"George...we are calling them dates but we aren't dating. Ugh it's all so confusing." Syd frowned, laying back on her bed as George sat in her desk chair.
"Syd, maybe you should just talk to him."
"But what if it messes things up. I just don't think I could handle losing him." George carefully moved over to take a seat next to help comfort her.
"Syd, maybe you're just overthinking but think on the bright side. You do have a good thing going with him and MCC teams are being announced in a few minutes."
"Yeah yeah. I hope I'm with people I'm acquainted with for my first MCC." She chuckled, walking over to start up her computer. As soon as she opened twitter she saw the notification.

"GEORGE WE ARE GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!" Syd yelled out with a soft chuckle.
"Dammit I wanted to be on a team with you." George chuckled. "Now how long before Clay calls you." Almost on cue, syd got the call. Syd chuckled, putting the phone to her ear.
"Hey clay."
"TEAM LIME LLAMAS!!" They both chuckled.
"You hear that George, team lime llamas." George flipped her off and she just rolled her eyes. "But I am extremely happy Scott put me on a team with people I know."
"I'm just happy I'm on a team with you. I would have enjoyed beating you but I'll be much happier winning with you." Clay smiled.
"You know what, in your own weird way Clay that was extremely sweet."
"Anything for you, hey are we still on for our date tonight?"
"Uh yeah sure. Can I maybe call you a little early? I wanna talk to you about something."
"Of course. I'll talk to you tonight."
"Bye clay."  She sighed, walking over to fall onto her bed. "George why am I scared."
"It's going to be okay. He wouldn't do anything that would hurt you.

"What could she want to talk to me about? What if she doesn't want to go on the dates anymore? What if she doesn't like me?" Clay began to worry, talking to Sapnap on discord. 
"Okay Dream I think you're overthinking here. You guys are inseparable." Sapnap assured him. "What if she just wants to make things official? You know, none of the other bullshit."
"Sapnap I don't know. Maybe I am just overthinking...why is dating so confusing?" Sapnap just laughed, Dream soon joined him.

Syd sat in her desk chair, waiting for clay to call her on discord. She hugged her knee, jumping slightly at the ringtone. She answered it with a smile. "Hey clay."
"Hi, you look beautiful as always." Syd blushed looking into her lap. "What did you want to talk about?"
"Oh uhm yeah...I just wanted to ask about-uh-about us?" She fumbled over her words, feeling extremely nervous.
"What do you wanna know?"
"Like what are we? Are we friends?"
"Of course we're friends." Clay let out a small chuckle.
"No clay— like are we dating? I mean we're calling these movie calls dates and when you were in the UK we had those moments I just need to know..." Syd looked into her lap, picking at her nails.
"Sydnie...I really like you, I do. I really want to be able to take you out on actual dates, be able to hold your hand. Wrap an arm around you while watching a silly movie about a cute rat." Syd laughed softly, a smile taking over her lips. "I would be extremely lucky if I was able to call you my girlfriend." They both laughed softly, wide smiles plastered on both of their faces.
"Then it seems to me that you're extremely lucky." Clay smiled, a chuckle leaving his lips.
"I guess this is our official first date."
"Yeah, it is." They smiled, the movie soon started.

The next morning, syd was training for mcc with her team. She was laughing and enjoying the moment when she received a notification. It was an email. She went silent "Syd? Is everything okay?"
"Big s?"
"Sydnie?"

Syd let out a loud squeal. "HOLY SHIT!! I gotta go guys. I'm so so sorry. I'll be back on later. I need to go to my parents." She quickly logged off without another word and grabbed her keys to drive to her parents house.
