Charlie POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I wake up for school, I have a horrible headache. I walk over to my closet and pick out a pair of yoga pants with a hoodie and Uggs because I don't feel like wearing jeans. I just put my hair in a messy bun and walk downstairs. When I walk in the kitchen, I see the funniest thing ever. Nico is wearing an apron and dancing around while making breakfast. I laugh and sit down on a stool. He hands me a plate with a piece of toast and scrambles eggs. I eat it quickly and then we both jump in his car and drive away.

When we get to school, I go sit by my friends and wait for Greyson to walk in. When he walks in, he winks at me. I smile and start blushing. I suddenly remember something and turn around to face my friends.

"Guys, my birthday is next week" I say, excitedly. "We know" Dylan answers. "So y'all need to come over for my party" I say. "We are" Dylan says calmly. "We already talked about this" Ryan tells me. I laugh and then we go to first period.

The first half of the day goes by very fast. At lunch, Greyson comes and sits by me. "Hey Charlie" he says, smiling. "Hey" I answer back. We talk and eat and when he has to leave, he gives me a hug and kisses my cheek. I blush as I watch him walk away. "Oooooooooh! That's PDA!!!" Dylan yells. Some teachers look over. "Dylan, shut up" I whisper-yell. She laughs and then we go to P.E..

When we get to the gym, Greyson is in there. I blush because I am in athletic shorts and he is smiling at me. "Okay class" the coach yells. "Today Greyson is here to show some of you how to exercise! Because apparently, some of you don't know how to do a decent push up!" He yells at us. We start our exercises and when we get to push up, the coach makes everyone stop and watch Greyson. "Ya know what. I think Greyson here has it too easy. You come here" he says, pointing to me. I walk over to him. "Sit on his back" he commands me. "But-" "NOW!" He interrupts me. "Sorry" I whisper to Greyson. I sit on him and he starts doing push ups. He does 20 and then the coach tells me to get up. We play volleyball and then the class is over.

After school, I go upstairs to do my homework. After about an hour, I get a text from Greyson.

Greyson:hey what do you want for you birthday??
Me:you don't have to get me anything
Greyson:yes I do
Me:no you don't
Greyson:why don't i?
Me:because I don't want you to
Greyson:well I'm getting you something
Me:nooooooooooo
Greyson:yesssssssss. I g2g. Bye😘

I go downstairs and see Peyton and Nico sitting on the couch, about to kiss. I slowly walk back up the stairs and watch them through the banister. They start kissing and I hear Nico mumble, "I love you..." But then continue kissing her. They kiss for like 2 minutes and I am about to go downstairs but then I notice Nico's hand moving to the bottom of Peyton's shirt. I keep watching, waiting to see what he is gonna do. He slides his hand up her shirt and starts rubbing her back. She does the same to him. I don't wanna see where this is going so I decide to walk down. I cough before I walk down so they know I'm coming. The hurry and sit up and act like they weren't doing anything.

"Oh hey Peyton!!" I say. "Hey Charlie" she answers. I laugh to myself and walk in the kitchen. After a few minutes, I hear something. I peek into the living room and see the same thing I saw when I was walking downstairs;Peyton and Nico making out, on my couch. I go back into the kitchen and get something to eat. I completely forgot about them so when I walked in the living room, I saw Nico shirtless with Peyton laying on him, and them making out. "Ahem" I awkwardly say. They don't stop. "AHEM" I say louder. The both shoot up and pretend like nothing happened. I laugh and go back to my room. I see I have a text from my mom.

Mom:hey sweetie!! Our flight got canceled because of the weather :( we will be back in a week. We will be missing your birthday. I am so sorry. Please tell your brother. I love you!!
Me:love you too. I miss you!!
Mom:I know. I got to go. Bye :)

I lay down in my bed, a million things going through my mind. It's only about 8:30 but I fall asleep. I hope Peyton and Nico don't get into too much trouble down there.

When I wake up, I walk downstairs and see Peyton and Nico asleep on my couch. I wake them up. When Peyton gets up, she has a confused look but then she has a very worried look on her face. "Oh no! My mom is gonna be so mad! Shes gonna kill me! I gotta go" she yells, running out the house. "So. What happened last night?" I asked Nico. "That's for me to know and you to find out" he says, smiling. "You didn't" I say. "What?" He asks. "You know" I say, raising my eyebrows. He thinks for a minute. "No Charlie. We did not 'do it' on the couch" he answers. "Good" I say as I walk away.

When we get to school,I see Peyton sitting by herself where we all usually sit. I go over to her. "Where are Ryan and Dylan?" I ask, looking around. "With their boyfriends" she says pointing to across the gym. I see Dylan and Ryan, sitting with their boyfriends. "Oh well" I say. Then we go to first period.

The rest of the week goes by fast because we only had two days because of the weather. It's Friday night and I'm sitting on the floor in my room, playing truth or dare with my friends. It's my turn. "Ryan. Truth or dare" "dare" "I dare you to take Dylan's phone and not give it back until tomorrow morning" I say, smiling. "NOOOOOOOO! I'm texting Blake!!"(her bf) she yells. "Oh well" Ryan says, grinning evilly. Dylan reluctantly hands over her phone. "Charlie. Truth or dare?"dylan asks me, grinning evilly. "Dare" "I dare you to send Greyson a picture of you in those lace underwear" she says evilly. "No" I say. "Ok, then I dare you to give up your phone for the rest of the night" she says, thinking she's making me mad. "Okay" I say as I hand my phone to Ryan. Me and Greyson don't text much so it's fine. "You're just gonna give it up? Just like that?" She asks. "Yep" I answer. She looks unpleased. I laugh and we continue our game. By the end of the game, it's 2:47 a.m. and we started at 10:30 p.m. Wow. That's almost 4 hours. We can't fall asleep because we has lots of candy and soda. I look at the people sitting in my room right now. Dylan and Ryan are laughing at who knows what. I'm just kinda sitting here. And I look up on my bed. Nico is sitting there, his arm around Peyton. Gosh. He really loves her. She really loves him. That's true love. Right there. Sitting in front of me. I hope that's how it is with Greyson.
