"Do you want to eat with us Autumn?" Cyrus asked me. "We were on our way to eat some pizza."
As if on cue, my stomach grumbled. All of the guys snorted, but their stomachs rumbled too.
"Let me just ask my mom." I told them.
I got my phone out and dialed my house number.
"Hello?" My mom asked through the phone.
"Hey mom, can I go eat some pizza with some friends?"
"Oh sure, we were having leftovers for dinner anyway. I'm just glad you're going out with friends. Is there any guys there? I don't want you and your group of girls to get cornered to an alley."
Too late for that, I thought to myself.
"Yeah, like four of them." Not a total lie, right?
"Can I talk to them?"
"What?" I exclaimed. The guys looked at me with curiosity.
"Put this phone on speaker, Autumn." She ordered me.
I looked at the guys. "My mom wants to talk to you, all of you."
They exchanged looks with each other, then shrugged.
"Hit us with her best shot," Luis sang.
I glared at him, and he fell silent.
"Don't mess up." I warned them.
I pressed the speaker button.
"You're on speaker." I told my mom.
"Hello!" My mom said. "I'm Autumn's mom, Joan, but you can call me by Mrs. Griffin too."
"Hi Mrs. Griffin," they all said in unison.
"Hey, I'm Luis Stinson."
"My name's Dean Rodriguez."
"This is Cyrus Jones."
"And I'm Wyatt Matthews, driving the car."
"Nice to meet, well, talk with you guys." She laughed at her own joke.
I silently groaned. That's so lame.
"So do any of you guys have girlfriends?"
My jaw dropped. You just got to be kidding me.
Dean chuckled. "Um, no, and I'm sure Luis isn't close to having one."
Luis punched Dean on the shoulder.
"I'm single," Wyatt said.
"Me too," Cyrus told my mom.
My mom was quiet. "So four single guys? How many girls are there?"
"Four," I blurted out. If girls outnumbered guys, my mom will be okay with it.
"Really, can I talk to them too?"
I looked at them. "Do something," I whispered to them.
"Ashlynn is back in business," Luis said, cracking his knuckles.
Does this mean what I think is means?
Luis cleared his throat. "Uh, hello ma'm? My name's Ashlynn Burke. Nice to meet you!" He said in a high pitch voice.
"And I'm like, Delilah Reyes," Dean with a higher voice, then coughed, rubbing his throat.
Cyrus laughed, then caught himself and made a high pitch laugh. "And I'm Chloe James, Autumn's BFF."
