"You did what last night?!" I asked shocked.

"We put it all over his face!" Luis laughed. He had his arm around Connie as we ate breakfast.

"Y'all it wasn't that funny." Dwayne exclaimed.

"Dude you completely fell for it!" Goldberg responded while cutting his pancakes.

"What happened?" Someone asked behind me. I turned around to see Guy leaning against the chair next me with a plate in his hands. He flashed me a smile. "Oh and is this seat taken?"

I shook my head, "Go ahead."

"Basically last night me, Luis, and Goldberg did the old feather and cream prank on Dwayne!" Ken laughed.

Guy smiled and laughed, "Well besides that, how was the pool last night?"

"It was great but it would've been better with everyone there." I said to him, also referencing Averman and Jesse.

"Well I just got tired, but next time I won't miss it." He said softly as everyone ate. I took a bite of my french toast when I saw Guy looking up at me then back at his plate. It was adorable.

"You know Germaine, you have a phone. You could just take a picture of Catch-Catch, it'll last longer." Adam chuckled.

"I wasn't staring to be weird, I'm making art!" He said proudly.

We all crowded his plate to see a pancake with blueberry eyes, bacon hair, a strawberry nose, a softball shaped apple, and hockey stick shaped sausage.

"I'm honestly speechless." I told the boy.

"Like in a good way?"

"Yes, in a very good way."

He gave me a small hug, and everyone gave me little happy looks. They had to know something about the person asking me out. From the surprise Connie texted Julie about, to Connie telling me to say yes, and even last night with the necklace. They had to know at least one thing. They especially had to know who it was.

"What did I say?" Goldie questioned. He had been making comments about their playing the whole game, but I guess it was working since we were leading 10-0. I haven't played this whole game and Julie hasn't played in either of them. She needed to talk to Bombay.

"Here goes the Bash Brothers!" Guy said in my ear. He was being way sweeter than he was the last couple of days. I don't know what came upon him.

I got my thoughts out of my head when the buzzer rang that Fulton made it! I couldn't believe how good we were against this team. It was surreal.

I then felt arms around me. Not one set. But two. Connie and Julie had their arms around me. These girls were amazing. My best friends. In this moment I completely forgot about Sierra. And all of my Wisconsin friends. Even softball. Was hockey my new passion?

"Lyndonnn?" My thoughts were then snapped out of my head again. Julie was waving her hand around my face signaling for me to pay attention. "Girl are you okay? You got pretty deep in your thoughts. Are you thinking about, you know?" She was talking about what I told them last night. I hadn't realized I was thinking for so long.

"No! No, don't worry about me. I was thinking about how lucky I am to be here with you guys, and all the boys." I smiled. I turned my head to see Guy smiling and hugging Fulton. He looked adorable. This time I didn't think about my ex. Just him.
