"How did you know I was here?" I asked Miles curiously, still confused as to why he's here. I made sure to keep my voice low as Shelby was on the other side of him.

He frowned at me, "But you texted me, asking me if I wanted to hang out. I told you I'd meet you here."

"The fuck? No I didn't," I frowned in confusion.

He took his phone out, showing me the conversation that took place about thirty minutes ago. It clearly shows him receiving texts from my phone, asking him to pull through so he and I can hang out.

I know that thirty minutes ago, I was most probably driving. I did not use my phone at all. Shelby had my phone, but she was only checking her make up. Realisation suddenly dawned on me and I sighed and rolled my eyes to myself when I remembered that I had caught her frantically typing away at my screen.

"Shelby," Miles and I both simultaneously said. Except, Miles said something more like 'Sheryl' which made me giggle.

"What's her name again?" He asked, looking so cute in his puzzled state.

"It's Shelby," I whispered. "She'd kill herself if she heard you already forgot her name."

He just shakes his head before turning back to look at the screen. Oh yeah... Shelby asked to watch 'A quiet place' and we had no choice but to trail after her.

"Psst!"

"Psst!"

I quickly looked to my side to see that Shelby was calling me.

"Yeah?" I looked at her questioningly.

"Don't you wanna come for a sleep over today?" She offered. "I have Mean Girls, Ten things I hate about you, Rough Night, Something Borrowed, and How to lose a guy in ten days. Movie night?"

I smiled, "I love the sound of that."

She smiles back and leaned back to focus on the screen, taking some popcorn from the box we were all sharing.

The background music in the scene we were watching started getting all intense and high-pitched, signaling a possible jump scare. I waited anxiously until... nothing. It was like one moment it was getting too suspenseful, and then followed by _________.

Nothingness.

But no, not for Shelby. She screamed out loud, for God knows what reason, and clung onto Miles' muscular arm. The outrageous look on Miles' face had me wanting to double over in laughter as I brought my hand up to my mouth to restrain myself.

Come on Shelby, really?

I thought her game was better than that, but I guess I was wrong. If it wasn't for her popularity, she probably would just be another normal girl at Macedonia High.

Miles turned to look at me questioningly, looking like he felt harrassed. "What the fuck...?" He said, dragging it out in a low voice.

"Oh my God, somebody get that blondie out of here," A guy behind us muttered. Miles and I snorted, unable to contain ourselves. Shelby turned back to shoot him a glare, which made him shut up within record time.

I knew exactly what she was trying to do. Make the guy feel sorry for you and pull you into a comforting hug because you're scared, just so you can feel all 'safe' and warm? Yeah, it really wasn't working because Miles didn't look like he was about to do that.

I wonder how much it takes for Shelby to take a hint. For someone who boys usually 'cry over',  her tactics were beyond desperate.

It was actually ridiculous to witness.

After some time, I felt myself get tired and let the exhaustion take its cause over my body. I leaned back in my seat and fell asleep. It wasn't long before I blacked out.

I am awoken by the sound of loud music and that's when I slowly opened my eyes to see the credits rolling in on the large screen in front of us. But for some reason, I'm not that ready to wake up yet. My reason is that I'm lying on a really comfortable pillow or whatever it is. It takes me a couple of minutes to realise that the 'pillow' was Miles' shoulder.

I lifted my head from his shoulder at the same time the lights came on.

Miles smiled at me, "You're awake?"

"No," I rolled my eyes, a small hint of a smile on my face. "Of course I'm awake."

"You just woke up and you're already sarcastic as hell," He pointed out as he pursed his lips.

"That movie was so scary!" Shelby breaks us out of our stance and we both turn to look at her, only to look back at each other with puzzled looks as we continued walking to the parking lot.

"Is she talking about the same movie we were watching?" Miles asked lowly, leaning in close to my ear and sending shivers down my spine. "Cause it was boring as hell."

"I know right?!" I laughed. I was starting to really enjoy Miles' company. It was almost like the good old days, for me obviously, he still doesn't know it was me that he used to sneakily steal popcorn from every time his was finished in the cinema. 

"Know what?" Shelby chirped up.

"Um... that I'm hungry?" I said, posing it as a question. Miles shook his head at me as if saying 'You need to learn how to lie better'. I just scowled in response.

"I'll be right behind you guys," Miles said. "I just want to make sure you get home safely."

I actually thought that was sweet of him and I was left speechless. I didn't think a guy could be so thoughtful.

Shelby squealed as soon as we got into the car. "You won't believe what happened."

"What?"

She was so jumpy and excited, I was actually curious for her to tell me. The last time I saw Shelby like this was when she got the opportunity to finally dump Mike, her eighth grade boyfriend.

"Guess!" She grinned so widely, she looked like an idiot.

I rolled my eyes and turned into a corner. "I don't have the time or the energy for that."

She waved her hand dismissively at me, "Ugh, you're no fun."

"You knew that when we became friends." I dryly pointed out, making her laugh a bit.

"True."

"So are you going to tell me or what?"

"Oh yeah. Miles and I are dating now. It's official!" She says, clapping her hands and releasing a small scream of excitement...

Much to my dismay.
