Kiefer 's POV
This is not a date.
I repeated that to myself for the tenth time while staring at my wardrobe.
"Just a friendly outing," I muttered.
I picked up a black shirt.
Too serious. I look like I'm going for a job interview.
I threw it on the bed.
REJECTED!!!
Next — white shirt.
I wore it. Looked in the mirror.
"...Why do I look like I'm about to propose?"
REJECTED.
Blue hoodie.
Comfortable. Safe.
I wore it.
Then stared.
"...No. This looks like I came to eat roadside momos, not to meet Jay ."
REJECTED!!
I changed again.
Grey shirt.
Too plain.
Denim jacket.
Too try-hard.
Orange shirt...
"Great. Now I look like I'm here to formally ask her father for Jay's hand in marriage."😭😭
I ran both hands through my hair.
"WHY IS CLOTHING SO COMPLICATED?"😭😭
After ten more minutes of suffering, I did what any desperate man would do.
I opened Section E group chat.( Disclaimer worst dicision ever !!)
Section E – Group Chat
Kiefer:Guys.
Rory: Breaking news. He spoke.😱😱
Yuri: Who died?😰
Ci-n: Is Jayden bullying you again?🤧
Kiefer: No. I need help.
Felix :SCREENSHOT THIS. HE SAID HELP.😫
Mayo : What happened?
I hesitated.
I am NOT telling them about the date.
Never. Never!!!!!
Kiefer: Hypothetically....
Kit:Oh no.
Calix : Whenever he says hypothetically, someone is in danger.🤧
Kiefer: If a person is meeting someone. Not important who. Just meeting. Casual meeting. Friendly meeting. Very normal meeting.
Ci-n:DATE.!!!😱😱
Kiefer: IT IS NOT A DATE!!!.
Edrix: DAMN !!!Who is she? Is she Jay Jay?? 😜😜
Kiefer: NO SHE. No Jay Jay ...😑
Josh:Then who?
Calix: Oh my god.
Ci-n:It's Jayden, isn't it?🤣🤣
Kiefer: I WILL LEAVE THIS GROUP.!!!!
Eman : Calm down, Romeo.😜
Yuri:What's the question ?
I took a deep breath.
Kiefer: What should I wear?
Chat exploded.
Rory: BLACK SHIRT.
Ci-n: WHITE SHIRT.
Yuri: Depends. Where are you going?
Kiefer: Just... café.
Felix: DATE.
Kiefer :NOT A DATE.
Ci-n:Wear something that says: "I didn't try but I still look good."😘
Yuri: Blue shirt + jeans.
Josh: No perfume. Otherwise you'll look desperate.
Edrix: Actually wear perfume. Otherwise you'll smell like Section E classroom.
Mayo: Do your hair.
Kit : And don't talk too much.
Calix: And don't mention Jayden.😂😂
Eman: And don't panic.
Yuri :And don't confess accidentally.
Kiefer :WHY DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A DATE GUIDE?!
All: Because it is. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I muted the group.
TRAITORS!!!!!.
After trying everything again, I finally settled on a light blue shirt and white jeans.
Simple.Clean.Normal.
I looked in the mirror.
"...Okay. This doesn't scream desperation."
I checked my hair.
Then checked again.
Then checked from another angle.
Then—
PING
Section E.
I opened it.
Rory: Update: He's been offline for 7 minutes. He's definitely getting ready.
Ci-n: Someone send prayers.
Yuri: May he survive his "not a date."
I closed the chat immediately.
I hate them.!!!!!!!
Jay's POV
After the call with Keifer, I couldn't stop smiling.
He had spent half an hour complaining to me about Jayden.
Which was me.
I laughed, rolling on my bed.
"Poor Keifer... suffering because of me and reporting to me."😭🤣🤣
But then the word hit my mind again.
Date.With Keifer.As Jay.
I jumped up and ran to my cupboard.
"This is not a drill."
I pulled out clothes one by one.
Too fancy- looks like a real date.
Too plain- looks like I don't care.
Too cute -looks like I tried too hard.
Too desperate.- ugh !!!! I don't have anything to wear!!😭😭😭
I finally held a soft pastel top and jeans.
"Okay... this says 'childhood friend who totally didn't think about you for ten years but maybe did'."
But still...it didn't match the vibe i want!!
Then my smile slowly faded.
Freya.Section E.Calix. Mica.
If Freya spread the rumor tomorrow everything would fall apart.
I sighed.
"So tomorrow I have a date... and a crisis to handle."
Great.
Perfect.
Love my life.
Then my phone buzzed.
Section E group chat.I opened it.
Section E group
I started reading all the messages, and I was literally dying with laughter. Lol. Kiefer was trying so hard just to survive in the middle of Section E's chaos. Poor guy deserved a bravery award at this point.
Then I saw the final decision.
Light blue shirt.
I froze.
Light... blue?
That's great.
Wait.
That's... really great.
Before my brain could calm down, my legs had already carried me to my wardrobe. I started searching like my life depended on it. Clothes were flying left and right. At this point, my wardrobe probably thought I had declared war on it.
After nearly one full hour of searching, throwing, rejecting, and dramatic sighing...
I finally found it.
A beautiful light blue dress and white skirt.
I held it up and stared at it for a few seconds.
Perfect.
Then my brain whispered—
Wait... does this mean we're wearing matching colors?
I blinked.
No. No. Calm down, Jay. This is just a coincidence.
...Right?
But still...I hugged the dress to my chest and grinned.
Okay... maybe this "friendly date" was going to be a little more special than I thought.
Suddenly section E group buzzed with messages again..
Ci-n: I bet... keifer is already mentally writing wedding vows.
Yuri: Also he changed outfits at least 20 times.
I covered my mouth to stop laughing.
Poor Kiefer.🤣🤣🤣
Keifer's POV (Next morning )
I woke up at 6:12 AM.
The meeting was at 11.
I stared at the ceiling.
Why am I awake?
I closed my eyes.
Opened them again.
6:14 AM.
Great.
My brain had already started.
What if I say something stupid?
What if she changed?
What if I trip while walking?
I sat up.
"Okay. Calm down. It's just Jay."
Pause.
"...Jay after ten years."
I immediately got out of bed.
I checked my clothes again.
At 8:30 AM
Blue shirt.
Good.
Then I checked again.
Still good.
Then again.
Still... shirt.
I went to the mirror.
Practiced smiling.
Too wide. Psycho.Half smile.
Less teeth. Sad.
"...Why do I look like a passport photo?"😭😭
I tried again.
Then my phone buzzed.
Section E group chat.
Rory:Update: Is Romeo alive?
Yuri: What time is the "not date"?
Ci-n:Prediction: He hasn't slept.
Kiefer: I slept.
Mayo:Liar.
Calix: Send outfit photo.
Kiefer: NO.
Kit:He's definitely wearing blue.
I froze.
How do they know everything?
I muted the group.
Jay's POV – Morning
I woke up late.
Very late.
10:02 AM.
I stared at the clock.
Then screamed.
"OH NO."
The meeting was at 11.
I jumped out of bed, almost tripping over my blanket.
Why didn't I wake up earlier?
Why didn't I set an alarm?
Why am I like this?
I ran to the wardrobe and picked the blue dress that I had chosen last night after fighting with myself for nearly an hour.
Within just thirty minutes, I was ready. I let my hair fall loosely over my shoulders, applied a little lip gloss, and wore a simple bracelet.
Okay... perfect. Not too much, but cute enough.
The dress said, "I didn't try... but I'm still pretty."
Finally, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My heart fluttered.
Umm... I looked like Kiefer's Jay.❤️❤️
After looking at the mirror for the last time I finally went out for my not so official first date with keifer!
