my bodyguard.

Heather and I decided to go shopping after school this afternoon to buy outfits for Saturday night. It was a Sadie Hawkins tradition to wear matching shirts with your date to the dance. Hopefully my mom would show up to the hospital soon, so I’d be sure to leave in time. Who knew how long they would make me stick around to finish their irrelevant tests.

Luckily, my mom showed up just as I said goodbye to Heather. I was hoping the day would be full of distractions to keep my mind off of Rayne.

There were a few moments when my mom left me alone with Dr. Jensen and I took advantage of the opportunity to ask him a little about himself. I’d always thought he seemed like potential dating material for my mom but she never would listen to me. I thought if I dropped a few hints, he might be willing to ask her out.

“So how do you like working at the hospital?” I asked, starting up a conversation.

Dr. Jensen shined a light into one of my eyes. “I enjoy it most of the time,” he said casually.
