Matchmaking

«Shannon»

"Hey." I answer the phone. Someone called me awake.

"Morning Shannon. I just wanted to let you know that you have to get up or you'll be late." I hear Livia say.

"Okay. I'll see you soon." I reply and end the call. I do my morning routine and grab an apple for breakfast.

Shortly after I ate my apple Alex is jogging down the stairs with his sport bag.

"Oh crap... I forgot about practise clothes." I mutter and run upstairs. I grab a sports bag and throw in a neon pink sports bra, a light shirt to cover it and my work out shorts, running shoes and a pair of socks.

I zip up and run down and grab my car keys and hop in. Alex slides into the passenger seat and buckles up.

"Let's go." he says and I pull out and drive to school.

Once at school we go to the lockers and I find Livia standing there on her phone.

"I have some news!" She says and looks at me while I pack my books and stuff my sports bag into the locker.

"Tell me." I say and she smiles.

"Me, and Dave has a thing going on." She says and my eyes widen.

"Wow... Really?" I ask.

"Yes. We started to chat yesterday and I can't help but feel butterflies everytime I get a message from him." She smiles lovingly and I grin.

The bell rings and we all make our way to class.

Lunch soon approached and I bought me, Livia and Alex some fries and a burger before I walked to our usual table. I sighed and looked at Livia sitting next to Alison. Dave sat on the other side of her and she had a grin on her face. I walked to the centre table and smiled.

"Alex." I hand him his food and I set mine down on my space.

"Who wants this? I bought one to many." I ask and Raven rolls her eyes.

"There is probably poison in it." She mutters and I shoot her a glare.

"Want to find out?" I ask and hold it out for her to take. She huffs and I look around.

"I'll take it." Sheldon says and I smile at him. He is sitting at the space next to me.

I hand it to him and we all eat and chat. Every now and then I would glance at Livia and see she is laughing and smiling.

At least I can go to her party tomorrow.

"Let's do 5 laps, 30 situps, 5 laps again and then we can work on our pass techniques." Cody announced and we all nodded and began to do the exercise.

I did everything and sat out while they all did the passing practise.

About an hour later Cody said we could head home because it was Friday and our first practise so he would have some mercy.

We drove home and ate some pasta once we got at the house.

I was tired to say the least but Alex looked fine. I bet he did that everyday as a warmup.

I went to bed early while he played some Playstation 4 in the living room. I played with him for about half an hour but grew tired and decided to go to sleep.

«…»

My eyes opened slowly at the sound of my alarm.

I hopped out of bed and got dressed and did my morning routine. After that I saw Alex spawled out on the couch with the game controller on his lap.

I ran out and drove to Livia's house.

I went in. Greeted her parents and we were off to her cousins party. I remembered her present,  luckily.

"So what did you get her?" I ask and she smiles.

"I got her a unicorn pillow." She says and I nod my head. We chatted till we got there and once I parked we got out. I walked into the yard with the teddy under my arm.

We walked and I saw a little girl run upto us. She hugged my legs and smiled.

"Hi Shannon!" She greeted.

"Hey Rivi." I use her nick name and hug her back.

"Rivera. Come back inside!" her mother yells and she quickly greets Livia and runs in. It looks like it's going to rain and we go indoors.

I put the presents on the table with the rest of the gifts.

The rest of the party went by like this: Me and Livia talked for about an hour on the porch while looking at the small girls and boys playing tag then we went inside. Sang happy Birthday. Ate some unicorn cake. And then talked again.

"So... How is Dave?" I ask.

"He's great. But I actually get now why you like Liam more. He is more mysterious." She says and my eyes widen.

"Yes." I simply reply. I'm one of those people that will try to be one of a kind. If I see you have the exact same shirt as me I will never wear mine again. If you like something I like. I will make you dislike it. I admit sometimes it's cute when a couple wears matching stuff. But don't try to be me because I'm one of a kind. I will only do it with a couple, not just because.

"I don't like him tho." She says and I smirk she knows what kind of person I am.

"Good. Want to head home?" I ask and she nods.

"We can have a sleep over." She smiles and I nod. We bid goodbye too all the people and leave for my house.

I see the lights are still on and I smile. Alex is still up.

I pull in and we enter the house.

"Hey. We're home!" I exclaim and I hear Alex chuckle from the living room.

I walk to him and see him playing Playstation 4 again. I look behind him and see Cody and Sheldon sitting there along with Max.

"Hey guys." I greet and they all look at me and Livia.

"Hey. Hope you don't mind but we're crashing in your backyard tonight. We brought our own tents." Max smiles and I look at Sheldon who is staring at my legs. I'm wearing a summers dress.

"You gals can join? We have room." Sheldon smirks and I roll my eyes.

"What do you want to do Livy?" I ask and she smiles shyly as Max looks at her. Cody and Alex are playing a racing game.

"Uhm... Sure why not?" She says and I smirk.

"Fine, we'll join you guys." I say and sit next to Cody and Livia sits next to Alex.

This is going to be interesting.
