Hailee's POV
After Ali described her date to me she made me get ready and soon enough we were in the car.
Ali was softly humming Close by Nick Jonas and Tove Lo, while listening to the directions on her phone. Turning to me putting her mothering face on she spoke
"i am asking you nicely now to behave please because this is big for me ok? and Nash's friends are there and I'm pretty sure they are boys so please don't tackle or hurt any of them for my sake and if you are good you might a treat ok!"
"Ali I promise I will try not to ruin it for you! and can the treat be something to do with popcorn?"
"Yes! wow I realise that I sound like a mother taking her teen to see her new boyfriend"
"Ok but I'm not necessarily going to interact with them and if they get boring or annoying I am going to open my mouth whether u like it or not"
"fine I guess it's the best I can get, we are here!"
We pulled up into a large sized apartment and it seemed to have two floors, it was modern and was painted blue which deeply contrasted to all the other identical white houses on the road.
While I was staring Ali had already for out of the car and was at the front door knocking. A familiar boy who looked the same age as Ali opened the door. He was tall and had piercing blue eyes, I remembered him as Nash
"Nice to meet you Nash!" I said as I shook his hands. He gave me a wierd look like he was trying to impress me - like a new step-father.
We followed him throught the apartment throught what seemed like a kitchen and living space down the stairs into what looked like a basement.
The door opened revealing seven boys all sprawled around on the floor, couches or beanbags
"Ali, Hailee meet Matt, Carter, Taylor, Shawn, Jack, Jack and Aaron" Nash spoke as he gestured too the boys who had
now turned to face us.
a chorus of 'sups' 'hi' and 'heys' erupted
We stood for a while in awkwardness before I decided to invite myslef to sit in a spare beanbag next to a really tall guy with a sharp jawline
"sup I'm Hailee"
"Shawn" he replied giving me his hand to shake which I gladly took.
Ali and Nash were deep in conversation about something and most of the boys were playing video games or on their phones. I decided to do the same and took my phone and earphones out, put my music on and scrolled throught my Instagram feed.
After a while all felt silent and it was really awkward
"Ali, you can go with Nash, I'm fine"
"what...how did you...whaa"
she asked speechless
"please you've been staring at me for 5 minutes now go!"
They got up and left leaving me with the boys.
"What music u listening to?" Shawn asked
"Oh you know depressing music"
he took an earbud and listened and then started to laugh.
"this is Sigala it's happy music"
"did you not detect me sarcasm?"
after a long conversation with Shawn learning about his life I felt like I was being watched
"hey blondie over there quit staring at me" I said without looking up from my screen
The whole room erupted in laughter and the blond went red.
"I don't know what your laughing about bandana I know exactly where you were looking" I raised an eyebrow
'ooohs' and 'pervs' sounded just as the basement door clicked open
"hey guys I got the beer...."
the voice I never thought id have to hear.
My expression soured as I looked at the assholes face as we both said.
"you..."
