It Started with the List

The Password

Henry and I walk to our table in the courtyard. We get there to find the other three of them playing rock-paper-scissors. "I wanna play!" Henry exclaims. "What are we playing for?" He wonders, prepared to win.

"Who will get my phone from over there." Reece said, pointing to a table a few away from us.

"Why is it over there?" I ask.

"It might have slipped out of my hands?" Liz tried. We shook our heads at her. "Fine. I needed to throw something, his phone was there." She shrugged.

"I think you dropped this." A girl says, dragging a familiar red-head with her. "You should really put a password on it." The girl informed Reece.

"Thanks Emma, I'll consider it." Reece replied, grabbing his phone.

Before she could run away, Emma grabbed Amanda and pushed her to our table. "Oh my glob, just say hi." She urgged.

"Um.... uh, hi Reece." Amanda mumbles. "Can I go now?" She asks her best-friend.

"Like you mean it." She demanded.

"God, I freaking hate you Em." She sighs. She took a deep breath and smiled, "Hi Reece it's so nice to see you." She walked, more like ran, away.

"Yeah, um. Thanks for not laughing at her for trying." Emma said, then walked back to her table.

"I find that adorable." Liz squeals. "She was embarrassed to talk to you. Oh Em Ge, I ship it. I ship it so hard." She adds, still squealing.

"Ship it? What are you, in middle school?" Reece says, rolling his eyes and looking down on his phone.

"I can ship things in high school too, you freaking jerky butthole." She sticks her tongue out at him.

"And that's why we love you." Henry grins, then they high-five.

"I'm thanking the lord I didn't put a password on here." Reece mumbles to his phone.

"Why?" Adam asks. He turns his phone and shows it to us. He's on a contact info page. The contact's name was Amanda, with a picture of her as the contact pic. "You got her number without even having to ask for it? Props, man." Adam said with a grin.

"That's pulling right there." I state. "All hail the master." Then, we are all raising our hands in the air and bowing down to Reece.

"You guys are idiots, stop." He ordered. We laughed and stopped. "Emma probably put it in there anyway." He shrugged.

"So? You still got a hot chicks number. That's a big deal." Henry said. We all nodded in agreement.

"You guys need to stop worrying about me anyway. You have Ash, the pure one, to worry about." Reece bobbed his head up to me, then all eyes were on me.

"What's the status on your love life?" Liz asks.

"Still non-existent." I answer.

"We need to change that." Adam comments.

"No one is good enough?" I state as a question. They roll their eyes at me. "Look, I know I need to find a girlfriend and finish the list, but I haven't found the right girl yet." I sigh. Henry tapped his chin then grinned.

"You know, that Evans girl is pretty hot." He informed me.

"And you're such a teenage boy." I replied, smacking his head.

"Just think about it man. You need to finish the list and she lives next door." He said, rubbing his head.

"No way man, I didn't even know Steven had a sister till yesterday." I inform him.
