all through her last class.
    She wasn’t sure if she should still go on the date with David (which she didn’t really want to go on anyway), but then again, Lucas seemed to make their date a friendlier venture. Perhaps he just wanted to get to know her so that he knew the girl his brother was dating.
    That didn’t seem incredibly likely, but she thought that made more sense than both the handsome brothers being interested in her. That didn’t seem possible. As she walked home, she couldn’t figure out.
    She reached for her door to unlock it when the tall hipster boy from the party the night before opened it.
    “Oh, hello,” the boy said. “You must be Sabrina.”
    “You must be the cute boy from Delia’s English class,” Sabrina responded, albeit a bit shocked herself.
    “That sounds like me. I’m Zach.”
    “Hello. Can I go into my apartment now?”
    “Oh yes, sorry. I was just leaving,” he blushed slightly, then called back inside. “Call me later, Delia.”
    “Okay!” Delia’s voice could be heard from upstairs.
    Sabrina sighed. At least Delia had her love life figured out, Sabrina thought. The apartment would probably be in chaos, if not.

 
     
    V.
     
    Delia voiced her opinion that Lucas’s date did seem friendlier (but most likely hoped for more), while David’s date got right to the point. She suggested going on both - most likely for the vindictive reason to destroy the two - in order to “make the correct decision on who to date.”
    Yet, Delia didn’t seem to actually care about the situation since she and Zach were constantly together. Their relationship was growing fast. Sabrina almost expected them to suddenly get engaged in a few months. It had only been a few days, and they were inseparable.
    Sabrina decided to go on the date with David in the prettiest blue dress she owned.
    She rarely wore it because it was too fancy for day-to-day wear, but she figured if she were going to a nice Italian place, it might be okay. She arrived at exactly seven, worrying that David wouldn’t be there. She waited outside, hoping he’d meet her there.
    She waited five minutes, then went inside to ask if the reservation had been placed and if he’d arrived. The hostess said he had not. Out of awkwardness, Sabrina waited outside for David to arrive. She waited another five minutes.
    Then another five. She decided she would leave after another five minutes, but as it came to the last minute, David came striding up.
    “You’re here!” he grinned. “I didn’t know if you would come.”
    “You are late,” she responded. “I was just about to leave.”
    “I’m sorry. I really thought you weren’t going to come.”
    She shrugged, “We should probably get to eating since you’re so late on the reservation.”
    “Oh, it’s okay. They know I’m always late here.”
    She decided not to ask why he was well known at the restaurant (or how many girls he’d taken there.) It didn’t really matter, in the scheme of things.
    The hostess greeted him by name and led them to a nice table near the back. Sabrina could see why David would bring multiple women here - the restaurant looked gorgeous.
    David ordered for them, and then sat with his head rested on his hands, just gazing at her. She wanted to say she didn’t like when other people ordered for her, and she didn’t appreciate him just staring at her, but he looked so handsome in the dim light that she couldn’t help but smile.
    It helped that he no longer made fat jokes about her and actually seemed quite kind. He was alarmingly charming. He’d even ordered her a delicious meal.
    “How was the dinner, despite me being so late?” David asked as they waited for the check.
    “It was quite good,” Sabrina responded. “Thank you for inviting me out.”
    “Thank you for giving me a chance after all my awful jokes.” He paid, then clapped his hands on the table. “Would you like to get some ice cream?”
    “No, I have some homework to do. I
