“Thank you Sam.” I smile at him as he just nods and I hop out. As I get out of the car the house door opens to my grandmother and Adrian who was running toward me.

“You didn’t have to come right away.” She says kissing my cheek but still proceeds to get in her car and go where ever she was trying to go rather quickly. I see Adrian approach me with open arms and a smile on his face.

“Adrian.” I coo swinging him once I collect him in my arms. He giggles as I pull him close giving him kisses all over his face.

I hear a door slam as I look up from Adrian to see Samuel walking towards us. Adrian looks up at him giving him a wide smile.

”You sure he isn’t yours?” He ask as I laugh shake my head.

“In pretty sure, But I’ve raised him as my own.” I explain as he nods making a silly face at Adrian. This was the first time today I’ve seen Samuel actually playful. The girls described him as an always angry person. Seeing him do this made my heart flutter in a way I’ve never felt before now. Even though Joe was my first boyfriend and I really do like him still even though I said how I feel, I’ve never felt this around him. I’ve only known this guy for a day. I shouldn’t feel like this.

“You’re a nice sister.” He states before nodding at me and turning around heading back to his car. I see him get in and watch me. I raise an eyebrow at Samuel as he rolls his head rolling down the window. “I’m not leaving until I know your inside your house safe.”

“Of course.” I walk into the house still holding Adrian close to me as I shut the door. I hear his truck roar to life and take off down the street.

“Adrian you miss me?” I ask as he nods.

“Let’s play please.” He shimmy out of my arms and runs into the living room. I lock the door behind me following him and sitting on the floor by his scattered toys.

“What do you want to play first?” I ask him as he ignores me and finds a collection of toys to surround himself with. I check my phone to see the girls blowing me up asking if I was home and if Samuel made a move on me. It’s obvious he wouldn’t. What guy that fine would make a move on me. Plus I doubt I would even take him on.

I play around with Adrian before giving him a bath and bringing him to bed with Me. It was only 9 at night but I was exhausted and so was Adrian.

“Aww look at them.” I hear someone coo as I squint my eyes open a little to see about 3 people peering over me but I close my eyes again pulling Adrian against my body as he squirms a little and I fully open my eyes to Jamil, Paige and Reuben watching me.

“Hi guys.” I grumble laying back in my bed as Adrian wraps his tiny arms around my body. “I’m going back to sleep.”

“No way. Wake up we are eating breakfast before school.” Jamil says shaking me which was also shaking Adrian as he shoots up looking at the people before him before whining which turns into a cry and I see Jamils playful expression turn into a panic on. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Get him to stop.”

“Of course. You wake him up forcefully I deal with his cries.” I say getting up as I pick him up and he quiets down laying his head on my shoulder.

“Paige find me an outfit I’ll get ready.” I say going into the bathroom and I see Jamil follow behind. “You okay?”

“I’m sorry.” He smiles as I put Adrian to sit on the counter. Jamil stands in front of him offering his hand which Adrian takes smiling at him. “He’s a cute kid. That’s so weird that you’re a teen mom.”

“Oh yeah isn’t it.” I roll my eyes at him when I clearly told him he wasn’t mine. I brush my teeth and attempt to brush Adrian before heading out the bathroom with Jamil in tow holding Adrian.

“Oooo your Wardrobe is cute but you need to add.” Paige says as I give her an eye.

“No I have a lot of clothes back at my old house.” I explain taking off my sleeping clothes and putting on a black long sleeve crop top that she picked out with light washed jeans.

“Well, you still need to add sweetie.” She smirks at me as I roll my eyes at her.

“Did you just get naked in front of us?” Reuben drools as I huff.

“Okay well let’s go.” I rush them out my room and downstairs where I see everyone else is seated making me groan slightly.

“Sleeping beauty is finally up.” My grandma calls. “I was just showing your baby pictures.”

“No.” I move through my friends grabbing the photo album from her hand making everyone laugh at my embarrassment as I feel a blush spread all over my face. “That’s enough let’s go please.”

“To the cars.” Jamil exclaims with Adrian in his arms. I take him away giving him a kiss before handing him to my grandmother.

“I don’t work today so you can stay out with your friends.” She smiles widely at me.

“It’s okay. I can still come home.” I tell her.

“Good! We will be out all night.” Jamil says interrupting my grandmothers reply who still haven’t left the house.

“Let’s go.” I push him out the house and the only person left waiting was Samuel . Jamil runs up to the car and Samuel points to the back seat.

“I wanna sit in the front.” He whines as Samuel glares harder and Jamil trudges to the back and I sit in the passenger putting on my seatbelt. It was only us three in the car as we drive down the road and into the town. “So how long has your grandma lives here?”

“My whole life actually. This is my mother’s hometown so I guess my grandmother just stayed.” I explain.

“Aww. So why’d you move here? I never really asked.”

“Jamil stay out of her business.” Samuel says which saves me the trouble of possibly explaining my whole life story.

“Oh sorry mister. Forgot the party pooper was here.” Jamil grumbles making Samuel snort.

“Stop pouting.” I giggle as Jamil rolls his eyes. “Anyways I probably wasn’t going to tell you.”

“What type of friendship is this!” He exclaims.

“We are only two days in.” I shake my head at him as he grumbles.

“But this will be a long term friendship so you have to tell me.” He says as the car jerks to a stop and of course Jamil isn’t his seat belt and he gets a terrible whiplash. “You asshole!”

“Oh I was just break checking.” Samuel smirks parking the car and hoping out as I follow suit. We get into IHOP and see everyone is already sitting down.

“Hey adopted little sister.” Luke smirks at me as I sit next to him. I see he’s warming up to me.

“Lucas, have you now accepted me?” I ask as I see him hold back a glare before smiling at me.

“Maybe if you stop calling me Lucas.” He said through gritted teeth. Maybe not.

“No can do.” I smile back at him as his smile drops and he looks away.

“Get away from me.”

“Yes sir.” I say standing from my sitting position but sit back down because Jamil decided to sit right next to me and I’m trapped. I scoot into Lucas smiling up at him as his glare return to his face.

“I’ve only known you two days and you make me really glad I’m an only child.” He tells me as I shrug picking up a menu.

“My siblings love me.” I simply tell him.

The waiter comes around taking our orders as the boys talk about the upcoming football game.

“I think I’ll sit this game out.” Paige says as Travis gives her a look.

“You can’t not come to the biggest game this year.” He shakes his head at her.

“Actually I can. The Last time we almost got trampled.” She exclaims as Luke rolls his eyes.

“That was because you don’t like to listen to us.” He points out at her as she fold her arms like a child and huffs.

“Fine, how about you Alex? You up to go?” Tina ask as I nod smiling.

“I’ve always enjoyed watching football, especially the packed games. Also concession food is always bomb.” I laugh at their faces.

“So your only in it for the food?” Jamil ask c*****g his head at me as I nod and he smiles widely. “Good we are totally pigging out before the game.”

“Shouldn’t you not pig out before the game?” I ask as he shrugs smirking.

“I can eat all I want before any game.” He smirks as Travis tsk him smirking.

“The last time you pigged out before a game, you threw up during half time and almost passed out in the last quarter.”

“Okay alright well I’ll watch you pig out then.” He pouts as I laugh.

“I don’t pig out.” I roll my eyes as I see Erin give me a look.

“Alex, I have a video of you from a couple months ago winning a hot dog eating contest against 4 other guys.” She blabs as I send my head back into the chair glaring at her.

“Okay Erin I get it I can pig out! I didn’t eat that whole day.” I explain as she shakes her head. “Also as a friend you shouldn’t sell me out like this.”

“Don’t make me show the videos.” She laughs as I squeak.

“Okay okay fine. Please don’t show those videos.” I exclaim to her because the videos are super embarrassing and very much unattractive. As I protest I see the boys smirking at me.

“So you can pig out?” Jamil laughs.

“I’m not pigging out in front of nobody.” I tell him as he smirks.

“Oh yeah you are.”
