It was the night of the dance. All the girls got ready in Bethany's room. I put on my strapless red gown, with red stilettos. I got my hair styled in a side braided bun. Adelaine wore a simple teal peplum dress. Crissie wore a mini dress, with a white beaded bodice, and a pink mesh fabric on the bottom. Bethany wore a long sleeved green sparkly dress. Destiny wore an orange ¾ sleeved pencil dress. I was going to the dance with Leo. Chrissie went with Jacob. Bethany, Adelaine and Destiny went as a group. I danced with the girls for a bit. Then I danced with Leo.

"You came around, but know that I never slept with Bethany that night. The only time I ever slept with her was sophomore year. She took my virginity." Leo said.

"Don't ruin it, hottie." I kissed him. He smiled. We danced for a little while to the slow song.

"Want a drink?" He asked.

"I'll come with." I said, and we went to get some soda. The rest of the night flew by. We were driven home altogether by Jacob's chauffeur, that he hired for that night. I changed into pajama shorts, and a tank top. I went up the fire escape to Leo's room. He was already sleeping. I sprayed some whip cream on his face, and wrote in his arm, 'I love Mila.' I took a picture of him, and his arm. I forgot to turn the ringer off, which woke him up. He rubbed his face, then glared at me. There was whip cream smudged all over his mouth and cheek. I went to turn on the lights. He put his hand to block the light.

"You're an ass, Miller." He groaned. I licked the whip cream off his lips.

"Better?" I smiled. I rubbed the while cream off his face with my hand, and rubbed it on his shirt. I giggled.

"I did. Not anymore." He glared at me.

"I love you, too." I kissed him. "How about now, better?" He didn't answer, I kissed him, continuously. "Now? Why you sleeping so early?"

"No, I'm not better." He groaned, "It's 2am."

"Wake up, it's early. You usually sleep at like 5am." I said.

"I'm tired." He groaned.

"Come on, I need to go. I want some orange juice, and I don't have any, neither do you, so I'm going to go to the 24 hour store."

"You're so weird. Go get me one, though."

"No, you're coming with. You wouldn't want me getting kidnapped, would you? Or even raped. Come on, Leo!" I pounded on his chest. Then I slapped him, playfully.

"Fine, I'll go. Damn, girl. Hold your ass! One more kiss, before we go." He kissed me.

"But you're paying." I said, and kissed him. We made out for a few minutes before heading to the store. He bought me an orange juice, chips and salsa, and a donut. He got an orange juice for himself, as well. We went back to his room. I finished the donut, and started eating the chips.

"Don't get crumbs on my bed." He said, as he changed the shitt that I got whipped cream on.

"Why? Because it doesn't please the hoes?"

"Hahaha." He said, sarcastically. "Simone, I'm serious." He walked towards me, grabbed the chips and salsa, and put it on his desk. He wheeled the chair over to me. I sat in the chair, and he slid me next to his desk. He fixed his bed, and went to lie down. He fell asleep, while I finished the chips and salsa. I cleaned up, and drank my juice, drinking his as well. I'm being fat, I know. I'm hungry, don't judge! I washed my hands, and watched him sleep. It was 3:30am. I went on my phone for a few minutes, then I watched movies on his computer until 9:30am. He woke up, and washed up. He changed into gray joggers, and a dark blue t-shirt.

"Are you not tired, Miller?" He asked, as he rested his head on my right shoulder, standing behind me. I put my right hand on his right cheek, as I finished the last few seconds of my fourth movie.

"Not really. I want some coffee." I said, spinning the chair to face him. I yawned.

"Go sleep. You're tired. Did you really watch movies for 6 hours?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, and I watched you sleep. You sleep like a devil. I'm not tired, make me coffee!"

"Later, I'm tired. Come here." He pulled me to his bed. We sat up in his bed, against the wall . "Go to sleep, Simone." He put his arm around my shoulder. We both fell asleep for three hours. He was lying down in bed, awake, at 11:46am. I woke up and washed up. He went to make coffee, and breakfast. I went down to my room to change into a sleeveless white crop top, and black jeggings, with a black and red flannel tied around my waist. I put on black sneakers, straightened my hair, and put on a black beanie that said RECKLESS. I went back up to his room, where he was waiting, eating breakfast. I drank the cup of coffee, and ate some eggs. He finished the rest of the plate. I went to wash the dishes. Then we went out to take a walk outside. We walked to Jacob and Bethany's house. Bethany answered the door. She gave me a hug.

"Come in! My parents aren't home, but my little brother, Tommy is home. He's in Jacob's room, playing some video game, with Jacob. Ryder is in the living room, doing something. He's alone, and the tv is on like mute, I don't even know." Bethany shrugged, dragging me into the kitchen. Leo went to play video games with Jacob.

"I'll be right back, I need to use the restroom." Bethany said, slipping into the bathroom, next to the living room. I went across the hall, into the living room. Ryder was lying down on the couch, the tv was turned on, but on mute. I went up beside him, I put my hand on his cheek. He felt a warm. He looked at me.

"You sick?" I questioned, sitting on the floor.

"No." He closed his eyes for a little while. Bethany came in, and I told her to meet me upstairs. Ryder opened his eyes.

"What's up with you, Ryder?" I asked him.

"Nothing." He turns his head towards me.

"Go to sleep, I'm going to close the tv." I said. he nodded. I turned off the tv, and tucked the blanket around him.

"Call me if you need anything." I said, kissing him on the forehead.
