[22] Playing Matchmaker
"JULIANNA! YOU'RE HERE EARLY!" I scream, jumping up and down as I look at my best friend. She looks just the same. She has the same long jet black hair and big brown eyes. She's wearing an old band tee that I gave to her years ago with ripped black jeans.
"KITTY KAT!" She yells as she runs towards me and hugs me really tight.
"I missed you so much, Jules!" I squeal, ignoring her annoying nickname for me.
"I missed you too! You have no idea how weird it is to go to school without you," she says.
"I can only imagine" I laugh as my phone starts to ring.
"It's Lindsey. Why is she calling you?" She asks, looking at my phone.
"Oh my god! Macey's birthday party!" I exclaim, suddenly remembering.
"She's having a party?" Jules asks.
"Chase and Lindsey are throwing her a surprise party." I explain to her as we walk towards the couch.
"Wow. I didn't realize that Macey is such good friends with Chase." She says, sitting down.
"That's the thing. I didn't either. Macey says that they barely even spoke to each other before I moved her and now all of a sudden they're BFFs?" I pour her some coffee. Julianna is a coffee addict, just like me.
"Maybe he just wanted to help Lindsey out?" She suggests.
"Oh right! I still haven't told you. Macey has been lying to me this whole. She used to date Chase." I fill her in on everything Ashleigh told me yesterday.
"Damn. That's insane." She sighs.
"Will still thinks Chase is up to something. Like he has an evil plan." I shrug.
"Evil plan?!" She burst out laughing. "I really have to meet this guy." She gulps her coffee.
"Oh don't worry. You will tonight." I assure her.
"At the party?" She asks.
"Nope, the party is next week. Besides, there's no way that Chase or Lindsey would have invited Will." I state and she gives me a confused look.
"Will and I were planning to go for a movie tonight." I say.
"Oh, hell no. I'm not gonna be the third wheel!" She protests, narrowing her eyes.
"Which is why I plan on asking Alex to come along. He's really awesome." I grin.
"Are you trying to set me up with Alex?" She questions. Oops. She and her boyfriend Lars had broken up two weeks ago. Distance didn't work for them.
"Maybe." I say coyly.
"Well then he'd better be as cool as you say he is." She smiles.
"Trust me, you'll love him."

The lights are dim and the annoying commericals go on in the background before the movie starts.
"Where are you? We're waiting!" I yell at Will on the phone.
"We're right outside! We'll be there in less than two minutes." He promises.
"You better." I say and hang up.
Jules grabs a fistful of the caramel popcorn kept between us.
"Ew! This is caramel!" She spits it out and puts the rest back into the tub.
"No shit, sherlock." I snark, munching on it.
"I thought you were getting the cheese popcorn." She complains.
"They were out of cheese." I shrug.
"Couldn't you have gotten salted popcorn?" She rolls her eyes.
"Ew, no. That's gross." I wrinkle my nose.
"You're gross," she retorts.
"Your face is gross."
"Your face is grosser!"
"That's not a word, genius."
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a prime example of the type of conversations Julianna and I have. Amongst others, I mean.
"Hey! Told you we'd make it on time." Will says as he and Alex walk up to our seats. Will looks gorgeous as ever in a white shirt with blue jeans. Very James Dean, I must say. Alex is dressed more casually in a hoodie with black pants. I turn around to see Jules checking him out. Yay! I quickly introduce them to Jules.
Alex is holding a giant tub of popcorn and I try to take advantage of the situation.
"Say, Alex, is that popcorn salted by any chance?" I ask, hoping it is.
"It is. Why?" Alex asks and Jules elbows me.
"Well, Jules doesn't like my caramel popcorn and was just about to go buy some salted popcorn." I give him a look.
"Oh, that's cool. You can share my popcorn, Jules." I shift to the next seat and Alex sits between me and Jules, and Will sits on my other side.
"KD, are you trying to trying to set us up?" Alex whispers to me.
"Maybe." I admit coyly.
"Thanks." He winks.
I turn towards Will and admire his perfectly sculpted face.
"Hi," he smirks.
"Hi," I respond.
"Hi," He repeats.
"Hi," I twirl my hair.
"Can you two shut up?! The movie is about to start!" The old lady in front of us turns around and yells.
"Sorry ma'am," Will says, trying to keep a straight face. We all burst into laughter when she turns back.
Will places his hand on mine and I rest my head on his shoulder. I take a deep breath. He smells so good. I'm so glad he doesn't use disgusting body sprays like Axe. Who in their right mind thinks those smell good?!

"That was the worst movie I've ever seen," I state as we walk out of the movie theater.
"I thought it was funny." Alex points out.
"Yeah, for a horror movie." I chuckle.
"So are we all gonna go back to your place, Kat?" Jules asks.
"Sounds good to me." Will nods.
We walk towards the spot where the guys parked their motorcycles.
"So, I'll go with Will and you go with Alex." I say to Jules.
"I know what you're trying to do, Kitty Kat," she laughs.
"You know you love it. See ya at home," I say as she walks up to Alex and I walk towards Will. I observe them as she climbs onto his motorcycle. They look so cute together and I already ship them.
"Alright matchmaker, hop on," I do as Will says. I hold on to him tightly and it feels like heaven. I sniff his neck. Gosh, I'm such a weirdo! I can't help it though. He just smells really damn good.
I see Alex's motorcycle parked outside my house when we get there. He and Jules probably just reached too.
"Wyatt's not home?" Will asks.
"Nope, he went for some party." I shrug.
We enter the house to see Alex and Jules having a full-on makeout session.
"Wow. That was quick." Will chuckles.
"Oh! Hey!" Jules quickly pulls away from Alex, looking embarrassed. Alex looks proud.
Conversation starts to flow naturally within the four of us. Julianna gets along with the boys as well as I do and they seem to really like her too.
"I have an idea! Let's play truth or dare." Jules suggests.
"Yes! That's my favorite game." I agree and Will and Alex do too.
The last time I played truth or dare was at that horrid sleepover at Lindsey's. Ew.
"I'll start," announces Jules.
"Alex, truth or dare?" She asks.
"Truth." He chooses after thinking for a couple of seconds.
"Tell us your biggest and most scandalous secret." Jules smirks. Ooh. This ought to be good.
"Fine, but you guys have to promise not to laugh." He sighs.
"We won't," Will says.
"Alright, here it goes. I might have... Uh... Maybe... Hooked up with Augusta Gilbert last summer," he stutters.
"Oh my gosh!"
"WTF? Aunt Augusta?!"
"Alex, why didn't I know this?!"
The last reaction came from Will and the other two came from Jules and I.
I'm honestly in shock... I mean, ew. My crazy aunt!
"How?!" I question. "And WHY?"
"We ran into each other at the supermarket and the rest was history." He says sheepishly.
"How was it?" Will chuckles.
"I hate to admit it, but it wasn't too bad." Alex's face is as red as his hair.
"Would you do it again?" Jules asks.
"Never. She scares the shit outta me." Alex gulps.
"Moving on! KD, truth or dare?" Alex changes the topic.
"Truth."
"Were you in love with Chase?" He asks, seriously dampening the mood.
"Must you bring up that demon?" Jules protests and he shrugs. Will stays silent throughout.
"No way. I mean he was cute and all, but love is a strong word. Besides, we all know what a tool he turned out to be." I tell them.
"Good to know." Alex nods and I see a hint of a smile on Will's face
"Will, truth or dare?" I ask.
"Dare," he states.
"I dare you to shave an eyebrow off." I smirk.
"Oh, hell no." He denies.
"Oh, hell yes!" Alex chimes in.
"Do it! Do it!" Jules starts to chant and we all join in.
"Do it!"
"Do it!"
Will shakes his head.
"Do it! Do i-"
"Fine! Jeez, you guys can be annoying." He finally accepts.
He walks to the bathroom and when he comes out, his whole face looks different. He did it! How does he manage to look so good with just one eyebrow? How does he always look so good?
HOW?
"Damn." Alex laughs.
"You know, it actually kind of suits you," I admit.
"I agree." Jules says. I quickly take out my phone and snap a picture of Will's new look.
"Julianna, truth or dare?" Will asks.
"Dare," Jules says bravely.
"Make an obscene phone call to a random person," Will has an evil, yet sexy look on his face.
"Oooooh." I smirk. I take Julianna's phone and dial a random number and put it on speaker.
"Harold Buffy's phone," A middle aged male voice says.
"Hey, Harold. How are you tonight?" Jules chatted, trying to sound sexy. Alex starts to laugh and I quickly elbow him, making him stop.
"Very well, thank you. Who, may I ask, is this?" He questions.
"This is... uh...Macey." Jules says quickly and I give her a look that says 'What's wrong with you?!'
"Macey Gilbert?" He sounds surprised.
"N-no. Tonight I am Macey Sexypants. What are you wearing, Harry?" Jules grins and we all start to laugh.
"I beg your pardon? I'm a married man!" He exclaims.
"Okaaay, that's enough!" I hang up the phone and we all burst into laughter. "Are you crazy?! Why would you say Macey's name?" I can't decide if I should laugh or get mad.
"I don't know! It's the first thing that popped into my mind!" Jules giggles.
We spend another hour playing the game until Will and Alex decide to go home.
"Well, that was fun." Jules smiles.
"I knew you'd like them."

I think Edy Ganem AKA Valentina from Devious Maids is a good fit for her.
