"Are you being serious" I question Lil, because what she is suggesting seems preposterous.
"Yes. I'm dead serious. Justin Caylen Castillo just dropped me off, and put his number in my phone" she try's to reason.
"You think he could hook me up with Kian" I ask somewhat jokingly, but in all honesty, Kian is super attractive, and I would not be sad if we got together.
"I can't believe you met JC. Was he as nice in real life as he is in his videos"
"Even nicer. I fell and scraped my knee, so he took me to his house to clean it up. You texted me right after we bandaged it" she says with a giddy tone in her voice.
"I think I'm going to go to bed, and hope this isn't a dream" she says with hope in her voice, now.
I agree, after a long day of moving, and a time difference, it's time for bed. We both get up and go to our rooms. I climb into my bed that I haven't seen in two weeks, and doze off immediately.

It's been almost a week, and I still can't believe that Lilyen met JC Caylen. I am also having a hard time deciding what kind of ice cream to take to his house tonight. JC, Lilyen, and myself are hanging out and having ice cream sundaes. I really hope I don't go into complete fangirl mode. Oh gosh, that would be awful. I have to act normal, for Lil. I settle on plain vanilla, and milk chocolate. Now, for the toppings. I look down at my list.
" ice cream
Chocolate chips
Whipped cream and whipped topping for Lil
Cherries
Oreos
M&Ms
Sriracha sauce
Cookie dough
Carmel sauce
Chocolate sauce"
JC asked for the sriracha. I'm super puzzled by that, but I have a feeling I'll find out. Once I collect all of the items on my shopping list I check out, then walk to my car. I quickly load everything into the trunk, and head straight for JC's place. It's a short drive, but I still have a hard time finding our neighborhood after I go somewhere. I miss my turn
"Are you kidding me" I yell at myself.
I missed that turn the last two times I went to the store. I loop around, and get back onto my route. I click my blinker on and finally make the correct turn. I pull up the our gate and punch in the code. Once I get to JC's house Lil and JC come out to help me with the few bags I have. We walk into JC's ginormous kitchen and unload.
"So, what's on the agenda" I ask
"I was thinking we could play some halo, then dig in" JC suggests
"Sounds awesome" I reply
"Are you okay with that Lil" JC asks. It's kind of cute. He does this all of the time. "Is he into her" I think "well, he'd be crazy not to be, Lil is an amazing person".
"That sounds great" Lil responds as she blushes a little.
We walk to the living room talking about who is going to win at halo.
"Okay, okay. I vote that whoever loses takes a tablespoon of sriracha" I suggest with a laugh behind my voice.
"You're on"
"You're going down" they tease.
We're starting our 3rd round on halo when the door knob starts to wiggle. We pause the game.
"JC, I thought we were the only ones who we're going to be here tonight" Lil asks with a little disappointment in her voice.
"That's what I thought too" JC replays concerned.
The door opens, and a tall skinny figure appears.
"Hey man" JC exclaims
Lil and I lock eyes, confused. JC stands up to greet his mystery guest.
"Kian, I'd like you to meet Lilyen and Carter. They just moved in down the street"
Holy crap. That's Kian. I'm frozen with nervousness, and excitement.
"It's great to meet you" I say trying to act normal.
"So, what are you guys doing tonight" Kian asks
"Halo and ice cream sundaes" Lil pipes up.
"Care to join" I offer with a wink.
"In fact, I think I would love to join" Kian declares
"Kian I thought you weren't going to be back until tomorrow" JC asks
"I decided to come home early"
"Cool. I'm glad you'll get to hang with us. How about some ice cream?"
"Yeah"
"Totally"
"I'm down"
