I woke up and got dressed, I was going to the movies with a friend, and then going shopping after. Putting on my blue denim dress and some tan sneakers i grabbed my purse.

Jumping into my friends car. (Beatrice- Bea for short). She's homeschooled so we only see each other once in awhile but she's one of my best friends.
As we walked around the mall, we chatted like usual but I haven't mention a single thing about Tom until it slipped, "Oh my gosh last night me and Tom went to the tree house-" I caught myself and quickly tried to change the subject.
"Woah whoa whoa hold on WHO'S Tom?" She smirks nudging me. I rolled my eyes and smiled
"No one" she looks at me and laughs.
"yeah right, tell me I'm your best friend you know I won't tell anyone!" Bea pulled on my sleeve and wined. Looking at her, i tried to make up my mind, I mean I do trust her, we've been friends since 6th grade and she's never let me down.
"Okay but let's grab ice cream first" I say heading towards the parlor.
Sitting down at a table we both devoured our ice cream, "soooooo??" She says, returning to the obvious subject.
I looked up at her as I finished my last bite of ice cream, "okay okay, so there is this guy and he's new to my school, and we've been hanging out, and we may or may not have kissed last night" I felt myself begin to blush with my last words.
I notice Bea take out her phone and open Instagram, "what's his full name?" She says looking up from her phone.
"Tom" I stop, she glanced back up at me "holland", I began to nervously play with my spoon.
I watched her type his name into the search bar, "I can't find it?" She shows me the results, he must have deactivated his account during this time just incase, "weird" I say.
"Show me a picture" she says excitedly, waiting for my response. Hesitating I pulled out my phone and scroll through my camera roll. we haven't taken very many pictures together and all the ones that we did are really stupid. I stumble across one and I turn my phone "here this is tom"

She grabs my phone and holds it close to her face. "That's the guy you're hanging out with?!" She looks at me and smiles.
"Yeah" I smile back "I have a picture of him eating a donut but I thought this was better"
She gasped "Ellis HES SO HOT" she says as she pinches and zooms in on the picture and I sat there in my seat smiling at her reaction.
"How old is he?" She asks as I take my phone. back
"uh 20" glancing up to see her reaction. "Damn girl! Get it!" She says practically yelling. I look around and see a couple of people staring "wait a second- Ellis if he's twenty he shouldn't be in high school"
"would you shut up!" I say laughing. "I'm getting to that"
"Soooo you've just kissed?? Nothing else" she says raising her eyebrow as she leaned in closer whispering, I look at her and I felt my self starting to blush again. "Yes, we haven't done anything else, I actually might go live with him..." rapidly she looks up checking to see if I'm serious
"Wait. hold on. you are going to go live with him? Ellis have you've lost your mind?! That's not a good idea!" She says pretty much screaming now and by now I just accept it. "And he's 20? Ellis what's really going on"
"... he's actually an actor... more specifically he's going to be the new Spider-Man for Marvel. We met at my school- and I swear I had no idea, he was staying to better prepare for the role, but we became a friends and one thing led to the other and now apparently im going to ask my dad tonight if I can go with him back to Atlanta while he films" I couldn't believe I just said all of that. Taking my finger I played with my empty cup and spoon.
"Ellis don't get me wrong he's gorgeous and I'm sure a really nice guy, plus he's a actor and probably is very successful... but how do you know you guys are going to stay together, you aren't married, so nothing is official plus you've only known him for a couple weeks now." I look down to my lap at my phone resting on my dress and I see a text message from Tom.
"I know. It's so crazy but I'm sick of this town, we both know I was gonna move anyway and so were you, plus Bea, you know I've had serious boyfriends in the past, but I can promise you this one... he's not like any boyfriend I've had." Hoping she would understand.
We pulled into my drive way and she looked at me "just remember to keep in touch and if you ever need me you know I'm here" she smiled reaching for a hug. I was so lucky to have her. My dad would be getting home soon and it was going to be the time to talk to him about me and Tom.
