Oh my God.

Are you kidding me?

Dinner? I’m going to dinner with the Scott Sawyer? And not even that; I’m paying for Scott’s dinner while also playing third wheel to Denise’s date night. Jesus, what’s been happening these last few days? Couldn’t I get one week without something going completely tits up?

Maybe that kickball to the face hit me harder than I thought? Maybe this was all a concussion delusion? Nah, I wasn’t that lucky.

“Hellooo? Earth to Sydney?”

I blinked, back to sitting on my bed as Denise held two dresses against her body. “Sorry, what?”

Denise let out a huff. “You said you’d help me pick out an outfit! And I’d help you; equal trading and all that.”

Oh. Right. I crossed my arms, sending a scowl her way. “Remind me again why I’m indulging this insane idea of yours?”

“Because you, by your own admission, made it very clear that this way your way of apologizing.” Denise replied, holding a black, sheer knee-length dress against her body. “What do you think? Too formal?”

“But it’s a date!” I said.

“Why’d you offer, then?” Denise asked.

I opened my mouth to reply, but stopped. I was the one who made the offer in the first place. I couldn’t really yell at her for that. “W-Well, I didn’t really think about the context of it all. It’s practically a double-date.”

One of Denise’s eyebrows raised my way. “Yeah, I said that before, too, but you seemed cool with it.”

“Again; didn’t really consider the context.” I sighed, flopping back against my bed while wrapping my arms around my waist. “Denise, be honest. Is this just the Universe’s way of screwing with me?”

Denise set both dresses on her bed before hopping over to mine. “What you mean, girl?”

I sat up, arms folded against my lap. “I mean, Scott and I always seem to get pushed together somehow. No part of me wanted him here, and yet…” I let out another, heavy sigh. “You think it’s some sort of karmic retribution? Should I go work at a soup kitchen to get some brownie points?”

Denise made a slight face. “I’m pretty sure anyone who’d say that would just get worse Karma.”

Crap.

“But maybe you two keep getting pushed together for a reason outside of pissing each other off?” Denise offered. “Like, I dunno, to resolve some of that past tension between you two? Maybe the Universe wants you two to make out? Make up, sorry,” She laughed. “Freudian slip, I guess.”

God, it seemed to always round back to us kissing. “Maybe the Universe thinks we make a cute couple,” I bemoaned.

Denise giggled. “Honestly? This whole, ‘Universe’ talk sounds a bit like you projecting.”

I scoffed. “What are you, my therapist?”

Denise shrugged. “I dunno; you sure talk to me like I’m one. Now, seriously, can you help me out?”

I rolled my eyes, gesturing her off my bed and back towards the dresses. Denise lets out a squeal, practically flying back to her side of the room to scoop up the two hangers. Maybe if I just saw tonight as nothing but an apology to Scott, it would go over better.
