I got in the back behind Kayla's seat and took my phone out of my back pocket.
    "Hey, baby. How are you?" Theo asked turning around to look at me
    "Ya how you been girrrrl" Kayla said as she started the car up
    "Umm... I have been good" I said as I looked at my phone, "what's the wifi password for this car," I asked.
"SummerVibes. No spaces and the S in summer and the V in vibes are capital." Kayla said with a smile
I nodded and entered in the wifi password into my phone. I got onto my Snapchat and saw that Theo messaged me
    'You look hella good in that outfit'
' umm thank you' I text back
'You know you could have worn something a little more revealing' he responds
'We are going to the movies no one is going to see me like this besides you and Kayla' I responded
'Ya but I want to see more of my girl' Theo texted
'Well not tonight'
'Fine don't be such a bitch about it'
Theo was ok. He was a typical lacrosse player and I usually just looked past it. I know he is going through a lot and that's why he is like this.
    Once we arrived at the theater we parked near the front and got out of the car. Since I was tired from practice so Theo carried me on his shoulders into the movies. I am really short so being up this high is fun. I looked around the theater at all the people walking around us. I hopped off his back and walked up the concession stand. We ordered a large popcorn and a small popcorn. We also got a medium coke and red icy with some red vines and M&Ms. we got our tickets to see the movie "Crazy Rich Asians." Theo and I sat in the back of the theater and Kayla sat near the front. During the movie, Theo reached for my hand and I hesitated. He looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I tried to focus on the movie but he kept insisting. I eventually let him hold my hand. He took this opportunity and moved his hand to my thigh. I shivered and looked at his hand. I moved a little to try and get his hand off but it was no use. His hand stayed on my thigh for the rest of the movie and everyone in a while he would move it closer.
After the movie ended i got up and went to the bathroom. I looked into the mirror and sighed. It's all fine. I said to myself. I walked out trying to overlook that Theo did in the theater. We all got into Kayla's car and drove to Theo's house. Kayla stopped the car. Theo and I got out and heard Kayla yell,
"I'll just go home. You two lovebirds have fun tonight."
I rolled my eyes and put on a fake smile. We began walking up to his house and all I could think about was what might happen that night.
We walked into the door and he took my hand.
"My parents aren't home so we can do whatever we want tonight" he said with a little shake in his shoulders
"I'm really tired. I don't know if I'm up for something like that tonight" I said
"Come on I can do everything" he said
"No Theo I'm just not up for it. I'll just sleep with Nakia" I said as I tried to get his hand off of my arm. Nakia tried to get my attention and Theo let go of my arm. I bent down and pet Nakia. I got some pillows and a blanket and cuddled with Theo's dog that night 
The next morning woke up around 4:30 and decided that I could walk home and avoid anything awkward. Walking back in the morning made it feel like my house was so far away but in reality, it was only a mile and a half walk and being super groggy and tired didn't help.
Once I made it home I took out my key and tried to open the door quietly. My father was home and it was a school day so I would get in trouble if he caught me. I rubbed my eyes and walked upstairs. Oso trailed at my feet with excitement. Once I was at the top of the stairs I tried to get to my room as quietly as possible but all odds were against me and my father pocked his head out of his door with a smile
"Good morning Olivia," he said rubbing his head. He looked at Oso and patted his legs for the dog to come. Oso ran to my dad with excitement in his step.
"Did I wake you, dad," I asked "I was just getting some water before I started getting ready for school"
"No I was already up I just wanted to say good morning" he yawned
"Ok well I have to get ready for school," I said walking over to him and kissing his cheek.
I walked into my room and went into my closet. As I searched for clothes I thought about last night. I'm normally ok with sleeping in Theo's bed but last night it just felt a little bit weird. It's nothing.
"I love him," I said to myself to make myself believe it was true. I shook my head. I finally grabbed a long sleeved mustard knitted shirt with long blue jeans that were slightly ripped on the legs. I slipped my blue converse on and walked over to my vanity. I pulled out my straightener and turned it on. I grabbed all my makeup and sat at down at the mirror. It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes for my makeup and about 45 minutes for my hair. Once I was satisfied with my look I looked at the clock and saw it was 7:15. I walked down the stairs and grabbed my backpack that was sitting on the ground in the kitchen. My dad smiled at me and began to speak,
"Do you want some avocado toast"
"No I'm good but can I get a ride to school today? And when is my car out of the shop?" I asked with keys in my hand.
"It will be out tomorrow during school. I will take my break and get it and drop it off at your school so you can drive home from school."
"Thanks, dad," I said with excitement. I smiled and looked at the time. I needed to be at school at 7:45 and it was 7:25, "We need to go now please dad" my dad nodded at what I said and grabbed his keys.
