"Reece!"

Reece looks up from his phone.

"Yes?"

"Who the hell are you texting?" George asks as he walks towards him, trying to look at Reece's phone in the process.

Reece shoves his phone in his back pocket.

"Uh nobody. Just my dad."

"It's not a girl?"

"No? Why would it be a girl?"

The boys go silent.

Reece's phone goes off, the familiar ping sound that he has set only for Leanna filling the silence.

Reece has to force himself not to smile.

"That's not your father."

"You-"

"Ha! I got it!" Blake says as he pulls Reece's phone out of his pocket and runs off.

"Blake, don't!"

Reece reaches out to grab it, but just barely misses.

"I would rather be FaceTiming you though." Blake smirks at the message. "Who the hell is Leanna?"

"A friend."

George hits his arm. "You have a girlfriend and you didn't even tell us!"

The two boys suddenly take offense to that.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"Then who is she?"

"A friend."

"A friend?"

"A friend that I have never even met."

"What?"

"I accidentally texted her instead of Joe."

"And you guys just formed a friendship?"

George's eyes widen. "What the hell is wrong with you? She could've exposed your number or something!"

"That's why I didn't tell her my last name until the other day."

"How long have you guys been texting each other?"

"A week and a half? Maybe two? At least I think so." Reece shrugs. "It was before my appendix ruptured."

"Do you like this girl?"

"She's very pretty."

Blake awes.

"And she's a lovely girl." He smiles at the thought of her. "Her laugh is amazing. It's-"

"Someone's got a crush!"

"Blake!"

"Who keeps staring at you?"

Reece looks over at George.

"What are you talking about?"

"Just look you dimwit."

The boys look over at a girl with curly brown hair and bright blue eyes staring at them.

Reece's eyes widen at the sight of her.

If they hadn't FaceTimed the day before, he would think that she's a fan, not the girl that he's grown to like over the past two weeks.

"Leanna?"

She grabs the hand of the little girl that was sitting behind her and runs off.

"Leanna!"
