The Date by 69 cups of noodles

She hears him tell Kevin he has a date and she shouldn’t care, really. It’s not like he hasn’t had dates before. She’s sure lots of girls would like to date him, he’s funny and nice and he pulls out chairs and opens doors. But when she sees him slip out early (right in the middle of her theory), it kind of hurts and she can’t explain why. It’s not the first time she’s felt this way.

Maybe his date (whoever she is) will want him to take her to see some dumb chick flick. She knows he hates that.

=======

He hears Michael tell her to have fun on her date and it’s like the way it used to be all over again. He hadn’t allowed himself to think of her dating and now he knows why. He wonders if she’ll get dressed up. He wonders if she’ll let him (whoever he is) kiss her. He wonders if she’ll be nervous, play with her necklace, shred napkins like she sometimes does. But really, he doesn’t even know if she does these things anymore.
