Song for this chapter:The 1975-Girls.

We were all sat down in a booth of the diner food crazed blonde admires, laughing at something idiotic Britney just said a few seconds ago making us all burst into a fit of laughter. By 'we' I mean myself, Gray,Becca, the three blondes, Blake and sadly my brother.

 The smiles between me and Gray hadn't stopped since this morning, even when we weren't looking at each other we were smiling just at the thought of each other. Believe me I can tell since my face was burning with Grayson's intense stares on me every two seconds if I even glanced away from his direction. I did the exact same thing.

The girls had practically forced me to get Gray to drive me home to get my money for my prom dress. So after minutes of bickering over it, I guess we all would be going prom dress shopping after eating food. Besides the three guys of course.

Turns out Becca and Blake are going to prom together, obviously Kimberly and my brother, Gray and I and then Britney and Stacey will be accompanying each other claiming they are 'independent women who don't need no man'.

I would have totally agreed with them ten months ago, but now?

I couldn't say that anymore because I found true love and it was better than anything I had ever or would ever experience in my lifetime. 

Being alone can be nice, but being with the person you love more than anything and knowing they feel the same way about you is an out of world experience that beats being alone any day.

''I was in class and she looks back at me and just stares'' Britney manages to choke out through her laughs.

''I was just like what bitch?'' She waved her hands around like a crazy woman earning odd stares from the family sitting beside us.

I had been too busy being infatuated by Grayson's bright smile to even focus on the story Britney had been telling the group that obviously was funny enough to have the whole table in tears with laughter, including Blake.

''I swear that girl has serious staring issues, I was just on my phone. Like what's the big deal?''.

''She's our teacher, Britt. Of course she's going to have a problem with you on your phone during class when we have life changing tests next month'' Kim commented incredulously from beside her with a snort making me chuckle and Brittney to just roll her eyes at her sister.

The thought of having our SAT's next month was enough to make me want to curl up in a ball with stress and just cry my exam away. But sadly, that wouldn't work and I knew I was going to have to work my butt off if I wanted any chance of getting a full scholarship to  the Culinary Institute of America.

That takes good points to get into and crying wasn't going to make get all A's.

I had a 3.9 GPA and I needed to keep up my results for my SAT's which would probably mean I should have started studying like... last month.

''Libby, you're planning on going to culinary school, right?'' Becca asked rhetorically.

I nodded wondering what was in that head of hers. Becca was really smart, like NYU or Harvard smart but yet she still had no idea what college she wanted to go to although her parents are forcing her to go and she still has yet to decide what she wants to major in.

''So you're basically the only here who actually has her life sorted out and knows what she wants to do for the rest of her life. Help us mortals choose what we should do''.

I smiled awkwardly at Becca and the girls, my life was anything but sorted out but she didn't need to know that. For all they know I had a picture perfect family and I think I liked to keep it that way.
