I was set up, told that I would initially meeting with my friends here, but as soon as I sat down I got a text telling me it was actually a blind date they set up for me because my dating life was too "bland" and I had to "spice it up" a little.

Bastards.

I look over at the smiley girl across from me, scanning the menu for drinks. "I might get apple juice." She said to herself, putting the menu down to look at me.

"So. Are you from here?" She asks, resting her head in her hand.

"No. I was born and raised in Asia." I say, giving the menu a look.

"Oh, really? Which part?" She raises another question. I don't really want to be here but I may as well try to make her night at least decent.

"Vietnam."

"Ohh, so you're Vietnamese! Cool! I'm actually from Delaware." She says, a sweet smile on her face.

"No, I'm actually just Asian." I say sarcastically, looking around for the waiter to get our orders. The restaurant wasn't even that crowded.

"Really?"

"No. I'm Vietnamese."

"Okay now you're confusing me." She furrows her eyebrows, a confused look on her face.

The rest of the date flies by and I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I actually liked it. Though, she did much of the talking.

I could tell that she was a cheerful, sweet, and clumsy girl by the way she spilled her drink on the ground but refused to let the worker clean it up, instead scrubbing the floor herself.

She was a bit like the sun. Bright and helpful.

I learn that her name is Opal, like the crystal.

Opal, the sun. I like it.

The date ended with me getting her number. I would definitely be calling her soon.
