Writing Prompt: Stood Up
Missed last weeks prompt, skipped to this week. May go back and do it for kicks.
Anyway, this week's was write 250 about getting stood up on a date. I went a little beyond and pushed it to 298. As a little extra, I decided to write it entirely in dialog; yeah, it's kinda close to what I did for the dictionary title, but that one has some non-dialog elements, so it doesn't count. This one does. So there.

“Soooo, come on. Tell me how the big D went down.”
“How it went, what are you, mental? What part of ‘she didn’t show up’ confused you, the ‘she’ or the ‘left me hangin’ at a hundred-dollar-a-plate-restaurant’?”
“Ouch, cold man. I’ll get the next round.”
“Damn straight you do.”
“… you just gonna mope about it?”
“I just got shafted like I was in a gay porn, what’dya want from me. Girl was freaking amazing too, I swear she was a model or somethin’.”
“Pfft, right, just like whatsherface you tried to sell me on a month ago.”
“Hey, screw you, she was cute once you got past the skin and the hair and the teeth, and b, you owed me. Second, this girl blew her out of the water. Short, cute hair, eyes this wild shade of green- I woulda asked her to marry me, swear to God.”
“Uh-huh. Too bad she didn’t show up.”
“Not even a text, man! What’s so hard about meeting up with a random guy you met in the checkout lane for dinner, at a classy, expensive joint no less? Shit nothing, that’s what.”
“So of course you stayed, ate something you couldn't afford, then came down here to bitch about it to me, right?”
“Well yeah, what else am I gonna do after the kind of night I just had? Go bowling?”
“Shit man, I haven’t been bowling in forever, you wanna go hit some pins after this last drink?”
“… Seriously?”
“What, you got somewhere better to be, oh wait, you don’t, cause you ugly.”
“Whatever. Fine, here’s to you, me, Friday night bowling and never seeing that stuck up bitch, Sasha Renshire, again.”
“Sasha Ren- hey, didn’t you kill her on Thursday?”
“You say that like it negates my point.”
