Mia's POV

As I wait for Colby to open the door to his apartment, I felt as if something was watching me, I look both ways and spot black object.

"You okay?" he asks turning the key.

"Yeah, I'm fine" before walking in, I look again and thought I saw a shadow, like some kind of bird. I blink and it goes away, I think i'm going crazy. I walk in and close the door.

"Hi!" Sam comes towards me. "Are you okay? You look worried" he says opening his arms for a hug.

"No, yeah I'm fine" I hug him back.

"So I made some food since I know you just got out of class and you're probably hungry" Colby says.

"Aww gracias amor *thanks love*"

"Aye aye, you barely did anything" Sam says.

"Not in front of the girl Sam!" Colby says looking at me.

"You just helped take the food out of the packages" Sam says laughing.

"Colby! You little lying piece of garbage" I say putting my hands on my hips.

"Yeah that's all I did" Colby says shrugging his shoulders.

"What did you make anyways?" I say looking at Sam.

"Spaghetti and garlic bread" Sam says. "Would've made pizza but I don't like it."

"Fair enough" I say.

"Okay well let's eat" Colby says. He walks to the cabinet and hands Sam and I a plate.

"Thanks" we both say.

Sam and Colby serve themselves first, then it's me. Since they're growing men, they eat so much. I serve myself such little since i'm self conscious about my body. When I walk over to the diner table, they both look at my plate.

"Are you serious?" Colby asks.

"What?" I ask.

"Go get some more" Sam suggests.

"No, I'm fine" I smile. I look over at Colby and he has a frown on his face. "What?" I shrug my shoulders.

"You don't have to be this way around us" Colby takes a sip of his drink. "I hate when you're like this" he whispers loud enough for me to hear. I pretend I didn't hear it.

"Fine" I say getting up and serving myself a little more. I walk back to the table. "Happy?" I give Colby a fake smile.

"Much better buttercup" he stuffs a meatball in his mouth.

"Why do you call her buttercup?" Sam asks.

"Oh, I got this" I say putting my hands up. "Ever since I was small I was obsessed with The Powerpuff Girls. My favorite character was Buttercup, she stood out with her attitude, I freakin loved it. One year, my family had a halloween party and I dressed up as her. My mom did my make up and hair and everything. So I told Colby about it and that's my nickname now" I say sipping my water.

"She's your favorite because she is you. Evil, moody, and sassy" Colby says laughing.

"Hey, totally not... okay maybe" Sam and I laugh.

"So you go to school and work at the same time huh, is it hard? I don't think I've ever asked." Sam asks.

"I mean at first it was, but I guess I'm somewhat used to it now" I say.

"And your best friend, what's her name again, sorry I have bad memory. Plus you never really talked about her"

"Alena" I say swallowing the food in my mouth.

"That's' a unique name, it's pretty" Sam says.

"Yeah I'm jealous of her name"

"So you've known her for quite some time huh? Just like Colby and I" he says looking at Colby, he's just eating.

"Yeah, she's the only one I still talk to after we graduated"

"Yup, it's hard to keep in touch with everyone"

"Oh my gosh yes! You say you're gonna keep in touch after high school, but deep down you all know you won't"

"Exactly" Sam says stuffing food in his mouth. "And you said you had siblings right?"

"Yeah, younger brother and sister"

"What are their names again?"

"Brian and Sarahi. Brian is 14 and Sarahi is 10"

"Do you visit them often?"

"I mean I haven't recently, sometimes I'm too busy you know? I plan to visit them tomorrow" I look over at Colby and he looks surprised. "I'll explain later" I say to him, he nods.

"Oh, cool. Plus school started for you so it makes it even harder"

"Yeah. Colby, you haven't said anything. You okay?" I look over at him and he's stuffing the food in his mouth.

"I'm totally cool. It's cool seeing my buttercup and bestie getting along" ha says stuffing more food in his mouth. I blush and look at Sam, he's blushing too.

When were done eating, I help clean up the kitchen. Colby is cleaning the diner table, Sam is next to me putting the leftovers in containers, and I'm washing the dishes.

"The food was amazing Sam, thank you" I say scrubbing a plate.

"Thank you, I don't cook much"

"It was amazing"

"Can I tell you something?" He comes closer so Colby can't hear.

"Yeah, anything"

"He really likes you, you know"

"I-I guess" I'm surprised, I didn't know exactly what to say.

"He hasn't brought any girl here, I mean never"

"W-what, he hasn't?" I'm obviously shocked.

"No. He's been on dates, but it's never exactly worked out."

"Wow, I feel spe-" I stop as I see Colby coming towards us.

"What are you guys talking about?" Colby asks picking at the scraps of food.

"N-nothing, just asking where this goes" I say picking up the pot to show him.

"Just put it in the dishwasher, it's fine" Colby says. I look at Sam and he continues putting the food in the container.

"Here take this for Alena" Sam says giving me the container.

"Aww, she'll love it. I'll put it in the fridge for now" I say walking over to the fridge.

When were done cleaning, Sam goes to his room and Colby and I go to his room. I sit on his bed and look around. When I look up at him, he's just staring at me and smiling.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing I want to give you a tour of the apartment since I know you'll be coming more often"

"And how do you know that?" I say getting up.

"Instincts" he says shrugging.

Colby's POV

I think I love this girl, I'm definitely falling for her. Hope she catches me.
