           MILEA'S POV

-Week later-

Today I am sitting in my Calculus class with the squad. I love Calculus, it's super simple. So every now and then Bella would ask me for help as to how I got the answer that I got. I would then help her to get to the answer.

The girls and I decided to go to lunch somewhere today. Not sure where we're going Ava and Bell wanted it to be a suprise.

The day went by fairly quickly. I had music then it was lunch again.

In music we needed to try and work on a piece that Louis was giving us.

To be honest, it was really tricky trying to play this piece on the piano. It was a fun struggle when you've got Connor and Louis making you laugh throughout the entire learning process. I honestly couldn't play the piano properly because I was crying of laughter so much. I was at the verge of wetting my pants.

At lunch today I ate this salad that was served. My gosh, was it good. Everyone seemed so excited today at lunch, and I didn't know why. Even Aiden gave a hearty chuckle at Liam's stupid puns.

-Later-

Ava, Bell and I headed to this new pizza place called Luigis. It was really vibey. There was some really cool music playing and the staff were on rollerscates.

The pizzas there were huge, and looked delicious. The best part was, thst their prices were reasonable.

There's three of us, and we're all so different. Therefore a variety was needed. We had three extra large pizzas in front of us.

We all gave each other the 'are you ready' look. Then we dug in. It was so good.

We spoke about tons of things. It varied from small basic things like what deoderant we used all the way uptil what we'll name our kids.

Then Bella came up with a wonderful idea. "Sleepover at my house on Friday?" Ava and I agreed. Milea smirked, "Ava and I will bring snacks and movies along." Ava nodded "Milea, I'll pick you up. I mean afterall I am your lift in the morning and at home time." Bella smiled and clapped her hands. "I'll supply you guys with tons of food." Ava chuckled and rolled her eyes, "See she's she's a netball player and look at this diet. Yet she stays beautiful and fit." Bella smirked, "I have a fast metabolism honey pie. Don't be jealous. Okay, and I run."

We then took multiple selfies. We took so much that our phone was like. No more storage space left.

Okay, to be fair. All the selfies were taken on Bell's phone yet mine still complained about the storage.

Then the struggle began, I had to remove files. Now the stupid part was that I literally had nothing more to delete. Then you get my phone that still complains about the storage.

I put my phone down and grabbed another slice of pizza. "Stupid question, but why does Aiden dislike me so much? What did I ever do to him?"

Ava stared at me sympatheticly while Bella spoke. "You see, our close friendship circle doesn't extend very far. Now we like to think that we're nice people. But we make sure we're civil with everyone not necessarily close with them. Do you get me? Trust, is a huge deal in this friendship. If you break our trust once it takes really hard to gain it again. Aiden is a sweetheart, it's just that he takes really long to warm up to people. His never sure how long people are going to stick around."

Ava glanced at Bell as to say 'shut up now'. Bell quickly chuckles, "But hey where was I? Oh right, his a sweetie."

I nodded.

"Everyone was so jumpy today. I've never seen you guys this excited in a while." Ava smiled, "Oh yeah, well our friend is coming home tomorrow." I nodded. "Oh cool."

We then payed the bill and headed home. Ava dropped me off last since my mom insisted to stay for dinner.

Although we both couldn't eat much we managed. I honestly love how Ava is fitting into my family. It's honestly so crazy. Our mom's became good friends and our dad's too. It's lovely to have made such good friends in such  a short space of time.

I quickly excused myself as I went to the bathroom. When I came downstairs I saw Ava and my mom busy baking chocolate chip cookies.

I chuckled. I missed these good old days. I'm not sure when last my mom made chocolate chip cookies.

I headed downstairs and helped them.
