Tulips, they grow

JULIETTE

"AHHH! I can't believe Logan asked you out!" I squealed as Eva turned bright pink.

"It's not a date-" Eva started.

"Mhm, but you're his date to hoco!" Caroline giggled.

"Guys stop!" Eva smiled and put her head down in embarrassment.

"You guys are literally perfect together, ugh!" Octavia laid down in Eva's lap. "You can teach him how to play soccer, he can teach you how to swim properly- oh and don't get me started on those perfect sporty babies you two will have-"

"TAVIA! Stop!" Eva giggled and shoved Octavia off of her. "Let's talk about Archer's special someone."

They all turned over to look at me.

"What?" Caroline jumped up and smiled.

"Friends! We are going as friends!" I tried to defend myself.

"Don't lie to us. You totally have the hots for him!" Octavia smiled.

"And he totally has the hots for you!" Eva continued.

I groaned and lowered my head in my hands.

"Awwww, their kids would be hot. Dude, your kids' friends would have crushes on you two-" Octavia giggled.

"Your kids better learn how to play lacrosse-" Caroline wrapped her arm around me.

They will be the end of me.

VIVIANNE

"Please, Vivianne, let me take you to homecoming!" Max begged.

"I'm already going with someone, sorry." I frowned and Sarah appeared next to me.

"Get off the ground. She'll never like you." She rolled her eyes and led me with her. "So, Vivi! Do you know if Archer's going with anyone to Hoco?"

I wondered if I should tell her. She's my best friend. But she's had the biggest crush on him since I think she was in 1st grade. "Nope."

"Ok, good. Because I'm going to ask him-"

Shit.

"Shouldn't he ask you?" I quickly interrupted.

"Archer's not that kind of guy," Sarah explained. But he was for Juliette.

"I don't know. I don't think it's a good idea-"

"Why not? Do you know something?"

Fuck this.

"Last I heard, Juliette was going to ask him. I thought she would chicken out, but I'm not really sure. I just don't want you to be hurt if she actually did ask him."

"Aw, how sweet of you! Defending your sister after everything she did to you?"

Then someone coughed to get our attention. My head spun and I sighed in relief when I saw Jonah.

"Hi Jonah!" Sarah smiled sweetly.

"Vivianne, do you think Caroline's going to like this? And would she get mad if I gave it to her during your cheer practice? I don't really know what she's like during her practices." Jonah rubbed the back of his neck.

I looked at the sign.

HOCO would be unBEARable without you

I chuckled when he revealed a teddy bear as well. "I think she would love it. Come during practice, she wouldn't mind."

And he did so.

"Alright everyone! Line up and we'll take it from the top!" Caroline called out and went to restart the music.

And there he stood.

I couldn't hear what they were saying, but she nodded and wrapped her arms around him and everyone cheered.

Oh, how happy she was that day.

JULIETTE

"Do you think he'll ask me, or should I find someone else to go with?" Octavia paced around her room.

"He better ask you." Eva folded her arms.

"Tavia , don't worry, he'll ask you." Caroline smiled.

"And if anything, you can be my date." I joked, causing Octavia to smile.

"I really hope he asks me. But what if he got a girlfriend and he just never told us? Or what if someone else already asked him and he said yes? Ugh, I like him too much to deal with that." Octavia groaned and shoved her head in her pillow.

And the doorbell rang. "I'll get it for you," I smiled and went down the stairs. I opened the door to Maverick. "You are so fucking lucky."

"You think she'll say yes?" Maverick asked and I nodded.

"OCTAVIA! COME DOWN!"

She ran down, and quite literally jumped on Maverick.

Ugh, I feel like a mom right now. And yet, it's the happiest feeling.

Today was the day. We sat, awaiting for the football team to run out. Jonah was sitting next to us and Caroline was sitting with the cheer team.

They ran out, Archer, Maverick, and Logan along with the rest of their team.

I don't really know anything about football, so I can't tell you what was going on. But I know that we're winning.

And then the cheer team performed. It was amazing. Caroline is a great choreographer.

When the game ended, my throat hurt from cheering, and I was so happy.

The football team huddled and were hugging each other.

I followed Octavia and Eva down to the field where all of the dates were going. Octavia ran to Maverick and Eva ran to Logan.

Archer smiled at me as I neared him. And instead of me hugging him, he hugged me.

It was the best hug I've ever received.

"Congrats, Archie!"

"Fuck, I'm so tired." He laughed.

"Go get changed and then we can get out of here."

When we got to my car, we were met with a stack of polaroids.

Some were taken outside of the boy's locker room of Archer. Some were taken of me in the crowd. And one shook me the most. It was of me, but it was taken from right behind me.

But I could swear no one ever sat behind me.

AUTHORS NOTE!!!

I can't believe I actually wrote all of this today. Anyway, cute couples ;)

Personally, my favorite ship right now is Octavia and Maverick so.....
