sat down beside me like he owned the place.
“Hi, Cannon, have a seat.” I rolled my eyes and huffed.
“Some friends are coming over to my house on Friday to watch some movies.”
“Really? Like who?”
“Ryan and Autumn are supposed to come. Where is she?” He looks around knowing she is normally right beside me.
“Detention.”
“That sucks.”
“I’ll come only if we aren’t watching scary movies!”
“I think I can arrange that.”
“Cool. What’s your address?”
“Hand me your phone and I’ll enter it under my name.” He winked, and his dimples were showing more than ever as I handed my phone over. Dang he was cute. And very conceited; more than he had the right to be.
He hands back my phone then stands up.
“Be there around nine. My parents will be gone till at least one.”
“Okay,” I muttered. No parents? How was I going to convince my parents that I was going to a house movie party with no parents?

Autumn walked home with me after school today, and we began our plan for the movie night with Cannon and Ryan. I was going to have to stay the night at her house again otherwise I wasn’t going to be able to go. I knew I would have to lie again about where I was going because there is no way my parents would go for it. It was the only sure way to pull it off.
“I still can’t believe he invited me.”
“Why wouldn’t he?”
“Look at me, Autumn. Let’s not pretend I am a hot girl! He could get tons of girls that are a lot prettier than me. Why me? I have already rejected his advances. He knows he’s not going to get anywhere with me.”
“Reese, you don’t give yourself enough credit. You’re very pretty. I've always told you that. Anyway, he must like you to keep inviting you.”
“Yeah, but I mean, body wise. I am nothing like some of the girls that drool all over him. I see them around him all day at school.”
“Stop it. Maybe he just likes you for you. What’s wrong with that?”
“I don’t have much experience and look what a fool I made of myself with Garrison the night at the carnival?”
“Garrison is an idiot. He definitely has issues. Those are his not yours.”
“He might have issues but he is… Garrison. I want to kiss Garrison and he doesn’t want to kiss me. Cannon wants to kiss and do Lord knows what with me and I don’t want to. Explain that to me!”
I paused and then started back up. “What if Cannon wants something I won’t do? I’m not like you Autumn.”
“What in the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“I don’t mean that. I mean I’m not comfortable like you are with your body. You’re confident. You’re experienced in dating. I don’t even think I feel that way anymore about him anyway.”
“Relax would ya? Stop acting like this. Be confident. Let’s change the subject anyway. Is Cannon not freaking hot?”
“Yeah he is, but so is Garrison. Did you see Garrison today?”
“Why waste your time even thinking of Garrison? He said he just wants to be friends.”
“Yeah I know…”
We didn’t talk the rest of the way home. My wheels were turning in my head. There was only one person on my mind. Garrison.

We arrived at Cannon’s right on time. Autumn’s mom dropped us off around the corner and we walked the rest of the way. Her mom was so cool and always did what Autumn asked. I was jealous on nights like this. It seems like her mom trusted her more than mine did. I was glad Autumn didn’t want to drive tonight seeing as she isn’t the best driver in the dark.
“Hey, baby, glad you’re here.” Cannon came up to me and kissed my cheek. Baby?
Autumn went up to Ryan and jumped up to hug him wrapping her legs around him. He started laughing and then laid a kiss on her. I turned when I saw the kiss wasn’t ending.
Cannon walked me towards the kitchen and
