Samantha's POV
Saturday finally rolled around and Grace and Emma were over getting ready for the dinner with me.
Well, they were ready. I was still in pyjamas, staring at my closet.
"Guuuyyyysssss...." I whined. "I don't know what to wear. I don't have anything nice."
"Just wear jeans and a shirt." Grace said, pointing to her outfit. "Ya well at least yours is cute!" I said.
She was wearing a flowy white top and some high waisted jean shorts. She wore her brown leather jacket and matching boots with it. She looked flawless.
Emma was wearing a cropped Nike sweater and some ripped jean shorts. Her hair was up in a ponytail, pieces of hair falling out giving it that casual look.
"I mean, even Emma looks cute! And she's wearing a sweatshirt!" I said, pointing at her. "Bitch I'm always cute." Emma said, flipping the hair in her ponytail, making herself look kind of silly.
"Do you think Hayes will like it though?" Emma asked, looking down at herself. "I thought you guys agreed to just be friends." Grace said.
"Doesn't mean I don't wanna impress him." "I DON'T UNDERSTAND RELATIONSHIPS! I'VE ONLY LIKED ONE GUY AND THAT'S SHAWN! HE DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT WHAT I LOOK LIKE!" Grace announced, plopping on my bed.
"He liked you in one of my shirts though." I said. "Yea, because it showed the little cleveage I actually have." "OOHHHH!" Emma said laughing. "SHAWN'S A FUCKBOOYYYY."
Grace would have been mad if she wasn't laughing her ass off. I laughed too, just because it was so not true. Shawn was a sweet heart. But I guess boys will be boys.
"What about Aaron?" I asked, after everyone stopped laughing. "What?" Grace asked. "You know, Aaron. The guy you had a crush on and who you were going to go out with until Cameron ruined it..." I said, stating the obvious.
"Oh! Umm... I don't know. I guess I kind of forgot about him for awhile because I was still embarrassed about the whole situation. Then I started to hang out with Shawn more. And, well, the rest is history." Grace said, shrugging.
"Or chemistry." Emma said, raising her eyebrows. Grace chuckled.
"Okay. Back to more pressing matters, WHAT DO I WEAR?" I said, plopping face first into my bed beside Grace.
"What about this?" Emma said, reaching to the back of my closet to pull out a dress. It was a black lace dress that reached mid thigh and had a gold belt around the waist.
"Oooohh!" Grace said, her eyes lighting up. "I haven't seen you wear this before! When did you get it?"
I sighed and sat up. "My mom bought it for me for Christmas. I haven't worn it though. Not very many special occasions."
"WELL NOW THERE IS ONE!" Emma said, throwing it at me. "Put it on!" Grace added.
"Okay. I guess there's nothing else to wear." I said, reluctant to put it on. "Oh my god just put it on." Grace said, shoving me out the room and into the bathroom.
"WOW. RUDE. I CAN'T EVEN CHANGE IN MY OWN ROOM?!" I said, laughing. "IT'S MY ROOM NOW BITCH!" She said, her laughter disappearing as she ran back to my room.
I rolled my eyes and slide on the dress. I stared at myself in the mirror, making sure my hair wasn't a mess as I stepped out of the bathroom.
I walked back into my room and I swear to god Emma turned into an opera singer. "OH MY GOOOODDD!" She squealed! "YOU LOOK FANTASTIC! I AM TOTALLY STEALING THIS DRESS FROM YOU LATER!"
I laughed. "It's all yours." I said, knowing that I probably wouldn't ever wear it again.
"YESSS!" She said, hugging me. "Can't. Breathe." I said, feeling my face turn white. "Oh." Emma said, stepping back. "Sorry."
----
Shawn was sitting on the couch ready by the time we came into the living room. He was wearing a button up shirt and some jeans, the sleeves rolled up exposing half of his tattoo on his arm.
He looked up and smiled, his eyes locked on Grace. "Wow." He breathed. "You look amazing." "Thanks. Although I'm only wearing a shirt and jeans." Grace said, looking down at herself blushing.
"Okay.... If you two are done eye fucking each other, we need to go. Everyone else is already there." I said, looking at my phone and reading Cameron's texts.
Grace and Shawn glared at me, but headed towards the door anyway, muttering how 'annoying' I am.
"C'mon you guys. You love me and you know it." I said, slinging both my arms around their shoulders.
"Not anymore!" Grace announced. "Yeah, is it possible to like, legally disown you as my sister?" Shawn asked. I glared at then. "Wow guys, totally feeling the love right now."
"CAAANNNN YOOOUUU FEEELLL THEEEE LOOOVVVEEE TONIGHT?!" Emma screamed/sang, making Grace groan. "No, but I can feel my ear buds exploding from you yelling." She muttered, rubbing the inside of her ear.
-----
My stomach growled as we pulled up at Olive Garden. "YAASSS!! IM STARVING!" I said, jumping out of the car.
I heard Shawn chuckle and shake his head as Emma ran after me. "WAIT FOR MEEEE!!"
I smiled as I reached the door, the smell of delicious food filling my nose. "Sam! Over here!" Someone yelled. I looked around and immediately recognized a friendly pare of pale blue eyes.
"Sup Grier number 1? Number 2." I said, walking up to the table and greeting Nash and Hayes.
"Where's the rest of the nerds?" Emma asked, sitting down. "Emily went to the bathroom. Cameron went to get more breadsticks." Hayes said, chomping down the last breadstick in the basket.
"Breadsticks?" Grace asked, her and Shawn sitting down. "I GOT DA BREADSTICKS!" I smiled as I recognized that goofy yell anywhere.
"YAS!" I said, jumping up and running to snatch the breadsticks from Cameron.
"Damn girl." Cameron said, looking at me. I blushed and rolled my eyes. "Is it hot in here? Or is it just you?" He asked, pecking me on the lips.
"No, actually it's like 84 degrees in here and the air conditionings broken." Hayes said, appearing behind me.
Cameron glared at him. "What?!" Hayes asked innocently. "I came here to get the breadsticks." He said, stealing the breadsticks from my hands.
"NOOO!!! MY BAEEEE!" I yelled, my hand dramatically shooting up to reach for them.
"Never thought I'd live to see the day where a girl likes breadsticks more than me." Cameron said, grabbing my hand and walking with me back to the table.
"I like breadsticks more than anyone." I replied. "Don't take it personally." Cameron just shook his head at me and sat down.
"Hayes, can you please share the breadsticks?" Nash asked, looking at his younger brother with discontent. It was the face of a man who was deprived of his breadsticks.
A heartbreaking look to be brutally honest.
"No." Hayes said, his voice muffled by the breadsticks. "Oh my god." Grace said, ripping the basket of breadsticks out of Hayes' hands.
"Geez." Shawn mumbled after everyone grabbed some breadsticks. "Hey. I'm hungry. And you do not want to mess with me when I'm hungry." Grace said.
Cameron chuckled. "That sounded like something Sam would say." "Huh?" I asked, only half listening to the conversation.
Breadsticks were distracting.
Soon after, a waiter came to take our orders. "So." Nash said, giving his menu to the waiter after we had all ordered. "How's everyone been? Other than Emily and Hayes, haven't gotten to see you guys in awhile."
"And Cameron." I added. Cameron looked at me confused. I laughed. "Remember, you were drunk on energy drinks?"
Cameron's face went white as he realized what I was talking about. "Wait. Did I call you?" He asked. I shook my head. "No but Nash did. Although you and I had a fairly interesting conversation as well." I said smiling.
Cameron groaned. "I don't even want to know." Grace said, shaking her head.
"So, besides Cameron getting drunk on energy drinks, what's everyone been doing?" Nash said, going back on topic.
"I've been shopping for Grace and Cameron's birthday." Emma said. "REALLY?! What'd you get me?" Cameron asked, putting his arm around Emma's chair.
"A free punch in the face?" Grace asked. I laughed, almost choking on my water.
"I'm not telling!" Emma said, smiling. "You're just going to have to wait!" Cameron sighed. "Fine. But I bet Sam's got the best gift ever."
I felt my face flush white. "Uh... Am I not enough?" I said, trying to dodge the question of gifts.
I had no idea what I was going to get them.
"Oh c'mon! Tell me what you got me!" Grace said. I shook my head. "Nope. Not going to tell you."
Cameron smirked. "Do I have to tickle it out of you?" I looked down at my lap, knowing that my eyes probably gave me away.
"You'll tickle me but you're not going to know what I'm giving you. I don't even know." I mumbled under my breath.
"What?" Shawn asked. "Nothing." I said, smiling up at him. Shawn lowered his eyes at me suspiciously as he drank from his glass.
This was going to be one hell of a night.
