"Does this scream fourth of July spirit or what?" Melanie laughs showing me this hideous dress that looks skin tight and has american flags and beer bottles all over it.

The two of us are out shopping at the mall for our 4th of July outfits. 4th of July week is the week we are camping which we are leaving for on Saturday the first , so 3 days away. It's a lot of fun at the campground we go to, everyone is just so nice to anyone and everyone. It is about a mile or so from Old Orchard Beach in Scarabourogh and is called Tommy's. The place is huge, has nice facilities, entertainment every night, 4 pools and a trolly that goes to the beach for free.

"These are actually cute," Mel shows me a pair of light denim high-waist shorts with stars on the left leg and red and white stripes on the right leg. I nod agreeing with her statement, "You try them on, high waisted shorts don't work well with me, they just fall down from my lack of an ass," Shelaughs and throw them to me.

We continue to browse Forever 21 inorder to find our perfect outfits. I found a white v-neck crop top to go with my shorts and Melanie has found a white tank top that has a spray painted flag affect on it and just white shorts.

"Should we move onto John's outfit now?" Mel asks and we both laugh.

You see every year when we go shopping for our outifits we get John an outift. John's outfit is always the most ugliest shirt we can find. He only wears it because Mel says she picked it out specially for him and we worked hard to find it for him, then we both do the puppy dog look and it normally gets him wearing it.

While searching through the racks of Sears I come across this hideous pair of shorts that just aren't flattering in any aspect. They are like white workout shorts but they have red solo cups forming lines and in the corner of the left leg they are blue with white ping pong balls. So basically the American flag but with the components of beer pong. I grab them in John's size and bring them over to Mel who is looking through the shirts. I tap her shoulder and she turns arounds and laughs at the shorts.

"The real question is, should we get matching shorts for the other three boys?" We look at each other and smirk," You ask them what size they are and while we wait we will look for shirts,"

To Wesley:

What size pants and shirts are you, Keaton and Drew? Thanksss

"Ugly shirts or regular shirts?" Mel asks me while holding regular v-neck shirts and then these weird some sort of tie dye type deign with red,white and blue shirts. I point to the regular shirts, if we choose the ugly shirts they will know we did this on purpose.

While grabbing John's size shirt my phone rings with the text from Wesley giving us their sizes. We grabbed their outfits and then check out. Then start to drive home.

"Ya know at the beach the other week you seemed pretty cozy with Drew," Melanie says. I give her a look as to say where are you getting at with this. She continues, "Do you, ya know, have crush on him?" I laugh and shake my head, "You have to have a crush on one of them because you came out with us and you would never do that!" I raise my eyebrows at her and shake my head to say I don't like any of them.

You little liar you. You like Wesley and you know it.

"Do you like Keaton?" She asks and I wave my hand to ask what she means by 'like', "As a friend" I nod.

Don't blush when she mentions his name, you know she will. Be strong. Take one for the imaginary team in your head.

"So what about Wesley?" She asks and I put my head down to hide the blush that I couldn't control, "You like him!!" She squeals and does a little dance.

You have failed us. I'm disappointed.

"Aw, you guys would look so cute! I ship it. Don't worry, I won't tell John." She squeals some more and doesn't stop for about another 2 minutes until we are in my driveway.

We get out of the car and head to the trunk to get our bags. The boys are outside playing basketball and skating and when they see us they wave.

"Hey ladies!" Wes says walking over to us with Keaton and Drew. Mel nudges my arm and then raises her eyebrows multiple times and I roll my eyes and hit her leg with my hip, "Why did you need to know our sizes?"

"Oh when we go camping we buy John a fourth outfit so he can get in the spirit because we all know he wouldn't pack one, but we thought we would get you his outfits too," Mel explains as I sit against her car.

"So can we see the outfits?" Drew asks going for the bags. Mel and I pull the bags away and shake our heads.

"No! They are surprises! Just know that we worked really hard picking them out for you," Mel says before looking at me and us laughing.

We head into my house and we put the bags in my room while the guys wait in the living room. We enter the living room and sit down on the couch or floor. Keaton and I are on the floor while Drew and Wesley sit on the couch behind us and Melanie sits in the couch that sits one person. 

We have random conversations to get to know each other a little more, like our favorite movies, songs, colors, bands/singers. I just texted Mel my answers and she said them out loud. 

"John just texted me saying, I'm on my way home with  our Wednesday pizza night pizza. Tell K to stop being a sarcastic ass to my texts. Bye, see you soon, love you" Mel says and everyone laughs at the last part, "Kelly, stop being a sarcastic ass to John. What were you even saying?" I show her my phone and she laughs. 

"I wanna see," Keaton says so I show the guys too. Maybe showing Wes a little longer than everyone else, but hey he was holding my hips while reading them so. 

"What's Wednesday pizza night?" Wes asks. 

"Well I think it's pretty self explanatory," she sarcasticly says and I giggle just a little, "but that's when John, Kells and I eat pizza from the box while sitting on the living room floor watching movies," Mel explains. 

"That sounds fun" Keaton says and with that I quickly text Melanie.

To Jerkface;):

can we invite them to it?

She looks at her phone when it vibrates and looks at me with raised eyebrows. 

 From Jerkface;):

you just wanted to spend some more time staring at Wes didn't you?

To Jerkface;): 

Not just staring. 

From Jerkface;):

You're lucky I like the thought of you guys being together and that John already texted them saying to come.

All throughout our texting cnversation we make faces at each other and do some hand signals telling the other that they are number 1 and the boys are completly oblivious. Dumb butts. 

"Pizza's here! and so am I" John says and we all run to him, for the pizza of course. We grab the pizza and go back to the living room. I sit next to Wes and Mel while Keats and Drew sit across from us, "Well hello to you too guys, and yes my day was fine thatnks for asking," John laughs as he sits down next to Melanie. 

"Sorry bae, I like pizza more than you," Melanie says and then kisses him. Then we all dig into the pizza.

I really like this.
