I took extra time getting dressed to make sure I looked great. The end result wasn't perfect but it was pretty good. I decided to leave my crutches because they are ugly and I hate them!

So a little before seven I headed out with Toby to meet the group at Hungry Howies.

"You already tossed the crutches out?" Toby asked when I climbed up in the truck.

"Well I can walk around without them so why keep using them? Plus they were killing my under arms!" I exclaimed.

Toby just laughed.

"How long have you known Connor?" I asked curiously as we drove down the street.

"Little over a year." He replied briefly.

"How did y'all meet?" I turned towards Toby looking eager.

"Blake introduced us at spring break last year. At the time Connor and Britt were dating. He's always been kinda different. Doesn't drink or smoke, doesn't have tattoos or piercings. But he's a player. He's dated all the girls in the group. Some people say he's dated every rich girl in Saint Joe." He glanced at me looking for a reaction.

"Oh." Was my only reply.

"What about you?" He asked glancing at me again. "Do you have a long list of ex-lovers?"

"Wow." I laughed. "Did you just quote Taylor Swift?"

He scowled. "It's rude to answer a question with a question. You said so yourself."

I laughed. "No I don't have a long list of ex-lovers."

"You've had at least a few right?" He insisted.

"I'm afraid my list of ex-lovers is practically non-existent." I responded sadly.

"Are you serious?" He gaped at me. "Not even one?"

"Well.. I guess if you consider a three day relationship in sixth grade than I've had one." I spat out bitterly. "He dumped me because he said I was too perfect." I crossed my arms and glared at the dash board. "Everyone always says I'm too perfect. My sister has tried to set me up with guys but all of them said I was too perfect. Well I'm not!" I fumed.

"Is that why you were so quick to try and prove yourself to me and Blake?" He asked softly.

"I don't know." I stared listlessly out the window. "I guess I just wanted someone to see that I'm not perfect. That I'm human and not a Barbie doll." I pressed my forehead against the window. "I don't understand why that's so hard for everyone to see."

Toby sat quietly thinking. "Your not like what I thought." He finally sighed as we arrived at the restaurant.

Everyone was already squished into booths close to each other when walked inside. Pizza boxes where scattered across the tables.

"Hey Eliana." Connor smiled waving me over to his table. I sat down and he gave me an awkward side hug. It was great!

"So your getting around without your crutches now?" Connor asked studying me.

"Yeah." I said flushing slightly.

"Are you okay? I mean it hasn't been long since you hurt your ankle." His voice carried concern.

"I'm fine." I smiled.

Toby came over from the counter and sat down right next to me squishing me between him and Connor.

"So," Kayla said. "Every time someone new joins the group we play a game of twenty questions. So we are all going to ask questions and you have to answer honestly."

"Okay." I smiled. "Shoot."

"How old are you?" Blake asked.

"Almost sixteen and I told you the other day." I rolled my eyes. Jaws dropped. Literally. I guess I look older than I am.

"I was drunk!" He pouted.

"Your practically a baby!" Nora exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes again. "Question two?"

"How old were you the first time you got drunk?" This from Joey.

"I've never been drunk." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"What?!" He choked on his drink. "When did you become a cradle robber, Toby?" He exclaimed from across the aisle.

Toby rolled his eyes. "Favorite song?

"I have three. 'Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift, 'Strip it Down' Luke Bryan, and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata." I listed them.

"You like Beethoven?" Toby's eyes widened.

I nodded. "I'm a musician."

"Question four: what instrument do you play?" Britt asked.

"Piano, violin, some flute, and guitar. This fall I start cello." I shrugged nonchalantly.

Saying they were shocked is an understatement. They stared open mouthed for five minutes.

"You have to be joking." Sandra said pulling everyone out of their stupor.

I shook my head.

"How do you have time for people?" Connor stressed the last word.

"I only practice one instrument a day for a few hours." I started feeling uncomfortable under their amazed stares. "Next questions."

"What is you favorite Disney movie that you used to watch when you were little?" Blake asked.

"That's a hard one." I bit the inside of my cheek. "I know!" My face lot up. "Mulan!"

Britt laughed. "She used to watch that everyday!"

"I still watch it a lot!" I laughed.

"When is you birthday?" Kayla asked.

"June 30." Me and Britt coursed in unison.

"How'd you know that?" Connor asked Britt in confusion.

"We were besties! Duh!" She looked at him like he was stupid. He glared back.

I laughed.

"What are you doing for your birthday?" Connor asked me.

"A masquerade ball." I smiled widely.

"A ball?" His face was unbelieving.

"Yes! One of the advantages of having rich parents is you get what you want!" I smirked.

Toby smiled smugly. "So my original assumption was correct. You are a spoiled little rich girl."

   Man I wanted to smack that look off of his face so bad!

"We'll argue about that later." I rolled my eyes for what seemed to be the millionth time tonight. "Nine questions down, eleven to go."

"Questions about questions don't count!" Toby exclaimed.

"Yes they do!" I argued.

"They didn't when I played this game." He pouted crossing his arms.

"Oh yeah. I'm the spoiled one." I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"Enough flirting!" Nora said with twinkling eyes.

I blushed and looked down at the table.

"Question ten: who was you first boy band?"

"The Jonas Brothers." I laughed. "If they count."

"Mine too!" Kayla and Britt squealed in unison.

Joey looked at me slyly. "Who was your first kiss?"

"I-i don't want to answer that.." My face flushed bright red.

"No way!" Sandra practically yelled.

"Are you serious?" Kayla exclaimed.

I nodded quickly.

"What?" Blake asked looking between me and the girls confused.

"Her first kiss was Toby!" Britt squealed. She seemed to be doing that a lot tonight..
