Ryan - Saturday 9:20

Emma and I have been best friends for a long time. I've known her and Savanna for a long time. So when the date between Emma and Ashton was over, we were all equally eager to talk about it the next morning in our group chat.

From Savanna :P - Okay we gave you your time... NOW TALK!!!

To Savanna :P, and Emi :D - YEAH!! I wanna know everything

From Emi :D - It was nice :)

From Savanna :p - ...

To Savanna :P, and Emi :D - ... that's all we get? That's not everything!

From Emi :D - It's too much to say over text. Let's meet up at yours Ryan?

To Savanna :P, and Emi :D - That's good. Come over now!!!

"Cal!" I screamed to the other room, but coughed right after.

"Yeah?" He yelled back. He then walked in my room afterwards.

"Em and Savanna are coming over. Talk about the date yesterday." I said quietly, I didn't wanna hurt my voice anymore than before.

He nodded and went back to his room. I yawned. I got dressed, into Calum's shirt and my sweatpants. When the girls got here, that were we wearing the same thing. Emma was wearing Ashton's shirt I think. Was Savanna wearing... Michael's?

"Savanna, who's shirt are you wearing?" I asked with a smile.

"Uhhh." She trailed off. The redness of her cheeks grew.

"Michael's." Emma winked. I had a growing smile on my face.

"You and Michael?" I asked loudly. She shyly nodded and I hugged her tightly.

"Have you gone on a date yet?" I asked, my voice quiet again.

"No. I slept at his house though." She smiled. Her shyness finally disappearing.

"As in, with him? Like did you..?" Emma asked. Savanna shook her head a lot.

"In his bed, but just sleeping...and cuddling." She smiled. "He gave me one of his shirts when I spilled water on myself."

"That happened to me on my first date with Calum. He gave me his boxers too!" I winked. The girls laughed, and we sat on the couch.

"Anyway, Emma, how was your date?" I asked her. She blushed, which was very strange because she's the most outgoing person I know. She barely ever gets shy.

"It was the best date I've ever been on." She smiled. Savanna and I smiled too, we were happy she's happy.

"How so? I crashed it? Sorry bout that." I chuckled.

"That made it better I think. It was kinda awkward until you came. When you left we started talking about better- less awkward- things. It started with talking about how dumb you were..." she paused as we all laughed, "and then we got a good conversation going. It was truly amazing. Most dates of mine are awkward the whole time. So thanks for crashing, I guess?"

"Your welcome." I said.

"Hey, I think we should get Autumn over here and spend the whole day together. And sleep over." Savanna suggested. I nodded at the idea and slipped my phone out to call her. It rang only twice before she picked up.

"Hey Ry." She said cheerfully.

"Hi Fall. Savanna and Emma are here, you should come too, we spend the whole day together, and you all sleepover here. Sound good?" I asked, she nodded after a while of thinking.

"Sounds good. I'll be over in twenty minutes." She then hung up on me. I texted her next.

To Fall :3 - bring money. I wanna go to the mall.

"You guys got money?" I asked them, they nodded.

"Yeah, why?" Savanna asked me.

"We should go to the mall." I said.

"Yes! Good idea!" Emma said with a single clap when saying 'yes'. It took exactly twenty minutes for autumn to get here. She was dressed in black leggings and a cute cat tee shirt. Her hair was in a braid and she had jewelry in.

"Wow I feel over dressed!" She laughed and set her back with sleepover stuff in it down.

"You're not in dress code." I said seriously. I cracked and bursted out laughing.

"Sorryyy." She dragged out the y's. "I want aware there was one!" She smiled.

12:15

We finally go to the mall, after taking forever to get Emma finish getting ready. I drove, and I turned the radio off. It was a song I didn't recognize, but the others new it by heart. So they sang their hearts out. I kinda blocked it out by focusing on the road. They weren't bothering me by doing that though. Their happiness brought me Joy. I thought for a little as well.

"You mind if I invite Calum's sister Mali?" I asked. She was my first girl best friend, and she told me we need to hang out more. Autumn was the only one who ever met her, and they hit it off right away.

"Yes." Autumn said, who was sitting shotgun, "I love her."

"Calum's sister?" Savanna asked.

"Yeah, she doesn't live far from where we are now. "

"Invite her then!" Emma said, I smiled.

"Ugh. People." Savanna said under her breath. But it was loud enough to make everyone laugh.

I pulled over and pressed the phone button on the steering wheel.

"Hello?" She picked up after barely one ring.

"Hey, Mal. I was wondering if you wanna come to the mall my friends and I, then sleepover at my house." I said.

"I'd love to. I've been doing nothing all day. I'll tell my mom."

"Okay, well get there in five minutes. but you don't have to rush. Bye."

" Mm 'Kay. Bye." She said before I pressed the end call button. I started to drive again, but instead went to her house. When we got there, I parked across the street. Only I got out, and I walked to the front door. I knocked and waited about a minute before Joy opened the door.

"Hello Hun!" She said excitedly. "Mali's not quite ready yet. But feel free to relax!"

"Thanks, and nice to see you Joy!" I replied. Not to much later, Mali came down with a back pack and her purse. We hugged and greeted each other before I walked her out to the car.
