First you texted Blake asking if he was available tonight. When he responded saying that he was free, you went to Danielle said that you couldn't go with her to the club. Then you went back to Blake.
"how old are you?" you sent to him.
"19"
"got a fake id?"
"yea"
That settled it. You had a good idea of where you wanted to go.

AJ's Bar was the place to go on campus when people just wanted have a place to relax and have a drink rather than party. You and Blake ordered your drinks at the bar and played a game of pool amidst the chatter of the other patrons and the blaring of a baseball game being shown on television. You talked about many things as your game progressed and found out quite a bit about Blake. He was born in Ohio close to Lake Erie where he would go swimming all the time. He had a family of five, two sisters and parents that were separated. He was a freshman at Fuseli University and was planning on majoring in engineering. You revealed a little about your own personal life.
Blake managed to beat you three times in a row at the pool table. When the two of you decided that you had had enough, you both left AJ's and took a walk in Hopkirk Park. It was pretty well-lit at night and had a large field of grass to sit down in. All around you were other students looking for a quiet reprieve from the city.
"This is weird," you suddenly say.
"What is?"
"I'm not even human at all, and yet here I am living a pretty normal life. And you know that I'm not human but you're still treating me like one."
Blake smiled. "It's not a big deal. I used to try to befriend the demons I evoked, you know. But then they'd just get irritated when I didn't have anything important that I wanted them to do." He noticed that you were staring at him and laughed. "Okay, I know, that sounds pathetic." Then he attempted to change the subject. "You said you can go into people's dreams, right?"
Uh oh, you know where this was going. "Yeah," you said.
"And you can influence them?"
"Yeah."
"Funny, I think I had a dream about you last night."
