I saw Evelyn hugging Dylan and wondered why. I walked over to them. "Hey!" I said to both of them.

"Hi," Evelyn replied in a quiet voice.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in band?" Dylan asked.

"Yeah, we have 15 minute break," Evelyn said.

"Okay, bye guys, I'm going to class!" Dylan shouted as he left.

"Okay see you," I said. Turning to Evelyn, I asked "So, do you want to head to the band room?"

"Yeah, sure, why not? I'm headed there anyways," Evelyn replied.

As we walked to the band room, our teacher instructed us to choose our instruments. "Okay class, pick any instrument you like and get started to warm up," our band teacher said.

"So, what instrument are you picking?" I asked Evelyn.

"I'm picking the electric guitar. How about you?" she asked.

"I'm doing the bass," I said.

"Cool, I always wanted to learn that," Evelyn said. AS the bell rang, I saw Evelyn walking out into the hallway.

"Evelyn!" I called out, running towards her. She said hi but then looked down at her phone texting someone. Does she have a boyfriend? I wondered. I was about to ask her something when one of the guys came up to her.

"Hey Evelyn, wanna come?" the boy asked.

"Where?" Evelyn replied.

"To the field. We made a bet on who's gonna win, and James is gonna be there," the boy said with a smirk.

"What? James plays soccer?" Evelyn asked, laughing and then they walked towards the field together. I didn't know why, but I felt a pang of jealousy inside me. Watching her walk away with that guy made me realize how much i wanted to spend more time with her. I tried to push the feeling away, but it lingered, omg Thomas don't say that it's just a stupid dare. Maybe I wanted to end the dare, I was developing some feelings for her.

As walked onto the field with one of the guys, I spotted James, my gay friend. I ran up to him and gave him a big hug.

"Hey Jamie!" I said. That was the nickname Kaya and I gave him.

"Hey Evelyn, where Kaya?" James asked.

"I don't know," I said, scanning the area for her.

"Hay, wassup bitches!" Kaya shouted as she approached us. Me, James, and Kaya started laughing, then the game started. As James played soccer with the boys, Kaya and I cheered for him, well, we're his best friends. We've been friends for five years, since seventh grade, and now we're in eleventh grade. We basically grew up together. The games ended, and James' team won. Kaya and I were surprised at James was good at soccer.

"So, what's the latest gossip?" James asked while drinking water.

"Kaya has an admirer," I said with a smirk, watching Kaya blushed.

"Who? Tell me!" James demanded.

"Dylan," I said, laughing.

"Dylan, as in your brother Dylan!? You lucky girl," James said, smiling at Kaya.

"I know, right? And we have a date tomorrow!" Kaya said excitedly to James.

"Omg, let's go to my house tomorrow and dress you up," James suggested.

As school ended, James drove off to his house, and Dylan picked me and Kaya up. We talked about the upcoming date in the car.

"So, about our date tomorrow, what time will it be?" Dylan asked.

"How about 6:30 PM" Kaya suggested.

"Yeah that's great!" Dylan agreed. After dropping kaya off at her house, Dylan and I went home. I went straight to my bed and fell asleep, thinking about how exciting tomorrow would be for Kaya.
