(there is a sensual makeout scene in this, but nothing with progress further than that.)

"NICOLAS!!" the dark-headed girl runs into nick's room, yelling.

"WHAT!" nick calms down when she gets a goofy smile on her face. "what?"

"i've kind of sort of got an almost date tomorrow." lilith sits on the bed in front of him while breaking the fun news to him. he jumps up and covers his mouth.

"OH MY GOD! did you and chris already make up?" he asks, making lilith roll her eyes.

"no. it's with this really nice guy named trevor. and he's so fucking fine." lilith pulls up a picture of him.

"oh shit." nick grabs the phone, looking through his pictures.

"i need your help to pick an outfit."

"to the mall, we go!" nick says, running to matt's room. "MATTHEW..."

"where do you guys want to go?" matt asks, already standing up out of his bed.

-

"lili, babe, get up." nick shakes lilith awake, whispering loudly

she groans, "what?"

"you've got to get ready to see trevor." the dog picks his head up from beside lilith. "not you, buddy." nick pets his head.

"what time is it?" lilith sits up, only to see she fell asleep without charging her phone. she rolls her eyes while plugging it up.

"nearly 11." nick replies, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"for real?" lilith panics slightly before getting up to grab a change of clothes.

"yep. you going to shower?" lili nods her head at his question and leaves his room, entering the bathroom while simultaneously closing the door, locking it and turning the light on.

-

nick grabs matt and drags him to the bathroom, holding a camera they hear the door begin to open. when lilith is revealed in her tank top and shorts, matt yells making her scream in fear. she slaps matt's arm and sees that nick was recording all of it.

"NICOLAS!" lilith acts like she is going to go after him, so nick takes off running, throwing the camera to matt. lilith just laughs and walks to nick's room to begin getting ready.

-

there's a couple knocks heard at the door of the sturniolo residence. nick stands from his place on the bed, where he was watching lilith put the finishing touches in her hair. he has a small smile on his face ready to meet trevor.

walking into the kitchen, he sees chris standing at the door.

"hey, i'm here for lilith. is she around?" trevor looks past christopher and sees nick, who waves like a fool.

"yeah! she's just about finished getting ready! come on in, trevor." nick touches chris' shoulder, pulling him back slightly.

trevor walks into the kitchen awkwardly, feeling chris staring holes into the back of his head.

matthew enters the kitchen, immediately walking over and introducing himself.

"hey, i'm matt. you must be trevor." matt daps him up, watching as he nods.

"i'm going to go check on lili." nick says, excusing himself and entering his bedroom with a wide mouth.

"what?" lilith begins panicking. "is something wrong?"
