Rose's POV

The girls and I had gotten no sleep last night whatsoever. But, it was kind of worth it, I think I laughed harder than I ever had in a really, really long time. It was good seeing them again, I miss our get-togethers. Back in freshman year, we would go out for frozen yogurt every week, but then we started to grow up. Alahna started working and Paige moved closer to the beach. It just wasn't the same now as it used to be. That's what I loved about hanging out with the three of them last night.

What I didn't like was that when Mad Dog and I needed to wake up early the next morning to drive to Harvard, we almost didn't. It took six alarms and a shouting Alahna to wake me up, and getting Madi to wake up was an even harder challenge.

It was eleven by the time Madi and I were fully woken up, and it was twelve by the time we were both ready to leave the house. We were definitely going to get caught in traffic.

When Madi and I were both ready to leave, we asked Paige and Alahna one last time if they wanted to come with us, to which they responded "ugh, that's boring," and "why would you continue looking for more school if we just finished high school." Buzzkills.

Madi and I grabbed our stuff and started to open the door when suddenly, the door was blocked by three tall figures with brown fluffy hair. I looked up, and immediately, beautiful, bright blue eyes met mine.

"Chris?" I said taken aback by the visitors that were now entering Paige's house without invitation.

"Um we're here too," said Nick, leaning in to hug me, while I was still in a moral state of shock.

"What are you guys doing here, aren't we gonna see you tonight?" I asked the three boys in front of me. "What's the point of coming down?"

"Ouch, I guess someone doesn't want us here, that hurts Rose, that hurts," said Matt with a smirk on his face that told Rose he was messing with her.

"No, no it's not that, it's just I-we," I changed my sentence as I look over at Alahna and Paige, "didn't expect you guys to come."

"Duh, that was the point, Ro," said Chris, walking over to the couch where Paige and Alahna sat, who was in just as much awe as Madi and I.

"Um ok so this is a great surprise, but Madi and I are going to head out to the car, unless...do you guys wanna go to the school with us? I know you guys aren't interested in going to college, but it would at least be fun to check it out, give you something to do while your down here." I said with a smile.

"Ok I'm down." said Matt, getting up from the couch and making his way over to where I stood.

"Eh, I'm really tired from the drive, but I'll go, i don't really have anything else to to said Nick with dreary eyes.

"What so you don't wanna hang out with us? Paige and I are offended." said Alahna, exaggerating her hand motions and voice to be more dramatic. Nick rolled his eyes with a wide smile at the two girls.

"Ok Matts going, Nicks going, Chris are you coming?" I said at the boy who was barley paying any attention to what I was saying. He looked like almost soul-less at how tired he was.

"What, oh yeah I'll go" said Chris with a half smile. Chris began to get up from the couch, as the rest of us began to start walking about the door, to the car.

As everyone filed out the door, I was slightly smooshed against my friends in the doorway. I suddenly felt two hands around my torso, and my cheeks instantly fill with a dark red tint. Chris's hands gently moved me to the side so I could leave the house with ease. I knew I shouldn't have made a big deal about it, but my head was filled with thoughts. "Oh my fucking god" was definitely in the top ten ideas that we're currently racking at me.

As we made our way to the car, I gave Chris a small glance, and he smiled to himself, though he didn't look in my direction. Idiot I silently said to myself while laughing. God, this boy.

We decided that we were going to take the mini van, as it was bigger that Paige's Jeep and could fit all of us in one car. As everyone began to pile into the seats, I quickly realized that I would definitely end up in the middle seat if I didn't call shotgun.

"I call shotgun" I said loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Sorry, no happening, i'm always forced to sit in the back, this is my time to shine baby" said Nick, leaping in front of me to sit next to Matt who was already in the drivers seat.

"Ugh, dumbass" I whisper under my breath. I climbed into the backseat, and just to my luck, there was the small, lonely, unwanted middle seat. Lucky me. I sit in the seat and put my seat belt on. There was Madi to my right, and to my left was Chris.

This was going to be a long, long ride.
