My Best Friends.

The Plan... And The Matchmaker

"Well... You see," They both start but then pause when they see they were talking at the same time.

"Okay, dearest children, Chelsea you go first then Trinity. Problem solved." I say in a motherly tone as I roll my eyes playfully

"You know the kid in our Calculus class?" She vaguely describes.

"You do realize that there is like twenty kids in that class right?" I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Okay, okay, don't get your panties in a twist." She defends. "His name is Colton. The one whose super tall and super dreamy. He plays football, You know with the chocolate brown eyes and the juicy-"

"I get it, I get it." I chuckle, then turn Trinity. "Spill."

"Well, his name is Luke. He is the kind of nerdy one, but not really nerdy because he plays for the schools soccer team. He has dirty blonde hair and emerald green eyes. Real hot, don't even get me started on the six pack-" She gets a excited glint in her eye as she describes 'her man.'

"First things first, how do you know he has a six pack?" I direct my question at Trinity.

"Iwatchedhimplaysoccer." she mumbles, quickly.

"What? Say it slower." I order.

"Fine. I watch him play soccer. You know at his practice." She huffs as her face turns a bright shade of pink.

We laugh but then Ashley asks about Chelsea's crush.

"Well, I think he likes me too, but I don't know. He always smiles and winks at me and I think it's adorable." She explains.

I let out a yawn and get up to stretch, when suddenly a hand yanks me back down.

I follow the arm that was latched to my wrist and see that it was Ashley.

"Before you go to sleep, I think someone is cute. I know I've only been here for a day but I just think Dylan is cute, okay?" She admits.

"It's ok to think someone is cute Ashley. I mean, I thought Cason was cute on his very first day too." I smile.

"Yeah, even I think boys are cute. Too bad they are all freaking idiots. No offense." Sierra confesses.

"No, way! Sierra thinks boys are cute? Who? Tell me everything." Jasmine demands, quite loudly.

"Oh my God. Shut the hell up." Sierra groans."Go to sleep."

The other girls get situated either on the couch or on blankets laid across the floor.

I stand up and walk over to the love seat that Cason was laying on. I grab a blanket that was folded over the top of it and turn to lay on the other couch but, was stopped by his hand.

"Lay with me?" He says, in a husky, tired voice.

"Okay." I whisper quietly as I lift the blanket.

I put the blanket over us and snuggle into his warm chest and sigh contently as he wraps his arm around my waist.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you too." I murmur as my eyes flutter shut.

My five year old self was skipping, happily, across a grass land headed to a lake. As I reached the water I dipped my tiny toes in it. It was cold. I really wanted to swim so I just jumped in.

Suddenly I felt the water dripping everywhere around me. I was drenched so I open my eyes to reveal my very own Mother was standing above me with a bucket in her hands. All my friends were surrounding her and Cason was still under me, except he was soaked too.
