HI GUYS! I'm trying to get back into this story, but I wanted to wait to see if people actually were reading it. There's about 10 of you and that's pretty cool. It would mean A LOT if you guys would vote. Also, feel free to point out spelling/ grammar mistakes if you see any. Thanks and now... to the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was back in my apartment that I shared with my high school friend, Katie. Fate somehow brought us to the same college which works for me because we've grown even closer throughout the years. We share a modern penthouse on the Upper East side of Manhattan, so it was big enough for the both of us. When you got off of the elevator, there was a big room with chairs and a fireplace and paintings all around, which we liked to call our sitting area. Then to the left there was a kitchen with a peninsula and tables. To the right of our sitting area was a staircase that split off at the top to left and right hallways. Each hallway had its own bathroom, and two bedrooms. Katie and I rarely bring over guys to "spend the night", but it wouldn't matter because our rooms are so spaced apart that you cannot hear anything- if you get what I'm saying.

While I was eating some grapes, I hear the elevator ding. "Katelyn?" I shouted, "Is that you?".

"Who else would be walking into our apartment right now?" She questioned while walking into the sitting room and turning on the fireplace.

"Okay, well someone might be stopping by here later... " Then I filled Katie in with everything that had happened and how Sebastian was my dean and how I need to go on a date so I would not fail out of English class.

"Woahhh okay that's a big surprise for you. Hmmm but since you told him that Nick was your boyfriend, you can mess with him a bit" She said with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

I raised my eyebrow, "Explain."

"Just call Nick and ask him to come over! But you have to tell him what's up in case it gets too heated because as I remember, Sebastian is a jealous guy. Anyways I'll greet Sebastian at the elevator and then you can be watching a movie with Nick and he can have his arm around you so Sebastian gets the message that you do not want to date him."

"This is why we're best friends. That's honestly the best idea ever." So I thought...

"Okay but you go get ready because it's 5 now and I'll call Nick over and ask him if he'll pretend to be your boyfriend."

"Gosh this is so lame, I should just tell Sebastian that I do not want to have anything to do with him."

"Do you think that would really work?"

"Good point. Let's just do this." I said while climbing up the stairs. I turned right after the stairs because that was my side of the hallway. I quickly showered and blow-dried my hair.

Then I wrapped my towel around myself and went into my walk in closet. What should I wear for this "date"? I don't want to be too sexy because then he might get the wrong idea but I don't want to dress like a hobo just to prove a point.

I think I'll wear white jeans with a black v neck t-shirt and a black pea coat- just in case I get cold. I paired that with my diamond tear necklace and a pair of basic black Louis Vuitton heels. After deciding I looked casual and cute, I put on some eye makeup and applied some color to my cheeks and lips. After looking in the mirror, I could tell that my outfit needed something else. I walked back into my closet and picked out a black Michael Khor's purse that I stuffed my essentials and wallet in.

I checked my phone and it was 6:30, so I raced, as best as I could wearing heels, downstairs in case Seb decided to show up early. Which is something he would do. When I got downstairs, Nick was already sitting on the sofa with Katie eating popcorn.
