I glanced back at Andrew, and sure enough, he was looking. With a smile too.

I'm not sure how I should feel about this..

Once he realized that I was looking at him, he started making these weird faces, causing me to laugh.

And because I was laughing, he began to laugh as well.

"Cute.." Olivia whispered to herself, yet I was able to hear her.

That's when the stoplight finally turned green, meaning that the car Andrew was in had to go.

Just before his car left, Andrew waved his hand as a goodbye. I waved back and watched as the car drove off.

Once he was out of sight, Olivia turned to me with a grin. "You have to tell me everything that happens tomorrow night," She insisted.

"Of course," I nodded my head, letting out a small chuckle.

I was going to tell everyone anyways..

~•~

The rest of the way home, Olivia and I constantly talked about the football game, Trevor, and Andrew.

Which I'm okay with, but at the back of my mind, we sound obsessed..

We're not.

"Liv, we should take a picture at the game tomorrow," I suggested, as an attempt to change the topic.

Olivia shook her head and laughed, "No, you should take a picture with Andrew."

Attempt failed.

"No."

"Aw, why not?" She asked disappointedly with a frown.

.. Well I guess it would be nice, having a picture of Andrew and I togeth-

"You're thinking about doing it aren't you," Olivia chuckled as she playfully shoved me, interrupting my thoughts.

I just shrugged and smiled in reply.

"Come on, Talia. If you take a picture with Andrew, I'll take a picture with Trevor," Olivia challenged as a smirk emerged on her face.

When she finished her sentence, I turned my head and gave her an 'are-you-kidding' look.

"Mhm, sure you will," I sarcastically replied while slightly nodding my head.

She won't, I know she won't.

Olivia then lightly slapped my arm with the back of her hand. "I'm serious! I'll do it!" She stated, raising her voice in order to convince me.

That's when my facial expression changed from 'are-you-kidding' to a straight up glare.

"Fine, but if you don't-"

Olivia interrupted before I could finish talking. "I will, pinky swear," She assured, holding up a pinky.

I can't believe we're doing this...

I sighed and linked my pinky with hers. "Pinky swear."

Our conversation was perfectly timed because after we pinky swore, we were right in front of my house.

"Looks like it's time to split," I pointed out before walking up to my front door, leaving Olivia on the sidewalk.

"Yup. See ya tomorrow, Tal!" Olivia exclaimed as we waved to each other.

Once she was gone, I unlocked my door and walked inside.

The first thing I saw was Taylor sitting on the couch, staring at her phone, until she heard me come in.

"Where have you been?" She asked, staring at me.

I gave her a puzzled look, "Dad said to walk home.. what about you?"

"Same here, except I just rode with a friend," Taylor replied, sticking her tongue out at me.

"Okay, whatever. Walking is more fun anyways," I boasted, sticking mine out too.

I didn't want to argue, so I just left the room and went upstairs to mine.

When I walked in, I threw my backpack onto my bed and plopped down onto my desk chair.

I was going to swivel on it, but before I could, my laptop suddenly made a noise.

Skype.

It was a message from Sierra: "aye wanna skype?"

Talia: "okay sure."

After I replied, I immediately clicked the video call button.

Once she answered the call, her camera was facing up at her ceiling, like always.

"Are you ever going to show your face while we're video chatting?" I joked, squinting my eyes at the camera.

Sierra then picked up her phone and showed her face. "Happy?" She fake smiled.

I nodded my head with a grin, "Yes." We both laughed until I decided to continue the conversation.

"So, are you ready for tomorrow?" I asked, since she's going to be performing with band at half time.

She then raised her eyebrows and smirked. "The real question is, are you ready?"

Wow, somehow, I saw that coming.

"Are you serious..?" I glared at Sierra, which only made her laugh again.

"Chill, Talia. I'm kidding, no need to look at me like that." She explained with a chuckle.

"Anyways, to answer your question, I'm so ready. In fact, I'm pumped!" Sierra exclaimed, doing a little first pump in the air.

I wish I could be enthusiastic about something as much as Sierra.

"That's good, what's the thing that's making you feel pumped?" I curiously asked.

I have an idea why she's so excited, but I'm not sure if that's it.

Sierra kind of had to think about her answer for a bit. "Hmm... Oh! The uniforms! Whenever I wear it, I feel all cool and stuff," She replied.

Before I could say something back, Sierra added something to her response.

"Ooh, but Preston in his uniform.." She smiled, probably picturing him right now.

And that right there was my idea of why she's excited.

Preston.

I raised my eyebrows and smirked, which helped Sierra realize what she just said.

She looked as if she was going to talk more about Preston, but instead she just changed the subject.

"Oh! Did Macy tell you what Steve did at practice earlier?" Sierra asked, getting all hyped up about the topic.

Oh yeah, Macy hasn't texted me what happened yet..

I shook my head, "Nope, tell me.."
