"Hey" I say to Rowan who is sitting on her bed on her phone as I close our dorm door. She looks up and gives me a small smile before putting her phone down on her bed side table.

"Hi sorry about earlier, didn't mean to spring it on you." She says as she dangles her feet from her bed and makes her way over to me and gives me a quick hug.

"What are friends for." Is all I say as I hug her back. Although I haven't known her for that long, she really has become someone I can call a friend. She is there when I need her and I the same.

"Yeah. So anyway what you and Kyle doing? And why is he outside?" She asks as she breaks our hug and looks at me.

"Well I thought you were still asleep and I didn't have anything to do. So we hang out for a bit. Also I need to get changed for the party."

"Hmm still have a while before it starts."

"Yeah we are going for food first." I tell her and move towards my wardrobe and dig out my black denim skirt and baby pink jumper and quickly change into them and slip into my pink vans.

"Enjoy!" Rowan says as I make my way towards the door, leaving her sat on my bed.

"Bye." I say and open the door to see him slouching against the wall.

"Took your time." He says as he looks me up and down.

"Yeah well she was up." I tell him as I swat his shoulders as we start walking towards his car.

"What was that for?" He says smirking.

"Looking me up and down. That's not very nice." I tell him and he looks down at his feet and then back up at me.

"Okay okay. I won't do it again."

"Good." I say as we reach his car.

"Or will I?" He remarks as we get inside.

Shortly after getting inside the car, we talk about where to go for food, although we had decided earlier to go to Pizza Hut. The debate goes on for a few minutes until I throw my hands up and let him decide. He starts the car and remains silent until we reach our destination. I don't bother to ask him, because if he wanted me know he would have told me. It's pathetic really, a couple of months ago I would have asked him. I hated surprises but then again he was a surprise and I liked it. At least, I think I liked it or still like.

"Huh, still Pizza Hut?" I say to him as he parks outside.

"Yeah. It's what we decided earlier and when we talked about going somewhere else, we couldn't agree on a place. It was the best solution." He says as he turns the engine off and removes his keys. I guess it was the best solution, we did agree on it earlier and when we got in the car - we tried to go elsewhere and I didn't like anywhere he liked and the same for him.

...

It's actually quite busy in here, suppose it's a Friday night. Prime night for people to go out for food, it didn't take us too long to get a table, although Kyle wanted to leave after waiting five minutes. That was until I reminded him that we had no where else to go for food and I was hungry.

"Would you like the last slice?" He asks. We decided to share a pizza, we got a double pepperoni stuffed crust.

"You can have it. I will be popping out of this skirt if I eat any more." I tell him and he laughs.

"It's not like anyone would notice it, especially with that pink jumper on."

What does he mean 'that pink jumper on', it's a lovely outfit I've got on for tonight. It's not too fancy or too casual.

"I happen to like it." I tell him as I roll my eyes and he laughs again.

"As do I." He tells me before grabbing the last slice and putting it inside his mouth. Is it weird that I am watching that happening.  As soon as our eyes meet, I turn away and pretend I was looking at something else.

"Stare much?"

"You noticed." I say, probably blushing.

"Noticed what? Emerson."
