Onward And Sideways (Completed.)

Chapter 21

The next evening, I was positively giddy. I still couldn't believe that that actually happened. I had my first boyfriend! That's so freaking wild to me.

I bustled around the apartment, making sure everything was ready for people to get here.
As a final touch, I put on one of those fireplace things on the T.V that played Christmas music, before I heard the first knock on the door.

I opened it to reveal Ally and Ira.
Being in this comepletely foregn mood, I squeeled, hugging them both.

Ally pat my back awkwardly before we seperated.

"Are you okay?" She asked, laughing quietly.

The huge smile never left my face. A part of me was fully aware that I looked like a lunatic, possibly a charecter in a really freaky horrar movie, but I seemed to be incapable of calming down. So I just nodded.

"Yep! Fantastic! A thing happened, a very 'thingey' thing, and I can't wait to tell you all about it-" I was cut off by the buzzer, signaling somebody who didn't live in the building was here.

I held up 1 finger to signal, before answering the intercom.

"Hello?" I spoke.

Sam's voice answered. "Hey, Fable! Can we come in?"

I buzz them in, and wait at the door.

"The boys are here, I'll tell you later." I tell the girls.

Ally crosses her arms. "That's not fair. Now I'm dying to know." She pouts.

I laugh, before letting the boys in.
It's Sam, Colby, Aaron, Cory, Elton, and their prospective girfriends. I greet them all, hugging them all quickly, before getting the door for Lucy.

Sam laughs at me. "Dang, you're in a good mood. Whats up?"

Ally speaks up. "She was about to tell us before you guys came in."

They all look at me expectantly, eyebrows raised in question.
I open my mouth to answer, in some way at least, but am again interupted by the buzzer.

I apologise to everyone. "I'm sorry, one second, I swear." I state before answering the intercom.

"Hello?"

Ethan's voice crackles over the line. "Hey Fay-Fay! I brought the team. Can we come up?"

I laugh. "One sec." I answer, letting them in. I turn around to the expectant group already in my living room.

"Let me let them in, then I'll explain." I say, walking back to let Teamaplier in.

In walked Mark, Tyler, Kathrine, Amy, and my blue bear.
They all said hello to me before going off to talk to the others.
But Ethan stayed with me.

"Hi Ethan." I greet him before wrapping my arms around his waist.

He returned the hug, arms wrapping around me and his chin resting on my shoulder. "Hey, Fay." He replied.

We stayed like that for a second. Not long enough for it to be weird, but we were brought back to reality by the awkward clearing of a throat.

Seperating, we turned to the assembled crowd, all of whom where staring at us.

Ally, still stood with her arms crossed, now looked me in the eye with an eyebrow raised, one corner of her mouth pulled up.

"Fay-Fay?" She repeated Ethan's earlier words as a question.

I looked at Ethan for help, raising an eyebrow. Mentally thinking should I tell them? Now? Is it okay?
He shrugged, motioning with his head toward his squad. I could imagine his thought. I don't know. I already told my friends.
