Saturday morning, Stef dropped Jude off at Connor's house. "Just give me a call when you want to be picked up."

"Okay." Jude said. He walked up to the front door and rang the bell.

"Hey," Connor smiled at Jude as he opened the door.

"Hi," Jude replied, adorable grin on his face. Connor's father lingered a few steps behind.

"My dad got us some cookies from the store," Connor said pointing to the kitchen.

"Awesome," Jude said and followed him in.

Callie went over to the Quinn's house shortly after Jude left for Connor's.

"Hey Sophia," Callie said, as she stuck her head in Sophia's room.

"Hi!" Sophia closed her laptop and rushed to give Callie a hug. "Ready?" Callie asked. Sophia nodded.

"Jude didn't want to come?"

"Nope, he's hanging out with his friend, Connor."

"Okay cool. Girls day!" Callie wasn't sure what she'd gotten herself into, but she was glad to see Sophia smiling.

A few hours later, Callie returned with a new, Sophia-approved dress and beautifully done nails (that matched Sophia's of course). She was quite happy to be home.

"How was your day? Jude asked her.

"Exhausting" she said. Next weekend the two of us are staying in and watching a movie. Unless you have plans with Connor." She smiled.

"I don't know." Jude said looking confused. "We're not just friends. But I don't know what we are."

"That's alright Jude. You don't really need a label."

Jude nodded. Sure he didn't need one, but what if he wanted one?

Mariana spent most of the weekend listening to music and watching movies. She didn't really feel like talking to anyone. An unusual occurrence for her. So she just retreated, laying low in her room. Her phone had buzzed three times but she ignored it.

She knew who it was. And she wasn't ready.

Stef & Lena attempted to coax her out of her room on a couple of occasions. "We could go to the movies..." Stef offered. "We could go to the mall," suggested Lena. "I'm good," Mariana replied. And they didn't quite believe her, but they let it go.

Monday morning when her alarm went off, Mariana was forced to face reality. She had to get up and go to school. Encountering Emma would be unavoidable.

At lunchtime, Emma smiled at Mariana and placed her tray down next to Mariana's. Her initial embarrassment seemed almost entirely erased by Mariana's reciprocated feelings.

"Hey." Emma said.

"Hey," Mariana replied without looking up from her tray.

"What's up with you?" Emma asked. "You didn't respond to my texts this weekend and you're acting totally weird." Emma laughed, trying to pretend this wasn't completely freaking her out.

"I just wasn't sure what to say." Mariana said, sounding distant. The confident girl who had impulsively kissed Emma was nowhere to be found.

"Well what ended up happening?" Emma asked. "Did you get in trouble?"

"No," Mariana said, "My moms were cool about it. Totally awkward, but cool."

"Good," Emma grinned. "Because I was thinking we could go to the movies on Friday. I'm dying to see-"

"I don't know." Mariana said shaking her head, beginning to get overwhelmed.

Emma looked angry. "Whatever is going on with you, you need to figure it out." She said and stormed off.
