When I wake up I decided to text back Alexa.

Me: Good and shut up😑
Alexa: R u guys dating yet?!!!
Me: Oh god no! We r just friends😌
Alexa: Sureeeee😂
Me: Bye Alexa ttyl💞
Alexa: Bye😊have fun with Romeo😉😍

Right when I read that text I hear a knock on my door.

"Come in!" I say.

It's Romeo.

"Hey Emily, we have to leave in a 1/2 hour." He says.

"Ok! Is that what your wearing?" I ask.
He is wearing the same thing that he has worn all day.

"That's another reason I came in here. Can u pick out a tennis outfit for me?" He asks while smirking.

"Oh Mr. Burberry model can't chose is own tennis outfit?!!" I say jokingly.

"Or maybe I'm to lazy." He says while laughing.

"Ughhhh!" I say as a joke.

He grabs my hand and drags me to his room. I open his closet and it's HUGE. It's probably worth millions of dollars, cool.

"Tennis clothes are in the second drawer on the left." He says.

I open it, I rummage though and find a grey and black Nike t-shirt with black and white Nike shorts.

"Here wear this." I say handing the outfit to him.

"Thanks a lot Em." He says smiling.

His smile is so contagious.

"Anytime." I say smiling back.

I walk out and get my phone and jacket. I walk down stairs to wait.

"Hey Emily. What are you doing down here?" Brooklyn asks as he walks in.

"I'm going to watch Romeo play tennis. He's changing." I say.

"Oh cool. I'll take you guys." He says.

"Ok great." I say.

Romeo walks down in his outfit and his tennis bag.

"Ready?" Brooklyn asks.

Romeo and I nod.

When we get there Romeo introduces me to some of his tennis friends.

"Hey guys this is Emily, my... uh.... friend." He says nervously.

Why was there such a long pause before friend. Does he want to be more than friends? Nah a celebrity would never date me. He probably thinks we are less than friends. Ughhhh!!!

"Hey Emily I'm Miles and that is Samuel, Ethan, Hazel, and Cole." Miles says.

"Hey everyone!" I say excitedly.

"C'mon guys, it's time to practice!" The coach says.

"Bye Emily." Romeo says.

"Bye everyone!" I say back.

I sit in the bleachers next to Brooklyn. After a few minutes of awkward silence Brooklyn asks,

"So are you and Romeo dating yet?"

I look up immediately.

"Wait what?!" I say surprised.

"Oh sorry. Didn't mean to make it awkward." Brooklyn says while laughing.

"It's okay Brooklyn. Has Romeo said anything about me?" I ask.

What if Romeo talks about me. That would be great, I guess.

"He's just said that you and him have become really close really quickly. But I've seen a lot of fans talking about how you guys are dating." Brooklyn says.

"Yeah, that's really annoying. We've only known each other for a few days." I say.

"Yeah, I totally understand. That's happened to me before. Just ignore it and don't let fans change how you live your life." He says kindly.

"Thanks a lot Brooklyn. And yeah, I try to ignore them but my Instagram keeps blowing up." I say as my phone buzzes.

"Your famous Emily, get used to it." He says while laughing.

Me, Emily, famous? That still blows my mind.

For the rest of Romeo's practice we talk a little more and watch him. When Romeo finishes he walks towards us.

"Good job Romeo." I say.

"Thanks Em." He says while smiling.

Romeo looks at his phone and jerks his head towards Brooklyn.

What was he trying to do?

"Let me take a picture of you guys." Brooklyn says.

"Okay!" We both say.

Romeo puts his arm around me we both smile. The picture is really cute.

"I'll send it to you guys." Brooklyn says.

"Thanks!" I say. Romeo smiles.

We drive home and the whole way there Romeo was on his phone.

That's kinda rude. What is he doing?
