The alarm clock numbers changed again "4:31". The first time Ariana had looked at it that night, it had marked "3:56". She had tried to fall asleep again, but she only tossed and turned until the sheets came out and she had to get out of bed to redo it.
Ariana was nervous, and she knew it. It had taken her hours to fall asleep, and she had slept terribly. And for a very silly reason, but also a very important one, she was seeing Andy that day. She had liked him for a very long time, but she never dared to ask him to go out. It was true, they talked a lot, but it was only talking. Andy had been the one who asked her out, telling her he thought they needed some time alone. Ariana accepted immediately, but as the date approached, doubts sprang. Would she be able to handle it? She was sure she would screw up so badly, he would never want to see her again. She should have said no. All those thoughts had sprinted through her mind for days, and they were bouncing around during that early morning.
Giving up, she finally left the bed and headed to the kitchen. She was so nervous that she knew she wouldn't be able to have breakfast, but she needed to do something, anyway.
Ariana's day passed slowly, as she kept glancing towards the clock all the time. She almost picked up the phone twice to cancel the date. Yet, she really wanted to see him. Finally, the time came. Ariana was shaking, wondering whether he would show up or not. Her fears were swept out when she was him standing where they had agreed, smiling at her.
