A boy with black/brown hair comes in. I haven't met all of the guys yet so I have no idea who he is.

He just looks at me, confused.

"Can I help you?" I question. "Oh sorry I thought this was Shawn's room, this house is so big, I keep getting lost everywhere I turn" he laughs and I join him.

"Oh, I'm Aaron Carpenter. I assume you are Beatrice Jane Parker?" He smiles.

"Yep, that's me" I return the kind smile.

"Okay I have a question" he states. "Okay shoot" I smile.

"I have a friend named Tris and that's her name in my contact. But I remember that I accidentally deleted it. Mind putting your number in instead?" He smiles cheekily.

I can already tell, we are gonna be great friends.

"Very well played Aaron. I assume that was your way of asking me for my number?" I giggle.

"Mayyyyybe" he smiles and pulls out his phone, opening up his contacts.

"Well how can I say no to that?" I laugh and put my phone number in and he takes his phone back.

"So," he says while putting his phone in his pocket, "You and Shawn?" He raises his eyebrows up and down.

"No. we're just bestfriends. That's all" I say. I can't let anyone know I like Shawn. I'd be so embarrassed to know I like someone but they don like me back.

And trust me, it's happened a bunch of times.

"You know, it's just us two, you don't have to lie" he laughs.

"I'm not lying" I shrug.

"You can trust me. We'll be like bestfriend ms this tour. You already look like you are related to me," he shrugs, "Why not be one?" He laughs along with me.

He is right, we do look fairly similar.

"Alright big bro, what do you want to know?" I giggle.

"Well lil sis, I wanna know what is going on between you and Shawn" he says.

I don't know if I should trust him or not. He seems pretty trust worthy and all but this is kind of personal.

"Okay but you have to promise you won't tell anyone" I spit out.

He holds up his pinky finger, "promise".

I sigh and begin to tell him the story. From how Shawn and I met, up to now.

When I finish he stares me in shock.

"What?" I ask him. "He hasn't asked you out yet?" He pulls his eyebrows together.

I shake my head and sigh.

"Well. All I'm saying is that he better hurry up because Matthew hasn't quit talking about you since you got here" he says.

Wait, Matthew?

"Really?" I ask. He nods his head, "Well, I don't even know where Shawn is. He posted a vine and he was on the beach but I don't know if he is still there, see" I show him the vine Shawn posted.

"Do you think he was talking about what you told him when he said he needed to clear his head?" He questions.

"I don't know but I really want to go downstairs and meet everyone else" I shrug.

"Well let's go!" He jumps up, grabs my wrist and we race downstairs into the living room.

Nobody is playing video games, I'm assuming they all went their separate ways.
