By the end of the week I still didn’t know what the hell to do. Cass called me up Saturday afternoon to ask me what time I was picking her up for our date.
“What date?”
“I set it up last weekend. Don’t you remember?”
“Uh, no. I’m not going.”
“Come on, Addi, you have to. Mom will kill me if you don’t go.”
I sighed and shook my head, knowing I’d do it, because it’s what I did. Gave in whenever someone asked for my help. “Fine. But I’m driving myself.”
That evening I arrived a little late so Cass would be there before me. She introduced me to Joel and her date, Tommy. Joel was cute with dark brown eyes and close cut hair that matched. His black sweater was just tight enough that I could drool over his muscles, but not so tight that I questioned his sexuality.
We all sat down and ordere
