Kristina's POV:
Once we're both in my room, I close the door and turn to Joey.
"You said you'll be out by morning, right?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I promise, and thanks again for letting me stay here for the night." He replies with a slight smile.
"No problem and yeah like I said, they can't find out. If they find out that I had a fourteen year old boy in the same room as me, I'll be in big trouble." I said.
"Yeah, I understand. So, where should I sleep?" He asks me.
"Um I'll go grab some blankets and a pillow, I'll be right back." I say as I open my door and walk out.
I make my way to another room and quietly start to grab the pillows and blankets. As I'm doing so, I start to think. Wow, it's hard to process all of this... the boy that my best friend is in "love" with... he lives near us. I don't know if I should tell McKenna, but I can't worry about that right now. Besides, I'll probably never see him after this anyway.
I finish gathering everything and take it back to my room. I open the door to see a tired Joey asleep on my bed. I sigh and put a blanket overtop of him, I then put down a pillow and a blanket on the floor for myself. I slowly start to fall asleep, still thinking about everything that happened today.
Joey's POV:
After she walked out the door, I laid down on her bed and thought. I don't know Kristina that well, but I kind've want to get to know her better. She's really nice and she's funny, too. To be honest, I think we'd be good friends. I don't know... she probably doesn't even think of me as a friend. All I want right now is to be good friends with a girl. Maybe later I'll want a girlfriend, but right now I just want someone who understands me and likes hanging around me for who I am. School is honestly really hard. I don't mean for this to sound wrong, but most of the people at my school only like me because I have a lot of followers. I actually just hit 700k on instagram the other day. I start to daze off while thinking... I just hope I can get a new start.
Kristina's POV:
When I wake up, I realize that the suns out. I smile to myself and then my smile immediately goes away. Crap. I reach over and grab my phone from beside me. I check the time and it says 8:05am. Uh oh. I forgot to set my alarm last night... I need to get Joey out of here before anyone wakes up.
The next thing I know, I hear a door open. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No, this is not happening.
"Kristina, can I come in?" Someone asks.
Shoot it's McKenna.
"Um hold on, I'm getting dressed!" I yell back.
I quickly put a pair of shorts and a t-shirt on so she doesn't wonder why I'm not dressed. Then I run over to the bed and try to get Joey up.
"Joey" I say as shake him lightly. "Joey!" I whisper/shout as I shake him harder. His eyes flutter open and he sits up and rubs them.
"What's going on?" He asked me.
"Kristina, I'm coming in!" McKenna says from the other side of the door.
I look at Joey and he looks at me.
"Where should I hide?" He asks, panicking.
"Uh, get in the closet, go, go, go!" I whisper/shout to him again. He nods and runs inside my closet, closing the doors behind him.
Right as Joey shuts my closet door, McKenna walked in the room.
"What was taking you so long?" She asks as she walks over to me.
"Um I was just-" she cut me off.
"What's that smell?"
"What smell? I don't smell anything." I say to her, now worrying a little.
