Nicol woke up-it was January 25th, the day she was finally going to meet Max. She was so happy. She immediately grabbed her phone and, like always, the first thing she did was text him: "Good morning" With smile on her face, she got out of the bed and sighed, realizing she had nothing nice to wear. Max texted her back, and Nicol laid down again in bed while they chatted.
They started talking about where they'd go on their date. Max told her he had it all planned-but the first thing he revealed was: "We're going to feed deer." Nicol laughed out loud and said "Alright then" And Max added that after that, they'd go to the park.
Nicol messaged her friends, telling them how crazy excited she was. Her friends were happy for her, but also warned her: "Be careful-he's five years older" (Since Nicol was 18 and Max 23.)
She laughed and replied, "Girls , don't worry, He's a decent guy-trust me."
Standing in front of her closet, Nicol tried on outfit after outfit. She ended up picking something she usually wore-but was annoyed, feeling like she had nothing nice at all.
She did her makeup-put on fake lashes,blush,foundation-and wore pearls around her nack. She chose a white top with neckline and black baggy pants. Then, she sent photos to her friends asking: "Do you think he'll like this?" They all said yes.
Still, she was nervous. Really nervous. "What if he doesn't like me in person?" she kept thinking. He was so handsome-and she was stressed, but also unbelievably excited to finally see him and give him a hug for the first time.
Even just the thought of it made her smile. She and Max were still texting. He asked her what he should wear, and Nicol replied "I don't care-just as long as you're there."
But in the back of her mind, she remembered how Max had told her a few days ago about a date ge once went on-where the girl looked nothing like her pictures, so he left. That made Nicol anxious. She kept checking herself in the mirror, wondering if she looked okay.
They texted about what time and where excatly they'd meet time flew.
Nicol grabbed her black handbag and wearing flower permufe on herself and headed out to wait for the bus-to go see him.
