Things between Jordan and I are perfect. I was a little apprehensive that after we slept together, that he would distance himself from me. But instead, he's been spending more time with me. He's always sending me sweet messages, calling me when I least expect it, and picking me up to go wherever after school. Prom had got pushed back to the next week instead of this week. People weren't ready and prom wasn't ready. I'm kind of glad because I still haven't gotten a dress yet.
"Hey, there, beautiful." Jordan kisses me on the cheek before sitting down at our usual table.
"Hey. Where have you been?" I ask.
"Buying our tickets to prom. I don't see what's the big deal. I think we should just spend the night indoors; if you know what I mean." He wiggles his eyebrows and I push him lightly, laughing.
Jordan and I have done it again since spring break. It was much better than my first time, which hurt like hell. It still hurt slightly, but it became enjoyable after a while.
"We are not missing prom. I have to go pick up my dress today that I already paid for. Plus, Alyssa would kill me because I didn't go last year." I say.
"You know, Midget, you could have gone with a better color. Blue doesn't really look good on me." He smirks.
I roll my eyes because it's a lie. "Jordan, you can pull off anything. Stop fishing for compliments."
He laughs at me. "Wow, Midget. Telling me off? Kind of a turn on." He winks and I blush.
Only Jordan can manage to turn me into a red tomato. I look around the table, watching Daniel, Alyssa, and Jake having an argument over the meatloaf the school is serving. Ryan and Troy are talking, but I can't hear what they're saying. I think Troy and Jordan are arguing. They haven't talked to each other since we got back from spring break and whenever I ask Jordan about it, he says that Troy is an asshole. My eyes move over to Virginia and her barbies. She's been strangely acting nice to me. Like on the team. Our team had our last game last week. We didn't make it to the championship, which sucked, but we held our heads high. Virginia actually came over to Alyssa and me and comforted us.
She smiles at me and waves at me. I return the gesture, giving her a small smile. I guess people do change. I would even like to think that Virginia and I could be friends one day.
"Midget, did you hear me?" Jordan waves his hand in front of my face, breaking me from my thoughts.
I blink rapidly. "No, sorry. What did you say?" I ask.
"My parents texted me and asked if you wanted to come over for dinner tonight?" He asks.
"Yeah. That'd be nice." I smile.
Mrs. Collins belly is starting to show and she's really happy about it. She's really excited about the pregnancy, but so is everyone else. It's going to be a girl and Jordan's really excited about it. They don't know what they're going to name her, yet, but Alyssa and I have been helping with baby names.
The bell rings and I throw my lunch tray away. Jordan grabs my hand and we walk to our Spanish class together. Although I sit by Stephen in this class, he doesn't talk to me anymore. I don't know if he's upset with me or he just needs his space. I hadn't realized how much I missed him until I couldn't talk to him anymore. I sit down in my chair and try to focus on whatever the Spanish teacher is saying.

"Jordan is going to love that dress on you." Alyssa smiles when I show her the dress.
We had just come from the store, picking up my dress. The dress is a royal blue color. It's strapless and it comes about three inches above the knee. It has a few designs on the front, something like crystals which makes it not so plain. It is absolutely beautiful and I knew I had to get it when I saw it.
"I can't wait to see your dress. I don't know why you won't let me see it." I roll my eyes at her, putting my dress back in the bag.
"Because, I want everyone to be surprised when they see it." She smiles. Her eyes go distant and I imagine she's imagining the reactions she'll get from everyone.
"I'm sure you're going to look stunning. Did I tell you that Jordan and I decided on a college? We're both going to Miami University. He's playing ball for them." I say.
She smiles, clearly happy for Jordan and I. "That's great. Have you guys turned everything in?" She asks.
"Well, not yet. We haven't actually turned in anything, but we both decided we would settle on that school." I say.
"That's great. I wish Daniel and I were going to the same college. We're going to try the long distance thing." She says.
"That's good." I grab my dress, putting it in my closet. I'm so excited about prom.
"Speaking of Daniel, I have to go. I told him I would meet him after school." She gets up off my bed before putting her shoes back on.
"I have to get going, too. I'm having dinner at Jordan's house." I almost forgot about the whole dinner thing.
"Okay. Text me later, babe." She gives me a one armed hug before leaving out of my room. I decide to get dressed and get ready for dinner with Jordan and his parents.

I'm laughing uncontrollably right now. Jordan's parents are cracking me up. They've been talking about Jordan non-stop and it's quite hilarious.
"No, but do you remember when he had the Justin Timberlake curls? He was so adorable." His mom smiles and I laugh, holding my side.
"Mom, you're the reason my hair was curled like that. The guys clowned on me for about a week." He grumbles.
"Aw, cheer up, Jordan. Do you have pictures?" I ask his mom.
She shakes her head with a small smile. "Sadly, no. You should have seen him, Abby." She winks and I look at Jordan, pinching his cheek.
"Okay. No more talking about me. I know I'm an amazing person, but even I'm tired of hearing about myself." He complains.
His dad laughs and his mom gets up, starting to clear the table. "I'll help." I offer, standing up.
"No. You and Jordan can go upstairs. I'll get Roger to help me." She waves me off.
"Do I have to? I just got off of work and I'm kind of tired." I see that he's trying to play the work card, but Mrs. Collins isn't having it.
"I'm pregnant." She counters and he gets up, helping her clear the table. She winks at me before going into the kitchen to wash dishes.
Jordan grabs me by the hand and he pulls me towards the stairs. We make our way up them, going into his room and laying on his bed. Our hands are intertwined and we're both laying on our sides, looking at each other.
"You're beautiful." He whispers with a small smile.
"I know." I smirk and he chuckles at my cockiness.
We sit in silence for a long time and I think about asking him a question that's been on my mind lately. What's up with him and Troy? It's not only him and Troy, but all of the guys. They all seem to be keeping their distance from each other and it only happened after spring break.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" I ask.
"Yeah." His eyebrows furrow together, wondering what might be going through my head.
"Be honest, okay." I say.
I can tell he's becoming nervous and I don't know why he would be nervous. It's just a question.
"What's going on with you and the guys?" I ask.
He sighs in relief and relaxes. I want to question him about that, but I don't. Maybe he just doesn't like questions.
"Nothing, Midget. I told you, things are good between us. Troy's just an asshole." He shrugs, wanting to dismiss the subject.
"Then why have you guys seemed so distant lately? You guys barely talk or hang around each other." I point out. He can't deny this because most of the time he's been spending with me. Not that I mind.
"Well, I want to spend more time with you. Daniel wants to spend more time with Alyssa. Troy and Ryan don't have anyone so they spend a lot of time together. We're going to hang out soon if that makes you feel any better." He says.
I look down before looking back at him. "I just don't want to be the reason you guys separate from each other."
He smiles lightly at me, grabbing the charm on my necklace and looking at it. I never take it off. I mean, never. I love it that much.
"Midget, you're all I need. The guys know how I feel about you. The guys and I can go a month without talking and still be friends. We just have that type of relationship." He kisses me briefly on the lips, reassuring me that I'm not the problem.
"If you say so." I run my hand through his hair and he closes his eyes.
"You shouldn't have done that, Midget." He says.
I laugh at him because I know what he wants. He wants me to play in his hair until he falls asleep. He says my hands can work wonders. I think that was just an excuse for me to continue playing in his hair.
I start run my fingers through his hair, watching him slowly fall asleep. When I start to hear his breathing become heavy and steady, I get up off his bed careful not to wake him. I pull his covers over him and a place a light kiss to his cheek.
"I love you." I say, before turning off the light and leaving out of his room.
