( Alex's P.O.V. )
One thing I liked about Mitchie is that she already knows my schedule. I don't even know my schedule as well as her. And she's so pretty. So so so pretty.
I let my thoughts run wild over the thought of her as I sat there at my desk in some history class that I still don't know the name of. "Miss Russo." The balding middle aged professor called out, snapping my out of my amazing Mitch filled day dreams. I straightened my back up quickly and dropped my hands from under my chin to my side, wiping the tiny amount of drool from the corner of my mouth. I must have looked ridiculous to the people around me, being all dreamy eyed and drooling. "Can you please tell us what Black Tuesday is."
"shit, black Tuesday, black Tuesday. What the fuck is black Tuesday." I mumbled to myself.
"Miss Russo do you have an answer?" I hate this guy he's such a snobby kind of person. The type of guy that thinks he's better than everyone just because he's some big shot professor.
"um.. the day after Thanksgiving?" I guessed and chuckles spread throughout the room. I think I guessed wrong.
He pulled his glasses out of his pocket and placed them on his face. "Ah, I see we have a class clown." He said giving his glasses a push with his index finger up the bridge of his nose. "know this Miss Russo, I will not tolerate any nuisances."
"drama queen."
"What was that?"
Shit. "nothing."
"hmm.. lets keep it that way." He turned around to get a book off his desk. I mouthed drama queen and sure enough the people that saw were in hysterics, trying desperately to suppress their laughter when the professor turned back around. " As I was saying.. The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations, but in most countries it started in about 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s or early 1940s. It was the longest, most widespread, and deepest depression of the 20th century.." blah blah blah. This is what he disturbed my day dream for?

What am I going to wear. Nothing looks good enough. I dug through my whole closet and found nothing suitable for the five star restaurant Alex wants to take me to. I have a few dresses but, I want to be able to wow Alex and I don't think anything in here will get me the reaction I'm looking for. I think I need to go shopping.
Or at least thought I needed to. I saw something in the back of my closet. A small, tight, black dress. Its perfect. Now let's see if I can find my matching heels.

Class is almost over. I didn't pack any dresses or skirts with me when I came out here. Waverly is about a two hour drive away. Its one pm now so I could get there by three, leave by four and be back by six. I know the perfect dress to. Tonight is going to be amazing.
( Micthie's P.O.V. )
I tried my dress on and found out there was a huge tear through the side. So now I'm shopping around the mall to find another. I've been in and out of a ton of stores, but I haven't found anything I want.
"Can I help you find anything?" a woman's voice came ringing from behind me. I pivoted to face her. she was a blonde probably in her late 20's.
"Actually, yes. I have a date tonight and I'm looking for a dress and some heels."
She smiled. "Lucky man, any particular kind or color?"
Man? I let out a nervous laugh. " ha ha yea.. um I was going to wear black but now I'm thinking green." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck.
( Alex's P.O.V. )
"Ah ha! Found it!" I yelled out to let my mom know I found what I came here for. I loved this dress, my mom bought it for me a while back but I never had an occasion that I wanted to wear it to. This was a big night for me so I wanted this to be the dress I wore.
"Ok that's good sweetie!" I heard my mom shout back.
I rushed to the bathroom and took a shower. I got out and the bathroom was filled with steam. I wiped off the mirror and took a deep breath.
I applied all my make-up and curled my hair, finally slipped on my short cut white dress that was equipped with sleeves and showed off my shoulders. I went and grabbed my mom's small white purse that matched perfectly and stormed down stairs. "Oh honey you look so beautiful!" my mom was squealing with joy, I never got this dressed up for anything. She ran over to hug me but I put my arms out to stop her.
"Mom! Do you know how long this took?"
"ok, ok fine I won't hug you, but this girl must be really special to have you get all dressed up like this." I could tell she was happy to see me actually care about something.
I couldn't hold back the dorky smile that made its way to my face. "yea, I really like her." I saw the clock behind her and it was nearing four. "Mom I have to go if I'm gonna make it on time." As I made a dash for the door I heard my mom yell at me to be safe. Like I wouldn't be?
My luck has just taken a turn for the worst. Odds are I'm about 28 miles from where I need to be and its already six and here I am stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire. I could call a tow truck service to come out here and fix it but that would take too long and it would cost me money. Then there's option two, I could take my dress off and attempt to change my tire in my bra and underwear, which happens to be a thong. Why would I do that, well it would be quicker and I wouldn't spend any money and I could keep my dress clean my taking it off.
So I took it off. I know I have a jack somewhere in my trunk. There it is. I tried to get down on the ground but it was too hard to do in my heels so I had to take them off and place them in the car with my dress. I was receiving a lot of honks as people drove by and a few yells out of windows. No one stopped and pulled over though which surprised the hell out of me. I mean I'd stop if there was a hot girl in her bra and underwear changing a tire, I might not help but I'd still stop and watch.

I've been here since 6:50 and it's 7:20 now. I'm starting to think Alex stood me up. Ive been sitting on this bench for a while. Maybe I should call her. I dug for my phone in my purse and dialed Alex's number.
I listened to the ringing, not getting an answer. But I could hear someone else's phone ringing in the distance. Oh yea a shooting star, and I might drive myself insane if those lips aren't speaking my name. cause I got some into-
"hello"
"Alex?"
"yea? You called?"
" oh um, yea.. where are you?"
"well if you look to your left, you should your dashingly charming date approaching you."
It was her and she wasn't standing me up, thankfully… she just had dirt on her face ..and legs.. what the hell had she been up to? I hung up and ran over to her. "what happened to you.. I mean you look gorgeous but you've got dirt on your legs and face."
She brought her hand up to her face. "I do? Man I thought I got it all off." She scanned my body with her eyes stopping and lingering in certain places and it made me grin. "..wow …wow." Her slow speech made me chuckle, I got the reaction I wanted and that made me happy. She had a serious stare going on my chest, and to be honest I was really enjoying the view of her perfect legs. .. She regained her composer before me, so I guess I was staring at her legs for a while. "let's go eat dinner and I'll explain everything. I'm really sorry I was late." With that she took my hand in hers and led me into the restaurant. I love the warmth of her touch.
