That morning i woke up with 1 new text message.
From: Brooke
"hey! do you still want to go to the mall? if so walk over to my house at 1! you can ride with me"
To: Brooke
"alright thanks! see you then!"
I looked over at my clock. 10:45. I was so tired. I normally never sleep that late. Unpacking is really tiring. I get out of bed and go downstairs. My mom went to the store and bought me my favorite cereal. Branflakes. I grabbed a bowl, milk, spoon, and then poured me some branflakes. After i ate i went upstairs. I wanted to look cute but not too cute. I decided to go with a lacy tank, short shorts, and sandals. I decided to start getting ready so i brushed my teeth, did my makeup, and straightened my hair. After that it was around 12:30. I decided to get on facebook for a while. I had 4 messages from my friend Amelia. She lives in Tennessee and she was trying to convince me to get a twitter. She kinda gets annoying sometimes, and this would be one of them. Trying to pass time I looked at some of her new pictures she had put up the night before. Then i looked at the clock. 12:54. I walked over to Brooke's.
When I walked over there she was already in her car. She was listening to this really interesting song. I dont know what it was called but it said something about leaving their heart back in Nashville. As soon as i got in it went off and she started asking me questions and i forgot about the song. Brooke said, "Hey! Have you got settled in yet."
"Yeah, I finished last night."
"Thats good! Are you ready to go meet Alex and Dylan?"
"Yeah, lets go"
And we drove off. In about 20 minutes we were parking at the mall. Before I got out, I took a deep breath. Most of the time I'm nervous around guys, espescially if I really like them. I haven't met Alex and Dylan yet, but i was scared. Lexi led the way to Lids. When we got there she ran up to a tall boy with dark hair and gave him a hug. I assumed that was Alex. Then I looked at the boy beside him. He was taller than me, but he was shorter than Alex. He had a perfect smile, georgeous blue eyes, and I can't even begin to describe his hair. He looked amazing. Brooke says, "Alex and Dylan, this is Lexi."
"It's nice to meet you," I say as i extend my arm to shake Alex's hand.
"The pleasure is all mine," says Dylan while shaking my hand.
Oh lord. Here i go. I could feel my cheeks getting red. I looked down trying to make the moment less awkward but I think I made it worse. When i looked up Alex smacked Dylan on the head. "Bro, you're an idiot," he says. Dylan just smiled, a perfect smile. The kind of smile that gives you butterflies. We walked around the mall going into random stores looking at stupid stuff, being the typical teenagers we are. Dylan had walked beside me the whole time. We had also talked. We talked about where i was from, why I moved, he figured out he lived beside me, and then he asked me a strange question.
"You said you were from Tennessee, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Have you ever been to Nashville?"
"No. I wish though. We didn't live close to it. Why?"
"Oh. I was just wondering."
Dylan is attractive and all but why was he asking me this? it kinda freaked me out a little.
After walking around stores for what seemed like forever we go to the food court. When we got there, Brook asks, "What do you want to eat?" and at the same time Dylan and I both say, "Pizza."
"Wow, that was weird," I said.
Then i looked at Dylan. He was blushing. That made me smile. Then we ate pizza. After we finished the pizza, the boys decided to be gentlemen and walk us to the car. When we got there, Brooke and Alex started making out, which was really awkward for Dylan and I. We just stood there when finally he broke the silence, "Hey. I know i just met you, and this is kinda crazy. But, here's my number, so call me maybe." He handed me a napkin with his number on it. That made my face red, i know it did.
"Alright, I will definitely call you."
And then i gave him my number. I looked over at Brooke and Alex who were smiling at us. Then we got in the car. I heard Alex say to Dylan, "Get you some." Then i saw Dylan punch him on the shoulder. Then i looked over at Brooke. She was smiling from ear to ear.
"What?" I ask.
"Dylan likes you, and you like him"
"No he doesnt, and we were just being friendly"
"OKay we will see"
As we drove home, i couldn't stop thinking about Dylan. The way he ran his hands through his hair kept repalying in my mind. I tried to think about something else, but he kept creeping into all my thoughts. I thought about telling Brooke, but I didn't know if I could trust her yet. So when i got home, I took a shower. It was like 8 when i got finished with my nightly routine. I laid in my bed. I was so tired. I fell asleep for a little while. Then i woke up. I looked at the clock 12:21. I went down stairs to get a drink of water. Then I noticed my phone light up.
"1 new message. From Dylan"
