It had been 2 weeks since the date incident and everything seemed to be fine.

Kit started to hang around me much more. I was still confused on what he saw us as.

I had spent a lot more time with Jared, Jensen and Francesca, no Tate thankfully, I dont even think I could stop myself from wringing his neck if I had saw him.

I had even helped Megan start the article, the sooner that thing was published the sooner I would have my column back.

She decided to take the article up a notch and calling it 'Experimenting with the Lunatic'.

I remember her telling me how it wouldnt even be publised any time soon due to the stubbornness of some people, whatever that meant.

She had wrote about mostly rumours and barely even listened to the nice things I had to say. She said the readers wanted excitement, not sappy crap..her words, not mine.

It was Currently Friday evening, and I was  spending it with Jared and Evan watching the boxset of Pretty little liars.

"Wait, so is Allison dead or not" Evan repeated for the twentieth time. Jared smacked him up the back of the head making Evan grab his head and groan.

"Of freaking course she's dead. It's obvious A doesn't stand for Allison, it stands for Anonymous, but these chicks are too stupid to know that." Jared droned.

Evan nodded his head in an 'oh' manner, and decided putting his legs on me was way more comfortable than the sofa.

"The things I would do to Ashley benson" Jared grunted as he rolled his lower lip into his mouth.

Picking up the nearest pillow, I hit him in the face with it making him snap out of his inappropriate thoughts.

"Oh, you wanna fight huh" Nodding his head for Evan to move out of the way, he did so with his eyes still glued to the tv screen. Who said PLL fans are all girls eh?

"I swear to god if you tickle me again, I'm not afraid to do some serious damage" Wriggling deeper into the sofa, he jumped down on me, now straddling me, he held my hands together and started to tickle my neck.

Losing control, I broke out in fits of giggles, kicking my legs in the air and begging him to stop.

"Jared..if..you don't..oh my god...stahp" Trying to get Evan to help, he had just turned up the volume on the television to drown out the sound of my laughter.

"Well doesn't this look cozy" Tates words dripped with sarcasm. Jared immediately stopped tickling me and looked towards Evans bedroom door.

I knew he couldn't see me, so maybe he thought I was one of Evans friends?

"Kitten?" His deep voice whispered.

Okay, so maybe he did know it was me.

"Psycho..?" Sitting up, I noticed how bad this situation looked, but it's not like i'd do anything with Jared, anyway Evan was sitting with us.

Looking at his dark azure eyes, he glared at Jared and then at me.

"Evan invited us round, he saw me and Jared hanging out at my house and-" Jared dug his knee in my side signalling me to shut up.

He could have done that without making me yelp in pain.

Is it just me or did you understand why it was so necessary to do that.

Climbing off of me, he scratched the back of his neck, while he planted both feet on the ground.

"Am I missing something?" Looking up at Tate, he was leaning on the door frame looking at me with a blank expression.

"No. Don't you have a boyfriend to get to? Yet you're here throwing yourself at Jared. kinda whore-ish, don't you think" Spitting out a bitter laugh, he left the room and disappeared within his house.

I hated not getting the last word, I'd be up all night just thinking of the insults I could have thrown at him, all the witty things that I could have said.

Reaching for my leather jacket, I slipped it on and tied a loose ponytail with my hair.

"He didn't mean that" Evan broke out, still with his eyes on the tv, he had his legs propped up on the arm chair and his hands behind his head.

"Yes he did." I sighed.

"Nah, trust me. He didn't, he always says things just to hurt people. Its a mastered skill he's perfected over the years." Rolling my eyes, I told him to return the PLL boxset when he was finished, as he begged for me not to take it with me.

Jared silently walked with me until we were outside. Tate sat there on the ground on his phone with a cigarette in his mouth.

As we walked around him, he merely looked up and scoffed, and then went back to what he was doing.

As me and Jared went our separate ways, I unlocked my door and slammed it shut once I was in side.

Well that wasnt awkward or anything.

"Oh hunny, That Tate boy came looking for you and- Carmela did you hear me?" Zoning back, I saw my mom with orange gunk smeared all over her face. Okay I'm not even going to ask.

"Sorry, what?" Blinking at her, she tutted and ran her hand through my hair as she undone the hair tie.

"I said, Tate came here to see if you wanted to start some interview or something? I said you were already round his house" Twisting my keys around my finger, I nodded uninterested.

"Oh and I invited them round for dinner later, why don't you invite kit aswell" Dropping my keys, I stopped nodding my head as I felt like I was going to pass out.

"Mom!" I cried.

"Oh hush, it's already 4 o'clock and I haven't even put in the chicken." slapping her hand to her mouth she scurried off to the kitchen leaving me with my jaw upon the ground.

Trudging my way upstairs to Kelsie's room, she was stood in the mirror, holding up dresses to the side of her with her hair in curlers.

Slamming face first onto her bed, she laughed and turned around to face my exhausted body.

"What's wrong with you?" Sitting next to me, she started to fiddle with the bracelets on my wrist.

"We're having dinner with the Capetti's" lifting my head up, she had a warm smile on her face while wisps of her blonde hair hung over her face.

"Who cares, the guys are hot. That reminds me-" standing up, she held up 2 dresses by her side and stared at me with her green eyes.

"-which dress do you think River would like?" Placing my finger to the corner of my mouth, I um'ed and ah'ed for a good 5 minutes.

"I vote go neked" winking, she threw me a blank expression and decided to go for the skin tight white one.

I had said that she looked like she was going to a wedding rather than a dinner...in our own house.

My sister was one of those people that could pull off a bin bag if she really wanted to. Her sun kissed blonde hair with her mesmerising green eyes also topped of with her lightly tanned skin and long legs, made almost every boy turn their head.

Unlike I ofcourse, the lightest shade of brown eyes, they weren't even hazel, lighter than Hazel but darker than a golden. I had Chestnut hair that was unruly unless I took a flat iron to it. My skin wasnt as pale as those cliché not so popular girls in the books, nor was it as tanned as the popular ones. It was....neutral, I guess.

Basically I was the definition of Switzerland, guys.

There wasn't a doubt in my mind that Tate would flirt his way through this night with Kelsie, and then there was Evan, oh and Kelsie's favourite 'River', I even think that Giovanni would get his 5 minutes in.

She had only met River once, and when I say met, she stood there with her mouth wide open practically drooling on the boy as he spoke to me.

River was by far the kindest of the Capetti guys.

Every morning just as I would be setting off for school, he would be coming back from his morning run (no I'm not a stalker, I just noticed how he would be in running clothes every time I went to school) he would say hello and ask me how I was doing, and also laugh at any lame joke I told. why couldn't Tate just act like that?

I guess you could say my sister and River would make a cute couple. They were both good looking, and had a crazy addiction to rasins....so why not?

As I gave Kelsie permission to 'make me over', it took a good 3 hours in total. I know you're thinking how the hell did getting ready take a whole 3 hours, well according to Kelsie, it should have taken 3 years to get me ready, which I honestly found insulting.

I'll run you through a few things she had done to me.

-waxed my legs

-plucked my eyebrows

-washed, blow-dried and curled my hair

-Shaped,buffed and painted my nails

-picked 7 outfits for me to try on

-did my makeup

To be honest, that was basically it.

Looking at myself in the full body mirror, I ran a hand through my hair but quickly got slapped on the arm.

"Don't mess up my art piece" rolling my eyes, I smiled at my reflection.

Surprisingly, she hadn't tarred my face down with makeup, nor gone over the top with my hair.

My hair hung in loose waves down my back and sides, my lips were coloured a burgundy colour and my eye makeup had really brought out my brown eyes.

Thanking Kelsie, there was a sudden knock on our front door making Kelsie hold both of my hands and jump up and down in excitement.

"This is going to be such fun" slapping my ass, she skipped off out of her bedroom and down the stairs to greet satan and his family.

"As much fun as a poke in the eye..."
