"Oh hi." I say awkwardly.
I knew he had someone over but I wasn't expecting it to be Blake. Why? Because clearly, I'm not the brightest. 
"Oh, you two actually know each other?" Lucas asks both Blake and I, since I never make the effort to get to know his friends. 
"I don't know." I reply dumbly, watching as a smirk appears on Blake's face. "What?" Lucas chuckles.
"We were talking in detention." Blake answers for me, taking a seat on the couch.
"Yea, t-that's what I meant." I stutter, also sounding dumb. Why is he making me nervous? Pull yourself together Alyssa.
Lucas nods his head. "Anyways, we have a project to start." He says, still searching through the TV stand. 
"A project? Then why do you need your controllers?"
"You know, just taking a small break." He simply replies. 
"A break? Have you even started?" I ask, raising a brow. 
"That doesn't matter, just help me find them." Yep, if you're wondering he's always like this. He loses everything and comes to me as if I know where his stuff is. 
"Have you checked the basement?" Blake asks.
"Right, I'll be right back." He says to Blake, running his right hand through his hair. Seriously? He couldn't take Blake with him?
I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. I don't even know what I was planning on saying in the first place.
Blake smirks looking up at me, "cats got your tongue?" I can feel my face start to heat up. He can most likely tell he's making me nervous and finds it amusing. Why am I still here anyway?  I switch my gaze over to Blake, giving him a small smile, "uhm well, have fun." Have fun?
I hear Lucas come running back up the stairs, at the same time I turn around to make my way back to my bedroom. That was weird, why am I so awkward? I groan silently to myself.
I close my bedroom door behind me, deciding to finish the homework our math teacher assigned. 
After I finished the two pages of homework we were assigned, I put my textbook, along with the papers back inside my backpack. I pull my phone out of my pocket, open my messages and click on the group chat with Olivia and Rachel.
{Me} Hey, what are you guys doing?
{Liv} Just doing homework :(
{Rachel} Nothing
{Me} You guys wanna do something? Lucas has a friend over and I'm bored.
{Rachel} Oohh sure!
{Liv} We can go to the mall?
{Rachel} Can you pick us up?
{Liv} Of course!
{Me} Thanks Liv!
{Liv} I'm on my way, be there in 20. 
I shut my phone off and stick it into the back pocket of my jeans. I go back downstairs and sit on the couch opposite of Blake and Lucas, waiting for Olivia and Rachel to arrive. 
"Why did you come down? You usually never do when I have friends over." Lucas asks, his eyes still attached to the TV. Thanks for pointing it out. I roll my eyes.
