A/n: I am so sorry. I haven't written in so long. High school isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Just I have a lot of boy drama. Just like Emily. I had one guy pretending. Jeez. All right kiddies! Have fun!

I walked into my house to find Sarina on the couch watching Fuse.

"So, what happened to you and Prince Charming?" Sarina asked.

"We kissed." I said as I went into the kitchen. She followed me.

"And?"

"Stop interrogating me with these questions!" I grabbed a soda.

"I only interrogated you with one. So how was it? It was your first kiss right?"

"Yes, it was fine, but I don't like him in that way."

"Yes, you do. I can see the way you look at him. You looked at him differently than Jake. Your in love."

"Shut up!" We both sat down on the couch in the living room. We fell silent.

"You should talk to him." Sarina said.

"You know it was actually peaceful here until you started talking." I took a sip of my soda.

"How long have you guys known each other?"

"About a week I think."

"You guys should go on a date and I'll chaperone!"

"Um, no. I'm not ready."

"Emily, lighten up. Every guy is not gonna end up like Jake ok. Just give him a chance. I approve."

"Like that make's a difference."

"Emily, just one chance. It's only one."

"FINE! Jeez, if I do will you stop telling me what I want."

"Oh, so you do want it?"

"What?!?! No! Ugh, fine I kind of do okay. Happy?"

"Yes." We just talked about how it was in Hawaii. How happy I was. I decided, since my parents we're both going to work late that Sarina and I go eat out. We might bump into Bradin. What am I talking about? You know those somersault things my stomach does. It's still there when I see him. It was around 6 and we got dressed and went out to eat.

"So, do you think we'll bump into him?" Sarina asked as we found a seat at the fast food place.

"Maybe." I said. We ordered a couple of burger and sodas. Guess who was here?

"Hey Bradin!" Sarina yelled. "Sit with us!" He walked over to our table and sat down.

"Hey guys. So, what's going on?" Bradin asked.

"Nothing much." I said. Sarina and I finished our burgers and sodas and just kept talking to Bradin.

"You guys want to come over to my house? Sarina hasn't seen it yet." Bradin asked.

"Yeah, that'll be cool." Sarina said. I nodded in agreement. So, we all stood up and walked to Bradin's house. We finally got there and Bradin opened the door. We went in and the first words in Sarina's mouth was:

"DAMN!"

"Hey, don't cuss." I said as I pushed her down the mini stairs.

"Shut up!" I saw Nikki come down the stairs.

"Hey Emily! Who's your friend?" She came up to us.

"This is Sarina. Sarina this is Nikki. Nikki, Sarina." They both shook hands.

"Hey Nikki, why don't we go to your room so Bradin and Emily can have time alone?" Sarina asked. My mouth was open.

"Sure." Nikki was up for the plan. Shocked much? Very. Anyways. They went upstairs which left Bradin and I alone, in the living room.

"So." I said.

"Well, what do you want to do?" Bradin asked. We both looked at each other in awkwardness.

"I dunno. What do you want to do?"

"You want to watch a movie?"

"Uh, sure." I said.

"Are we ever going to talk about it?" Bradin asked.

"Do you want to?" I asked.

"Yeah, sort of. Why are you scared of being with me?

"I'm not scared!" Ok, so I was, but I wasn't going to admit it. He looked at me like I was lying. He knew. "Ok, so I am. It's not that I don't like you or anything it's just that in the past my love life was never great."

"So, your scared because of what happened in the past might happen now?"

"Exactly. I really like you and I want to give you chance, but I don't know. Everything just falls down with me at once."

"We can take it slow, friends first and lets see what happens. Just to tell you I'm not lying about my feelings about you."

"Ok." We came closer and gave each other a hug. It felt good to be in someone's arms. We let go and we decided to watch a movie. We both sat on the couch and he put his arm around me.

"This movie is boring." I said.

"Yeah, it is. Let's go outside to the beach."

"That's a great idea." He turned off the T.V. and we went to the beach.
