1 One. Amelia

Amelia! Wake up!" My mom shrieks like a banshee. Meanwhile I've been awake for the last 2 hours, contemplating whether missing intro to neurology is worth it or not. Maybe I could meet up with Kat at nooks and crannies, we've got that psyc assignment due tomorrow or m-mayb Amelia! Yells my mother for the millionth time and interrupts my train of thought.

"Mom I'm up!" I groan as I haul my ass to the shower. I grab some sweats and Melissa's the Smiths t-shirt, I'm going to be so late and Kat might kill me, shoes?! Where are my shoes, I run like a maniac all over our house.

"Melissa where are my shoes" I ask as I attempt to take apart her room, "they're in the freaking living room" she says annoyed. My sister is a pain in the ass but she is a human GPS at finding things in this house. Book bag in one hand and phone in the other I make my way out.

"bye guys and mom please check on storm his probably curled up on the sofa somewhere".

As I'm driving I notice an incoming call from Kat, thank God for hands free mode "kitty Kat don't freek out I'm literally 5 minutes away from nooks". Nooks and crannies are mine and Kat's favourite bookstore but it's one of those bookstore slash library sorta places.

Kat laughs "turn left and meet me at the café society" I would be mad at her for not texting me sooner about the change of plans but I need my caffeine fix before class today.

"Lia! Over here" calls Kat as I walk in, this place isn't crowded today that's a first. "I see rolled out of bed chic is the look of the day" Kat jokes "I kinda overslept, because I started on that psyc assignment and got carried away until about 2 this morning so there wasn't any time to put any thought in today's look but enough of that drinks are on me what are you having? Kat stares pensively into space" I'll have a latte and a chocolate croissant pretty please Lia, I'll owe you , promise ".

As I stand in line looking at all the coffee options and I decided on a mocha, I love the songs that play in cafés, especially the one right now. " hello, anybody there, what would you like? " distracted by the song and coffee options I barely noticed that the line has moved and that I'm in front.

"I-I'll have a standard mocha, large latte and chocolate croissant, to go please" I am barely able to form words because 1.this has to be the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and 2. I'm probably freaking her out by all the staring and stumbling over my own words. "coming right up" she says with a smile. "wait" I say as she's about to walk away "what song is this?", slow dancing in the dark by Joji.

The day goes by and before I know it all of my classes are done. As I'm walking to my car, I see Sarah.

"Amelia I'm so glad to see you, I asked Jarrod to give me a ride home but he called to say that he can't because of football practice so could I please get a ride with you","sure, no problem".

"so I was thinking we should double date" adds Sarah out of nowhere, "you do know that I'm single right" she chuckles" yes silly I do, that's why I told Jarrod to ask this really cute guy, I think his a year ahead of you, Samuel Montgomery, do you know him " , "uh yeah, I know Sam, he tutored me last year"

here's the thing I'm gay. No one knows not even Kat or Alex and we've been best friends practically since birth. I've known since I was 13 years old after Cameron my so called boyfriend kissed me and I was wildly unimpressed and what defined it even more was during a game of truth or dare when Erica gave me the quickest yet sweetest peck on the lips and that's when things become extremely clear to me.

"anyway, what do think? You and Samuel and Jarrod and I? Double date" isn't Sarah tired of trying to set me up honestly, I give her the same answer every time.

"yeah, I'll think about it and I'll let you know" I say as we get to her house just in time "thanks again Lia and don't forget to let me know!".

"Amelia is that you honey", "yeah hey mom, I got in a bit later today, gave Sarah a lift home" mom hugs me, we continue to have small talk and after a few minutes of arguing with her saying that she doesn't need any help with dinner, I end up just deciding to finish psyc and have an early night or so I thought.
