Walking next to Carmen, Aurora shivers as a cool breeze blows. Goosebumps cover both girls' arms, and while Carmen doesn't say anything about it, she instantly complains, asking for Jonah's hoodie. Chuckling, he hands it over without protest.

"Wow," Carmen gasps, examining the house in the dim evening light. "You guys live here?"

"Yep," Zach replies, jumping back a little as Aurora throws her bags into Carmen's arms and slams grandly through the door.

"Your lives just got better!" Aurora yells, her arms outstretched as she looks at Jack, Corbyn, Daniel, and an unknown girl.

"Thanks, Aurora," Carmen says, stepping into the house behind her.

"No problem," Aurora grins.

With a scowl, Carmen drops the bags onto the floor with a thump.

"Sorry," she apologizes with an innocent smile. "They slipped."

The girl moves quickly to help Carmen pick them up but Zach beats her to it. He slips to Carmen's side instantly, picking up over half the bags and shooting her a boyish grin. She rolls her eyes in return, failing to hold back her own smile.

"Callie," Jack says, wrapping his arm around the girl's shoulders. "Meet Aurora and Carmen."

"Hello!" Callie grins widely, waving at Carmen and Aurora.

"Hi," Carmen waves back. "It's nice to-"

"So you're Callie!" Aurora interrupts excitedly. "Jonah says that Jack always talks about you! I think we were talking about it once when he came into my apartment to raid my fridge-"

"It was your house?" Callie questions.

"Yup! Why? Did he say anything about it?"

"Yeah," Callie smirks, glancing at Jack. "He was wondering whether he should use a pizza for a shield or a peace offering after eating your Cheez-its."

Aurora and Callie break into laughter, seeing as Jack's face grows red in embarrassment.

"Stop laughing," he mutters. "It isn't funny."

He sinks down on the couch, immediately dragging Callie over to sit in his lap. He buries his red face into her shoulder, causing Callie's eyes to widen. She blushes heavily as Aurora winks at her.

"Okay." Jonah ckaos his hands together. "Aurora is planning on spending the night."

"Oh, cool," Callie says. "Do you guys think it would be cool if I spent the night too?"

"Yes!" Aurora fist pumps. "GIRL'S NIGHT!"

"I don't see why you can't spend the night." Zach shrugs his shoulders, looking over at Carmen. "You can stay too, if you want, Carmen."

"Are you trying to sweeten me up?" Carmen teases, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Maybe," Zach winks, not taking his eyes off of her. "Is it working?"

"Okay, I'm spending the night," Callie states before Carmen can answer. "But we have a problem."

"What's that?" Jack asks.

"What am I going to wear for pyjamas?"

"You can just wear some of my clothes," Jack offers casually, causing Callie's cheeks to heat up.

"O-okay," she stutters quietly.

"Come on, I'll take you to my room."

"Mr. Avery!" Callie's gasps as he stands up. "I don't do that until after the first date!"
