I Can't Believe I Like You

Twenty

Haley, Reagan, Kaitlyn, and I are all walking to the park to talk. I can't believe that Andrew talks about me. I thought it was always going to be a one-sided type of thing.

"I still didn't get my ice cream" Haley grumbles from beside me, her arms crossed with a pout on her face. I roll my eyes and I see Kaitlyn and Reagan do the same.

"SAW THAT" Haley claims, glaring and pointing her finger at us.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I say innocently, shrugging my shoulders. Reagan and Kaitlyn start laughing and I smirk at Haley.

"Ha ha look at me I'm so funny" Haley mocks sarcastically.

"I know" I say, flipping my hair behind my shoulder.

"I hate all of you" Haley huffs, crossing her arms again.

"Ignore her, she's just grumpy because she didn't get ice cream"

"Dang right I'm grumpy"

We pass by the park and I look at Reagan and Kaitlyn with a confused look.

"I thought we were going to the park?" I question, glancing at Haley.

"Oh yeah about that, I lied" Reagan says with a shrug, continuing to walk to an unknown destination.

"So where are we going?" Haley asks, her eyes flashing with interest.

"To our boyfriends house, their roommates" Reagan says, nudging Kaitlyn with her shoulder and sending her a look.

"Yeah and some of their friends are going to be there, so we brought some of our friends, you guys" Kaitlyn says, sending us a smile.

I smile back and Haley reluctantly smiles back as well. I roll my eyes, she's not going to be nice until we give her ice cream.

"Do we pass a store on the way there?" I ask them, sending Haley a look that says 'I'll give you freaking ice cream stop being a meanie'. Haley smirks and looks over at Reagan and Kaitlyn as well.

"Um yes, a little convenience store"

"Can we stop there will quick? I'm going to give the grumpy five year old her ice cream"

"I'll be a happy five year old if you give me ice cream" Haley chimes in, a happy smirk still on her face.

"Sure" Kaitlyn says laughing, turning into the sidewalk that leads to the entrance of the convenience store. I follow her and a rush of cold air hits us when we open the entrance doors.

"I'm guessing you'll get the ice cream" Kaitlyn says, amusement in her blue eyes.

"Yup"

I walk away and head to the freezer section. I see a small cup of cookie dough ice cream and I pick it. I walk up to the counter and pay for the ice cream.

"So, how much does Andrew talk about me?" I ask Kaitlyn, trying to seem nonchalant about it.

"A lot, he won't shut up about you" Kaitlyn says, rolling her eyes fondly.

I laugh and a giddy smile spreads across my face.

"Sara" Kaitlyn says seriously, placing a hand on my arm. "Andrew may seem like a bad guy, but he's not. Just.. Trust him"

I blink and nod slowly at her serious and desperate stare. She smiles and let's go of my arm, walking back towards Haley and Reagan.

I follow after her, her words still swimming around in my head.

"Finally" Haley whines, when I hand her the ice cream.

"Shut up" I say playfully, hitting her arm.

"I don't have a spoon" Haley whines again, looking at us with a pout.

"You look like a little kid" Reagan 'awws' and hands Haley a spoon. Haley glares but then happily starts eating her ice cream.

"I do not" Haley defends, her face stuffed with ice cream.

"Don't talk with your mouth full" I grimace, and Haley just sticks her tongue at me.

We continue on our walk, Haley finishes her ice cream just when we turn into this driveway.

"Sara, here you go" Haley says, shoving the empty carton into my hands.

"I don't want it" I groan, glaring at Haley.

"I didn't either" Haley shrugs, smiling innocently at me.

"Give it to me, I'll go throw it away" Reagan says with a laugh, taking the garbage out of my hands.

"I'll meet you inside" She calls to Kaitlyn as she rounds the house. Kaitlyn nods and gestures for us to follow her.

We walk up the steps onto a front porch of a two-story flat. Kaitlyn puts her hand on the doorknob and shoves the door open.
