-Four's POV-

I wake up, and shovel food down, when I remember that today is Saturday, and that Zeke's party is today. I text him.

'What time is the party?'

'From 6:00 P.M. until whenever you want to leave.'

'That's nice. Do we need to dress up?'

'Nope. Dinner will be served!'

'Thx. Gtg bii.'

"SOPHIE!" I call.

"WHAT!" she screams back.

"What's Ava's phone number?"

"I'll text it to you!" she yells. Few minutes later I get a message. I enter the number into my contacts and text her.

'Hey Ava this is Four.'

'Hi.'

'Okay, so Zeke's party is from 6:00 P.M. until whenever you want to leave, and you don't need to dress up, dinner will be served.'

'Thx! Now I gotta ask mom and see if I can go in the first place. Who'll be there?'

'Um…not sure.'

'Oh okay. I'll be back in a minute.'

After a minute or so, I see Ava's reply.

'Yep, I can go, I just need to be home before midnight.'

'Great! Do you want me to pick you up or something?'

'Probably. Does it bother you at all?'

'No.'

'Okay then. My address is 836 Stanford Court. Pick me up anytime.'

'Ok. Gtg bii.'

'Bii.'

I smile. I get dressed in some sweatpants and a t-shirt and I walk outside. I jog around the block, and then decide to text my father, who's probably at work right now.

'Hey dad, there's a party at Zeke's tonight, I'll probably be home around midnight or so.'

He doesn't respond. I decide to start lunch, just as Sophie enters the kitchen, tying her hair into a bun. She helps me, and we eat. I decide to go to Zeke's house early, to help him out, when my phone rings.

'Hello?' I say.

'Tobias, I'm not sure you should go to Zeke's party.' My father says.

'Please?' I ask him.

'Last one at Zeke's house.' He spits. He always says this. But I always manage to go to another one of Zeke's parties somehow. I text Ava.

'Do you care if I pick you up right now? I was planning to go over to Zeke's to help him out with preparing the party.'

'Sure, you can pick me up.'

'See you soon!'

"Hey Sophie! You going to Zeke's house for his party?"

"Yes." She answers.

"I'm going right now. You want to come along or go at 6?"

"I'll go at 6. Thanks though!"

I exit the house and hop into my car. I enter Ava's address into my phone, and 5 minutes later, I arrive at her house. I go up the front steps and ring the bell. I hear footsteps, and a tall boy answers the door.

"Who are you?" he says gruffly.

"Zachary, let me get through." A familiar voice says. Ava slip past him and we go to my car.

"What?! Is he your boyfriend or something?" her brother says.

"No. I'm going to a party and he's driving me there because I don't know the way there." She snaps in reply. We get into my car and we drive off, three minutes later we arrive at Zeke and Uriah's house. I ring the bell.

"Hey Four, man, come on in!" Uriah says, opening the door. "Oh, hi Ava. You can come too." He says. She rolls her eyes and steps in.

"Holy cow your house is sooo messy." Is the first thing that comes out of her mouth.

"Gonna be our cleaning maid, right?" Zeke teases.

"YES. Zeke, clean up all those clothes and put the clean ones in some room and put it off limits, Uriah, take the dirty clothes from Zeke and put it in your guyses dirty clothes hamper. Four, arrange a bunch of chairs into a circle." She says, heading off in the direction of the kitchen. 20 minutes later, she comes back, and examines my circle of chairs.

"So, how do you play Honey I Love You?" I ask her.

"Someone starts in the middle, and everyone else sits in those chairs. The person in the middle goes up to someone and has to say, 'Honey, I love you, will you give me a smile?' or they can replace 'a smile' with something else, like this, 'Honey, I love you, will you give me your left shoe's shoelace?' or something like that." She answers. "It's really fun."

"What about the winking game?"

"ZEKE!" she yells.

"What?" Uriah says, coming into the room.

"Who's gonna be here?"

"You, Four, me, Zeke, Marlene, Lynn, Shauna, Sophie, Lexi, Will, and three of Zeke's friends that are on the football team." He answers.

"Okay," Ava says, turning back to me. "There will be chairs set up in a circle, and each girl sits in a chair. There needs to be one empty chair without a girl sitting in it, and there should be one more boy than however many girls there are. The boys stand around the chairs, one boy at each chair. The boys that are standing a chair with a girl sitting on it will try to hold the girl in place. The boy without a girl at his seat will wink at one of the girls, and she has to break free from the chair she's sitting on and sit on the chair that has the boy who winked at her. If the girl doesn't break free, then the same boy keeps winking. If the girl breaks free, then the boy who was once holding onto her has to wink at some other girl and yeah, so on and so forth."

"Sounds like fun." I say.

"It's amazing." She answers, grinning.

"Are you sure you aren't trying to trick me?" I say slyly. She jabs me in the ribs.

"What are you trying to do to me, Eaton?" she demands. I poke her in the stomach. She pokes me back, and we have a poking war for what it seems like is forever and then Zeke comes into the room. His mouth drops open. I stop poking Ava and look at him.

"What?" Ava snaps.

"You guys sure you aren't going to be soul mates?" he asks. She marches up to Zeke and slaps his face.

"SHUT UP!" she screams, so loud that I cover my ears.

"CALM DOWN!" Uriah yells, entering the room. Soon they are yelling at each other, and all I'm doing is standing there awkwardly, staring and watching them.

"Um, guys," I say. "We need to get the food ready. It's 5:00." They stop, and Uriah runs out the front door, shouting,

"FOOD SHOPPIN'!" Zeke shrugs and follows him.

"I'll leave you two lovebirds here, ALONE, in my house." Zeke says, smirking. Ava lunges at him, but I wrap my arms around her waist and hold her there. Her waist feels soft. I yank her back, and she spins around and jabs me in the stomach.

"What was that for?" she demands.

"You really think Zeke's gonna host a party while he has a bruise on his face?" I say calmly.

"Yes." She answers. My arms are still around her. She drags me towards the couch and she plops down, and I fall down next to her, half sitting on her. "Get off, Eaton!" she spits, shoving me.

"Whoa, when'd you get so sassy?" I tease. She shoves me off and climbs on top of me. She stays there.

"Can you get off?" I ask her.

"Nope." She answers, grinning. She flops down onto me, and stays there, me, lying on the couch, and Ava, lying on top of me. I roll over and crush her underneath me. Immediately, she jerks into action, throwing her body up and she sends me reeling backwards, and then she sits on top of me again. Grinning, she just sits there, unmoving. Someone rings the doorbell and in comes Shauna.

"What. Are. You. Guys. Doing?" she says slowly.

"I'm trying to kill him." Ava says casually.

"Oh." Shauna says. "Where are Zeke and Uriah?"

"They're out getting food." I say. "Ava, can you PLEASE get off of me?" she sticks her tongue out at me and reluctantly rolls off of me. I pin her down and she stays there.

"When are they going to be back?" Shauna asks.

"Dunno." I say. At that moment, Ava wiggles out of my grasp and sits down on the couch, pulling me next to her, and she leans her head on my shoulder.

"Honestly." Shauna says.

"What?" Ava says.

"You guys met YESTERDAY, and now you're all over each other. It's weird." She answers.

"That means that they are perfect for each other." Zeke says, entering the room.

"ZEKE. CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT UP FOR ONCE." I say. Zeke's answer is cut off when the doorbell rings. Three boys step in. They're on my football team.

"Who are they?" Ava hisses to me.

"Daniel, Marcus, and Dylan." I whisper back. "They're on the football team."

"Dylan does soccer though. And Marcus. I think." She murmurs.

"Okay whatever, Daniel is on the football team, and anyway, their friends of Zeke's." I say exasperated. Ava glances at them again.

"And that is Four and his soul mate Ava." He says. Ava leaps at him and knocks him to the ground, and yanks something out of her pocket.

"One more word of that nonsense, and I'll cut your Mr. Jokester mouth right off your face." She hisses. I pull her off Zeke and she whips around, a knife pointed at me. "Same goes for you." She snaps.

"What did I do?" I ask.

"Everything." She responds, putting the knife back into her pocket.

The bell rings again, and this time, Will, Lexi, Sophie, Marlene, and Lynn step into the house, just as Uriah comes in lugging a cooler.

"Beer, anyone?" he asks.

"You know, Uriah, if most of us are caught in a party while people are drinking beer, we're gonna get kicked off the team whatever sports team we're on, so I suggest you put that away." Ava says. Zeke nods.

"Soda?" Uriah asks, hauling in a different cooler.

"Let's play first." Zeke says.

Everyone sits in a circle and Ava stands in the middle, because Shauna made her. She looks around, and walks over to Shauna and whispers in her ear. Shauna points at Zeke, who mutters an 'oh no' and Ava goes back into the middle, staring at each boy with narrowed eyes. Then she starts towards Zeke, who bites his lip.

"Honey," Ava starts in a babyish voice. "I love you! Will you give me your blueberry flavored jelly belly jellybean?" she makes a puppy face, and Zeke laughs. "In the middle!" she says, shoving Zeke out of his seat. Zeke goes up to Shauna, who laughs right away even though he didn't say anything to her. Shauna gets up and whispers something to Ava, who whispers back.

"Really?" she asks.

"Seriously. It's worked plenty of times." She answers. Shauna rolls her eyes and kneels in front of me, and cups my face with her hands.

"Honey," she coos. "I love you! Will you give me your dead dog named Bobba-Joe?" I grin. Shauna shoves me out of my seat and I find myself in the middle. I glare at Ava, who crosses her arms and grins smugly. I stick my tongue out at her and go up to Sophie, who's eyes widen.

"Sophie," I say. "I love you! Will you please ditch your brother?" this time she holds up.

"Brother," she begins. "I love you too, but I just can't ditch you. Sorry." After I get back in the middle, Sophie shouts, "BOOM! IN YOUR FACE!" I shake my head at her. Every girl that I do doesn't laugh. Even Marlene somehow holds up. Finally, Ava is the only one left. When I start towards her, she crosses her arms and composes her face. I sit next to her and wrap my arm around her. She rolls her eyes and makes a cuckoo sign and points her finger at me.

"Hi there, sweetie!" I say. "I really like you, so I guess that means I love you. I have a favor to ask you. Will you dig up your dear dead dog Bobba-Joe and give him to me?" I hope that works, but obviously, it doesn't. She looks at me.

"Sweetie, I love you as well, but first, I don't have a dog named Bobba-Joe, second, I don't have a dog, and third, if I don't have a dog, then I don't have a dead dog." She responds, not even hinting the slightest grin at all.

"Ooooo, REJECTED!" Zeke laughs.

We keep playing Honey I Love You for 20 more minutes, and then we play the winking game.

"Girls, pick a partner!" Zeke shouts.

Ava stands in the middle; every boy has a partner except for Dylan and me. Ava walks over and sits down in the chair that I'm standing behind. I watch Dylan. He winks at Lexi, who struggles against Will's arms. Catching on, I wrap my arms around Ava, hoping she can't break free. After 10 seconds, Lexi relaxes and Dylan winks at Lynn, who's trapped with Marcus holding onto her tightly. Dylan winks at some girl that I don't see when I feel something straining against my grasp. The straining makes my arms feel like their popped. Everyone starts counting down. I yank Ava back, and she sinks her teeth into my arm. I release her and grinning, she crosses the circle and sits down in the empty chair. She waves at me. I wink at Lynn, who this time does what Ava did, she bites Marcus's arm and scrambles into my chair. Frustrated, Marcus winks at Ava who easily escapes Dylan's grasp without any problem and seats herself in the empty chair. Marcus whispers something to her, and she just shrugs. Dylan winks at Shauna, when Uriah shouts.

"Dinner time!" We gather around and shovel the food down, and then we sit back down. It's time to play Truth or Dare.

"I go first!" Uriah shouts. "Ava, truth or dare?"

"Truth." She replies.

"On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most, how much do you like Four?"

"Seven," She says. "Zeke, truth or dare?"

"Dare." He says.

"Dare you to have 5 minutes in heaven with Shauna behind a couch." She grins.

"Fine. But let me get my turn first. Marlene, truth or dare?"

"Truth." She answers.

"What color underwear are you wearing today?"

"Uh…purple." Zeke grins, and drags Shauna with him behind the couch. I hear smacking sounds and groans.

"Four? Did you hear me?" Marlene says.

"Uh…no."

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare, I guess."

"Dare you to sit next to your crush for the rest of the game."

"Uh...okay." I say.

"Marlene!" Shauna says from behind the couch, "You should've dared him to kiss Ava."

"Whoops." Marlene grins. I get out of my seat and sit next to Ava, who doesn't even respond in return.

"Lynn, truth or dare?" I ask.

"Dare."

"Dare you to take one piece of clothing off for every dare someone does, and put one piece back on for every truth."

"All right." She answers. I drape my arm across Ava's shoulders.

"Will, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Who do you like?"

"Lexi." He answers.

"Lexi, truth or dare?"

"Dare." Lexi says. Lynn takes off her jacket.

"Hmm. I dare you to kiss…Uriah."

"Ewww!" she says laughing. But she kisses him anyway. I glance at the couch.

"Shauna, Zeke, you can come out now!" Ava yells.

"Ok!" Shauna yells back. "Just wait!"

"What? Are you guys naked?" Ava teases.

"SHUT UP!" Shauna screams at her.

"Ava, truth or dare?" Lexi asks.

"Truth." She answers. Lynn put her jacket on again.

"How many boys have you ever kissed in your entire life besides your dad and your brothers?"

"I don't necessarily kiss my brothers. But to answer your question, I did once."

"ONCE!?" Lexi shouts. Ava grins.

"Marcus, truth or dare?"

"Dare." He says. Lynn pulls her jacket off again.

"Dare you to take your shirt off and kiss Lynn." She says, leaning her head onto my shoulder. I remove my arm from her shoulders and wrap it around her waist. As he's kissing Lynn, Uriah interrupts.

"Who wants ice cream?" he shouts.

"SHUSH!" Shauna hisses. "Can't you see they're in love?" she motions to Marcus and Lynn. Taking in what was happening, Lynn breaks the kiss and shoves him away, blushing and grinning at the same time.

"Now you may continue." She says to Uriah.

"We have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and blue moon. Cones and dishes. Get in line!"

"What's your favorite?" Ava asks me as we stand up. I release her.

"Vanilla and blue moon in a cone." I say.

She grins. "Me too!" she gets in line, and takes two cones. When she comes back she hands me one and we sit down next to each other again. After everyone is licking away at their ice cream, Ava suddenly asks me what time it is. I glance at my watch.

"10:30." I say. She nods.

"Everyone, let's play spin the bottle!" Uriah shouts. Reluctantly, I join the circle.

"No, Four, you sit down next to Ava, and Lexi, sit next to Four. Will, sit next to Lexi, and Marcus, you sit on the other side of Ava with Lynn next to you, and Uriah, you and Marlene will sit next to Lynn. Zeke and I will sit by Lynn, Sophie and Daniel sit by us, and Dylan isn't gonna play." Shauna says. Dylan sits in the middle and spins the bottle.

"First up!" he announces. "Lexi and Four!" Ava laughs.

"Ewww!" Lexi says, kissing me. She shoves me away, hard, and I elbow Ava. Dylan spins the bottle again.

"Marcus and Lynn!" he says.

-After 1 hour minutes of Spin the Bottle-

"Four, I think I have to go home now." Ava whispers to me.

"All right." I say. "Zeke, Ava has to go home now, and so do Sophie and I."

"Oh. Bye!" Zeke replies.

"Awesome party!" Ava says to me when we go outside. I nod. I get in the car and start the engine. A few minutes later we arrive at her house.

"Thank you." She says to me as we go up to her front door.

"Anytime," I say. She pauses for a moment, then hugs me. I freeze, and then realizing what I just did, I quickly hug her back, pushing her closer to me, my hands running through her soft hair. Finally, Ava pulls apart and smiles at me.

"Good night," she says, entering her house.

"Sleep tight." I say. She laughs, and closes the door. I drive home and Sophie asks me.

"You sure you guys aren't gonna go out? Second day of meeting and you already hug. So sweet."

"Shut up!" I laugh. I drive home and we go to our rooms. I enter my room and flop onto my bed.
