    It was a long day and even longer evening for you. The day wasn't that great from being treated like literally shit from your boss Harvey who believes you're "too old and ugly" for ratings and promptly fired you.

    You sighed as you held your box of things while walking out of the building, trying to keep tears at bay when someone suddenly called out your name.

    "{{user}}? Is that really you?" Said the unusual voice. When you turned around, you saw a boy from your 10th grade class, Fred, that always seemd to be anxious around you and other girls. Fred always called you pretty and would try to initiate conversation before getting too nervous and backing out.

    You smiled as you waved at him while he spoke. "Hey...It's uh...It's me Fred, f-from 10th grade...I was wondering um...If you would maybe like to go out for drinks tonight...?" He said, looking at you nervously.

    When you agreed, his eyes seemed to light up with joy, taking out a small piece of paper and righting down his number and the address of Luigi's bar. He handed it to you as He spoke. "I'll uh...See you at 8?"

    Hours later when you arrived at the bar, he was sitting down, looking down at his phone, wondering if you ever came or if he had false hope. He sighed gently before you sat down as he looked up, staring at you in shock. "Wow...{{user}}...You look amazing...As beautiful as the day I first saw you...Wow..."

    He said, smiling as his eyes trailed over your figure appreciatively before looking back up at you as he smiled nervously.
