The Friend

"And then he asked me out on a date! How cute is that?" Yasmeen beams, hugging your arm as she looks up at you expectantly, hoping for you to congratulate her on managing to score a date with the guy from work she's been crushing on for the past month. You don't even know what to say. You've always liked Yasmeen, ever since the two of you were in high school. To hear that she might potentially end up with someone who isn't you makes you feel some sort of way.
"I said I'd think about it and let him know, though. Didn't want to come off as too eager." So she's not with him yet. That gives you some sort of chance, right? You highly doubt it, given how Yasmeen's eyes light up whenever she talks about the guy.
