AJ's POV

"What do you mean?" I frowned at her. I couldn't hide the fact that I was bummed out by her dissapointing tone.

"I mean he's so....so I don't know, bookish?" Willow said, thinking out loud.

"What's wrong with that?" I prodded like a child. Maybe I wanted her to like him too. Willow was my close friend so I wanted her to approve him with a big smile on her face.

What the fuck was wrong with me?!!

We're not even together! We're barely even friends and now I want all of my friends' approval? What am I doing? I'll probably take him to see my parents in two weeks. I can imagine myself dragging a poor, clueless Eli into my parents' study and begging them to anoint him as Son-in-law.

"Willow, stop being so bitchy. AJ can like whoever she wants to like. He's a smart guy who's really good in his studies. Isn't that a good thing? And look! He can make her blush! Who else in this God forsaken university has managed to do that?!" Noah spoke as he held my wrist.

"Yup and he's nice to everyone. That's very important." Cora stressed out, smiling at me. My mood lifted as I heard them talk. Willow remained skeptical but eventually she said she will be glad for my sake. 

I sighed you myself. If only Eli heard this ridiculous conversation.

As the minutes ticked by, I told them about the cupcakes as well. They thought it was funny. Willow said it was creative but it was also the last thing anyone would do.
Proceeding to say that that's why she enjoys being my close friend.  I didn't tell them about the notes of course. It was simply too embarrassing to even bring the words out.

I made a mental note to tell Cora though. I don't usually keep things from her.

Cora and Noah laughed and asked me to bake them cupcakes too.

After our lengthy conversation in the cafe, we all went back to our rooms and I had a peaceful nap up until six thirty in the evening. Yes, I love long naps.

"AJ!!! I won't tell you again! Get up and go shower already!!"

"Yeah, yeah." I grumpily stomped my way into the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes later I was already out. Cora had taken her shower before me so she was busy doing her make up. Did I mention that she was super good at it?  Well she was. Cora always wanted to be a professional beautician but her parents advised her against it.

They were not bad people. They were just the type of parents who wanted her to do something 'more secure.' Although Cora respected her parents' wishes, Mr and Mrs Charles did not fail to see her interest. When Cora was only sixteen, they allowed and even paid for her to attend an eight month beautician course. Now, she was an expert in makeup and hair.
