Aaahhhh! I'm so sorry this chapter's so short!
I don't think I'll be able to update soon, so I just wanted to post at least something for you guys.
The next part of this chapter will be updated here. And I'm going to move Maxon's POV and America's POV from the New Year's all to one chap.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!

I held the remote lazily towards the TV, flicking between the channels. Spongebob, the news, some Spanish soap opera. There was nothing good on. Ugh. There's nothing to do.
I was so bored and tired, so naturally, the only solution was to sleep. I clicked the power button on the remote, shutting the TV off, and lay down on the couch and fluffed up the pillows beneath me. I closed my eyes, drifting off into a slumber...
Suddenly, my phone buzzed, almost giving me a heart attack. My eyes popped open and I turned my head. The phone was all the way on the table, a whole arm's length away. But I was so comfy in my position, I complained to myself. The buzzing continued. Despite my comfort, I got out of my position and groggily picked it up.
Maxon.
"What do you want?" I said, angry that I had been disturbed.
"Okay, never mind. I'll call you back later," he said.
"Wait," I said. I shifted in my seat. "Ugh, sorry. I'm just feeling kinda out of it today. What do you want?" I repeated, much calmer this time.
I heard the grainy steady breaths through the receiver. He was hesitating.
"Umm...I was wondering if you...do you…uhh...never mind..." he trailed off. He was nervous. Somehow, that made me feel the same; heartbeat picking up and butterflies streaming in my stomach.
"What?" I asked him.
"Do you...want to go to the movies tonight?" he asked.
My eyes widened. What do I do? What do I say? I looked around, not even knowing what I was searching for. Yes, I wanted to go, but I couldn't put it to words. My mouth was failing me.
"Uh...America?" he asked apprehensively.
I hesitated before finding my voice and saying, "Y-yeah, I'll come."
"Great. I'll pick you up at 6. We could grab some dinner along the way," he said. Something in his voice changed. Relief? Maybe even accomplishment?
"Okay. Bye," I said sheepishly.
"Bye," he replied.
I took the phone away from my ear and clicked the off button. Did that just really happen? I stared at the now-black screen. I couldn't stop the big grin that spread across my face. I grabbed a nearby pillow and held it to my mouth, muffling my delighted squeal with it.
I looked at the screen again and saw my smile in the reflection. America Singer, you've got a date tonight.
Hope you enjoyed!
