Go into town

You need to buy a couple things, so you plan to go into the mall in the center of town for the day. You grab your tennis shoes, a hat, and your wallet from your dorm, and then you start walking to the main street.

While walking through campus, Amy spots you as she's going for her morning walk. She waves you down, and you stop, waiting for her to come up and meet you.

"Hey, Cody", she says, flashing you a smile. "What are you up to?"

"Oh, I'm just heading into town", you respond.

"Cool! I'll come with you!" she says.

Well, it looks like you have a date now.

"So, it doesn't seem that Mrs. Adams was all that happy about you moving about in the stands, talking to people", she says, making conversation.

"Oh well", you wave it off. "It was worth it to spend time with you".

She blushes a little bit at that, and you see a notification appear in the corner of your vision again. It says:

Congratulations! You have just unlocked a new relationship bar with Amy!

"What the heck?" you think to yourself. "A new relationship bar? What does that even mean? Was it one of those other grayed-out bars? Why won't it just tell me what it means? It's not like I can just check my phone during this conversation I'm having".

Amy talks you out of your thoughts once again, saying "So, I saw you getting real chummy with Summer earlier. What's that all about, you finally lookin' to get yourself a girlfriend?"

"Nah, Summer and I are just friends", you say. The "for now" is left out, since you want to get together with Amy first.

"Oh, c'mon, you and Summer would be great together", she says, pressing further. "I can tell she likes you too".

"Summer and I barely know each other," you defend yourself with. "And even if I was trying to date her, it's not like I would right this second. I just started talking to her today".

"So what? People get together in a day all the time", Amy says as you both step out into the city.

You decide to get a little bold and say, "Plus, why would I go after Summer when I have you right here? You don't have a boyfriend still."

Amy's face turns red again, and not because she's getting sunburnt. You mentally slap yourself for what you just did. You may've jeopardized your years of friendship just to continue making quips.

"Guess we'll just have to tie the knot and get married then", Amy retorts.

You both reach a crosswalk, and you take that opportunity to check your phone.

Pearson, Amy
