During the Date

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" The screams of the roller coaster gave Trish a start as it passed overhead. They blended into the background of noises on the boardwalk as she and Mark walked together. The date was. The date was fine. The Boardwalk was fine. Mark was fine. Despite having all the mannerisms, sexuality, and whatever else Amy had given him Trish still felt out of place. Apparently no amount of conditioning could make this an enjoyable situation for him.

'But why would it need to be enjoyable?' She thought to herself. 'I'm just doing this cause I made a mistake and felt bad for this kid. And he's not a bad guy, hell he's a good guy but I'm just not into this.'

"Are you OK?" Mark interrupted her thoughts.

"Hmmm? Yea no I'm fine." Trish responded quickly trying to put on on a smile.

"You just seem like your mind is elsewhere. I can take you home if you want." Mark offered.

'And this is what makes this so hard. He's a good kid.' Trish lamented. "I just kinda need to gooooooooo........" She started but as Mark's face fell so did her heart. "Toooo the bathroom! Yea! Be right back!" She said darting off towards the character with a skirt.

"Ohh! Ok I guess I'll wait here!" Mark called after her a smile returning to his face.

"UGHHHHHHH!!!! DAMN IT MARK!" She groaned to herself closing the door behind her and turning towards the bathroom mirror. "Why do you make it so hard to just stop this!" She looked up at the mirror and Trish stared back. The athletic hottie that she currently was. "You had an out Trish why didn't you take it. Now you're gonna lead him on and waste both our time. Hell he's gonna feel pathetic if you treat him like a pity case now. Get your head ri.......ght. That's it!" That's how she could salvage this whole thing! Just a little more of that boycrazy juice and she'll actually be all over this date. Before she could talk her way out of it Trish took a deep breath and gripped the sides of the sink. "OK Trish time to Man up!" She said taking a deep breath. Three should do the trick she guessed.

"Boycrazy! Boycrazy! Boycrazy!" She shouted as the dizziness started to take her. Ah hell just in case. "boycrazy" she squeked out as her head started to feel cloudy. She fiercely gripped the sides of the sink to steady herself and closed her eyes as the room felt like it was spinning around her. It felt like minutes had passed by before the room finally felt like it had stopped. She opened them with a start as she heard a flush and saw a middle-aged woman emerge from a stall.

"Geez sweety are you ok?" The woman questioned as she started washing her hands next to her.

"Ummm yea...." She whispered as she felt her face turning beet red.

"Don't worry hun. We were all boycrazy when we were your age. Some of us still are." She smiled leaving the bathroom as the now familiar feeling ran across her head.
