Today was a lonely Saturday. Britney had already moved out. I needed to move out soon. I was still dazed with Johnny's hug. I got up at 6 in the morning because I couldn't go to sleep. I was eating cereal while texting Johnny. I was texting him because I wanted to see if he would actually respond. I put him as 'Johnny ;)' on my contacts.

Johnny ;) : hahaha really?

Diane: yep. thats y i never use restaurant spoons.

Johnny ;) : do u use spoons at home?

Diane: Yes cus i wash them myself

After I sent that text I got a call from Squishy.

"Hey Diane."

"Hey Squishy. What's up."

"Oh um nothing much, but … do you wanna hang out?"

"Sure! Where?"

He sighed, "My house because my mom wants to meet you."

I laughed, "Why?"

"Because I told her about how you stood up for me."

"Oh yeah! By the way, Johnny said that he's really sorry about it."

"Oh... um, you could tell him that it's OK."

"I will don't worry. So what time should I go over to your house."

"Around 12:30 pm."

"Got it. Just give me your address and I'll be over."

He gave me his address and continued texting Johnny while getting ready.

Johnny ;) : so when do u wanna hang out?

Diane: idk, when do you wanna hangout?

Johnny ;) : right now if you're not busy :)

Diane: Johnny, I'd really love to but I'm busy :( maybe tomorrow?

Johnny ;) : tht's OK. I'll settle with tomorrow. I'll pick you up around 7:00 pm

Diane: sure! where are we going though?

Johnny ;) : Oh you'll see ;)

Diane: haha OK.

Was this a... date? Nah.

I was finished putting on my make up, grabbed my purse and keys and went to drive over to Squishy's house.

~A Couple Minutes Later...

"So this is where he lives?" I told my myself as I parked my car in front of his house.

I walked nervously up to the door and knocked. I heard footsteps getting closer to the door. I was greeted by Squishy.

"Hey Diane."

"Hey Squishy."

"Come in."

"Thank you." I stepped in nervously because I wanted to make a good impression.

"Mom! Diane's here."

I woman came out from where I assumed the kitchen was. She looked similar to Squishy.

"Hello dear! You must be Diane."

"Yep that's me."

I shook her hand.

"Squishy has told me so much about you."

"So I've been told." I gave Squishy a friendly glance.

We sat down and started to talk and eventually ate lunch.

"So Diane where do you live?"

I stayed quiet for a second.

"At the dormitory on the MU campus."

"Oh! It must be nice living on campus."

"Hmmm it is."

I stayed quiet for a moment. Then Mrs. Squibbles spoke up.

"Dear, what's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh nothing."

"Are you sure. You look a bit down."

Those words made me break down into tears. I felt her wrap her arms around me.

"That's alright sweetheart. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Well, it's just my mom passed away a-and I don't have enough money to be living on campus."

"Oh my... Well dear, you can always stay here with us."

"Really?" I said choking on my tears.

"Yep. You can move in whenever you're ready."

"Thank you so much! You don't know how happy I am."

That night I went home to pack up my things. I later drove back to Squishy's house. Mrs. Squibbles showed me the room I would be staying in. I got in and unpacked.

"Sorry for what happened."

"Ah!"

"Sorry. Did I scare you?"

"A little bit. But don't be sorry. I'll get through my problems."

That night I slept cozy in my nice warm bed.

~Next Day

I was talking with Squishy about his fraternity. I told him that he should make his house the OK frat house. He liked that idea and soon he invited the guys to stay at his house. When it was five I began to get ready for Johnny to pick me up.

"Wait so isn't that like a date?"

"What!? No, we're just friends," I told Squishy.

"Oh sure."

"We are!"

"Maybe you are friends... for now."

I laughed and started texting Johnny.

Diane: hey can you pick me up somewhere else?

Johnny ;) : sure y?

Diane: I moved...

Johnny ;) : oh y

Diane: I'll explain it to you when you pick me up.

Johnny ;) :ok. just tell me where ur new home is

I texted him Squishy's address. I was talking with Squishy in the meanwhile.

"Are you excited for your date?"

"Squishy it's not a date."

"Sure."

"Well anyways, when is the rest of Oozma Kappa arriving?"

"Tonight actually. So it's going to be a bit cramped."

"Cool! I get to talk to Art. He seems legit."

"He seems... kinda weird."

"You say different, I say normal."

I heard someone knocking on the door.

"I'll get it," I said.

"Bye Squishy!"

"Bye Diane."

I was wearing blue jeans, a white tanktop and a leather jacket. I had my hair up in a ponytail. I stepped outside and closed the door behind me.

"Hey Diane! You look great."

I blushed and giggled.

"Thanks. So where are we going?"

"It's a surprise until we get there."

He drove my car to where we were going. He put a blindfold on me so I wouldn't see.

"So why did you move?"

"I couldn't afford to live on campus anymore. So my friend offered me to stay with him and his mom."

"Him?"

"Yeah, Squishy."

"Oh..."

He stayed quiet for a moment. Was he jealous?

"You could've stayed with me in the frat house."

"Yeah, but I don't want to distract you from your frat brothers."

"Well it was just a thought."

I giggled.

"Are we almost there?"

"Almost."

"You better not crash my Lightning."

"Is that what you call your car?"

"Yes. Because this car can go fast."

After what felt like half an hour, Johnny spoke up.

"OK, we're here."

"Finally. Can I take my blindfold off?"

"Hold on."

I heard him getting out of the Lightning. He then opened my door and helped me get out.

"Now can I take off my blindfold?"

"I'll take it off for you."

When he took it off, I was faced with a smiling Johnny. I looked around and I saw that I was surrounded by trees. It was a forest.

"Wow. Not bad."

"I took you here so we can stargaze."

Stargaze... that's what my mom and I use to do.

I smiled at him and hugged him.

"Thanks."

"I'd knew you'd like it."

We got on top of Lightning's windshield just like in those cheesy movies. Where the guy and the girl sit there and talk to each other. That's exactly what we were doing.

"And that constellation right there is canis minor the little monster."

"How do you know all these constellations."

"My mom taught them to me when I was young. We used to climb up to the roof of our house and stargaze for hours."

"What's your parents like."

Why did he have to ask me this question?

"They were the best parents who loved me..."

I can't hold my tears any longer.

I sat up and began to cry. I felt Johnny scoot closer and wrap his arms me.

"I'm sorry it's just-"

"That's OK. You don't have to answer."

I felt a bit embarrassed. He continued to hug me. I felt warm and comforted with his hug. He

started to stroke my hair gently. That made me feel relaxed. After a while I felt my eyelids get heavier and heavier. Soon I was fast asleep in Johnny's arms.
