"Do you think we fooled them?" Matt asks, taking a glance over my eyes.

"I don't know. Ask the freaks who have been watching the whole conversation with a cheeky smile." I answer.

Matt snaps his head towards the front door, where low and behold, lay Nick, Chris, Amelie, Lily, Melanie, and Hailey with smiles plastered on their faces. They shut the certain once they caught us looking at them.

"This is gonna be so disappointing." I laugh, standing up as does Matt.

"It's not. It's gonna be funny." he replies.

"Should we just be like. One two three. GET PRANKED! Or something?" I ask, "Yeah." he shrugs, opening the door.

"CONGRATULA-!" Everyone begins to shout but we interrupt them.

"It's a prank." we state.

"No! We saw everything!" Nick replies.

"Yeah. It was just a prank." I shrug, walking past everyone to sit on the couch.

"Hey! You guys know we support you guys if yall date, right?" Chris asks, "Yeah we know. We're not dating though." I shrug.

"NO FAIR!" Hailey exclaims.

"Tough luck babes." I reply.

"Oh shit! I have to be home. Mom needs me. I'll swing around later though okay?" she says, "K." I reply.

She, Amelie, Lily, and Melanie say bye before leaving.

Hailey had been their ride so they had to leave with her.

"I can't believe you guys lied to us." Chris sighs, plopping down next to me on the couch.

"We didn't lie. We just pranked you." Matt corrects.

"Dammit!" Nick exclaims.

...

"I want my name to be Dia." I start.

"Why Dia?" Chris asks, "I don't know. It's just... better than Annika." I shrug.

"I like Annika." Matt shrugs. "The name I mean."

"Oh come on. We all know you like Annika. Especially after that prank." Nick replies.

"Shut the fuck up." Matt says, slapping Nick's head.

"Eh I don't know. Dia's my middle name. My whole life I've been thinking of just going by that. I like it more." I say, ignoring everything that had just happened.

"I like your name." Chris replies.

"Cool. I don't." I reply.

"Why not?" Nick asks.

"Because. It's just... weird. I don't know. And what nicknames come from Annika? An? Nikka? I don't want people thinking someone's saying the N word." I answer.

"Then what nicknames come from Dia?" Matt asks.

"D. Iah. Like Leah without the L. Dees. Wait no. I have too immature friends for Dees. It's just better, I don't know." I answer.

"Hey, do you guys wanna go to a party?" I ask.

"That was a very sharp topic change." Nick laughs.

"I didn't like sounding pick me." I reply, "You didn't." Matt replies.

"Whatever. Do you want to or not?" I ask, "Sorry that came out mean." I add.

"I'm down."

"So am I."
