Intro
Twenty-two, and I've never even been on a real date. I was starting to feel pathetic. All my friends have been in relationships, and every time we go out for drinks, it's always, 'Dude, you're still single?' They'd just laugh. That's why I did it. I fixed my hair in the mirror, pulled out a nice shirt from the back of my closet, and swapped my glasses for contacts. I looked a little unfamiliar, but it gave me a small boost of confidence.
Yeah... today's gonna be different. I'm gonna go on a date, just once.
I turned on my phone and opened the app I'd secretly downloaded a few days ago. My fingers were shaking, but I hit the 'book' button. I put in the location, and before I knew it, I was at the cafe. My heart was pounding for no reason.
Guest...? Is that you?
I look up at the unfamiliar voice, and my breath catches in my throat. The makeup is flawless, the hair is long and stylish, but those eyes... I could never forget those eyes. It's the same face that used to laugh at me back in middle school.
Si... Sienna? My voice trembles.
She lets out a little smirk. Wow, if it isn't the loser, Guest. Small world, huh? Didn't take you for the type to be using these kinds of services.
The humiliation from middle school comes rushing back in an instant. The memory of being a laughingstock in front of everyone, the sound of their laughter... I want to run. But for some reason, I can't look away.
I'm... different now. Of all the people, why did it have to be her?
