"Hi guys." I greeted as I sat down at the table in the back corner of the library. I pulled out my book as the other two greeted me back.

"Hey man." Bobby and Tommy greeted as Johnny took his seat across from me. I ignored the three's conversation and just continued reading my book.

"What's wrong with you?" Tommy asked as he took the book out of my hand. "Don't lose the page Tommy!" I scolded and he just rolled his eyes and placed my bookmark into the book.

"Talk to us." He whined. "I don't have anything to say." I replied as I took my book back, setting it on the floor beside my bag. I would be lying if I said I wasn't still pissed about what Johnny had said.

"Well... Are you excited to go to the pool?" He asked. "Uh.. yeah. I'm sure it'll be fun." I replied. I was honestly fairly nervous to go swimming with five boys. I wasn't a big fan of being in a swimsuit in front of people.

"That sounded convincing." Johnny mumbled. I scoffed but ignored him. Tommy looked awkwardly between the two of us before pushing his notebook towards me.

"Can you help me?" He asked. "Oh, me too!" Bobby said as he quickly pulled out his math book and notebook.

I rolled my eyes but started explaining it to them anyway. I looked up to see Johnny watching me explaining the equation to them, giving him a small smile that he didn't return but didn't look away.

He looked really good sitting there, he had on khakis, a maroon sweater and a pair of white converse. I looked away when I heard quiet laughter, turning to see Bobby and Tommy smiling at one another.

I kicked the two under the table, my cheeks flaming with embarrassment.

"You know, I'm so close to firing you two as my wingmen." I said as Bobby, Tommy, and I walked to the bikes, Johnny had to run to his locker to grab something.

"What? Why?" Bobby asked as we stopped at the bikes. "Because you've embarrassed me like 10 times a day since I got here." I said. "But I thought you said I was good!" Bobby said, placing a hand over his heart.

"Good at what?" Dutch asked. "Being Lia's wingmen." Tommy said proudly. "Wingmen for what?" Jimmy asked. "Getting her and Johnny together." He replied simply.

"See this is what I mean! You're horrible and keeping secrets." I said, pushing his shoulder as he realized what he said. "Sorry."

"You like Johnny?" Dutch asked with a smirk. "No! No I do not like him. It's just their wishful thinking." I said firmly. "That's so not true. She's lying." Tommy said, shrugging his shoulders when I gave him a look.
