Ava's POV 

I opened my door, and it was Hayley. She looked stunning, so stunning that I was speechless.

"Hey Ava, you ready to go." Hayley said. 

"Uh... yeah.. Yes!" I said.

Wow. Way to be an idiot. She lead me into her BMW, and she put The 1975, and played a song called Robbers. It didn't take long to get to the restaurant, and the name of the place was called Daniela Trattoria Italian Restaurant. We entered the restauant, and it was very cool. It had red lighting, and a tan tile floor, and brick walls. The waitress seated us immedtaly. It was werid to me when she said. 

"Table for two?" 

I don't know why it was so werid to me, I feel like we are on a date, when we're actually not. She looks so pretty, in her greyish dress. But then I think to myself: Ava! She's striaght as a pole! Stop developing feelings while you can! 

"So," Hayley said "How are you?"

"I'm good, uh, how are you?" I said, nervously. 

"You know Ava, I'm great! And you know you don't have to nervous around me, I mean, It's okay to be.." 

You know what, I think Hayley is right. I don't have to nervous around her. I feel like she's one of those people who is so easy to talk to, and so easy to get close to. I feel like she's my best friend already. The waitress came over and asked what drinks we want.

"I'll have a strawberry magarieta, Ava?" Hayley said.

"I'll have a pepsi." I said.

"Ok, Thank you" the waitress said. 

Hayley started laughing.

"Hey, why are you laughing?" I asked Hayley.

"You ordered Pepsi?" Hayley said

"Yes, and why is that so funny?" 

"It just is. I order an adult drink, and you get a Pepsi. It's just funny to me."

"Really" I said with an attitude. "Well, when I get my Pepsi, you're not having any!"  

"Oh really? Last time I checked I'm paying for it" Hayley said with a smile. Her smiled was so bright, it made me even smile. 

"Not if I pay for it first!" I said.

"Ava, just a warning, I'm quite fast. I should be a ninja." Hayley said

Dang, she's attractive. 

The waitress handed out drinks, and Hayley gave the waitress her strawberry magarieta. The waitress asked why. Hayley responded with:

"I don't think I'm in the mood for an "adult drink", so I'll just share her Pepsi instead!" Hayley said to the waitress, and pointed at me. Hayley also took the straw out of her margarita, and put the straw in my Pepsi. Hayley than winked at me when the waitress left. 

"Really?" I said laughing. 

"Oh yes, I even risked a good drink, but hmm. I wanted Pepsi more." Hayley said with a sassy tone. 

Before I could take the drink out of her reach, and I had my hand on the drink, she took it and took a sip. Her hand was on my hand. Her hand had a nice, warm, feel to it, and I didn't want her to let go. Unfortunatly, she did. The waitress asked what we wanted to eat, and I said Ravioli, and Hayley said Ziti. We waited for our food, and the food arrived quickly. 

"Now for the best part" Hayley said with a smile on her face. 

That smile. 

"And what is that?" I asked. 

"Getting to know each other better, duh!" Hayley said. 

Oh no, Hayley is about to exposed to my boring, loveless life. 

Hayley's POV 

Tonight has been amazing so far, and the move with the Pepsi was funny and great. I'm so happy to be friends with her, and since I wanted to get to know her better, I asked the questions. 

"So, are you seeing anyone?" I asked

I don't know why I wanted to know, but it's been on my mind lately.

"That's funny" Ava said. 

Fear hit me. What if she thinks I like her? 

"Um, why" I asked

"Well, It's funny because I never even had my first kiss yet, or had a relationship yet."

I was shocked out of my mind. She didn't even have her first kiss yet? Or a relationship yet? 

"I don't believe you Ava." I said "Come on, not even a peck?" 

"Nothing." She said "I know it's strange, but it's true."

"It will happen, you'll find someone. I know it." I said. "Next question. Where are you from and how are your parents." 

Ava looked at the ground, and said:

"I came from Maine, and.. and my parents died when I was 17.. I've been on my own in a very small apartment."

I wanted to hug Ava, maybe even cuddle her. I felt so bad for asking, I mean I didn't know. I should've never asked the question in the first place. What was I thinking? I felt so out of place and stupid.

"Ava... I'm sorry.. I didn't know.." I said 

"Hayley, It's okay." 

The waitress handed our check, and I grabbed it immediately. 

"I'm paying, b-Ava." 

Oh my gosh, I almost said babe, whoops. Hopefully she didn't hear that. 

"And we also have a dance party club thing. I think you guys would like it. You should check it out." The waitress said.

"Thank you, but I think we're going home-"

"Please Hayley, can we go?" Ava asked.

I wasn't gonna say no. 

"Sure, haha" 

We entered the club, and they played Night Changes By One Direction, the remix.

"One song. I wanna dance with you." Ava said. 

Holy shit. Ava wants to dance with me. Best night ever. I got close to her, and she held my hands, oh, how her hands were warm and had the softest feel. Our hands intertwined. And we fast-danced the tango? Than we danced similar to the once scene in the movie Titanic, when Rose and Jack danced in the third class. She lead to the exit, and gave me the biggest hug.

"Thank you so much, this night was great." Ava said "We should do this another time." 

Just the words I wanted to hear. We headed into the car, and ironically, Night Changes came on Z100, but not the remix version. I lead her into her apartment, and she gave me another hug.

"Hayley, thank you."

"Ava, you're my best friend now. And we need to go to the mall as soon as possible, okay?" 

"Okay Hayley"

This time, I hugged her. She was surprised, and then hugged back. 

"See you soon." I said. 

I walked away, and I heard the door shut. I wanted to stay. But I feel like that'd be too much for one night. I put Taylor, Jeremy, and I into a group chat- I need to tell them and see what the think about Ava, and still think "I like her more than a friend." I also texted Ava:

Me: I'm glad you had fun! 

I waited for a response, but didn't get one. I walk into my house, and fall right to sleep, hoping that I will get a text from Ava in the morning, and to plan something tomorrow with Jeremy and Taylor.
