"Hey. Thanks for picking me up" I grinned as I got in Grace's car. We were having a girl's day since we never get to. Usually, our boyfriends crash it. They know Grace and I are hanging out today but I didn't tell Ashton what we were doing. I don't think Grace told Calum either.

"Yeah of course! I'm glad I get to finally hang out with you" she laughed and pulled out of my driveway, "Should we get our nails done first then maybe grab some lunch and go shopping?"

"Yeah that sounds good to me" I grinned, sitting back in the passenger's seat as Grace headed towards the downtown area.

We got to the nail salon and headed inside. We were taken to two different stations but were still next to each other,

"What color are you going to do?" Grace questioned as her nail tech started to work,

"Pale yellow" I smiled, "You?"

"I think aqua"

I smiled and watched my nail tech work. I've always been insecure about my nails so I was a little nervous. When I was younger, I bit my nails all the time and picked at the skin around them which means they look like shit now,

"Oh hey, I heard you and Ash are going to get an apartment" Grace spoke,

"Yeah we are. Probably not until July or early August" I shrugged, "Are you staying on campus or are you and Calum going to find a place?"

"Calum and I found a place. I mean, we've been together for three years now. We know we're in a good place" Grace grinned,

"You said found? You already have a place?" I questioned,

"We have. We placed a deposit but we don't move in until August first"

"That's cool. Ashton said he found a place for us to look at. We haven't gone yet though. We need to wait until I turn eighteen to do anything"

"Speaking of, isn't your birthday during spring break?" Grace asked,

"It is" I nodded,

"We should go somewhere. It will be for your birthday and our spring break" she suggested which made me bite my lip,

"I'm going back to Hawaii for the week of spring break. Oh! Maybe I can see if you all can come. You'd just have to pay for your plane ticket"

"That would be cool"

After getting our nails done, we headed to the mall. Once we got there, we headed inside and went to the food court first since we were starving.

"What do you want?" Grace asked as we looked around,

"Chick-Fil-A" I grinned. We didn't have Chick-Fil-A in Hawaii so since moving here I eat it a lot. Anytime Ashton and I are together we usually get it.

Grace nodded and we went and got in line. She went to one register and I went to the other,

"Can I get a number one meal with a lemonade and Chick-Fil-A sauce?" I spoke. The worker got it put in and I paid then I walked over to wait with Grace.

"It still amazes me that you have never had Chick-Fil-A until you moved here" she laughed. I playfully rolled my eyes just as our names were called. We went and grabbed our food then found a seat.

We began eating then in the middle of our conversation, we saw our boyfriends walking to us. Both Grace and I groaned. It's not that we don't want to see them, it's just that Grace and I can never hang out alone without them showing up,

"We told you all not to bother us" Grace spoke as Calum sat next to her and Ashton sat next to me. Both boys pouted,

"We said it was a girl's day" I sighed, "How'd you know where we were anyway?"

"Cal said you guys were here" Ashton spoke, "We just wanted to see you all"

"And we want to see you too but Payton and I can never hang out because you two crash it" Grace groaned, "Look, I love you guys, I do, but when we ask for just a day for the girl's you all just join in when clearly not invited"

"Geez, we're sorry" Calum tossed his hands up. Grace was definitely more upset about it than I was. I had a feeling they'd show up anyway. I was still mad that no matter what we tell them, they always crash it,

"Can you leave?" Grace shot at Calum,

"Yeah" he nodded as he and Ashton stood, "I'm sorry"

"It's whatever" Grace sighed.

I then looked at Ashton who had a guilty look,

"I'm sorry" he told me,

"It's okay. I'll text you later, okay?"

He nodded and kissed me quickly before he and Calum headed off again.

****

Grace dropped me off at home and I headed inside. We cut our day short because she was mad at Calum. I was a little upset they crashed but definitely not like she is.

As I walked inside, I found my mom cleaning the house. She paused what she was doing and wat her me set my shopping bags down,

"Did you have fun?" she asked,

"I did but we cut the day short. Our boyfriends crashed it" I sighed, "Grace is really mad at Calum"

"Are you mad at Ashton?" she questioned,

"No. I'm just annoyed that they still showed up" I shrugged. Mom nodded,

"Show me what all you bought" she then changed the subject, kneeling down with me and pulling out my new clothes.

****

It was around nine o'clock at night and I was laying in my bed watching Ocean's Eleven when there was a knock on my door. I paused my movie and watched as my door opened and Ashton's curly head popped in,

"Hey" I smiled, not moving from my comfortable spot,

"Hey" he sighed and walked in, shutting my door behind him. He walked to my bed and sat on the edge which made me sit up,

"I'm sorry we crashed your girl's day again. We shouldn't have done that" he apologized, "I know you and Grace want to hang out without us for once. I'm sorry we keep ruining it"

My face softened and I motioned him to come sit with me. He kicked off his shoes then got under the covers and I laid my head on his shoulder,

"It's okay. I'm not that mad about it. But I'm annoyed you all keep doing it" I sighed, "How'd you know we were there anyway?"

"Grace told Calum which I then later found out that she told Calum if he showed up she'd cut his dick off" he chuckled then turned serious, "I actually didn't know you guys were there though. He just said that we should go to the mall"

I nodded then pulled Ashton down to lay with him,

"I'm sorry" he said again, making me laugh,

"Ash, it's okay. I promise"
