Tennyson POV

Darcy ran down the hallway and skidded into the kitchen on her socks.

Ally and I were sitting at the kitchen island talking to Darcy's mum.

I turned as she came in and smiled at her, almost melting when she smiled back. Her smile just- WOW.

Ally kept chatting away to Darcy's mum as I slipped off my seat and went over to her.

"You're half an hour early!" she said.

"Yeah, we wanted to get to June's early so we could have more time there," I said. Plus, I wanted to spend more time with you, I added silently.

"Okay," she said. "Fair enough."

"I'm sorry if we interrupted your chat with your friends," I said, tilting my head.

"Oh!" she shook her head. "No, no, it's fine."

I nodded, hopefully seeming less unconvinced than I felt. "Alright."

Ally finally seemed to notice her and gave her a big grin, waving enthusiastically. "Hi Darcy! Sorry we're early! Are you ready to go?"

Darcy smiled at her. "Hi! And just let me grab my bag."

When she came back in I'd managed to get Ally away from Darcy's mum and slowly edge her towards the door.

"Come on, Darcy!" I said.

She quickly ran over and hugged her mum.

"She's a talkative one, isn't she!" I heard Darcy's mum say quietly.

Darcy giggled softly. "Bye Mum."

"Have her home by eleven at the very latest, please," her mum called as we walked out the door.

"I'll do my best," I said.

I hopped in the driver's seat and heard Ally and Darcy arguing for a moment before Darcy got in beside me, and Ally got in the back.

"You're on your P's?" she said, gesturing to the P plates stuck on the windshield.

"Yeah," I said, pulling out of the driveway. "Hopefully I'll be able to get my P2's just before the end of the year, after I turn eighteen."

Darcy ran her fingers over the dashboard. "It's a nice car."

"It is," I said. "My parents gave it to me for my seventeenth." To be honest I had been expecting them to give me a car, but not one this nice.

(I'm sorry guys I know nothing about cars so 'nice' will have to suffice)

"Wow." Darcy said. "They must really have a lot of money."

"Well-"

"We do!" interrupted Ally, sticking her head forward from the back seat. "But Tennyson hates being hit on for his money, so try not to mention it." She grinned widely.

Darcy blushed, which was super cute. "Ally! I- of course I wasn't trying to- hit on him! I- Ally!"

Ally laughed at her discomfort and patted her shoulder. "It's fine,I know you're not."

I smiled to myself and turned on the radio.

Five minutes later we reached June's house, hyped up from hearing High Hopes on the radio.
(Do not judge me for my music choices, people)

We hopped out and I followed the girls in as they sang together, giggling like lunatics. Although I must admit Darcy had the cutest giggle.

"Hi guys!" June called as we came in. "I'm just in the kitchen making cookies! You wanna help?"

Darcy and Ally grinned at each other and took off their shoes before running into the kitchen.

I followed more slowly, taking the time to breath in the scent of the tray of cookies already in the oven.

When I walked into the kitchen, Ally was sitting in the kitchen bench laughing as June and Darcy shrieked into wooden spoons.

"HAD TO HAVE HIGH HIGH HOPES FOR LIVING, SHOOTING FOR THE STARS WHEN I COULDN'T MAKE A KILLING, DIDN'T HAVE A DIME-"

Darcy saw me and smiled wide.

Her smile- I just can't.
