"Coming!" I said, jogging to the door.

It's Thanksgiving! Which means its the day where we give thanks and be surrounded by our loved ones while stuffing our faces with as much food as we can.

I was excited not only because I get to spend thanksgiving with Kelly, Gracie, Grayson, Ace, Lily, Kenzie and Blake but my parents are also coming home today. I haven't seen them since June when they bought me my car. I was excited to see them again, even if I'm not the favorite child.

I opened the door to reveal Kenzie and Kelly who I'm guessing rode here together.

"Happy Thanksgiving guys! C'mon in!" I said, walking away from the door and heading back into the kitchen where the ham sat on the stove.

"We brought some dessert and turkey." Kenzie said, coming into the kitchen with Kelly behind her, agreeing silently.

"Okay awesome! Just put them on the counter over there. Is it already cooked or..?" I said, trailing off as I put some more sauce on the ham.

"The turkey is already cooked, just need reheating." Kenzie said.

"Okay, I'll go ahead and put it in the oven when the ham is almost done." I said, sliding the ham back inside.

"Okay, I'm going up to Gracie's room." Kenzie said.

"Okay." Kelly and I said in unison.

As Kenzie walked off, Kelly sat at the island.

"Hey, Ella?" She asked, placing her LG on the island in front of her.

"Yeah?" I asked, uncovering her dessert.

It was delicious brownies, I couldn't wait to devour them.

So, do you want to slip some weed in it?

Shut up, that was a low point in my life. Leave me alone.

"Um, thanks for inviting me." She said, nervously.

"What? Of course. Its Thanksgiving for Christ sakes. I wasn't going to not invite you, you're my bestfriend." I said, grinning at her.

Kelly is my bestfriend and I wouldn't trade her for the world. Not even my siblings.

"I know what I'm thankful for." She said, grinning.

"Ooo, do tell." I said, plopping on the stool across from her.

"Nope. Only when it's time to say what we're thankful for."

"Fine." I said, playfully rolling my eyes.

"So is Blake coming?"

"Yeah. He's coming with Ace and staying for a few days." I said, getting up. "I'm going to my room, coming?"

"Yeah." She said, following me up the steps and into my room. "So how long is he staying?" She asked, sitting on my couch as I plopped on my bed.

"Well, school starts back on Tuesday, so until Monday." I said, handing her the remote while I grabbed my laptop.

"Oh okay, cool." She said, cutting on my t.v.

I went to my e-mail and logged in, instantly seeing the information I requested from one of the colleges I'm interested in.

I don't graduate until next year, but it's time to know what college offers the best program for me so I can apply next year. My father always told me to make sure I know what I want to do before senior year, you're supposed to know since freshman year. I know what I want to major in, I just don't know what college I want to attend.

"Ella?"

"Hm?" I asked, not looking at her.

"Is Grayson bringing Ciara?" She asked, playing her the ends of her hair.

Grayson and Kelly still don't have a bond but a little friendship is forming there I guess. They'll have mini conversations and then split ways.

"I don't think so. As far as I know its just gonna be me, you, Gracie, Grayson, Ace, Blake and Kenzie." I said, clicking on the college's website.

"Okay cool. I hope she doesn't come. I don't want to be jealous today." She said, laughing morely to herself.

"You're so weird."

"I know..." She began, trailing off causing me to look at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Um...what would you think if I told Grayson how I feel about him? What do you think he'd say?" She asked, not looking at me.

Huh?

"I-Wh-B, what?" I asked, stupidly.

"Oh, you think it's a bad idea. Yeah I-I dont know what I was thinking. Grayson would never li-"

"Shut up." I said, smiling. "My brother is a complete idiot and a player. Just because he's got a girlfriend doesn't mean he's not a player. There are many females that run out of here crying because he sleeps with them and makes them go home afterwards. But, he does also have a soft spot its just hard to find. So you can tell him but even I can say that I'm not sure how he's going to react." I said, looking at her.

"So should I take the risk?" She asked, quietly.

"That's up to you."

"Well, if it were you, what would you do?" She asked, playing with her unpainted nails.

"We're two different persons, Kel. What I do, you wouldn't. What you do, I wouldn't."

"I know. I know but I just want to know what would you do if you were in my predicament."

We looked at each other for a while before I sighed, giving in.

"Okay okay. If I were in your predicament, I wouldn't say anything because that's just me. I'd be afraid of him not feeling the same way and me getting hurt, but you take risks, Kel. You literally live just to take risks. If I were you, I'd go for it but if it was me in your predicament I wouldn't."

She sat there looking like she was in deep thought while she slowly nodded her head, taking in what I said.

"I think I'm gonna do it." She said, slowly looking up at me.

"Really? You are?" I questioned, smiling.

"Yeah. Im gonna tell him how I feel about him."
