  Without a single word she ran into her room and shut the door quickly. Unsure of what to do I watched while Andie rushed after her. She opened the door and shut it quickly behind her leaving Sam and I alone in confusion and worry.

  Normal POV:

  I ran into my room to find quickly that Andie was following me. Her eyes were worried and the scared frown upon her face showed no different. I kept my head down this time covering my face with my hands.

"Oh god.." She mumbled, "Jordan."

I let my hands fall down to my lap as I raised my head slowly to get a look at her impatience and disappointment. My neck was now straight and I looked right at her with watery eyes and curved brows. Hardly noticeable, my concerned best friend let out a tiny gasp of pity.

The look on her face was almost priceless.. but oh it got better.

She knelt down to me and cupped my cheek with one hand as my lip quivered. When I opened my mouth I was only able to get out a shaky breath.

Man, I'm good at this. I thought.

I couldn't keep going and soon broke character, laughing quietly so the boys wouldn't hear. Andie's face dropped completely as she very clearly showed by her expression she wasn't very happy. Although, I sensed she was at least a little impressed. Hell, I was surprised I pulled that all off so well.

"What the hell!"

I quickly stopped myself and pulled her back down to shush her. My finger placed on her lips as a continued laughing she sat confused and upset.

Once I settled myself down I explained.

"Listen, okay the interview went amazing and.. I think I'm going to get this job." A confident smile set on my face.

Andie soon lit up with pride and completely dropped what had just happened before. Her eyes were shining while her mouth was wide open in a smile. I moved my finger from her lips not knowing what would happen next. Hardly within a blink I felt the feeling of a hand being held to both sides of my face and lips being pressed against mine to realize Andie had kissed me.

  I wasn't upset about it, I was surprised. Her and I would kiss each other from time to time for fun we just haven't done it in a while I kind of forgot it was something we did. I remember back in Kansas we would pretend to be a couple just to make homophobes uncomfortable. We'd hold hands, act all in love, we'd even make out occasionally. There was this one time we made some lady so uncomfortable she called the cops on us. Andie was actually scared because she thought we'd get arrested or something, but after I talked to the officer and explained the Karen's crazy behavior, she'd calmed down.

  Another thing, I was actually the one who helped her realize she was lesbian. When we were about 14 or 15 she came to me and told me how she's never kissed a girl and wanted to know what it was like. Me being the kind friend that I am, I offered to kiss her. Without hesitation she agreed and I leaned in which lead to us making out for a bit. From then on, she slowly began to realize she didn't like men, but did in fact love women.

Anyway, that's something for you but back to what was happening right now.

I closed my eyes and pulled away when she did. It was hardly passionate, more so joyful you could say. I stood up to soon be lifted off the ground and engulfed in a tight hug that took away my breath. Literally, I couldn't breathe.

  "Andie-" I gasped.

  She heard and I was quickly set back down releasing me from her strong grip.

  "Sorry." She chuckled.

  I smiled and hugged her once more, this time not crushing anybody's intestines. Moments went by of us standing in silence, enjoying one another's comfort Andie realized something.

  She pulled away and let out a gasp. "Wait you have to tell the boys!" She blurted.

  I instantly stopped her as she rushed to the door. I kept my firm grip to her wrist so she wouldn't try and run off again. Her brows furrowed at me which presented her confusion.

  "No, I want to play a little prank on them."

  She thought for a moment and I waited while she processed.

  "Oh!" Realization finally hit her. "Ooh." A smirk lifted her lips.

  We discussed how it would play out, what we would do and say, and just hope for the best reactions out of the two.

  "Okay, I'll go get them and you be sad." She rushes.

  I chuckled and laid on my bed facing the wall. My knees were brought up close to my stomach and my arms against my chest making it look like I was trying to curl up in a ball. I took a deep breath and got myself "into character" as I call it.

Not too long later I hear footsteps slowly entering my room and that's when I knew that the show had started.

Small whispers were being shared as I lay away from everyone. My bed made a creaking noise as I felt a portion of it being pushed down. Nobody said anything, instead I felt Colby start rubbing my back.

  How did I know it was Colby you may ask? It was obvious. I could just tell by when he touched me. If it were Sam I would know too.

  It was silent for a while. The boys just sat and comforted me without knowing they didn't need to. Either way, it was nice.

  In reality if the interview really did go badly, none of this would actually be happening. I wouldn't tell them, and I wouldn't show I was unhappy either. I don't like people knowing when I'm not okay, not my cup of tea. As long as I can make other people happy I'm fine.

  Unexpectedly for the boys, I sat myself up and turned around to face the two.

  Colby moved his hand to his lap and looked me directly in the eyes. Sam took a moment to really I had moved but his head jolted up to me. Seeing their faces made me feel terrible, I couldn't keep going.

  I motioned Sam to move closer and pulled them both into a hug. As I leaned it I made it seem as if I were about to cry for the finishing touch. They quickly wrapped their arms around me as I did so to them.

  Fake sniffling, and heavy breaths pulled it all together. Then was time for me to break it up.

  "You fell for it." I whispered.
