KATE's POV:
The days started to fly by as I started to get used to my new life.
Before I knew it, almost a week had passed.
On Friday, I decided to walk to school since I hadn't been doing my usual running for the past few days.
"Hey, do you remember our plans for tomorrow?", Mia asked me before our class started.
I nodded. "Yeah, we're meeting at the cinema, right?"
Mia smiled brightly. "Yup. It'll be me, Carson, Eric and you!"
I frowned slightly, repeating her words in my head. Mia, Carson, Eric and I?
That sounded a bit like...a double date.
"Um, shouldn't we invite someone else?", I suggested casually, tugging at my tank top. I knew it would be really awkward if it was just the four of us, since Mia and Carson were a couple.
"Why?", Mia asked innocently, her eyes wide. "Trust me, you don't want Jace there. He'll ruin the entire movie with his gross pick-up lines."
I shuddered at the thought of the pervert being in a dark cinema with me. "There must be someone else you can invite.", I insisted.
Mia shook her head quickly. "Nope, no one else."
"Bu-"
"Why do you want me to invite someone else so badly, anyway?", Mia interrupted.
"I-I just think it would be more fun that way.", I lied, avoiding her gaze. I didn't want her to think I was nervous or anything...
Mia raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at me. "Right.", she said, as if she knew I was lying.
I was saved from further embarrassment by the teacher entering the classroom.
"Take out your textbooks, kids.", he instructed, starting to write something on the whiteboard.
I let out a relieved sigh and pulled out my textbook.
I'd convince Mia to invite someone else after class.

After the first period, I walked with Mia to our next class. Our schedules were pretty similar, so we had a lot of classes together.
"Hey, do you think I could invite Kara?", I asked Mia, smiling sweetly.
"Kara?", she asked warily. "You mean the red-headed girl?"
I nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah. She's really nice!" That wasn't a total lie. I didn't know Kara very well, but she certainly seemed nice enough.
Mia studied her fingernails as she said, "You know, I'm pretty sure Carson doesn't like her."
I sighed. Great, there was just no getting around this.
"Hey!", someone suddenly yelled.
I turned around to face a really pretty girl. She wasn't pretty in a carefree, natural kind of way like Mia was, though.

Romansa-"Bye, Eric.", I said, the tears finally overflowing. Eric studied my face intently with his big brown eyes, and then did something totally unexpected. He leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to mine before pulling away and saying, "Bye." I ju...
