I knocked on Theo and Mattheo's dorm door and waited patiently for someone to open it. Finally, the door creaked open, revealing Theo with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He broke into a smile when he saw me.

"Are you seriously smoking in your room?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, hello to you too, beautiful. Besides, the windows are open, so it's fine," he said, blowing out a puff of smoke.

"If you say so..." I muttered, pushing past him into the room, instantly hit by the smell of tobacco and the sight of chaos. Books were piled haphazardly on the desk, and empty snack wrappers littered the floor. I gingerly sat down on his bed, which was just as messy as the rest of the room.

Theo closed the door and turned to look at me, a curious expression on his face. "Why are you here, Cara?"

Ugh, the bed was a mess too...

I stood up and began shaking out the pillow and sheets, trying to make a dent in the clutter. "Okay, so it's actually because Enzo wants something."

Theo didn't even look surprised anymore—he knew I couldn't stand disorder.

"You're here because Enzo wants something?" He took the pillow from my hands and shook it out himself.

"Yes. So, Katlynn asked Enzo out on a date, and he agreed, but he doesn't want to go alone because she's started to annoy him. So, he asked me if I wanted to go on a double date! But I obviously can't go on a double date alone, so I thought, why not ask Theo? So, yeah, here I am... Are you going to 'go out' with Enzo, Katlynn, and me?"

He laughs, a sound that always seemed to lighten the room "that's unexpected but I'm down for it"

Surprise spread across my face "for real?"

"Yeah of course when and where?"

"At 7 at the great hall and then we go to Hogsmeade together at least that's what he said"

"Okay.. guess I see you later then?"

"Yup.. and start cleaning your room" I said as I left his dorm hearing Theo laugh a little

"I haven't had a date in ages" Sienna complained as she stepped out of the shower

"Didn't you had a date with this one brown haired guy before the holidays started?" I was putting some blush on my cheeks

"Well.. yes but that wasn't a good one so it doesn't count!" She retorted

I chucked a little "you're unbelievable.."

"Are you gonna wear this?" Sienna asked looking down at the short black dress I had laid out on my bed. it wasn't too short— I didn't want to look like a hooker on this date

"Yes.. what do you think?" I was now applying some mascara on my already long lashes

"It's cute I bet you'll look like a bomb in it" the brunette got into some fresh clothes she just got out of the dark wooden closet

"I bet Lorenzo will pay for everything and buy her flowers and blah blah blah.. I don't get it.. if he isn't interest in her why is he giving her false hopes?" Sienna asked clearly confused

I had just finished my make up
"I don't know.. it's kinda fucked up right? I mean who does that?"

She laughed a little sarcastically "Oh I know plenty of people who do that"
