It's been two hours since Charlie arrived and they played video games for the whole time. Shawn goes to the bathroom.

Charlie: "Why do you have ice on your head? What happened?"

Chloe: "I was running from Shawn and I slipped."

Charlie: "So, there's something between you two?"

Chloe: "Noo, no" I guess.

Charlie: "Uhh okay"

Chloe: "What game are you playing?"

Charlie: "Call of Duty"

Chloe: "Is it difficult?"

Charlie: "No, do you wanna play with me?" OMG.

Chloe: "Yeah, but I don't know how to play."

Charlie: "I'll teach you"

I play like an hour and Shawn is getting angry so I decide to quit. Charlie leaves the house.

Shawn: "You two had fun huh? You should go to his house next time, you totally ignored me."

Chloe: "It's not true, you're so extra. Do you wanna play with me?"

Shawn: "I'm gonna win, Chloe."

Chloe: "Are you sure?"

Shawn: "Yes"

Chloe: "Ugh, you're annoying mr confident."

Shawn: "Just like you"

I like spending time with Shawn. While I'm playing me phone rings.

Chloe: "Hello"

Mom: "Chloe, where are you?!"

Chloe: "I'm at my friend's house, why?"

Mom: "Chloe, it's 8.30pm! When are you coming home?"

8.30pm?! Have I been here more than 4 hours?

Chloe: "I'll be there in 10 minutes, mom."

Mom: "Alone?"

I look at Shawn and he takes my phone from my hand.

Shawn: "Hi lady, I don't know if you remember me but I'm the guy you talked like a week ago, anyway is it a problem if Chloe stays here for tonight?"

Mom: "Well yeah... I mean no, ugh okay"

Shawn: "Perfect"

Mom: "Thanks dear, but tell her that she's grounded."

Shawn: "I'll do it, goodnight."

Mom: "Goodnight"

---------

Chloe: "No Shawn, I'm going home."

Shawn: "Please stay"

He's looking right into my eyes.

Chloe: "But I didn't have dinner yet and I don't know your parents, it's gonna be so embarassing."

Shawn: "You already knew my mom, remember?"

Chloe: "She thinks I'm lesbian."

Shawn: "Good, so they won't ask questions."

Chloe: "They'll do it"

Shawn: "Are you gonna stay?"

Chloe: "Mhh, yes"
