We drove in silence for about 5 minutes. It wouldn't have been awkward if Monica wasn't giving me death stares the whole way. I tried to shrug it off but I have a feeling this won't go so well...
We pulled up to a large white house with blue shutters. It was really pretty from the outside!
I grabbed all the bags I could and Jesse and Drew got the rest. Casey led the way into a very big room with a great view of the beach. We laid all my suitcases down, some on the bed, some on the floor. I thanked them and Casey said that I could feel free to redecorate however I wanted to! I really liked the colors, it was white and had different color "paint splatters" on it! No need to paint it different, I just want to add some posters and stuff like that.
I started unpacking, putting all my clothes in my closet first. When I was about half way done I heard my phone vibrate.
*TWO NEW MESSAGES*
Cody; call me when your settled in(: we can hang out!
Alli; want me to come help you unpack?
I texted Alli back and told her to come over. Cody was going to come too. I decided to quickly put away all my bras and underwear so it wouldn't be awkward for Cody...
I told Casey that Alli and Cody were coming over and she said that was fine. Monica followed me back up to my room.
"Mind if I help too?" She asked sweetly.
'I think I'm good, thanks."
"I was just trying to be polite. No need to be mean Ryan." She said her eyes getting bigger.
"I know your just trying to get Cody. It's obvious. But just to let you know it's not going to work because Cody actually loves me."
"Love? He's 14 Ryan. You're 13! You don't know what love is."
"Age doesn't matter Monica." I replied to her coldly.
"Whatever. Just watch your back, he'll be mine soon enough."
"Okay then."
I made my over to where Jen's room was. She was unpacking too so we didn't really get a chance to talk!
"Hey girl!" she says cheerfully.
"Hey."
"What's wrong?" She asked me with a worried look on her face and hugged me.
"Monica is trying to steal Cody from me." I rolled my eyes and gagged when I said Monica.
"Wow. You shouldn't worry about her though, she's no Ryan. Cody loves you and you're an overall better person than Monica anyway!"
"Thanks Jen! I love you lots!"
"Oh I know!" She winks at me and then I heard the front door open followed by Monica's annoying voice. Jen and I ran downstairs so Monica wouldn't do anything.
"Oh hey Cody!" Monica said stroking his arm. Cody awkwardly pulled away and mumbled a "hi."
I was standing on fourth step and said "Hey guys! You can come up here with me!"
Cody smiled at me and walked past Monica. Alli did the same and I could see the frustration in Monica's eyes. Cody grabbed my hand and Alli linked arms with Jen. We walked into my gigantic room and Alli's eyes filled with delight.
"This room is EPIC!" She says astounded.
"Haha thanks!"
We started to unpack everything and within 1 hour we were all finished and moved on to Jen's room. That took yet another hour. When we finished with that we decided to take some pictures for facebook and twitter! There was some of Cody an I, Alli and I, Jen and I, Jen and Alli, Alli and Cody, and individuals. We put every single one on twitter and facebook, even though we looked absolutely ridiculous in half of them. We got loads of comments in just a few minutes but decided to read them later since we were going out to dinner. Cody and Alli tagged along since Casey insisted and Angie was okay with it. We went to a really good pizza place! Cody sat next to me and Jen sat on his other side so that monica wouldn't. Alli was on my left side and Jesse was across from Cody. Good, Monica isn't that close to him.
Cody was playing with my hand the entire time while Monica was staring us down. Cody knew she was looking and thats why he was being extra cute, as if it were that hard for him!
"So Ryan, we start shooting the music video tomorrow!" Cody said to me just loud enough to catch Monica's attention.
"Oh yay! I'm so excited babe, it's going to be so fun!" I kissed him on the cheek.
"Annnnd we get to spend loads of time together!" He smiled at me sweetly. I looked over at Monica and raised an eyebrow. She rolled her eyes and looked away. PWND.
After dinner we went back to Casey's house, which I guess I can say is my house now too. They had me go in first for some reason and when I stepped in and turned the light on, about 150 people jumped up and yelled "SURPRISE" nearly giving me a heart attack and causing me to scream and jump into Cody's arms. Not that I minded being there or anything...
He laughed and I looked up at him smiling. "You knew about this?!" I asked him.
"Well of course! We all did, who do you think planned it?" He took my hand and I led him over to say hi to everyone with me. Jen and Alli followed along too. There were so many people there! All of my family, and even celebrities too! Greyson, Justin Bieber and Selena, Demi, Christian Beatles, and more! I can't believe they were all here! Monica was talking and flirting with Christian, who was flirting back with her. Good, maybe now she'll leave Cody and I alone. Alli was with Greyson and Jen was talking with Demi, Selena, and of course, Justin! I walked over to Casey and Drew and thanked them a million times for such a great party! Then music started blasting and Cody grabbed my hand and led me to the middle of the room. Everybody was dancing to "Teach Me How To Dougie". Cody and Alli were so good at it, while Jen and I were completely lost. Jen ended up getting the hang of it with the help of Selena, but Cody had to help me. He went behind me and went through the motions moving my arms for me. Once I got it, I wanted to pretend I forgot just to live that moment over again. Then one of my songs started playing. I smiled and Cody unexpectedly picked me up bridal style and lead to me to a small stage that was set up. I didn't know what was going on until Jen handed me a microphone. Oh of course they wanted me to sing! I started singing my first verse and turned around to see Cody, Greyson, Alli, and Jen dancing like idiots next to me. I managed to make it halfway through the chorus without breaking down in a fit of laughter.
After I finished my song everyone clapped. I walked off stage hand in hand with Cody and Tracy apporoached me.
"Good news! I just got a call and we set up a concert for you at the mall on Thursday! That gives us four days to get you ready! Plus you're in Cody's video so that gives us less time, but you can do it!"
"Of course I can do it! That's great! Thanks Tracy!!!" I hugged her and she laughed and walked away to dance with her husband. A slow song came on: Perfect Two by Auburn. Cody held out his hand and said in the cheesiest fashion ever "May I have this dance?"
"Certainly fine young fellow." I joked, attempting an austrailian accent, which failed.
I put my arms gently around his neck and he put his around my waist. We were looking into each other's eyes and time stopped for a couple seconds. I rested my head on his shoulder and felt oddly comfortable.
By 11:00 everyone was gone. Alli and Cody stayed to help clean up. We finished that by midnight. Angie agreed that it would be best if Alli and Cody stayed the night at my house since it was already so late and we had to film tomorrow anyway.
Alli stayed in the guest room across from mine, and Cody slept in the fouton that was in my room. I didn't even know that was there until Casey set it up. I kissed Cody goodnight and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow!
