IN ENGLISH LIT, WE HAD been paired up for a creative writing assignment. Erica and I were partners, naturally, and were slowly getting our short story together. I felt like our professor just wanted an easy day, because it reminded me of an assignment I would have had to do in high school. Who was I to judge? Besides, it gave me and Erica time to socialize since it didn’t take us long to get through most of it.

“What time are you heading home tonight?” I asked Erica without looking away from my laptop. I needed to at least pretend to be working on the assignment.

“Probably when you get off work. We can walk home together.” I looked over to see her doodling in her notebook.

“Wanna go to Marcus’ with me tonight?” She looked up as I spoke that time, gauging my expression, I’d say.

I hadn’t told her much about my day with Marcus yesterday, but she knew we made up, so to speak. I also told her about Amy. She was as shocked as I was, considering neither of us had a clue he was that into her. Erica was anxious to meet her too, though she didn’t say as much out loud.

“Yeah, sure. Is he gonna work late though? Because we have that Bio test in the morning.” Crap. I’d forgotten about that.

“We won’t be there too late, I don’t think. I need to study too.” I sighed as I turned completely away from my laptop to face her. “He wants me to meet Amy tonight. Chad will be there too.”

“Oh, I see.” She nodded, giving me her full attention again. “Are you nervous?”

“Yes. No. I don’t know. It’s weird, right?” I bit my lip and drummed my fingers along my keyboard, making random letters appear on the screen.

“Kinda, I guess.” She shrugged. “It needs to happen though, doesn’t it?”

“Yeah. I’m gonna ask Justin to come along tonight too when I see him at the café.”

“This could get interesting, couldn’t it?” she said with a grin, which just made me groan.

“I don’t like how my misery excites you.”

“Hey, Justin is a good guy, and I’m sure Amy is nice too. You will all get along and learn to get over the awkwardness.”

“I wish I could be so sure.” I turned back to my laptop and let out a deep breath.

I was looking forward to meeting this girl, and I wanted Marcus to meet Justin, but I still couldn’t help but feel weird about it. This was a completely new step for us, but it was one we desperately needed to take. I desperately needed to take it. I just hoped Justin would be available to go with me.

I hadn’t asked him last night over the phone. I needed a chance to gain the confidence to ask him to meet my friends, when he hasn’t asked me to meet any of his. It had only been a week, so it didn’t really bother me. I was worried, though, that he would think it was too soon or something and freak him out.
