An interrupted date

"Lyra? Lyra!"

I looked at the guy in front of me. He was someone that my bestie Rhea set me up with. Honestly I don't want to date anyone but the free food is too hard to pass on. I sipped at my drink and bit into my burger.

"Dude I'm sorry but can't we just be friends? Why do all the guys that my friends set me up with want to date me?"

The guy in front of me spit out his drink as he started laughing. I looked at him in shock. What the fuck was he laughing at? Is he some sort of weirdo? I looked at the fast food restaurant around me. Families and dates sat on the many tables surrounding us. Maybe I should book it. I started to stand up but then the guy in front of me put his hand on mine.

"Lyra please wait. I'm not here for a date. I'm gay after all."

I blushed as shame filled me. Holy shit I feel like an ass for treating this guy this way. I sighed and sat down. Why don't we try enjoying this. I have a large group of so called "friends" but I've never been really close to anyone. I have too many responsibilities after all. Maybe it won't be so bad.

Ten minutes later I was spitting my soda out from how much I was laughing. This guy was hilarious! His name is Yale and he's a high school senior like me. He attends the high school up the hill from us. He's applied to the Ivy Leagues as I have. His outlook on life is that of "if it doesn't work then fuck it". We have similar tastes in what we watch and eat. He has celebrity-level looks with his perfect styled black hair, stylish clothes, and emerald eyes.

He's known my bestie since their childhood and lately she's been talking to him about me. That's why we are meeting. I'm glad to have met him.

Suddenly I felt a chill down my neck. I turned to see a figure watch me and Yale.

"What's wrong Lyra?"

The figure wouldn't stop looking at us and for some reason I felt like it was someone familiar.

"Oh no nothing is wrong Yale!"

Yale then continued to talk to me about hilarious stories from his high school. Despite laughing I still felt unsettled. I turned once more and found the figure right next to me.

"Holy fuck!"

The families around stared at me as I screamed that out. Oh shit.

The person who was watching me was Kaden. I slapped my forehead. Ugh. All we did was kiss yesterday, why is he pissing me off now?

Kaden then put his arms around my neck as he looked at Yale.

"Oh Lyra are you cheating on me?"

I turned to look at Kaden. This motherfucker-

"No sir, this is my new friend Lyra. My name is Yale, nice to meet you."

I looked at Yale with appreciation. He was an angel! Kaden pulled away and shook Yale's hand. Kaden then looked at me with a smirk. He wasn't wearing a baseball hat so now he looked even more hotter than usual. I turned my flushed face.

I need to get the hell away from this weird ass bitch. And quickly.
