first date
April 25 was perfect, it was a little windy, but the sun was still out and the birds were having the time of their lives chirping along in the skies. Lucien finally got the courage to ask his crush on a date. It was nothing grand, just a simple picnic at a park, getting to know each other and stuff…
In truth, he didn’t plan anything for his first date. Could you blame him? Lucien was a hopeless romantic; he never thought he would get this far with anyone. It was kind of scary for him, he barely knew the guy! They talked to each other a few times during their classes but they never actually spent time together.
Their date started at 4:30 pm and time was going so unbelievably slow, every minute felt like an eternity. He set the date on a Sunday so that both of them didn't have to worry about classes. Lucien spent the whole night picking snacks, blankets, and activities for the picnic to distract his nerves. Finally, after a long and warm shower, he stood in front of his closet wondering what to wear for this wonderful occasion. He took his favorite lilac hoodie that had daisies sowed into the sleeves and tossed it on the bed along with some tight-fitted, black ripped jeans. He sat on the carpet in front of his bed for a solid minute questioning if it would be okay to go on a date in a hoodie.
He heard the house alarm beep as his younger sister came home from her tutoring session and he got an idea. He called out to his sister with a whiny tone, almost begging her for fashion help. Alis, his sister, walked into his room and threw her heavy backpack at him saying she’ll only help if he does her weekend homework. Without waiting for an answer, she started taking clothes out of the closet, discarding his shirts into a pile on the floor, looking for something good. Lucien knew that it would take a while. His sister loved to pick clothes inspired by the weather, the situation, and feelings. It's what made her so great with fashion.
To speed up the wait, he walked into the bathroom to touch up his fading strawberry hair. In his school, there was an annoying rule on dyed hair, therefore, he challenged the school system and grew out his hair to be a little longer than chin-length, got an undercut, and dyed that part, that way it could only be seen when he pulled up his hair.
After a few minutes of his sister pairing clothes and matching colors, she popped her head in to tell him she was done picking. She showed the three options spread on...
