"Tonight was great." I smile at Ethan as he walked me up to my porch. We stop in front of my door, and turned toward each other.

"Yeah, it was." He blushes. "I actually didn't expect it to go that... great." He laughs awkwardly. My eyebrow raised. "Whys that?" I ask, a smile still plastered on my face. He rubs the back of his neck.

"Because I'm not that great with girls as pretty as you." His face turns slightly red from embarrassment. I blush with him, but I tried to hide it with my hand. He looks at me, and takes my hand away from my face.

"You shouldn't cover your face. It's too pretty to be covered." He whispers, looking into my eyes. I never noticed how much his eyes glimmer in the light. In which his eyes flickered to my lips and back to my eyes in a second.

"You can kiss me you know?" I smile up at him. "Oh, uh yeah." He shakes his head then looks back at me. Slowly, he leans in close to me with his eyes closed. I leaned in as well.

"Hey! You made it home!" Benny yells, walking through my front door with a sandwich in hand. "I can't believe how much you can eat." Ethan comments.

"I can't believe you're still in my house?!" I question. Sort of question.

"Hey if your friends get to stay," he points a finger at me, "then I get to stay." He points his finger at himself and takes a bite of his sandwich. I roll my eyes. "Did you stay for Autumn?" I question, crossing my arms. He shrugs.

"All of your friends are interesting."

"Benny, we were kind of in the middle of something." Ethan jumps in.

"Ugh, finally you're home! Autumn and Maria made cupcakes!" Alyson freaked. I looked at her weirdly. "What's wrong with that? They're great at baking."

"Yeah, but Alyssa and Benny thought they could compete with theirs and tried to make their own. Now the kitchen is covered in frosting and exploded cake batter." Alyson explains.

I look over at Benny in complete shock, but he just tried to smile at me with a mouth full of his sandwich. "Whatever. I'll, see you later Ethan. Bye." I give him a small wave and hurried through the door. I ran to the kitchen to see my friends trying to scrub the whole room clean. My mouth dropped.

"How did you get this stuff all over the wall?!" I screech. They all looked at me, covered in blue frosting and yellow batter.

"Benny did it!" Maria and Autumn shout at the same time.

"Nah uh! It was Alyson's fault!" Alyssa shouts.

"How was it my fault?!" Alyson asked.

"Guys!" I shout. They all turned their attention towards me in silence.

"So how was you're date?" Maria asked after a minute of silence. I shake my head. "You guys better clean this up." And up the stairs I went.
