**The Next Morning**

*Taylors POV*
I picked up Kenzie for school, and we stopped at Starbucks on the way. We had about 10 minutes before we had to be there, so why not?

When we got there, we got out of the car. Honestly, me and Kenzie are the coolest people of California High besides, you know, Hayes, Nash, Aaron, and all of them. Besides Cameron because he graduated last year. We didn't wanna be homeschooled but everybody really never bothered us. Honestly, it was great too because I actually feel like a normal kid when I got to school.

After 1st period, I waited for Kenzie at her locker so we could walk to Biology together. It was the last day of school so we didn't really do anything. We ended up leaving school around lunch time. We went to Kenzie's house and hung out for a little bit. We just watched Netflix and ate food. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it was great.

We turned off the TV. We ended up talking about literally EVERYTHING. I don't know why but Kenzie always made me smile. No matter what..

**Kenzie's POV**
I loved Taylor's smile. And he smiled every time I said something. I thought it was cute. I loved having someone around that actually cared about what I said. Every time I tried to talk to my mom, she never listened because she was always worried about her work. I couldn't talk to her about boy problems or anything. I couldn't talk to my sister about anything either because she's 10 and doesn't understand anything that goes on in my life. I have a dead-beat dad that left when I was three so I can't talk to him. And I hate bothering my step dad (my little sisters dad) about anything because he's always so rude to me. So it was just nice to have a guy best friend around. My regular best friends never even let me talk because their always talking about boys, or their gossiping and it gets old.

But with Taylor it was different. We didn't even have to talk about serious things we could talk about something we saw on Instagram or stuff that goes on at school. I loved having him around.

It was 4 o'clock now, and Taylor was still over. My mom was about to be off and my little sister was at a friends house. My mom got home and she saw us sitting on the couch. She didn't recognize Taylor because I've always been going to his house, and he hasn't been over here in a while.

"Hey Kenz & Kenzie's friend." She said.
Me and Taylor turned around.
"Oh my goodness! Hey Taylor! It's so good to see you!" She was so happy to see him.

"Hey Mrs. Convey." He said as he hugged her. He came back and sat down beside me and continued to watch TV. Mom went upstairs for a while. Then she came back down all dressed up.

"Hey kids, me & John are going out with some friends tonight and we probably won't be back home until 10 tomorrow morning. When y'all start to get hungry, there's pizza and pizza rolls if y'all wanna make those."

"Okay." We echoed.

"Alright. Y'all lock the doors when I leave, and don't answer the door for any strangers. There's money in the cup on the fridge and Kenzie, my car keys for the jeep are on the key holder if you guys need to go anywhere. Okay? I love y'all!" She said as she walked out the door.

Me and Taylor looked at each other.

We can finally go to the end of the school year party, that our friend Zack was planning for tonight.

Taylor called Hayes and asked who all was going. Pretty much everyone was. The party wasn't until 8 so we had about 3 hours until we needed to get ready.

*2 hours later*

I started to get ready, because it takes a while for me to curl my hair. I put on my high waisted skinny jeans and one of my favorite white crop tops, and a pair of my high top converse.

Taylor got back from his house and he was wearing a black beanie, some khaki shorts, a black tank top that said "Swole", and his Nike Elite socks and his new white and black J's. He looked great. I drove us in my moms jeep. We arrived an hour late, and there was barely any parking spots. We had to park on the other side of the road. We walked in and Zack greeted us and we saw our "squad." We walked over to them and Nash had 2 girls on him, and you could tell he was drunk off his ass already. Taylor grabbed us a couple of beers, and we sat there and talked to Hayes for a while. Then we saw Nash go up stairs with the two girls. Of course. We all laughed at Nash because he busted his ass going up the stairs. Then "turn down for what" came on and Hayes wanted me to dance around with him. So I did. Me and Hayes were having a blast. I grabbed another drink and I felt a little buzz coming on. After me and Hayes danced for what seemed like forever, I looked around for Taylor. I couldn't find him. I looked at the stairs.

I saw Taylor walking up there with some other girl.
