"Hey," Conrad says walking into the kitchen and opening the fridge "Hey," I reply looking down at my phone "Do you wanna go surfing with me later?" He asks

"Uh, I have plans actually," I say smiling but still not looking up at him "Doing what?" he asks turning around to look at me

"Dylan and I are gonna go see a movie at the drive-in," I say looking up at him "Who's Dylan?" He says tilting his head and staring at me

"The Guy I met at the bonfire," I say "You just met him why are you going to a movie with him," He says rolling his eyes

"So I can get to know him better," I say in a 'duh' tone making him roll his eyes again "Mhm, okay," He says walking away without even getting anything to eat or drink

"What's his problem?" Susannah says walking into the kitchen past him "No clue," I say shrugging my shoulder and then looking back down at my phone

"Want to have a movie night with Belly, Laurel, and me tonight?" She says coming up behind me and playing with my hair "I would love to, but I have a date tonight," I say with sorrow lacing my voice

"Oh my, with who?" She says excitedly "This guy Dylan, I met him the other night," I say smiling "Did you tell Connie that?" She asks "Yes," I say

"oh boy," She says letting out a light laugh "Now I know why he's mad," She says "But he has no right to be mad," I say

"Why not? I mean you are his ex-girlfriend after all," She says still playing with my hair "He has a girlfriend, so I think it'd be okay if I went on one date," I say laughing

"He has a girlfriend," She says dropping my hair "Yes, I thought you knew?" I say confused, Conrad usually tells his mom about this stuff "Nope," She says walking to stand on the other side of the counter

"What's her name?" She asks while leaning on her hand that's resting on the counter "Nicole," I say "She seems nice," I say completely lying

"Hmm," she says raising an eyebrow and I could tell she didn't believe me "I mean," I start to say but cut myself off wondering if I should tell her what I was about to say "Anything you say stays between us," She says

"Okay, well the other day Conrad and I stayed here just us while you guys were shopping, and apparently he was supposed to hang out with Nicole and I didn't know that but he lied to her and told her that I needed help with summer studying. The next day when Belly went to the tea," I say pausing to take a breath "Belly then told her that Conrad and I used to date and Nicole got mad, and then Belly said that he and I fell asleep together on the couch after going swimming all day and she got even madder,"

"She said that she was gonna talk with Conrad and she did and I well we heard everything she said and she told Conrad to pick me or her and after that, I walked away cause I didn't want to hear any more of what he had to say," I say "He picked you right?" She says standing straight up

"Well they hung out last night so I'm assuming no, which I mean I didn't expect him to pick me but at the same time I did, if you know what I mean," I say letting my head drop "I'm not going to judge this Nicole because I haven't met her but since this is gonna stay between us, I will never like him with another girl that's not you," Susannah says smiling and grabbing my hand causing me to laugh

"I love you," I say laughing "and I love you, like my own, well hopefully when you marry Conrad then you can really be one of my own," She says laughing and walking around the counter back to behind me

"What would you like to do for a career path?" I ask Dylan as we sit in his car watching Sabrina on the screen in front of us "Anthropologist," He says rather fast "Why?" I ask truly wanting to know

"I want to really learn about why people do what they do and the different cultures people all over the world have, I know there is a lot of knowledge about that sort online but I want to see if for myself I want to help get other's cultures and their social behaviors out there," He says looking at me while I just sit and listen "there is also lost of statistics that go into being an Anthropologist and I'm good at statistics," He says laughing also causing me to laugh

"I just think it would be super fun," He finishes "What do you want to do?" He asks "I want to be an author," I say "Why?" He asks while smiling

"I want to write about things, many different things that will evoke people's interests, I love reading and the thought of me someday writing books about anything and people loving it makes me want to do it," I say smiling "When I was younger, my dad used to read to me all the time and I just loved that it brought us together because I didn't see him much mainly when we were reading,"

"When we ran out of books we had lying around the house, I started writing my own because I still wanted to spend time with him and I enjoyed it, It made me feel special seeing him being shocked by the things I was writing and the thought of other people and their parents doing the same things makes the time and effort to write a book so worth it," I finish and I turn to see him staring at me while smiling

"What?" I say laughing "Nothing, I've just never seen someone speak with so much passion about something," He says causing me to laugh "It's cute," he says

We stare at each other slowly leaning in second by second until our lips are touching and we find a rhythm that is the best fit for us and we go with that, he grabs the side of my face trying to bring our lips closer if that is even possible. We were soon cut off by tapping on the window causing me to turn and see Jeremiah standing there while I saw Steven, Belly, and Conrad in the jeep behind him

"Uh, can you go get me a drink?" I asked turning back to look at him, he nodded and got out of the car, and walked toward the concession stands. I open my door and step out "What are you guys doing here?" I say a little angry "Just wanted to see how you were doing," Conrad says from the driver

"You could have seen how I was doing when I got back to the house," I say rolling my eyes "But where's the fun in that?" Jeremiah says laughing while walking to get back into the Jeep

"I told them not to come," Belly yells from the back seat "Then why did you guys come," I say annoyed "Because Con," Jeremiah starts to say but Conrad hits him in the back of the head

"Because we were bored and wanted to see the rest of our favorite movie," Conrad says laughing "Please leave," I say looking him in the eyes, I can see him shift uncomfortably after his eyes lock with mine

"Fine," he says turning the Jeep on and driving away. I walk back over toward Dylan's car and get in it and so does he "I uh, think we should leave," He says handing me a water "Why?" I ask confused

"because it's clear that Conrad is still in love with you," He says "What does that have to do with us though?" I say still confused

"I know how it feels to watch someone you are in love with on dates with other guys, I don't want him feeling like that, plus we used to be friends and I just feel wrong," he says starting his car and driving out of the lot

The whole car ride home was overtaken by awkward silence. We didn't speak, no music, and I could barely even hear the car over my thoughts, when he pulled into the driveway I got out without even saying goodbye and he drove off as soon as I got out.
