Moment in Time (PLEASE DO NOT READ. I WARNED YOU)

Chapter 7

Lily's POV

Great. I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7. Be ready and dress nice babes ;)

I'm pretty sure that after I read that kik from Harry, my face looked like a tomato and that's strange knowing that I have tanner skin than others. I couldn't help but blush and also smile. It was so flattering! Anyone would have done the same if they were in my case. No, I'm not like those people though. I shouldn't be feeling flattered at all. I need to stop second-guessing myself.

What happened?" Ben asked with a myterious glint in his eyes.

"Nothing. What makes it seem like something happened?" I ask back, genuinely concerned.

"Oh nothing. Just the fact that you were staring at your phone's screen smiling and blushing like a maniac for the past bajillion years." He shoots back.

"I have no clue what you're talking about.." I say trying to hide the fact that he was spot on.

Before I know it, Ben steals my phone from me. My eyes flew wide open and my jaw hit the floor. I was frozen, literally. I was standing there as if everything had stopped. What am I going to do now? I see Ben trying to check my kik messages but before I know it, the lock screen comes up. My heart beat a little faster for a second feeling as if Ben actually knew the code. That was until I realized he didn't. I heard a click sound right as I turned my head around to Ben. He got the code correct!

"Hey sweety, next time try not to use the corner numbers as your pin." He mocks me.

"Whatever." I nonchalantly say.

I watch intently as Ben scrolls up to the start of my conversation with Harry. I saw the way his eyes were moving side to side when reading the words. All of a sudden, he stops. He didn't even finish reading. He just stopped right in the middle.

"Wait, I'll be right back." He informs.

He then leaves on his journey to the kitchen with my phone in his hands. That had me wondering....where was everyone? I walk myself to the kitchen making sure to be on my tippyy toes. Quietly, I crouch behind the kichen island listening into Ben, Chelsea, and Caitlin's conversation. I heard absolutely nothing. I try to get a little closer. I thought it all worked out until I walk into a pot. Clank. It made a loud echoing sound. Chelsea, Caitlin, and Ben all turned around to where I was, now lying on the floor.

"He-he you see...I just wanted to feel the floor..It looked kinda lonely and I felt bad. Then that pot was there looking beautiful as ever and it was speaking to me. I swear, the lights were shining on it, the doves were flying and I heard angels singing. It wanted to be heard! And that's exactly what I helped it with.." I say hoping they would believe me.

"You see, we knew you were going to get your nosy ass into this kitchen. This is why we put the pot there. You must feel special. We know you that well." Chelsea explains.

"If that's how you feel then I don't think we should all be friends anymore." I muster up.

"Oh shut up you. You know we were just kidding! You're our baby munchkin! That's why we're trying to help you." Caitlin gushes.

"Help?" I ask.

"Um, why don't we go sit down in the living room..." Caitlin suggests.

We all walk over to the living room sitting on the big comfy couch. I sit myself in between Caitlin and Chelsea. I wonder what's going on here.

"Ok so when I was reading the messages, you might havee noticed that I stopped right in the middle. You don't know why though?" Ben interrogates.

"Why?" I ask.

"Well, at the party, we saw you talking to some stranger." Caitlin starts off.

"Yeah, I think I know who you're talking about." I reply.

"We didn't really see his face but we were wondering if this was the guy you were kiking?" Chelsea asks.

"Yeah, it is." I say back feeling intimidated.

"So what's up between you and this straner dude?" Ben asks.

"I was planning on filling you guys in but you seemed to leave me all alone," I say, "well I was getting a coke and he was sitting there drinking alcohol. He started talking to me. I was scared at first knowing the whole "stranger danger" dealio. He asked for my number and I was smarter than to give him that. Instead,I gave him my kik." I stop making sure they're following.

"Go on." Chelsea says.

"Then, we were kiking each other. We were talking about stupid stuff.." I say.

"Looked more like flirting to me!" Ben teases.

"Listen! He kind of asked me if I wanted to hang out with him....and yeah...." I drag off.

"What is hap--"

"Lil---"

"Wow th--"

"GUYS! One at a time! Please honey boos!" I yell.

"Ohmigosh! What did you say? Please tell me you said yes!" Caitlin says.

"Yeah! Did you say yes? Well of course we're going to be checking this guy up; his intentions and what not. But seriously...Lilycakes got herself a date!" Chelsea exclaims.

"You do know that I am going to fully interrogate this guy? I his intentions are evil than he's getting his ass whooped. He ain't seen the guns." He informs flexing his biceps.

"No! You don't understand! I strictly told him that we were only friends. It's not a date and you can check him out for sure. I want to make sure he's not a rapist. I hope not." I explain.

"Show us a picture!!" Chelsea yells.

"You are such girls." Ben mocks.

“Yes, yes we are.” Caitlin confirms.

“I don’t really have a picture...Maybe I’ll sneakily snap a picture of him when we hang out tomorrow.” I say

“Sounds good.” Chelsea says.

“Oh yeah, since your date is at like 7, Chelsea and I are going to be here at 5! We are going to make you look like a sexy princess.” Caitlin commands. I ignore them.

“Well I have to go guys. Ben, you’re kind of going to have to take me home. You drove me here.” Chelsea says.

“She has a point. If she’s leaving then I have to drop her home. Then I guess I might as well leave too.” Ben adds on.

“If so, I’m leaving as well.” I explain.

“Call it a day shall we?” Caitlin asks. We all nod.

“Wait, Lily, do you want me to give you a ride? I don’t want you to walk home alone.” Ben offers. 

“Sure.” I reply.

Chelsea, Ben, and I wave our goodbyes to Caitlin as we walk out of her door. Chelsea sits in the front seat with Ben while I sit in the back. Ben turns up the radio and I somehow find myself feeling very drowsy. As I feel someone shaking me, I open my eyelids. I guess that I had somehow fallen asleep. I say my thank you’s to the lovely couple up front.

“Bye.” I wave at them.

I had a great time with my friends today. There is no one that could simply compare to them. They mean the world to me.
