Really? A blind date? Shayden was of person was generally frowned upon this sort of thing. She was known as the mature one of her group of friends. She was mature, responsible, and she had taken care of her younger brother and sister from a young age. She had only dated a couple guys and liked to be in serious relationships where she felt strong feelings for the person she was with. She knew absolutely nothing about this person she was about to meet. What did that say about her? That she was a hypocrite? A bad example? A shame to her family.

She wondered what Aaliyah would think. Shayden had discouraged her from employing this sort of behavior. Now she was all set up for her own date, blissfully (or not so blissfully) unaware of who she was going on a date with.

What if her friends were wrong and the person she would be meeting was some creepy stalker kid? Or really mean? Or an absolute slob? Growing up in her prestigious family, Shayden had impeccable manners. She could only stand a mess when it involved dirt, and that only because she had grown accustomed to it from her days spent gardening. Dirty hands and sauces getting on shirts got on her nerves. She didn't want to deal with that on top of the stress she felt from being pushed into this.

She was dressed nicely, with wash-out skinny jeans and a cute white top with navy embroidery, but it was nothing too fancy. Her hair was left completely down, and she wore low heels, to make her seem a just a tad taller. She was relatively short, standing at only 5'4. At least she was still in shape and fit.

Shayden walked out the door, saying goodbye to Aaliyah, reminding her of everything that had to be done. Chances were that nothing would be taken care of. But, of course, she wouldn't be here to yell later. Her friends pushed out the door before she could finish.

They all chattered happily, making sure she looked perfect. Honestly, Shayden wondered what they were so excited about. Her possible agony? This could be one of the worst nights of her life. She didn't want to be going on a blind date, so why was she here? She was wasting her time, in her opinion. Who wanted to awkwardly sit with a complete stranger as you ate dinner together?

Of course, maybe she needed to be more optimistic about this. She had been viewing this like she was waiting for an awful experience. Maybe if she thought more positively she would enjoy herself more. It was worth a shot. After all, she should try to have a good time. Blind or not, this was a date. What if the boy honestly just wanted to have a fun time? What was so bad about that?

They arrived at their destination. It was a nice restaurant, but nothing too great. Casual and cool. Shayden's friends commanded her to close her eyes as they escorted her to a table set for two. Her date was already there, and Shayden examined him.

It was hard to see how tall he was, seeing as they were both sitting down. Anywhere from 5'7 to 5'9 seemed about right. His hair was brown with some black highlights, and very messy. His eyes, however, were a beautiful shade of sea green with gold and silver flecks. They were clearly his best feature. Shayden was captivated by them.

He seemed close to anorexic, in a man version. His body was gaunt, without an inch of fat on it. It was every women's dream to be like that. Lucky men.

Shayden smiled graciously at him. "Hey," she greeted. "I'm Shayden. Shayden Agatu. How are you?"

How in the world had my friends talked me into this? I mean, yes, I wanted a girl to date, and yes, I was actually a bit shy to ask one out, but never in a million years would I have guessed that my friends would have done something so ridiculous as this. A blind date.

I had went along with it, and now I stood in front of a mirror, my friends waiting in the living room of my house, preparing to take me where this date would occur. I wore something simple, a pastel green button up shirt, to match my eyes, and a pair of blue jeans that faded in the thighs. As I looked deep into the mirror, I could feel the butterflies churning, fighting to escape from my stomach. With a push of self-confidence, I froced myself out of the bathroom and into the livingroom, where I rubbed my hands together, clapped them, and did a gesture towards the door, where my friends quickly hopped out of their seats and followed behind me.

As I arrived at the small, formal-but-not-too-formal restaurant, all of the nerves had strangely escaped me, and I escaped from the car I had arrived in as quickly as I could after taking the money from one of my friends, named John, which had promised to pay for the date if I had agreed. Since I did, he was left without a choice.

I carefully walked through the puddled sidewalks up until the entrance, where I swung the door open and stepped in, serenaded immediately by violins.

I was seated quickly, and before I knew it, my date had walked in, and almost instantly I knew that I needn't be nervous about the date. She was absolutely stunning. With black, silken, hair that was kept in a ponytail, and a body forming shirt.

She seemed to be interested in me almost immedately, as she quickly stepped to our table. As she approached, she smiled, and spoke.

"Hey, I'm Shayden. Shayden Agatu. How are you?"

I loved her voice already. It was very smooth and a bit high pitched. It made perfect for a lady.

Before I spoke, I had arisen from my seat and moved beside her."And I'm Adam Exor. Just call me Adam though. I'm fine now that I know who my date is, and I'm pleased with the result already."

I moved my hands to her chair, where I carefully pulled it back. I wanted to make a good first impression, and I believed I was doing just that.

Shayden tried to act rationally, and not be stunned by how smooth his response was. But it was difficult. What girl didn't dream of being complimented by their date? They had hardly even met, but sparks were flying. It seemed that, for once, her friends hadn't totally screwed up. She could never be too careful, though. They didn't know each other. Adam could end up being a total jerk. She had to remember that just because he was polite now, didn't mean he was always like that.

But first impressions were everything. Adam pulled out Shayden's chair for her, and she found a pleased smile creeping onto her face despite her best efforts to not appear overly interested.

She pulled herself together and moved her lips downwards slightly before too much time had passed. "It almost seems as you've had practice with this," she commented. She didn't really mean anything by it; she was joking. To show that she wasn't a b*tchy cynic, though, she provided a small grin.

Shayden hoped that she wasn't making any mistakes. Really, she just wanted to enjoy herself. It had been months since she had been on a date. This was the fist time she was on a blind date. She didn't want to screw things up. By nature, Shayden was a perfectionist. And she wanted her night to be perfect. Was it really too much to ask? Her parents were so overbearing, and she sometimes felt like pulling her hair out, despite the fact that she was normally calm. She just was hoping for a few good hours. And maybe a second date, but she could worry about that later.

Adam sat across from Shayden as she fished for a topic. Looking down at the menu, she asked, "Any recommendations? I can't remember the last time I've been here." It was true. She vaguely recalled sitting in this restaurant, but she couldn't have even told you what type of food they served if she hadn't had her eyes on the menu.

She glanced up for answer and once again found herself staring into Adam's eyes. They really were gorgeous. Self-conscientiously, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Was she pretty? People always told her she was, but they could just be polite, or maybe trying to get into her parents good books by complimenting her. Which really was ridiculous, but the Agatu's sometimes seemed to bring that quality out in people.

Shayden brought herself back to reality as she realized she had probably been staring off into space for too long. Judging by Adam's look, she hadn't heard something he'd said. A little embarrassed, cheeks a bit pink, she apologized. "I'm really sorry, but I think I missed what you just said. It's been a long day."

ooc: I'm sorry it's taken so long!!! I know you had ideas for this thread, and I haven't been on at all. I was really sick, and then I had a TON of schoolwork to catch up on. Not fun, at all.
