"What happened during your date?" asked Seraphina.
"So.. it went well. We arrived at Apple Garden, and got food. She got cold, so I gave her my jacket. She never checked her phone during the date, and seemed interested in me and what I talked about. We shared a slice of cheesecake, and it was really good. Her phone beeped, a louder beep than before. When she checked her phone, her face got as white as a ghost. She suddenly jumped up, out of her seat, and ran to the bathroom. Five minutes later, she came back. She said that she had fun, but had to go. I don't know what happened." explained Mason, fast and worried.
"Uhm… so.. It went well. She got a notification, rushed to the bathroom, then said she had to go?" asked Seraphina, trying to comprehend what Mason just said.
"Yeah." said Mason, worried.
"Seems like you got stood up." said Denver.
"But she showed up, and seemed like she was having a good time!" complained Mason, confused.
"Okay. I’ll talk to Dinova. Mason, don’t say anything to her unless she texts you. Wait until Monday to talk to her." explained Seraphina.
"Alright." said Mason, calming down.
"Denver, can you go get some boba tea?" asked Seraphina.
"Sure. I’ll be right back." said Denver, glad to leave the situation.
"Same boba’s as before!" yelled Mason as Denver left his house.

"So.. did things actually go ‘well’?" asked Seraphina, who was worried for her friend.
"Yeah. Or, at least that’s what I thought." said Mason.
"Hmmm… I’ll text Dinova, asking how she has been. I haven’t talked to her in forever!" said Seraphina, as she pulled out her phone and sent a message to Dinova.
"How was the game?" asked Mason, trying to get the topic off of his love life.
"It was good. The team of Hearts won." explained Seraphina.
"Did Carl do good as king? I know he isn’t the best leader, but he seems to be getting better." asked Mason.
"Actually, Denver is the king now." said Seraphina.
"Wait, really?" asked Mason, very surprised.
"Yep." said Seraphina.
"Yay!" exclaimed Mason.
"Rae was not very happy about it." said Seraphina.
"Hah. It’s what she deserves." exclaimed Mason, who was very happy for Denver.
"Yeah, I guess…" said Seraphina as her thoughts started to wander.
"You alright?" asked Mason.
"Huh? Me? Oh, yeah... I’m fine. Just thinking about… things." said Seraphina.
"Okay… let me know if you need to talk about anything." said Mason, who was worried for his friend.
"Thanks. You do the same." said Seraphina as her phone beeped.

Seraphina: Hey! I haven’t talked to you in forever! How have you been?
Dinova: Eh… not the best. How have you been?
Seraphina: I’ve been pretty good. Is there anything you want to talk about?
Dinova: Are you free tomorrow?
Seraphina: Yeah
Dinova: Want to meet up somewhere?
Seraphina: Sure. Want to invite Delilah?
Dinova: Sure. Meet me at the mall around 12.
Seraphina: Kk. I’ll let Delilah know. See you tomorrow!
Dinova: See you tomorrow!

"What did she say?" asked Mason.
"I’m meeting up with her tomorrow around noon." explained Seraphina.
"Is Delilah going?" asked Mason.
"Probably." said Seraphina.
"Cool." said Mason.
"I’m back! I got a strawberry boba, a mango boba, and a blueberry boba!" yelled Denver as he walked into Mason's house
