Lauren's POV

"Lisa!" I yelled, shocked. Of all people...

Connor pulled away from her, but she didn't move. Not an inch. She looked stunned.

"Connor!" Dani shouted at him. "Why would you do that?!?"

"I had to shut her up," he replied.

"You didn't need to kiss her!"

Then there was silence. We all turned our heads at Connor, who just put his hands up in surrender.

"What did I do?" he asked.

"Hmm, let's see..." I answered, putting my hand on my chin and pretending to think. "You stole her first kiss!"

"You shouldn't be talking," Dani told me. "I mean, Lisa's not the only one who lost her first kiss tonight."

"Well..." I said, suddenly going speechless. She did have a point.

"See?" She then turned to Riley. "I don't suppose you're gonna try anything, right?"

"No..." he answered, confused.

"Oh. Okay then."

"I'm lost," Connor asked her. "What do you mean by anything?"

"You know," Dani replied. "Kiss me." She then realized what she said and quickly added, "Or Lisa. I mean, he does like her."

"How did you know?" Ri asked.

"I just do."

"Hold on a minute," Toby said, also realizing what she said. He looked to me with a knowing smirk. I returned it before we both turned and faced Dani.

"Danielle Nicole Cimorelli," I started, using her full name to piss her off even more.

"Do you have a crush on my brother?" Tob finished with another smirk.

Gosh, he's cute.

"Wha—I—NO!" she answered. I could tell on her face that she was lying. It's a sister thing.

"Sure," I answered, prolonging the word.

"Lisa! Lauren! Dani!" I heard someone call from the back. "We have to leave! It's almost midnight!"

"Oh, thank goodness," Dani sighed, getting up.

"Lisa," Connor whispered, trying to snap her back to reality. "You there?"

"Here, let me try," Riley said.

Connor scooted to the side so he could get through. Ri then softly sang a part of "Two is Better Than One," for some reason.

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought hey

You know, this could be something

'Cause everything you do and words you say

You know that it all takes my breath away

And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true that I can't live without you

And maybe two is better than one

But there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life

And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking two is better than one

Then, as he leaned in to try and kiss her, I heard Lisa speak. "Come any closer and I'll punch you."
