I arrived at PJ's friend's flat, and I was really nervous. I am always nervous around new people, but PJ was different. He was so sweet to me, and I felt like he genuinely cared. We walked in the building. PJ was saying something to me, but I wasn't listening. All that I could think about was whether or not his friends would like me. I don't know why I cared so much. I mean if he was so nice, then wouldn't his friends be just as nice, but people say opposites attract, or is that just about love. What if all of his friends are jerks? Lola, stop it. You always think things through way too much. Just go with the flow, and if you don't like his friends then you can tell him that. You are entitled to an opinion, aren't you? What if he thinks you are a twat for saying you don't like his friends. PJ is too sweet to think that. You barely know this boy, and you are already making assumptions about him.
"Lola?" PJ asked, waving his hand in front of my face.
"Huh?" I responded, probably sounding like a complete idiot.
"We're here," he said before knocking on the door. Wait, when did we get out of the elevator? When did we walk down here? I guess I just followed Peej, while I was in La La Land. I am super surprised that I didn't run into a wall or something. I am notorious for doing things like that. I then realized how I got down here. PJ's hand was in mine. He must have guided me. I looked at our hands and smiled at PJ. He smiled back. PJ was the sweetest guy that I had meet before. The door finally opened, revealing a boy with smooth black hair that was brushed to the side. He looked emo, but he smiled and sweetly said hello, proving that he wasn't. He said his name was Phil. PJ introduced me to another boy with a similar haircut, but his hair was brown. Is everyone that PJ knows 6 feet tall at least?
"I'm Dan," he stated.
"Lola," I said, simply.
"Aww, did Peej finally get a girlfriend?" another boy asked as he walked out of a room that I assumed was the kitchen. PJ quickly answered,"No! She's just a friend." Wow, am I really that repulsive? He then turned to me,"That's Chris. He's a twat!" We all laughed, but Chris threw a pillow at PJ. Correction: Chris threw a plush Totoro at Peej. Why did these boys have a stuffed animal? I smiled at the boys and realized that PJ and I were still holding hands. As much as I didn't want to, I let go. That is probably what led Chris to think we were dating, or maybe every girl that PJ introduces to them Chris calls PJ's girlfriend. How many girls did PJ introduce to them? PJ probably already had a girlfriend. Being as sweet and handsome as he is, why wouldn't he? I smiled again, not enjoying the silence.
"So, do you guys wanna watch a movie?" PJ offered. I liked the idea. No awkward silences, and no getting to know people, but I kind of wanted to get to know them. Right now all I knew about them were their names and that they weren't very serious people.
"How about we play truth or dare?" Chris said. Everyone nodded, except Peej and me.
"So, it's settled. We're playing Truth or Dare," Dan said.
Great. Just great. The last thing that I wanted to do is play Truth or Dare with 4 boys that I barely knew. There was also the little factor that I would probably end up kissing one of them, being the only girl. Fantastic. I sighed.
A/N: I hope this chapter is a little longer. I may end up writing another chapter today, because I have to be quiet for 2 hours, because my dad is doing training, and he needs silence. Fun times. Thanks for reading. XXX
