"Hi, Bia." Hunter said as the door opened to Bia's front door. "I brought you some daisies."

She carefully took them from him, "thank you, Hunter." She smiled. "Do you wanna come inside? It's really hot out and our AC is on."

"Yes, thank you." He nodded. She moved aside and he walked in. "How are you?" He asked her.

She shut the front door behind her, "I'm a little stressed about starting a new school."

"Don't worry too much about it. School doesn't start until next month. There's still time." He reassured her.

"Oh," she laughed. "I'm still kinda nervous, because I don't know a lot of people here. You and Molly are my only friends here."

"Molly?" He asked.

He didn't know anybody named Molly and their town was small. Most people knew everybody, but he didn't know someone named Molly.

"Yeah," Bia nodded. "She lives two houses down from me. She's really cool."

"That's nice." He didn't know what else to say. He always felt nervous around Bia. "You'll make friends at school. There's a lot of nice people there. Plus, you can join clubs and sports and it'll help you meet new people." He said.

"I don't know," she bit down on her bottom lip. "I'm not a really good at sports and I'm really shy."

"I understand." He said. "Don't stress over it, Bia. I'm sure tons of people will want to be your friends. You're a very sweet and pretty girl."

"You think I'm pretty?" She blushed.

Hunter blushed too. He didn't mean to say it outloud, but he wasn't thinking. He looked down, "yes, I think you're perfect."

"Thank you, Hunter." She smiled. "I think you're handsome and very cute."

"Thank you." He accepted the compliment. "I was wondering..." He looked back up at her. "Um...I was wondering if you wanted to visit more of Arizona with me? Your mom told me that your friend showed you around, but I want to show you some of my favorite places." He rambled. "If that's okay with you."

"I would love for you to show me around." She said. She was happy that Hunter had called her pretty and wanted to show her around.

"How about we go right now?" He asked. "We can go to my favorite restaurant when we're done."

"Sure." She agreed. "Let me go put these flowers in water and tell my mom."

"Okay." He said. She turned towards the kitchen and he whispered a quiet, "yes!" He was excited that Bia wanted to spend time with him.
