The next week of school was crazy. I can't believe it was the second week of school and we got 6 projects! Although I'm a straight A student, I still thought it was a little much. When I eventually finished them, I looked at my cell phone in case I missed calls. It turns out I missed 5 calls-all from Dimitri! As soon as I saw that they were from him, I called him back so fast my fingers made smoke as I dialed the numbers. I think he was waiting for my call, because after just the first ring, he answered. "Um…Dimitri?", I said. "Yeah…hey, um, Aidyn, I called before to ask you a question…".

" What is it?"

"Would you go to the d-", his voice trailed off.

"Even though we just met, you can ask me anything, you know that right?", I comforted him.

It seemed to work because he replied, " Yeah I know, that's why I like you, and I wanted to know- would you go to homecoming with me?". I was freaking speechless.

I replied with utter stupidity, saying, "Um, y-, I-, hmm."

I think he thought I rejected him because he hung up. I called him back, and I just spit it out.

"YES! I mean- yes, I would love to."

"Great! I'll pick you up at 7:00, because it starts at 7:30, and I hate to b-".

I cut him off and said while laughing, "Shut-up before you say something stupid and I change my mind".

"Yeah, okay see you then, or on Monday…I guess."

So we hung up. I jumped onto my bed and laid down. I felt like I was floating on clouds. I think I got a little too comfortable because I fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I heard Jared calling me for the door. So I ran down the steps and opened the door. It was Dimitri- looking so masculine in his football uniform. To my horror, as I was basking in the fine gloryness, I forgot I had bedhead, and had my pajama shorts and skimpy pajama top on. "Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!" I screamed as I slammed the door in his face. I opened it back up in a second and said, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, can you wait a sec as I get dressed?" I asked. "Okay?" he said all dazed and confused. In about five minutes I came downstairs in my tightest, cutest shirt and my jeans and Chinese slippers. "What brings you here Dimitri?", I asked. I noticed that he had bags in his hands. "Um, my dad kicked me out because we got into a really bad argument and I have no where else to go…" he said. I felt so bad for him. Apparently Jared heard the whole thing. " No where else to go, huh?" he said to Dimitri. As he glanced at me, I made a puppy-dog face. "No mister…" he replied. "Alright, Dimitri is it? - Go shower and change as I make breakfast and Aidyn sets up the guestroom".

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" I exclaimed as I hugged Jared. I was in shock- "Me? The New Girl? One of the hottest guys in school? Staying at my house? Why?". It was about 8:00 p.m. now, but it seemed later because I had a long day. After we ate breakfast, Dimitri and I had gone to the mall to hang out. When we got home, Jared was sleeping (oddly enough) and Dimitri and I had the house to ourselves-kinda. We went into the backyard, laid out a blanket, and looked at stars all night. Dimitri was very intelligent. He took college level astrology. He appeared to be VERY good at it. He named all of the important ones.

We then saw a shooting star. "Hey! A shooting star! Make a wish Aidyn."

"Okay."

I know I shouldn't be telling you this, but what the hell. My wish was for Dimitri to kiss me.

"I'm done. Did you make yours?"

"Dimitri?"

Before I got to open my mouth again- he kissed me.

"Man those stars are GOOD!" I said. "That was your wish?" he said. "Yes". I kissed him back, and he said "Well, that was my wish". We kissed for what seemed like forever, and then we stopped, looked into each other's eyes and continued to analyze stars. It started to get cool, so we cuddled. We eventually fell asleep outside. The next morning, it was so funny. Jared came running out in his boxers and his robe and slippers screaming my name. He came around the backyard, and he looked like a mental patient. "Where. Were. You?" he asked, out of breath because he ran around the block screaming, waking up the neighbors. "Chill, Jared, we fell asleep out here because we were looking at stars."

"Oh…Okay. Come inside for breakfast before I have to tell whole neighborhood I've taken in a fugitive and my daughter was kidnapped so i ahd to run around like a mad person."

"My average morning…" I told Dimitri. He laughed. After we ate breakfast we went upstairs to go take our showers and get ready for Jared to take me work. As we went downstairs, Jared still wasn't ready and I was already late. "What the hell, Jared are you trying to get me fired, especially since it's my last day?" I screamed at him. "I'll take her, Mr. McAthens" Dimitri jumped in pulling me away from making another comment. As we drove there, we switched around radio stations and blasted our favorite songs.

"Who's that sexy boy in that Corvette 'cause I KNOW that is not Jared," my friend Ezparanza said to me. "Oh that's my friend Dimitri, he got kicked out of his home and we're taking him in for a while…I know him from school".

"Sure, I'll believe he's just a friend" she said sarcastically.

"Okay, just because I made out with him under stars doesn't mean he's my boyfriend".

She gave me the look.

"It does, doesn't it?" I said disappointingly (because I knew Ez was right). So I worked a 4-hour shift and surprisingly, he waited for me. I clocked out and he drove me home. "Aidyn? Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes Dimitri? What is it?"

"When we made out last night, did that mean anything to you?"

"Yeah, I guess so, did it mean anything to you?"

"Yes, but…that doesn't mean we're…like together does it?"

"I don't think so, no, I guess not".

"Good because I spoke to Jenny (his ex) and she apologized for the argument we had that broke us up, and we're…kinda…together now. Is that okay with you?" he said.

"Stop the car!" I said ragingly.

"Did you forget you we're taking me to the homecoming dance?!?!?! Don't you think that kiss meant something to me?!?!?!…oh, I get it, I was your rebound girl…your sideline until you got your water break and you were put back in the game."

"It's not even like that…" he said in a small voice.

"Oh, so how is it then? You actually felt something between us? Don't give me that bull! You and your little Jenny could have a good life together, without me!"

I finally got out the car. Just before I slammed the door I yelled, "and you and your father settle things out, because the second that happens you are out of my house, and if you don't settle things out, go stay with JENNY!" I slammed the door. As I walked away, he drove up to me, and said, "Aidyn don't be like this".

"Screw you and your girlfriend too." I yelled back. When I finally got home, Dimitri was downstairs, and Jared was sleeping. "Hey" he said. "Do NOT talk to me" I said as I ran upstairs.
