You lean on the table next to Zac, notepad and pen in hand. As you scribble down your phone number, you say, "Um, if you guys wanna hook up sometime, you know, maybe we could just go to a movie or something." You tear out the piece of paper and hand it to him. "Here's my number. You can call me if you wanna get together."

He grins. "Cool, I will... is tomorrow clear for you? I have a feeling our parents are gonna be spending some time together, and maybe we could work something out then."

"Yeah, I'm free tomorrow," you answer.

"No hot dates?" he inquires with a laugh.

You giggle and wink at him. "None that I can't reschedule for you!"

"Alright, I'll call you in the morning then," he promises through his laughter. "If I wake you up... too bad."

You tug his ponytail playfully. "Alright, well I gotta go. See ya."

"Later cutie," he responds with a smile.

You walk out the door with a big smile on your face, pleasantly surprised by your Zac encounter.

The next morning...
