MARIA'S POV
"Wake up, Maria." someone said.
I just groaned.
"Come on. If someone else came to wake you up they'd be screaming and jumping on your bed. Please wake up." the person said. I'm pretty sure it's Braiden though.
"Braiden?"
"Yeah?"
"Carry me." I said with my arms open.
He chuckled and said, "Okay but when your boyfriend sees me carrying you he'll probably strangle me."
"No he won't because now you're my best friend."
"What about the girls and Jeremy?"
"People can have more than one best friend."
"Yay! You're my best friend too!"
"Yay! Bffs fo lyfe!"
"Bff means best friends forever."
"Don't judge."
Once he got down the stairs, Riley saw us.
"Care to explain why you're carrying my girlfriend?" Riley asked.
"Because she asked me too then said I was her best friend. We're best friends fo lyfe."
"Whatever. Babe, we have bacon."
"BRAIDEN LET ME DOWN BEFORE I KICK YOU IN YOUR BALLSACK I LOVE BACON!" I screamed in Braiden's ear.
"Jesus okay. Definitely best friends." Braiden said while scratching his ear.
"Food is greater than life." I said.
"Okay. So, what are we doing today?" Connor asked.
"A movie?" Thomas suggested.
"Like what?" Jenna said.
We all looked at each other and yelled, "GROWN UPS 2!"
"Grown Ups 2 it is then." Kristina said.
"I'll look up the times." Jeremy said.
"Okay. It says it plays today at 4pm only." Jeremy said after a few minutes of searching the times.
"Okay, it's 2:45 now." Toby said.
"So, lets finish eating and get dressed!" I said.

"Connie, you promise you won't kill us?" I asked.
"Ugh, now you're calling me that?" he asked.
"Yes, Connie. I like saying that, Connie."
He stuck his tongue at me.
"You never answered my question."
"Yes. I promise I won't kill you guys."
Connor was driving us to the theater and I'm hoping to dear God that he won't kill us.
I smiled at him.
"You know, you smile a lot, and I don't have a nickname for you." Connor said.
"Yeah, so?"
"So, Smiley is you're new nickname."
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Whatever."
*
Once we got to the movies, I saw that Toby had invited Kaitlin. Shit. I gave the girls and Jeremy a look and they gave me a worried look. Whatever. She wouldn't kill us in front of the guys. Just act normal.
She hasn't even acknowledged us. I tried saying hi but she just ignored me. I guess this is part of her plan to break me and the girls.
We got into the theater and we sat like this: Kaitlin, Toby, Thomas, Jenna, Kristina, Braiden, me, and Riley.
Once the movie started I saw Braiden and Thomas give each other looks then smile. Then, they started to do the classic stretch then put your arm around the girl. So, Thomas's arm was around Jenna and Braiden's arm was around Kristina. They both turned red. I knew that they liked Thomas and Braiden so I smiled.
But then, an idea crossed my mind and I leaned over and called Thomas's and Braiden's name so they were both looking at me, and the girls were too. Then I whispered, "Boys, if either of you touch my best friends inappropriately, I will cut your balls off. So, be a doll, and watch your hand." The boys get wide eyed, but kept their arms around the girls and the girls got even more red. I smiled, satisfied with my performance.
Then, I feel an arm around me. Wow, Riley was copying Braiden and Thomas. I just chuckled and shook my head.
*
By the end of the movie, we got into 2 popcorn fights, and the staff came over twice to tell us to be quiet, and that if they have to come over a third time they're kicking us out. So, yeah that shut us up.
We drove home while blasting Cruise by Florida Georgia Line, Wild by Jessie J featuring Big Sean, We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus, Best Song Ever by One Direction, and I Love It by Icona Pop.
We were all singing along, well more like screaming along to the songs, and laughing so hard on the way back to my house.
Once we got back, at like 5:40, we walked in laughing.
"Hi Mom." I said.
"Hi. Please get your teenage friends to stop being so loud. Jesus, teenagers these days." she said.
"Please, you were probably like this when you were 14." I said.
"Just please shut them up."
"Fine. GUYS PLEASE SHUT UP BEFORE MY MOM KICKS YOU OUT!" I screamed. They didn't listen.
"Well that worked well." I mumbled.
"I know what to do. HELLO TEENAGERS THAT LOVE FOOD! IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP YOU'RE NOT GETTING DINNER AND DINNER IS PIZZA!" Mom shouted.
They all shut up.
"Mom, you have the magic touch." I said while laughing.
"Haha. Okay, fellow teenagers. You can have the pizza but please don't be so loud and if you are lock yourselves in a room. I'm a mother who can't afford to go deaf." she said.
"Sorry." they mumbled.
"Guys, It's fine. I love all of you." she said.
They all went up to hug her tight.
"WE LOVE YOU TOO!" they screamed in her ear.
"Jesus, what don't you guys get about quiet?" Mom asked while scratching her ear.
We stuck our tongue out at her and she did the same to us.
"Okay, so dinner will be here momen-" Mom said as she got cut off by the doorbell.
"Well it's here. Maria, can you go pay?" she asked.
"Yeah."
Mom handed me a 20 and a 10 as I walked to the door and answered it.
"Hi. How much is it?" I asked the delivery guy.
"24.50. And can I get yo number? A sexy ass girl like you deserves the best." the guy said while trying to pull me out the door.
"Get the fuck off of me." I said.
"Damn. Hot girl with a mouth. Come on, you know you want it." the guy said. By now, I was practically out the door.
Just as I was about the scream someone came and pulled me away.
"Get the fuck off my girlfriend you thirsty man whore." the person said. By that time I knew it was Riley.
"Yeah, and who's gonna make me?" the delivery guy asked. His name tag read Nick.
"Us." a group of people said.
I turned around and saw everyone. Mom with a belt, Braiden with a fry pan, Jenna and Kristina with baseball bats Toby with a big metal spoon, Connor with another fry pan, and Thomas with a 3 pound dumbbell.
I smirked.
"Fine. I'll go. Just give me the money." Nick said.
I handed him the money, pushed him down, then slammed and locked the door in his face.
Everyone let out of breath.
"Jesus, honey, sometimes your looks do us all bad." Mom said. Everyone nodded.
He would've gone for Jenna or Kristina if they were paying. They're gorgeous too." I said, trying to get the attention off of me.
"They would." Braiden and Thomas said and everyone else nodded again.
Riley whispered in my ear, "Are you okay babe?"
"Yeah. If you and you're killing crew didn't come I would've kicked him in the ballsack."
"You always aim for there on a guy to threaten them." Riley said while laughing.
"They're there for a reason." I said while laughing too and walking back into the kitchen.
"Everyone please put you're weapons away because I'm fucking starving."
"Language, Maria."
"Shit. Sorry." I said just to get Mom pissed.
She just glared at me and I smiled in response.
Boy, do I love my family.
Speaking of family, where's Vinny?
"Mom, where's Vinny?" I asked.
"I haven't been seeing him lately but he texts me and tells me where he is. He usually comes home around this time but he texted me saying he was sleeping over Joe's. So yeah he's basically hanging with friends all day everyday." Mom said.
"He's probably spending his time hitting on girls." I mumbled.
"Probably." everyone else said which made me smile.
*
It was now 6:45 and none of us no what to do for 3 hours and 15 minutes. The boys had to go home at 10.
"Ugh. I'm so bored!" I said.
"Well, we finished dinner 35 minutes ago so how about we go to Starbucks then come back and have a movie night?" Thomas asked.
We thought about it for a minute or so then we all said something in the category of 'sounds good' or 'STARBUCKS!' or 'whatever'.
So, now we're riding our skateboards to Starbucks.
We all ordered our usual then rode back to my house. Then, we chose to watch A Thousand Words and 27 Dresses while Riley and Connor made popcorn, and Jenna and Jeremy got some cookies.
*
"Bye guys!" the girls and I said.
"Bye! We'll either see you tomorrow or the next day!" Toby said.
We laughed, waved, then shut the door.
"Braiden is so adorable!" Kristina squealed.
"Not as much as Thomas!" Jenna squealed too.
"Oh my god guys, they totally like you!" I also squealed.
We're girls, don't judge us.
"Do you think they'll ask us out?" Jenna asked.
"I, personally think they will." I smiled.
Then, Kristina and Jenna started doing a happy dance.
"Hello?!" I exclaimed, then they pulled me in to the happy dance.
That's the way my night ended. Now, I'm in my bed, just doing my usual thinking of how lucky I am. God, I'm so lucky. But what about Kaitlin?
