andrea's pov:

"your mom told me you didn't
come home last night. what was
that all about?" chloe asked me as
we were both eating junk food as
she put on netflix on my laptop. i
smiled as she spoke, remembering
the night. "don't tell me?" she
caught on to my smile and then
squealed. "did you and shawn?"
i his my face in my bag of chips
and she pulled them away from me.
"you have to tell me everything." she
insisted so we sat facing each other.

"ok, we went to starbucks after the
studio and then he took me back to
his condo and we spoke for a while.
the next thing i knew was we were
kissing and then things moved
forward pretty quickly from there."
i bit my lip from thinking back to it.
"oh my god." chloe squealed. "you
have to tell me all of the juicy details.
what was he like? how was your first
time?" she started hitting me with
a bunch of questions and i started
feeling overwhelmed.
"chloe, breathe. let me answer." i
grabbed her arms and we held onto
each other's arms. "it was amazing."
chloe squealed as soon as i replied
and all i could do was laugh.

"thank god you're no longer an 18
year old virgin." chloe blurred out
and i hit her arm.
"i told you, i never really connected
to anyone before."
"oh, but you and shawn connected."
she teased me and did a growl with
her voice. i rolled my eyes and we
continued to talk and eat before
we found something to watch at
last. i grabbed my bag of chips off
chloe and began eating them again.

my phone vibrated and i picked it
up to see that shawn was facetiming
me. i answered it and placed the bag
of chips down. "hey." i smiled and
saw him smile back.
"hey. how are you doing?" he ran his
fingers through his hair. he was
shirtless and looked exhausted but he
still liked adorable at the same time.
"i'm amazing." i subtly winked at him
and he chuckled out.
"me too." he smiled down nervously.
chloe walked back in the room after
grabbing a drink from downstairs.
"hey, so your mom is wandering
if you want chinese or pizza tonight?"
she spoke, without looking up from
her phone. i turned to her and pulled
a thinking face.
"chinese." i replied. she looked up
from her phone and noticed me
holding mine up.
"ooh is that lover boy?" she yelled
out to embarrass me and jumped
on the bed next to me to see shawn
on the screen. "hey lover boy." she
waved. shawn waved back and i
flung my head back to the wall.
"hey. do you want me to call you
later?" he offered and i pulled my
head back to face him. chloe bit down
on one of her chips loudly. i stared
across at her before back at shawn on
the screen.
"yeah, that might be a good idea.
chloe here, won't stop annoying us
so." i pushed chloe's shoulder playfully
and she giggled.
"i'll speak to you later and." he smiled
before hanging up. i placed my
phone back down on the bed and
turned to chloe who was acting like
a thirteen year old.
"you're so embarrassing." i rolled my
eyes at her.
"that's my job as your best friend."
she replied and we clicked play on
the laptop again.

"when do you have to go back to
the studio again?"
"andrew is going to contact me but
sometime next weekend."
"oh good, you aren't going to miss
our very last day of school then."
chloe sighed out in relief and i
giggled. we were almost graduates
of high school and chloe had been
dreaming of that day since we first
started our freshman year.
"andrew knows it's our last week of
senior year next week so he's giving
me the week off already and i
officially start recording next weekend
instead." i shrugged at her.
"i still can't believe that you've been
sighed to a record label. what am i
going to do with my free time now?"
she asked and i just giggled.
"don't worry chlo. you'll still have a
job. i'm still going to release some
covers on youtube every week." i
stuffed my face with some chips at
the same time she did. i had no idea
how neither of us were fat yet.

"you better still be coming to the
senior prom. i don't care if shawn
ends up to be your boyfriend. you
can't leave me by not going."
"relax, chlo. i'm going to the prom."
she nodded her head in satisfaction
and we both went back to watching
friends on the screen. neither chloe
or i had a date to the prom so we
planned on going together instead.
the guy chloe wanted to ask already
had a date and i was never interested
i'm asking anyone to it. this year it
was the year where the girls got to
choose their dates. chloe was my
only friend in school, no one else
really noticed me until puberty hit
me and my boobs started growing.
all of the guys wanted to go out
with me and all of the girls were
jealous of me because of all the
attention i received. i didn't care
about that though, i had chloe and
she's the only person i needed
throughout school. she was the only
person who was real with me and
stuck by me. if i lost her, i had no
ides what i would do.
