"Guys' Ellie's back!" Grace shouted happily as we walked back into my room. The guys cheered.
"Ellie, meet Jedidiah Carter; Jedidiah, Ellie." Eli said.
The guy, Jedidiah, waved nonchalantly through the phone and I did the same. We ended up talking the rest of the night, Chloe deciding to call Lincoln on her phone, so we weren't all jam packed trying to look through a tiny screen.

"Ellie, get your lazy butt up." Grace shouted in my face, shaking me vigorously.
"Leave me alone." I groaned, still half asleep.
"It's almost noon." Chloe said.
"Five more minutes..." I mumbled, curling up into a ball.
"Seriously. Wake up you bum. We're meeting Eli, Lincoln, and Jed at the movies in twenty minutes." Chloe said and I jumped up.
"Twenty minutes?" I asked in disbelief while Chloe and Grace only nodded. "That barely gives me any time to get ready!" I exclaimed running to my drawers and scanning around for a pair of bottoms to wear.
"You should have gotten up when we tried to wake you earlier." Grace said, laughing at my panicked state. "I don't see why your so worried about what you'll look like, it's only the guys."
"So, I still want to look decent." I retorted.
Grace and Chloe were fully dressed, lounging on my bed, typing on their phones. I finally just decided on a pair of leggings with an oversized sweater and a scarf, a pair of furry boots and put my hair in a top knot. I applied mascara then rushed down the hall and into the kitchen to eat a bowl of cereal.
"Ready?" Grace asked as her and Chloe walked into the kitchen. I nodded, drinking my milk. I put my bowl into the sink, quickly brushed my teeth and popped a few mints into my mouth.
We arrived at the theater about five minutes before the guys did.
"Okay, what do we want to watch?" Eli asked shortly after they arrived.
"Let's watch 'Project Almanac.'" Lincoln suggested.
"No, let's watch 'Paddington.' That movie looks so adorable." Grace said.
"I vote we watch the new SpongeBob movie." I said.
After a few minutes of debating, we finally agreed to watch 'Paddington.' We bought the tickets, bought food and drinks, and sat down in our seats in the theater.
"I can't believe you talked me into watching this." I heard Lincoln mumble to Chloe.
I sat in between Chloe and Jedidiah. We watched the movie and afterward, we decided to go out to eat at the Mexican place.
"So, where'd you move from?" Jedidiah asked me.
"Louisiana." I replied, looking through my menu.
"That's cool. I have family down there."
"Cool."
We just made small talk throughout dinner, being the the guys' and girls' third wheels. After dinner, Grace, Chloe, and I piled up in my car and drove back home.
"Guys, we have school tomorrow." Grace said pouting.
"But tomorrow's Friday! They should just cancel it!" Chloe exclaimed, tossing her hands in the air.
"I'm only kidding. It's snowing again, we're out." Grace said laughing.
Chloe walked over and punched Grace in the arm. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Don't do that again, you know how I feel about school." Chloe said, glaring at Grace.
"Well, your first week of school is off to a good start." Grace said, ignoring Chloe's glares.
