"I didn't know you went to Princeton University." I looked at Brandon.
"Yeah. I don't look smart, do I?"
"I didn't say that." I laughed pulling the door open to the building of my next class.
"I guess we are at your next class now, huh?" Brandon questioned.
"Yep," i made a sad puppy-face.
"I'll text you tonight. You better answer this time cutie." He said while walking away from me.
I open the my classroom door, blushing and smiling.
"What's up with you little miss giddy?" Jess smiled as I sat down at my desk.
"Nothing." I blushed harder.
She poked me, "you sure?" she started laughing, "I know you when you like someone."
"Shutup," I laughed.

"Mom," I called down the stairs, "I left my toothbrush down there in the bathroom, can you bring it up to me?"
"Coming!" She replied.
I heard her start to shuffle around downstairs while i walked back into my bathroom, applying my nighttime face cream.
"Here you go," she said, walking into the bathroom handing me my toothbrush.
"Oh and Brandon, is going to pick me up tomorrow and walk with me to school." I blurted before my mom left.
"Brandon, huh?" She asked, resting her hand on the frame of the bathroom door.
"Brandon." I confirmed, slightly smiling.
"Okay. Goodnight chickadee."
"Please don't ever call me that again." I pushed my mom out of my room shutting my door behind her and turning out my light.
I picked up my journal off my nightstand and switched on the book light, I had attached to the journal. I began to write:
Monday, May 28 2015

I shut the book light, then the journal and shut my eyes slowly.

"Good morning." I gave Brandon a hug at my front door.
"Good morning to you too," Brandon smiled.
"Starbucks?"
"I know you have time in between now and you're next class, so we will stop there on our walk to school." He said.
"Fine," I huffed.
***
We arrived at Starbucks and ordered our coffees. we sat in line waiting for them when Brandon brought up my journal.
"So, uh, those notes you wrote to Cameron?"
"Yeah..." I paused, "I never meant for anyone to see them."
"Well, sorry, but I did."
"Obviously," I laughed poking a straw through the lid of my iced coffee.
"Anyways, is he the only guy you're interested in?" Brandon asked awkwardly.
"Hmm," I giggled, "I mean, i'm never going to get to him, because famous, but yeah kinda."
"Sucks, huh?"
"Kinda." I pouted.
"Do you wanna go out to dinner Friday night?"
I smiled at Brandon while walking out of Starbucks, "Umm, I guess." I shrugged.
"Okay cutie, we're on." He smiled.

I blushed at his remark from earlier. 'Okay, I might have lied to him a little when I told him I didn't like anyone else.' I thought to myself, 'holy shit Ali, you just met him.' I reminded myself.
"Ali," my teacher scolded.
"Sorry. Deep thoughts." I turned red and laughed at myself, picking up my pencil and tapping it on my textbook.
"Yeah, I can tell. Pay attention."
"Sorry," I muttered.

"Court, he asked me on a date practically!" I exclaimed.
"He's a cutie." Courtney said.
"I know," I laughed.
"Can I call you later? Studying." Courtney murmured and immediately hung up.
I walked downstairs into my kitchen to greet my mom.
"Hey hun," she greeted me.
"Jess is coming over," I informed her.
"Alright." My mom said turning on the sink.
***
"Okay, so I need you to help me pick something to wear."
"What kind of restaurant is this? Fancy? Casual?" Jess questioned, tearing my closet apart.
"I'm not sure, should I ask Brandon?"
"I guess,"
I picked my phone up off my bed and texted him.
Me: um, attire for this restaurant?
I threw my phone back down on the bed and walked over to my closet. I flipped passed shirts and dresses until Brandon texted me back.
Brandon: casual.
Me: k
Brandon: why r u getting ready now? Its only tuesday silly
Me: im just picking out an outfit
Brandon: chill babe, its just dinner.
Me: w u.
Brandon: aw.
I smiled and set my phone back down again. I walked to my closet and took out a pair or maroon high waisted shorts, with a black shirt that said "Soho, New York" on it, a jean jacket and white hightop converse.
"Cute," Jess stated.
"Eh, It's alright. I'm probably gonna pick something different by friday."
