Stephanie's POV

This girl is standing in front of me and Carson and her are smiling at each other.

Carson: "Brooke!" He yells, "what- what're you doing here?" He asks running up to her and hugging her.

Brooke. Seriously?

Carson's ex-girlfriend?

Brooke: "I was in town." She smiles.

Carson: "it's so good to see you!" He smiles back.

Brooke: "I was- I was wondering if you wanted to talk?"

Carson: "yeah." He nods, "I would."

Carson escorts Brooke up to the stairs.

I'm not mad or jealous but really? She couldn't of came at a worse time.

Giselle's POV

I told Daniel that I would talk to Cody so I guess I should.

I walk up to Cody at his cubby.

Giselle: "hey." I say.

Cody: "hey." He says avoiding eye contact.

Giselle: "I wanted to talk to you-"

Cody: "you only want to talk to me because Daniel told you to."

Giselle: "that's not true."

Cody: "Okay," he says turning to me, "well, I don't want to talk."

Giselle: "then what do you want-?"

Cody: "the truth." He yells annoyed, "I want to know why you changed your mind about going out with me."

I can't tell him I went out with him because the girls dared me too.

I open my mouth but no sound comes out.

Cody: he nods and looks down, "that's exactly what I thought."

Giselle: "no-" I stop him, "I do want to go out again."

Cody: "then tell me why you didn't want to before." He says looking me in the eyes and crossing his arms.

I honestly don't know what to say to him.

Giselle: "I- I-" I stutter.

Cody: "you- you- you what?" He mocks.

Giselle: "I was nervous." I blurt and my face flushes red.

I guess this is my only excuse.

Cody: "you were nervous?" He asks smirking with a raised eyebrow.

Giselle: I nod, "yes."

Cody: "I didn't think you were the nervous type." He smirks.

Giselle: "well I am and if that bothers you, then we don't need to go on another date." I sass.

Cody: "oh come on now, Giselle." He teases, "I am just teasing."

Giselle: "why are you always up in my grill?" I ask crossing my arms.

Cody: "up in your grill?" He mocks.

Giselle: I nod, "yeah." I cross my arms.

Cody: "well how about I tell you; Friday night?"

Giselle: "A movie and a lecture?" I pause raising my eyebrows, "how about you don't." I say walking to the studio door.

Cody: "you still owe me for being... nervous." He smirks and I turn to him.
