I was walking off of the school grounds when I got a call from Mitch.

"Hey. Wanna come over today?" He asked.

"Sure! Can I stay till dinner?"

"Of course and I'll get Adam to cook. Adam's a really good cook."

"Oh okay sweet I'm coming now."

I got off the phone and started running to my car. When I bumped into Caden.

Caden Profit was one of the jocks at our school. He was on the school's football team and was liked by tons of girls. He had brown hair and brown eyes and I hated him. He was a total idiot, making stupid jokes during class and being annoying.

"Hey, watch it!" He said angrily. When he looked up and saw that it was me, his cheeks flushed red.

"Watch it yourself!" I yelled back.

"Hey, sorry I bumped into you."

"Ugh whatever." I said in exasperation. I walked off toward my car leaving Caden on the ground.

I got into my car and drove to the Team Crafted House. I parked in front and got out of my car.

I walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

I hope I won't get shot at again with nerf guns.

I smiled when Mitch opened the door with a nerf gun in his hand.

"Wow. You came prepared." I laughed.

He handed me a nerf gun that was on the floor. "Yeah, sure did. Wanna go scare the crap out of them?" He asked grinning.

"I'd be honored."

Mitch told me that they all were recording this big Hunger Games episode. So we went into each of their rooms, starting with Jerome.

We snuck into his room and when we got near him, Mitch started to make slurping sounds in his ear. I was laughing to myself as I hid behind his bed ready to attack.

Jerome got up from his chair and walked to the side of the bed I was hiding behind. As soon as I saw him, I fired the nerf gun.

"Ah!!!" Jerome yelled as the bullet hit him in the arm.

Then Mitch revealed his nerf gun and we both started shooting Jerome. Then I couldn't hold in my laughter any longer. When I started to laugh Mitch and Jerome looked at each other and started to laugh too.

I guess our laughter was really loud, because soon the rest of the guys were in Jerome's room.

"What's going on?!?!" Adam asked.

"Yeah and what's so funny?" Ian added.

Mitch, Jerome, and I looked at each other. Then we started to shoot the rest of the guys, all of them running for their lives. This was just too much fun!

We chased them to the living room and kept shooting them. After a couple of minutes, our guns ran out of bullets. We all went silent and looked at one another. Then we all laughed together.

"Did you see me hit Ty?! That shot was perfectly aimed at his forehead!" Jerome laughed.

"That shooting was pretty good and I'll get you back later, Mitch!" Quentin said jokingly.

Among all the talking that was going on, my stomach was the loudest of all. It kept rumbling and it hurt really bad.

"So um, what's for dinner?" I shouted, loud enough for them to hear.

Adam looked at me and smiled. "I'm gonna be making burgers."

I blanked out until I heard burgers. My mouth started watering. "Please tell me you just said burgers!" I said grinning.

Adam cooked the burgers. The smell of them on the grill made my stomach growl even more. To pass the time we sat outside in their backyard, asking each other questions.

"So Ellyse, we don't really know a lot about you. Do you mind telling us about you?" Jerome asked.

"Sure. What do you want to know?" I replied.

"Well, how about everything."

I laughed. "Really? That much? Well I guess I could tell you."

I told them about everything there was to know about me. Then I thought about how Jada was interested in Jason.

"Hey Jason. What do you do for a living other than making YouTube videos?" I asked.

"I make music, but I try to do both equally." He answered.

"Cool. My friend loves music, I think you might like her. Quentin, why are you called fish?"

"Well my skin for Minecraft is a mudkip, like the Pokemon. So everyone just started calling me fish and I stuck with it." He laughed.

"So what are some of your friends like?" Ty asked.

"I think they're awesome! They're always there for me and they know how to put a smile on my face." I replied.

Then I thought about my plan for Izzy's birthday. "Hey guys. Do you think it would be alright, if I had one of friends my meet you?" I asked pleadingly.

They stared at me for a while. Then they looked at each other, probably having one of those mind connections. "Yes!" They said in unison.

I smiled. "Thanks you guys!" Then I gave them a big group hug.

"Burgers are done!" Adam said. He brought the burgers over to us.

"Oooo baby! Them burgers doe!" Jerome yelled.

I laughed. Then we ate the burgers Adam made. "Dude these are so good!" I said after I took a bite.

"No problem, Ellyse." Adam replied.

When we finished the food, I stood and said bye to the guys. Mitch stood up to walk me to the door.

"What a gentle Benja." Jerome joked.

"Shut up." Mitch retorted.

We walked to the front door. Mitch opened the door for me. I walked out, and waited as he closed the door. He came toward me and we started walking to my car.

About halfway there, Mitch put his arm around my shoulder. My cheeks reddened. What if he hugs me again, or even kisses me?

We kept walking, but it felt as if time was slowing down. It felt like it took an hour just to walk to my car.

"Thanks again for letting me come over." I said smiling.

"No problem. Me and the guys like your company." He replied.

"Well bye then." I waved him and turned around to open my car, when I felt Mitch grab my shoulder.

I turned to see Mitch grinning. He grabbed my waist, making me stare at his brown eyes. I was blushing majorly. Mitch saw my face redden and chuckled.

"Maybe I could take you somewhere. Just us, on Saturday. Sounds good?" He asked as he moved some hair from my face.

I nodded. He smiled at this and began to move toward me. Then he lightly kissed my cheek. My heart was racing. He let go of my waist and smiled. "I'll call you later, okay?"

I opened my mouth to speak, but my voice wouldn't work. I could just nod my head. He waved to me and walked back to the house, closing the door behind him.

I opened the door to my car and climbed into the drivers seat. I sat there thinking about, yet another, great moment of my life. I looked back at the house and smiled. Then I started the car and drove off.
