Hi guys I'm really, very sorry about the delay! I've been so AWOL lately... But to make it up to you guys, I made this chapter a bit longer. Thanks so much for your support, everyone!

Cece's POV

I was walking home thinking about how things could get any worse.

I sighed to myself as I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket.

"Probably just Flynn calling to tell me to make him some bacon", I reminded myself as I pulled it out.

"1 New Text", it read. "Huh?", I thought to myself, "How did anyone get my number?"

My mom hadn't told me that we were getting new phones and numbers until we moved so there was no way of contacting my old friends.

I looked at the text, and it asked if I was Cece. Well yes, yes I am Cece. I replied quickly and asked who it was.

I got another text soon enough. Secret? I bit my lip as I thought of who it could possibly be.

Maybe Flynn gave my number to Rocky?

I sent another text asking if it was a boy or girl. A text came back saying "boy", and according to them, an "incredibly hot one" at that.

I laughed to myself as I replied. I got home quickly, glad it was finally Friday.

I plopped myself down on the sofa and turned on the TV. Unfortunately for me, there was nothing good on, so I fell asleep soon enough.

I woke up to the sound of the front door opening and Flynn yelling, "I'M HOME!"

"Good to know", I groaned back. I tried going back to sleep but failed greatly, so I decided to get started on homework.

Rocky came climbing through my window as I pulled out my math notebook.

"Hey Cece! Wanna go to the mall?", she asked with excitement. "Definitely beats homework by long shot", I thought as I nodded.

We walked for a good 20 minutes, talking and learning new things about each other.

I found out that she's very much like... a goody two-shoes type of person.

She was very different from my friends back in California, but I liked that about her.

She always seemed to know the right things to say, and she was nice when everyone else was so mean.

I hope she thought the same about me because I liked being her friend.

We got to the mall and went into a bunch of stores just to pick outfits for each other and try them on.

I hadn't had such a good time since I had moved, and it was refreshing.

"She has good style", I figured after we went through a couple stores.

Halfway through the stores, we began picking out the ugliest outfits and combinations we could find instead of the pretty ones.

We made each other try on our findings and it was so funny we both started cracking up until our cheeks stung.

She was sporting a huge mustard yellow flannel and a bright red skirt that reached her knees, with a white baseball cap on her head.

She looked like ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise put together, I giggled with content.

But at the same time, I didn't look any better. For my outfit, she had truly chosen the weirdest combination.

I was sporting a big neon green t-shirt with a giant giraffe on it, with violet capris and a bright orange snow cap.

I looked like christmas with my hair and shirt, and the orange cap that nearly matched my hair made my head look huge.

We both looked so silly and ridiculous, we even took pictures of each other.

We stopped by the food court and got cheese on a stick. As Rocky was pumping ketchup onto her plate, I giggled and said,

"Too bad you didn't buy that outfit earlier, then you could match your ketchup!"

She laughed as she slapped my arm. We began walking back to the apartments with our cheese on a sticks.

I pulled out my phone to check what time it was, when I stopped short because I was shocked of how many new messages I had.

"Good thing Mom got me unlimited this time, or else she'd taze me", I muttered to myself.

I decided not to check the messages in front of Rocky or else I'd seem rude.

We began talking and joking again until we got home.

I thanked her for giving me my first good time in a long time, and then we parted ways.

I hadn't realized it had gotten so late until I checked the clock on the oven when I went inside.

7:54? Wow, time flies by fast when you're having fun.

"Unlike those times in school when you were being picked on", I small voice in the back of my head whispered.

"Shut up!", I told my mind. I didn't want to think of those times or HIM at the moment.

I decided to take a shower to clear my mind. The hot water would make everything okay, I told myself.

I stripped off my clothes and stood under the water. It felt nice on my sore body.

I hadn't realized it until now, but speeding through the mall and walking those long distances had made me really pooped.

I got out of the shower after I had finished washing my hair and body, and dried everything with a towel.

I climbed into bed with my tired body, and fell asleep quicker than I thought.

"She won't ever get enough, once she gets a little touch. If I had it my wa-"

"Hello?", I muttered into my phone groggily. I didn't even bother to check who it was so I had no idea who it was on the phone.

"Oh, you've slept already?", the person on the phone said.

It was then that I looked at my phone and realized that it was the mystery text person.

The funny thing was that I felt as if I've heard this voice before.

No, I know that I've heard this voice before. But who...?

I looked at the clock next to my bed- 11:36.

"What do you want?", I asked. Who calls this late at night?

"Your sleepy voice is really cute", he answered.

"I'm awake", I answered annoyingly. I just wanted to go back to sleep.

"You wouldn't answer my texts", the person stated.

"Sorry", I replied, not sorry at all. I shut the phone and went back to sleep.

I woke up around noon the following morning, and it wasn't until then that I realized I had been a bit rude to the person.

I brushed it off and went to make a sandwich for myself.

I was putting the bread in the toaster when I heard my phone go off again.

"She won't ever get enough, once sh-" "Hello?"
