Ellerie's POV
"What do you guys want!" I laughed when we got inside.

"Explain this!" Ryland said pointing to my lip area. My face immediately heated up. I turned to the mirror. My lips were red and swollen and there was a little bruise on my bottom lip. There was also a small cut with a little blood on the top corner. I put my hand over my mouth and turned to the girls.

"We all know it was Luke so might as well tell us now." Hadley laughed from on top of the island.

"Ok yeah." I smiled.

"And not to mention the clothes that are eighty sized to big." Mari said pulling at the oversized sweats.

Ok so to clarify Luke is going to be italics and Ellerie is going to be normal text.

"Ok so we were in my room."

"And I was just looking into her eyes ya know?"

"Then he started to lean in."

"And she grabbed my hair."

"So he pulled me closer."

"And she gave in."

"He put one hand on my waist."

"And the other on her ass if you know what I mean."

"Then he pushed me against the wall."

"And we just started to slow down."

Ellerie's POV
"Oh my gosh!" Most of the girls squealed.

"I can not believe you guys made out!" Carter said in disbelief.

"And sober too." Ryland gushed.

"And he's so hot!" Feesa said smiling.

"And your so pretty." Mari complemented.

"You guys will be like the hottest couple when we go back to school." Laylah giggled.

"I really like him." I smiled at my hands. "Like he's really sweet and caring and funny and I don't know he's just the best."

"Oh my gosh!" Ryland said. "I think Elle might be in love!"

Luke's POV
"Yessir Dukes!" Sasha said going to give me a high five.

"You made out with the schools hot girl!" Ethan said rocking me back and forth.

"Yup." I said my cheeks turning red.

"But common dude you like her right?" Tyler asked getting the boys to calm down.

"I mean yeah of course who doesn't right?" I laughed.

"No but like you looooveee her!" Sasha said wrapping his arms around me.

"Get off me Pastujov!" I chuckled "and yes I like her like like her."

"I'm satisfied with this response." Jake said looking at the boys.

"Same here." Others answered.

"Be good to her man." Tyler said patting my shoulder as the boys dispersed and the girls came out.

We all sat back down around the campfire. Ellie came back to me and sat on my lap giving me a hug.

"Our friends are crazy you know that?" She said giggling.

"Yes I know." I laughed along.

"Elle come make this TikTok!" Ryland said setting her phone up. The two of them started dancing and I went on snap to take a picture.

Where are the wild things??
I put that picture on my story and just left it. I knew the boys and my brothers would swipe up but I honestly don't care.

Someone put Colt 45 on the speakers and everyone started dancing around the fire pit. I honestly am so glad to be friends with these people and be able to share these times with them.

It was almost 2 in the morning and we were all getting tired so everyone started heading inside slowly. Ellie was sitting in my lap and I think she was asleep. I sat outside for almost 30 minutes until I decided to bring her inside. I carried her bridal style up into her bedroom. I gently put her down careful not to wake her up. Once I had her tucked in her bed I went to my suitcase and I changed into a pair of shorts. I heard giggling behind me so I turned around.

"You have a cute butt." Ellie said in a sleepy voice.

"No that's all you." I smiled back at her. "But you should get some sleep."

"Ok." She said going to sit up. I turned for the door. "Where are you going?"

"To the couch." I said softly making sure it didn't sound like I wanted to leave her.

"Just stay here." She said patting the bed next to her.

"Alrighty Ellie." I smiled. I climbed in bed next to her and she put her head on my chest. I didn't have a shirt on and she was just tracing shapes on my stomach. She started tracing my abs and I just laughed.

"What?" She giggled looking up at me.

"It tickles!" I laughed while she continued.

"Awe Lu is ticklish." She said as she started to tickle me. I began to laugh trying to be quiet because all of our friends are asleep. She finally stopped and looked up at me.

"What?" I asked her.

"Your really good looking Lu." She smiled. "And your really sweet and caring and I love that about you." She said laying her head on me.

"Well Ellie, I think you are absolutely beautiful. I've always thought you are the nicest most genuine person I've ever met." I said putting my arms around her. "And ever since you were gone for the summer I realized just how much I missed you. I missed your laugh and just seeing you walk into my house with all the girls. And I realized my feelings for you. I realized that I really liked you, I had just been hiding it from myself."

"Lu I've liked you since I moved here in eighth grade." She said hugging me tighter. "I honestly didn't know you felt the same."

"Well I do and I'm glad we know it now." I said leaning down to kiss her on the head.

"Me too Lu." She smiled up at me.

"Ellie this talk has me thinking." I said getting nervous. "We both like each other so I was wondering if you would be my girlfriend?"

She sat up smiling and looked right in my eyes. "Nothing would make me happier."

"Then it's official?" I asked her.

"It's official." She said going to kiss me.
