I lay in bed pondering about if I should call Grayson or not. I kept reading the paper plane over and over. My eyes were starting to cross. The words were starting to all run together.
After an hour or two, I decided to text Blaire. She has been my bestfriend since first grade. I knew that I could tell her anything at anytime.
Addie-hey! can I ask u a question?
Blaire-Sure! Hit meh!
Addie- What do u think about that grayson kid?
Blaire- U mean that anti-tumblr prep?
Addie-He's not really a prep and I think that he is totally tumblr. dem vans and beanie tho!!
Blaire- oh. well. yeah. I guess. y do u ask?
Addie- well nvrmnd! it was a dumb question!
//end of conversation\\
At school the next morning, Blaire asked me if I wanted to hang out with her tonight and maybe watch a movie or something. Since it was Friday night and I had nothing else to do, I said that I'll go.
Blaire and I walked hastily back to my house so that we could get ready for tonight. We decided to pick out each other's outfits. I pick out this beautiful laced white sun dress. I paired it with white converse. I also did her hair and make up. I loosely french braided her hair right down the back of her head. I laced a ribbon in with it. For her make up, I went for a natural look, so I used topes and very light and pale shades of pink to match her pink bracelet. The pink bracelet was from the summer of third grade. We made friendship bracelets for each other. (She made me a teal one.) Blaire looked pure.
She picked a loose black skirt that went down to the middle of my thigh. She paired it with a black tank that had the eiffel tower on it. Below the tower, it had the word "Bonjour!"in italics. I also had black vans on and my hair was loosely curled. My shirt was tucked into my skirt that came up to my belly-button. I also had a long silver cardigan to put on incase I got cold. My make up was perfect. Blaire did a cat eye with the eyeliner and I looked adorable. She picked a darker look for me. She went with medium browns and a dark purple color. I also added one touch. I couldn't go anywhere without a beanie so I added a burgundy one that I had laying in my closet. We looked perfect and were ready to go to the movies.
We walked from my room, and down the stairs. My mom,Hadley, was in the kitchen.
"Hey mom! Blaire and I are going to the movies if that's okay with you?" I said whilst snatching th keys off the island key tree, all in one swift movement. I grabbed my phone out of my back pocket, clicking the home button checking if I had any notifications. I didn't, depressingly, which was a first but I hopped in the driver's side seat of my Prius and we drove to the Cinema.
After paying for our tickets to watch the latest Jennifer Aniston movie. We then made our way to the concession lines. We brought a large popcorn, two large mountain dews, and two boxes of sour patch kids. We opened the movie doors and made our way down the rows and aisles of seat. We chose a seat against the right wall, in which not many people were at, and had a clear view of the exit. We have always kept the exit in view in case of an emergency, health or social. The pre-movie celebrity jumbled came on as everyone slowly settled into their seats. Blaire and I played along, guessing every name right from Jennifer Lawrence, to Will Ferrel, to Channing Tatum.
As the lights dimmed, we settled in and started munching on our popcorn and sipped our drinks. As the last couple of people found their ways down the aisles, something particularly interesting caught my eye. I recognized that beanie. I saw Grayson sitting down with a girl, three rows in front of us. I repeat, he was with a GIRL.

Teen Fiction"Then why did you give me the paper plane." I asked when he finally answered. "Did you ever think maybe it was a symbol or a test?" My eyes widened at this. What does he mean a symbol? "A symbol for what?" I almost screamed through the phone. I was...
