Averyn's POV

   Darren finished his homeworks after an hour, and we decided to watch a movie before I'm going home which is just few steps from his house. He ordered pizza for me as promised and now we're lying on his bed, choosing what kind of movies should we watch.

   "The Conjuring?" He asked. I shook my head off. "Not challenging. Final Destination?" He pouted by my suggestion."Insidious?" He asked with a smirk."Okay," I answered before grabbing a slice of pizza and eat it.

   The movie started and we watched in silence. To point it out,I'm not that typical girl that will hide behind pillow or her companion when watching horror movies. Maybe at few parts with sudden appearance of ghost or voices made me flinched a little.You know what? The most scary part was when the pizza only left a slice. I glanced at Darren who was still focused on the TV, while my hand sneakily grabbed the last slice of pizza and quickly bite it. I hid my smile, turning my attention to the TV while munching the pizza.

   Darren's hand wandered in the pizza box that placed between us on the bed, shocked appeared on his face when he realized the box was empty and caught me chewing the last pizza. Man, that's should be the real expression when you saw ghost. He shook his head off watching my childishness. Few minutes later, the movie ended along with the pizza. I packed my backpack, ready to go home when Darren's voice broke the silence.

   "I thought it's a sleepover." I rolled my eyes. "We have school tomorrow. Plus, your mom will be home in a minute," I silently disagreed. "Oh,come on. It's been a long time,right? Since my dad passed away 7 weeks ago," he pleaded. I put my backpack on his study table, muttering okay before jumped on his bed.

   It was true. I gave him times to cool down since his dad passed away. We stopped doing our sleepover, walking in the park at nights and I stopped disturb him at school and home. His mood getting better today after healed from one week's fever, so I thought it was the right time to start all over again. He lied beside me, with a pillow between us. Yeah, we never cuddle together when having sleepover. If you guys thought that we aren't bestfriend if we doesn't do that,you were wrong. We're close on how we understand each other without any words, how we take care of one another without skin contacts and how we know when someone's hurt without showing it.

   "We're going to be a couple tomorrow," he stated. I sighed,reminded about our plan. "I still doubt our decision. You'll break lots of girl's hearts," I exclaimed."I don't care. Unless I gave them false hope. But I never talked with them. So, it's their fault crushing on me."

   "You're so ignorant." He played with my high bun, twirling my hair."What about you? Will I've been attacked by a group of boys that likes you?" I snickered by his question. "What a joke. I'm not that beautiful or whatever they want from a girl. You're the most unlucky boy in this world because sticking with me when you can be friends with our school's hot girls."

   "I wish I can," his words hurt me a little because he silently wanted to leave me. "but I don't want to see you standing alone in the hallway,eating lunch by yourself in cafeteria." I touched by his sweet words. "Because people will think you're crazy." His last words made me covered my body with his blankets, of course after smacking his upper head. "Hahaha.Goodnight and sweet dream," he wished, patting my upper head.With that, I was drifting to my dreamland.
