today is the day. today sky is coming with me to hang out with daniel and scarlett. even though i've never met scarlett, she looks nice from what daniel says, and daniel is never wrong.

daniel is never wrong.

the thoughts of daniel warning me i should tell sky about the whole 'fame' thing, suddenly rushing back to my brain. thankfully my thoughts are soon cutoff once i hear sky clomping down the stairs, not stepping, but kind of sliding and plopping to the next step.

"ready to go?" i say taking her hand, "daniel and his friend are picking us up in like, 3 minutes". she nods her head fast, leaving my hand to pick up her bag.

"okay now i'm ready" she smiles up to me, taking my hand once again.

i see a car coming down the street, and once it's close enough, i identify that it's daniel's tesla. "c'mon sky, they're hear" i open the big front door and motion for her to step out.

she's taking big steps down the outside steps and i see daniel slightly laugh at her size, just because she is a bit shorter. she pulls open the back seat door and starts climbing in, about to follow her until i'm stopped. "bro, hold on, lottie wants to sit in the back with skylar" daniel says from the drivers seat.

"oh okay" i say back, looking worriedly at sky, just to make sure she's going to be okay with that. all she does is smile and nod reassuringly at me. "hey" i mumble towards scarlett as we switch doors to enter.

almost instantly, i hear sky's laugh quietly ring through the car. daniel and i turn around to the back seat and see them talking and having a good time. looking at daniel, i see him holding up a fist bump, i return the action as we chuckle quietly. trying not to disrupt their good conversation, we just whisper to each other about what's going to happen.

"okay, wanna leave now?" he whispers to me, all i do is nod my head and then i can feel the car start to pull off from the curb.

the moment scarlett pulled the back door closed, we instantly clicked and it felt like we had known each other for a lifetime. talking about everything we could think of. we started with introductions, ages, what we do for fun, etc. "wow, you're only 16?" she exclaims grabbing onto my shoulder. 

"yeah? what do you mean?" i laugh quietly back.

"i'm 18 and you look older than i do, not to mention you're absolutely gorgeous" she says examining my face and body. as she's looking me up and down, i start to do the same to her. golden brown hair, just to below her shoulders, thin and tall build, big eyes, small nose, really beautiful just in general.

"what are you talking about?" i push back, "you are absolutely stunning!"

"okay if you won't take my word for it, at least take into consideration that you got that one..." she says pointing to ruel, "...wrapped around your little finger!"

letting out a giant laugh, not really caring for ruel and daniel's potential stares. "what are you talking about?" i say with a smile, though i'm genuinely confused.

"you really don't see it, do you?" she says studying my face, all i do is give her another confused face so she continues, "he likes you, dude."

i scoff out, "he really doesn't, he probably would've done something by now if he did" i say looking down at my hands, the smile fading from my face.

"just wait, i can tell that his feelings are mutual to yours" she says rubbing my arm. leaning my head back into the car head rest, i sigh out.

"yeah, maybe. thanks scarlett" i smile towards her again.

"please, call me lottie or scar" she smiles back. i nod my head acknowledging her request. at this point the car has started moving, yet i don't know where we're going.

i see ruel and daniel both lean in, taking a look back at us. "so where do you guys wanna go?" daniel says taking a look at me and smiling to scarlett.

we look at each other and shrug, "daniel, i guess we can go anywhere" ruel speaks back.

☼ timeskip: later that night, around 7:00pm ☼

we hung out for a while, just going to get a bite to eat, and then going back to daniel's place. daniel just dropped ruel and i back at ruel's house. "ruel! that was so much fun" i say grinning back up to him.

leading my inside, he says "yeah, it really was! you and scarlett get along great" he says laying a hand on my lower back. 

"she's awesome, i got her number and she said we could call later. i think we're going to be good friends" i say putting my bag down.

"not better friends than us" ruel says pulling me into a long hug. i just giggle into his chest, wrapping my arms his torso.

"of course not" i bring my eyes to look back up at him. "i better get going ruel, monday night, parents think i'm home, and finley needs me" i say out.

stroking my back lightly, then running his hands through my hair. he opens the door for me, and walks me to the car like usual. "i'll see you sky, next week yeah?" and i nod my head, smiling again.

he sets a tiny kiss on my forehead, and i feel a nice blush settle over my cheeks. i pull him back into another tight hug once more and whisper, "thank you"

"okay you should go" opening my car door for me. "maybe i can see you sooner than next week?" and i nod my head eagerly. all he does is laugh out.

"bye ruel" i say, the blush still set on my face. he waves back at me and makes his way back to the house, taking one last look over his shoulder at me, smiling big.

i took a big step tonight, and she didn't seem to completely hate it. once i'm back in my room, i let out the biggest sigh.

maybe she does like me back.

maybe if i asked her to take another step with me, she'd say yes.

maybe just maybe.
