I unlocked my phone and checked what Sodo's response was...
' Hi, Neptune. I would love to go on a date with you! I just need to know what time it'll be tomorrow. ' He answered.
« Kelly, Kelly! » I exclaimed.
« What? » She asked as she came closer to me to look at my phone.
She read the message. « Alright! I'm so happy for you! » She said, smiling.
' I was thinking we could go at 6-7 PM, there aren't many people at this time. ' I said, answering Sodo's text.
' Alright! I can't wait! ' He replied.
I smiled as I saw his text.
« You're very happy, aren't you? » Kelly asked, noticing how big the smile on my face was.
« Maybe... » I said, smirking.
« Come, the muffins are almost ready. » Kelly said.
I stood up and followed her to the kitchen. Kelly took the muffins out of the oven and put them on the counter. We waited a few minutes for them to cool down before eating one.
« Hmh! They are so good! » Kelly exclaimed as she swallowed the bite she took.
« Agreed. » I said, smiling.

I had just gotten into my room when I heard my phone ring. I got a message from Neptune. I immediately opened Snapchat to see what she said.
' Hey, Sodo! I'm gonna go straight to the point... I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date with me at the arcade, possibly tomorrow? ' The text said. ' By the way, please don't tell Swiss or Aether. ' Another text said.
My face immediately started to heat up, and my heart was racing. I sat on my bed and answered her text. It took a little more time than intended to write the text as I kept rewriting my answer.
' Hi, Neptune. I would love to go on a date with you! I just need to know what time it'll be tomorrow. ' I said.
I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about many things at once.
« Sooodoooo. » A familiar voice said. « Sodo! » Swiss exclaimed.
« Ah! What?! » I exclaimed, annoyed.
« Were you zoning out? » He asked.
Just as I was about to answer, my phone rang again. It was Moon who answered my text.
' I was thinking we could go at 6-7 PM, there aren't many people at this time. ' She answered.
« Ooh! Who is it? » Swiss asked as he took my phone from my hands.
« SWISS! » I angrily said as I tried taking my phone back.
« Neptune? » He said as he looked at the screen.
« SWISS, GIVE ME MY PHONE, FUCKING DUMBASS! » I exclaimed.
« I was thinking we could- » He started reading out loud.
« BITCH! » I said, slapping him and finally taking my phone back.
I left the bedroom to go to the living room and took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. I sat on the couch.
' Alright! I can't wait! ' I answered her text before closing my phone and smiling to myself.

I borrowed a pair of pajamas from Kelly since I obviously didn't have mine. Kelly and I were putting a mattress on the floor in her room for me to sleep on as she knew I didn't exactly like sharing beds. I was already too excited for tomorrow.
« What do you want to do tomorrow morning? » Kelly asked as I sat on the mattress, which now had a blanket and a pillow on it.
« I don't know. How about we go shopping? I kinda want to buy some cute clothes for my date. »
I answered.
« That's such a good idea! I'll help you choose! » Kelly exclaimed.
Kelly had a great sense of fashion, so I was kinda glad she was gonna help me choose the clothes.
「The next morning」
I woke up, and it was 10 AM. I, not so gently, woke Kelly up.
I blasted Ride the lightning on the speaker in her room, which caused her to wake up in one second and startled.
« OLIVIAAA! » She exclaimed as she threw a pillow at me.
I stopped the music and busted out laughing, I couldn't help it.
« Ugh, I could've slept a little longer. It's only 10. » She complained.
After she had fully woken up, we both headed downstairs to eat breakfast before starting to get ready for the day. I put on the same outfit as yesterday since I didn't bring any other clothes.
« What do you think you should wear on a first date? » Kelly asked, looking at my current outfit.
« I don't know, what did you wear on your first date? » I asked.
« A basic outfit, my fit for my date with Swiss, was better. » She said. « Hop in the car, let's get going. » She then said as she grabbed her car keys.
I followed her to her car, and I sat in the passenger seat.
« Okay, you like the color black. If you want to be fancy for your first date, I was thinking maybe a black turtleneck dress? Or if you don't like dresses, maybe a turtleneck longsleeve shirt with beige baggy jeans? Also, maybe a coat since it's probably gonna be cold? You could keep your black combat boots, or we could buy high-heeled boots? I was also thinking about a hat, but I'm still not sure. Maybe it'll depend on the temperature... well, your opinion as well. » She said.
I had a bit of trouble following what she was saying, but I understood most of it. I tried imagining what the outfit would look like.
« It could work. » I answered her.
« Alright, then we're gonna have to stop at multiple shops. » Kelly said, smiling.
「Back home」
Even tho Kelly and I had already decided on my outfit, she made me try on many things. I was getting tired so good thing it was the last shop. Kelly kept on saying that she couldn't wait to get home to see the outfit on me. I was also excited to try it on, not gonna lie.
As soon as we got back to Kelly's house, I went to the bathroom to try on the outfit. It was really pretty yet I was scared that it would be too much...
I got out of the bathroom, wearing the outfit. Kelly dramatically gasped when she saw me.
« You're stunning! It fits you so well! » She exclaimed.
« Thank you... » I said, smiling. « You don't think it's too much? » I asked hesitantly.
« Absolutely not! I'm telling you, Sodo's gonna freak out! » Kelly said. « Can I do your makeup? » She then asked.
« Hm... sure. » I answered.
I wasn't exactly sure about Kelly doing my makeup as I knew she was a bit too extra sometimes... But I gotta say, this time, she made it look just perfect. She dragged me back inside the bathroom and got all of her makeup stuff out.
« This is amazing. You're literally better than me at putting on makeup. » I said, looking at myself in the mirror once she was done.
« Sodo is gonna LOVE, for sure. » Kelly said, looking at me in the mirror.
« With the number of times you said that, I don't doubt it. » I said, chuckling.
「Later」
It was now 5:40. If I wanted to get there for 6, we had to leave now since the arcade was 30 minutes from Kelly's house. Kelly was going to drive me there since I didn't have a car, obviously.
« I'm so nervous, I hope it's gonna go well. » I said as my leg bounced up and down because of the anxiety.
« Olivia, breathe. It's gonna be fine! » Kelly said.
« What if he doesn't come? » I said, imagining the worst scenarios.
« Olivia! » Kelly loudly said.
« What! WHAT! » I said.
« He's gonna come. Now stop imagining the worst scenarios and concentrate on imagining the best ones. » Kelly said.
After another 20 minutes of driving and listening to music, we finally got there.
« Good luck! » Kelly said as I got out of the car. « Remember! Call me if something goes wrong! I'll beat his ass up! » She said, laughing, before I closed the car door and waited outside the building for Sodo.
Sodo wasn't here yet, but it wasn't surprising. When we were about 5 minutes away from the place, he texted me to say he was on his way, and from the house to the arcade, it was a 15-minute drive. A few minutes later, I got a text from Sodo, saying he was there. I closed my phone, put it in the pocket of my coat. It was cold outside, like really cold. Maybe I should've put the hat Kelly told me to put...
