Anthony's POV

So, if your boyfriend was coming back from Canada in a few months and you wanted to surprise him, which is worse,too much or too little? You know what, I'll figure it out later. 

-blahblah graduation blahblah-

I pulled Thomas over to the side. "So, have you asked Julia out yet?" I asked him. "No. I have not," he said. "Why not? Are you scared she wont say yes? Because she definitely will!"I reassured him. "Are you 200% positive?" Thomas asked again. "I've known her for longer than you have. She will!" I whisper-yelled. 

"Okay, okay. After this I'll ask her out. But you cannot be spying on us," he whispered back. "I'll be far enough not to interfere. Promise," I said, and we shook hands on it. Afterwards, the four of us met up and we were talking when I took Ella's arm and left so the other two could have privacy. "What are you doing?" Ella asked. I sighed. "You're not gonna like this, but Thomas is asking Julia on a date," I said. "What?" she said sharply. "Yeah, I know, you're not happy he chose her over you. I get it. But don't hurt me. All I-" "How could you not tell me this before? I could've helped!" Ella said excitedly. "You're not mad?" I asked. "Of course I'm mad! But it's not Julia's fault Thomas chose her, and I can't do anything to stop it, so if you had told me earlier, I would've been ecstatic to help!" she exclaimed. We soon saw the other two beckon us back to the table.

"Well, what did you say?" I asked Julia. "Yes of course!" Julia said, pulling Thomas into a hug. He blushed. I sighed happily.

Today! Today was the day I got to see Ryan again. I just hoped he wouldn't be TOO surprise by my lack of colorful hair. We waited for a few hours in the airport and I amused myself by texting him.

A: You on the plane yet?

R: yeah. Can't wait to see you! You excited, too?

A: You have no idea.

R: I think I know how my boyfriend feels

A: Maybe you do, maybe you don't

R: Don't test me

A: I think I will

R: Don't.

R: Anyways, I cannot wait to see you. I miss everything about you

A:... even my hair?

R: Yes.

A: OH. That's dshdjughfjuwvikvwio

R: What the-

A: Sorry. I dropped my phone.

R: Oh.

A: Prepare for cuddles

R: Oh dear, what are you gonna do?

A: snuggle you til you can't breath

R: I figured you'd say that

A: No. You didn't. You're lying.

R: What?

A: You've known me for about 5 years. You should know I can detect a lie.

A: fess up.

R: Jeez, okay. I had no idea what you were gonna say

A: Better <3

-after about an hour of back-and-forth texting-

R: Okay, we're about to get off the plane.

A: Text me back when you get through security

R: Got it.

R: K, I'm out.

Ryan's POV

When I finally got out to the crowd, I saw a bunch of random people, but then I saw Julia, Ella, Thomas, and... Anthony's hair was blond? WHAT? I ran over to them. I hugged them all tightly. "Anthony, what is up with your hair?" I asked. He posed fabulously. "What? You don't like it?" he asked in return. I laughed. "No, it's fine, but honestly, is this your natural hair color?" I said. He nodded. 

Anthony, Ella, and I sat in the backseat of the car and Julia and Thomas sat up front as we went to celebrate at (idk, Grillby's?). "Oh, man. Jet lag hit hard," I said, and rested on Anthony's chest, my arms around his shoulders. He kissed my forehead. "I assume you're going to sleep?" he asked. "Yes," I said, and closed my eyes softly. 

"I'm glad you're back in my arms, love," I heard Anthony whisper to me.

"Glad to be here," I whispered back.
