Relieved that RoboCat seemed to have forgiven her for trying to figure out who he was, Emily finally drifted off to sleep. When she woke up she saw the clock and freaked out because she was supposed to be meeting Justin and his crush for lunch in less than an hour.
She frantically put on makeup and straightened her curls before picking out a flowery cardigan and calling it good. Her doorbell rang as she was putting on her boots.
"Emily, it's Pizza Boy!" Amy called from the front door.
Justin's face was pink as he stammered out a hello. Once they were out the door he asked, "Pizza Boy?"
Now it was Emily's turn to be embarrassed. "Because of the apology pizzas."
"Ah."
The car ride to the macaroni place was mostly silent. Based on how his hands gripped the steering wheel, he was definitely nervous. Did he really not want her to meet his crush? Or was he nervous about seeing his crush, period?
