I woke up the next day groaning at the fact it was Thursday. Which meant I had to get schooling done. I'd decided to stay home this week due to a bunch of work stuff going on. I also had to pack for New York. I rolled over running my hands over my face and grabbing my phone and noticing like seventy notifications. I groaned unlocking my phone and opened twitter. I took a quick selfie, my face embezzled in the sheets and tweeted it with 'I woke up like this.'

I rolled out of bed seeing a notification pop up from Erika. "Morning creep. :3" I smiled and headed to my bathroom to get ready while texting her.

"Morning freak. Feel bad for not giving you a morning text. " I brushed my teeth and jumped into the shower quickly. When I was done, I headed back to my room a towel around my waist and texting her back when she replied.

"It's not a big deal. I mean we aren't even a thing so."

"Did you hear that? That's my heart shattering."

"Aw Shawn I just suspected we weren't. Ya know? I mean we don't really know each other that much."

"We've kissed like three times already. I think we know each other. Come on quiz me."

"Middle name."

"Roslyn."

"What kinda name is that?"

"That's not it?"

"Not even close. It's Bella."

"Erika Bella Wheeler. Good to know."

"Favorite color."

"Green."

"Good guess."

"How do you know that was a guess?"

"I suspected."

"You suspect a lot of things. Don't you?"

"Would you shut up Mendes?"

"Ok."

"Shawn. "
"Hello?"
"This isn't funny."

But it was. I laughed as she accepted it and I got dressed.

"You told me to shut up did you not?"

"I was joking."

"Ugh huh."

"You're retarded."

"Am not."

"Yeah you are."

"Am not."

"I'm not arguing about this."

"Fine then."

"Back to your quiz."

"Shoot."

"Favorite singer."

"Ed Sheeran or 5 Seconds of Summer."

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS."

"I told you I know you."

"That's creepy."

"No it's not. It's called I've seen your music library on your phone and that's all you have."

"You scared me."

"I know I did. Thus the all caps."

At this point in the conversation I was downstairs at the breakfast table waiting for her to reply. "Well that's unlike you to not say good morning." My mom spoke.
