"Sit," Aaron instructs, smiling lightly, easing some of my anxiety. He's never actually smiled at me, he usually scowls and glares. I sit down.

I am still quite nervous around Taylor and Aaron, especially Taylor because he always seemed to go out of his way to be extra mean to me.

Cameron comes back in and sits across from me, and starts picking his nails. Why is he so nervous? His apprehension is making me apprehensive.

" Look Annaliese," Aaron says, finally breaking the silence. " We all wanted to meet here with you so Taylor and I could apologize."

"Yeah, we're really sorry. We're a bunch of fuck-ups," Taylor says, looking down.

"I don't even know why we started treating you like that, we were just being asshole." Aaron continued "Forgive us?"

"Yeah, the past is the past, guys. Thank you,"  I respond.

"So..Friends?" Taylor says grinning.

I nod, "Friends."

"Best Friends!?" he adds, making me laugh.

I nod again "Best Friends."

"YAYY!" he hops to his feet with open arms, asking for a hug.

I stand and hug him and Aaron joins in.

"Okay, me and Aaron gotta go," Taylor says finally realesing me.

"Cool," Cameron says and stands, walking them to the door. "See ya later, guys!" followed a slam of the front door shutting. He comes back in, sits silently and starts picking his nails again.

Nash finally says something, breaking the silence. "Annaliese?"

"Yeah?"

"We wanted to talk to you, too."

"Alright, what is it?"

"You know we like you, soo...." Cameron chimes in. "Which one of us do you like?"

"What?"

"Who do you want, Annaliese?" Matt clarifies in slow words. Why does he always do that? It's hot..Wait a minute, FOCUS.

Are they out of their damn minds? I barely know any of them. None of us have even been on 1 date yet! "None of you!"

"What?!" they all say simultaneously, snapping their heads in my direction so quick, I'm surprised I didn't hear necks crack. I can even see the color flushing from each of their faces. 

"I mean, I like all of you, but I barely know you guys, " I add, allowing them to breath again. "We shout at least get to know each other before I choose, you know?"

"Ok, that's a good idea, take as long as you need." Cameron says, smiling.

"Great."

It's Friday. The day of me and Nash's date. I already told Cam I couldn't study with him tonight and he was going to dinner with his family anyway.

I arrive at my house after school and go up to my room to do my homework. After about an hour and a half, I finish. I go downstairs to get a snack and watch t.v.

While I'm watching re-runs of Pretty Little Liars, my phone buzzes, alerting me that I recieved a text.

Picking you up at 7, be ready ;)
