"Yes," he takes my hand, but I don't reject it. It was a nice gesture.

We walked inside, the host seats us and we all wait.

"So, Kelsey" Cory says "how come I've never met you?"

I chuckled "I should be saying the same thing"

We both looked at shelby who was in a conversation with Matthew.

"Shelby" I said, she looks up.

"Yes?"

"We were just wondering how come we never met each other earlier"

"Oh, well, you were with kyle and you were with that girl, Brenda or something like that"

"So, thats why trust me there were days when I wanted you guys to meet already but you were both off the market while I was just getting back on"

"How long have you known each other?" I asked.

"Three years" he shrugs.

"How did you meet?" This time it wasn't my voice, it was Justin's.

"When she was with um, Jake" he tried to be careful with the topic and I was thankful for that.

It was kind of awkward, but we made it through. Cory was funny, real nice at that. For him to be ex friends with Jake he was kind of different, which surprises me how he end up being friends with Jake.

I couldn't help but notice that Justin was being super clingy with Laura, she'd be extremely loud or so would he every time Cory and I got deep in conversation. They'd earn looks from all of us, even the restaurant.

"Kelsey, thank you for coming out tonight" he smiles.

"Thank you for wanting to meet me, I had a great time"

And it was true. The vibe was more different than what Kyle and I would have.

"We should do this again" he says, but whispers the next part "just not with your friends"

"Agreed" I laughed.

"Can I have your number?"

"Oh, sure" I said.

I unlocked my phone and handed it to him, I did the same with his.

"You have a Snapchat notification" he points out.

"Oh, thanks" I smiled.

I checked it and it was from Shelby, a picture she sent to me of me and Cory laughing.

"Thanks a lot, shelbs" I laughed.

"I couldn't help it, you guys were too cute"

"Thanks, I'd say the same" Cory smirks, I laughed and blushed just a little.

"Can I see your phone?" He asks, I knitted my eyebrows.

"Sure" I unlocked it and handed it to him.

He opens the Snapchat app, he adds himself then pulls up the camera. He holds it in front of my face, then tells me to smile.

Instead of smiling, I frowned at the phone.

"Wait, I wasn't ready!" I pouted, Cory laughs.

"Your little dimple is cute" he says, I blushed then looked away.

"Aw, kels you're blushing" Shelby awes.

"No I'm not" I laughed, we were all just having a good time.

"I'm going to caption this" he says

'She's a cutie'

"What did you say?" I asked.

"Nothing" he shrugs, handing me my phone back. I glared at him playfully, but ended up snickering.

The night came to an end, Cory and I talked for a bit more before he left and I rejoined the rest.

"How is he?" Shelby asked, once I got back in.

"He's amazing" I blushed.

"I knew you'd like him,"

"I don't like him, I mean I do but not in that way. I barely know him"

"Yeah, but they wau you were blushing tonight said other"

"What did you guys think of him?" I asked.

"He was cool, I liked him" Matt answers "he seems like a great guy for you."

"What about you Justin?" Shelby asked.

"Who, Cory? Oh, he was okay I guess. I'm not a fan of him,but whatever"

You can hear Matt scoff, but he didn't say anything further.

"Well, I didn't know he graduated from our school"

"I'm surprised, you've never seen him"

"Remember I was always with Kyle" I mocked her.

"Shut up, I do not sound like that" she laughs.

"So, who's Jake?" Matt asked.

"The past" she says not wanting to further talk about it. .

I decided to help by changing the subject.

"Justin, how long you and Lana been together?"

"Long enough" she answers, then cuddles into his side. Justin looked at me, then kisses her forehead.

He seemed as if he really wasn't interested in talking to me, so I left it at that.

....
