"okay, so let's start with harry potter." emma say, inserting the disc inside the dvd. after putting play, she comes back to sit next to me.

"is that your favorite movie?" i ask.

"definitely! i'm literally obsessed with harry potter, hardcore." she answers, causing me to laugh.

"i've never seen it." i admit, and emma's mouth drops open.

"how have you lived? sixteen years of living on this earth and you've never seen harry potter?" she exclaims.

"nope, and it's actually only been fifteen years of not seeing it." i correct.

"oh, sorry. you just look like a sixteen year old." she says, a small giggle following afterwards. an idea then pops into my head.

"hey, since we don't know much about each other we should play 20 questions." i suggest, and emma, thankfully, agrees to it. this'll be a perfect way to get to know emma, for future references. "i'll start, what's your favorite food?" i ask.

she sets her finger in her chin, and thinks. "okay for lunch it would be pizza, but i do love muffins. shawn got me obsessed with them." she answers. "okay now, when's your birthday?" she asks.

"june 8, 2000. and yours?"

"november 29, 2000." emma answers. great, we're about the same age. that's definitely something good.

we keep asking each other questions, as the movie plays in the background. suddenly i can't resist, and i have to ask her the question i've been dying to ask her since i got here. "so, do you have a boyfriend?" i ask, hoping that i didn't come off too strong.

her cheeks heat up slightly, and she tries to cover a smile peeking from her lips. "no actually, i don't." she answers, and now it's my turn to try and hide my smile.

"well that's good." i say.

"oh really? and why is that, grier?" she asks, a smirk lingering on her lips. i have to admit, i did get some shivers when she called me grier. i love the sound of her voice, especially when she says my name.

"i mean, we're both single." i say. "so we can be single together!" emma laughs, nodding her head.

"yea, who needs a boyfriend when you have hayes?" emma says, causing butterflies to erupt in my stomach. and that very moment, i knew i liked her. we'll be really good friends, maybe something even more.

"ya know, you should totally follow me on instagram." i tell her, getting my phone out and opening the instagram app.

"okay, but only if you follow me too." she smiles, getting her phone out as well. we exchange instagrams, then follow each other. i take time to look through her pictures. and damn, she looks so good in all of them. how can a human being possibly be this perfect?

snap out of it hayes! she's just a girl, a really beautiful girl.

"let's take a selfie." i say, then raise my phone.

"ew no, i look so bad right now." she says, covering her face.

"whatever, you look good. now come on, i wanna make my friends jealous." i tell her.

"jealous of what?" emma asks.

"that i'm hanging out with a really pretty girl." i explain, causing her to blush.

"ugh fine." she says, then smiles for the camera. we take about ten selfies, each one doing a different pose. i post my favorite one on instagram with the caption, "great to meet this beautiful girl 💞 @emmamendes"

instantly comments start taking over my instagram asking if she's my girlfriend. it can get annoying sometimes, but you get used to it after a while.

"i just got a text from shawn, the boys won't be back until late at night." emma says, then puts her phone away. "let's just keep watching the movie."

which is what we do. we spent the whole day watching different movies, and it couldn't be better. emma makes movie watching a whole lot more interesting, just like playing video games.

emma loves responding to the character's actions, as if they actually listened to her. and she would cry whenever someone died, it was super sad but so adorable. i got to comfort her, so that was an upside.

now it's around nine o'clock, and we're currently watching an action movie that's name i don't know. i look over at emma to see her eyes slowly closing. "are you tired?" i ask her, and she nods her head.

in a matter of minutes, she falls asleep. her head laid delicately on top of my shoulder. i smile as i look at her, then grab a nearby blanket and put it on top of her. "good night emma." i tell her, then close my eyes as well.
