After first period, I met a girl named Blythe. She had blonde hair and was slightly taller than Sab and had freckles. It was nice to finally have found a friend. She came over every day to work on homework for two weeks and spent the night about seven times. Everybody eventually became fond of her and by December, she had officially become by best friend. We did everything together; shopping, going to games, going to class, obsessing over boys, if I did anything, Blythe was doing it with me. For Halloween, we went to a party as Mario and Luigi. We walked around with a few other friends after eating for Thanksgiving and had just hung out everyday in between. But the day I'll always remember with her was December 23rd.

It was nearing Christmas. I was dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a long sleeve flannel shirt. Blythe and I had just decided to go to the mall and pick up some Christmas gifts for ourselves, since we didn't want anybody buying our gifts anymore. We were at the food court and she saw two guys eating together. She elbowed me hard and grabbed my arm tightly.

"What?" I said, slightly annoyed. She then pointed me over to them I tried not to care. "So what, they're just boys." I say. I walk to Taco Bell followed by Blythe. She went on about how us, being 16 year old girls, should have boyfriends by now and how we should be flirting and getting into trouble blah, blah, blah. But I don't listen. I get our food and we go sit down. She takes the tray and sits at the table next to the boys. I sit across from her and listen to her go on about boys and catch a glimpse of them looking at us. I honestly didn't mind. They were actually pretty cute.

"We should tease them. How's my ass look?" She says.

"Or we can do this." I say getting up.

"Ally what are you doing? We're not that desperate." She whispered/yelled. "They have to make the first move."

"That's funny." I walk over. "Hey." I say. One of the guys smile at me.

"Hey." He says. He had brunette hair and his jawline slayed my life.

"I'm Ally and that's my friend Blythe she said she wants to meet you." I looked over and she was covering her face in embarrassment.

"Why don't you sit?" He asked. I considered it for a second and sat next to him, relatively close.

"So where you from?" He asked.

"I'm from Maine." I say. I look at his friend sitting across from me. He has a blonde mop top and chocolate brown eyes. He's not bad looking.

"That's Ross by the way. I'm Blake." We get into a small conversation. "Here's my number. Call me some time." He writes it down quickly and gives it to me. I smile and stand up, teasing him by rubbing one of his pecks. I bite my lip while doing so and walk away.

"What the fuck was that?" Blythe says. I grab our bag of food and my backpack and walk away, followed by her. "Ally! What happened?"

"I just teased a guy."


"Okay, tell me and don't leave out a single detail." She said when we were almost at my house. I sit at the counter and open our food. We begin eating and I finally begin. When I reach the part about me teasing him, she almost shat a brick. "ALLYSON MARIE DAWSON YOU DID NOT!" She hugs me and then squeals. Sab walks downstairs.

"SABBAY!" I yell. She looks over.

"Ally, I have a date soon." She says irritated.

"SABBY!"I exclaim. She chuckles and leaves.

"SO his number." She smiles.

"He and his friend Ross are coming over." I finish my cinnamon twists because that's all I got. She smiles wider.

"Go, Alls! Being comfortable with boys!" She exclaims. "Well I'm gonna go." She says packing up her stuff. "See you later!" She walks through the door and I call Blake to make sure he's on his way. He's a few streets down so I turn on the T.V. to Netflix. Family Guy starts playing and there's a knock on the door.

"Hey Bla- ugh, it's you." Tanner, James' friend walks in.

"Expecting someone?" He says.

"Go upstairs with your friend." I say, chucking a pillow at him. He chucks it back and we laugh. I set it on the couch and he runs upstairs. Even though that just happened, I seriously love Tanner. We've known each other for three months and he's like my little brother. Blake comes later and we sit on the couch. He sits to my left and Ross to my right. After 20 minutes, Blake goes to the bathroom.

"So what's your deal?" I ask Ross. He shrugs. "Why don't you talk? Blake is so cool and nice and you're hot." I say. That was so awkward. My face turns slightly pink. He let's out a chuckle.

"Blake just usually gets the girls."

"Maybe not this girl." I say, scooting slightly closer. "So what did you think of the movie?" I ask.

"Movie? Didn't notice." His head moves closer to mine and we kiss. I then hear Blake's footsteps and quickly split away from him. During the movie, Ross and I keep catching glances of each other. Afterwards, Ross says that he'll stay a while and goes to the bathroom and he flirts with me.

"So, I'll call you later?" He says. I nod and Ross comes downstairs. It's gonna be a fun day.
