Devin's P.O.V

  I sat on the smooth grass of our front lawn waiting for Jared to come pick me up.There wasn't much to do inside and the weather was great out here. I looked up at the sun but it didn't hurt so much as I had my sunglasses on. I then looked down at my outfit:

I also had my white converse on. My hair was straightened completely today and I had left it to just stream down my shoulders. I soon noticed Jared's car stop in front of the house and I stood up, smiling and walked up to the door. I opened it and sat down.

"Ready to go?" He asked and pecked my lips lightly.

"Yep," I nodded and put my seat belt on.

   He started to drive and it took quite some time until we actually reached his house, which I soon found out wasn't so big when we reached it. Of course he wouldn't need much space if he was just staying by himself right?

   The house had a very modern look on the outside: mainly being a large black square with many white streaks in different parts. There were also 3 small lights hanging on top of the front door that weren't lit because it was still day time. I felt my mouth hang open a little once I saw the beauty of the house. Who said that small couldn't be awesome? It still looked much better than our house that was just simple.

   I hadn't noticed the car stop until Jared came to open my door. I shook my head and walked out taking his hand as we walked inside. We walked inside straight to the living room that looked like this:

The whole house was tied together with the same theme. As we walked in I saw 3 people sitting down but they stood and greeted us with smiles as soon as we walked in. There were 2 girls and a guy.

"Hi!" A girl with dark blonde hair, almost brown said first coming up to me with a bright smile. "It's nice to meet you I'm Daylin."

"It's nice to meet you too," I nodded and we shook hands.

I met another girl too who had dark brown hair and seemed a little more in my personality. Her name was Kat and the guy's name was Mike. They all seemed like nice people.

We all took seats on the couch as Daylin brought drinks and some different snacks like skittles and gummy bears. We all talked together and got to know one-another.

"So Devin, tell us a little more about yourself I mean Jared just goes on and on and on about you," she said with a giggle.

Jared rolled his eyes and I just laughed.

"Well there really isn't much to tell about me. You could say that my life wasn't really always the brightest rainbow."

"Oh, I know about those tough stuff that you went through because Jared is like my brother so no need to talk about those if you don't want."

"Well that's good in a way that you know because I don't really like explaining it. Anyways, I work at a clothing store but luckily I'm on summer break now but I'll have to go back to work in a few weeks."

"Do you play any sports?" Mike asked.

"I used to play baseball a lot in high school but I haven't in a while but nothing else really."

"Well that's great finally one of these girls can play with me," he grinned.

"Yeah because Kat and I suck at sports."

"Speak for yourself! I'm good at soccer not my fault that Mike here only knows baseball and basketball."

   I giggled at that thought. Wait what? Did I just say giggle? I haven't giggled in over 4 years.

"I'm good at beauty so if you ever need a good hairstyle or makeup advice you can come to me for sure," Daylin said taking a handful of skittles. I looked once at my side and saw Jared was very silent so I nudged him in the arm playfully.

   The day at Jared's house went by great we had an awesome time with everyone and I liked them all very much. We became very great friends with each other. I exchanged numbers with all of them and even made plans to go shopping with Daylin tomorrow and Kat was going to tag along. She didn't really like shopping much but we decided to hang out. I stayed with them practically until 8pm. We went out to Jack-in-the-box in the afternoon to have dinner all together before Jared dropped everyone back home leaving me at the end.

   He knew me too well, I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could.
