As the cab drives threw the city,i think about what happend a couple of minutes ago.

I slaped him...he smiled...he grabed my wrist...but he smiled. I shouldn't have done that.

"Miss we're here"says the driver.

"Oh right,thank you" i pay the driver and see the cute little restaurant.

As i walk in i see Emily give me the biggest smile I've ever seen.

"Hey,you came"she says so sweetly my heart almost melts.

"Of course i did,why wouldn't i?"

"Okay,so i have like 15 minutes until my brake,im sure my cousin will be here by then and then we can all have ice cream."

I sigh"fine,but the way my day ended im gona need a galon of ice cream,i slapped the jerk i was telling you about"

She widens her eyes at me and says "Wow,okay see you in a bit" and goes around taking orders.

I take out my phone and scroll threw my texts,and some of my photos,and eventually text back my parents,who I plan to talk to later.

"We have to stop meeting like this"a low voice says,wich causes me to raise my head and see none other that the biggest jerk in the world.

"Ugh. Oh my God" I say,rolling my eyes.

"Now where have I heard those sounds before." he winks at me.

"Do you want me to slap you again?"i say.

"Kinky"he says as he wiggles his eybrows at me.

"Wow i don't even know your name and alredy you are making sexual remarks,nice".

"Thank you" he says as he sits at the both across from me.

"But i know your name,and you slaped me,so that makes us pretty close"he smirks.

"You know my name,and yet your tongue has not been down my throat,i feel so special"i reply sarcastically.

"You should" he says so slowly,making somthing inside me clench.

"I'm really sorry for what I did. That wasn't like me at all. I apologize."

"Oh so now you apologize."

"Ass" i say under my breath,but he clearly heard because i see him smirk.

I continue to scroll threw my phone and realise that he is just staring at me.

"What do you want?" I say annoyed.

"Nothing,just waiting for someone"he replies dryly.

"Well go sit at another table please,just your presence annoys me"i say while smiling as sweetly as i can.

He taps his fingers on his chin,pretending he is in deep though

"No."

"Hey you're here" i hear Emilys voice say,and i turn to see who is she talking too,and my eyes widen when she is talking to the biggest jerk in the world,o god please no...

"Lara this is my cousin Caleb" she points at the jerk across from me,whose name is apperently Caleb.

"Caleb this is Lara,she just moved here from Europe"she introduces us,oh Emily if only you knew...

He just smirks,and it makes me wana slap him again.God why does he make me so mad!

"Is Tucker coming?"she asks.

"Yeah he is on his way."

"Tucker is our friend,he's really nice and i wanted you to meet him" Emily explains to me,and i just nod.

"So tell me about this asshole you slaped" she says enthusiastically "Who is he?"

I don't say anything and just turn and look at Caleb wide eyed.

He just smirk and widens his arms and proudly says" That would be me."

Emily jaw drops,and starts laughing "well i bet you deserved it" and i laugh too and say "he did."

"Hey Emi,sup Caleb" a guys walks up to us,and gives me a warm smile.

"Hey Tuck"emily grins"thsi is Lara,the girl i was telling you about"

"Hi,nice to meet you" i smile.

"You too"he ever so sweetly replies.

I see Caleb roll his eyes,jerk.

"Okay, who wants ice cream?" Emily smiles.

*****

After an hour of stuffing our faces with ice cream,and talking i actually know a lot more about my new friends...and Caleb.

Apperently Emilys mother and Calebs father are siblings,and they've grown up together,and they have known Tucker since they were little.

Emily plays the piano,and has a younger sister and brother.

Tucker is on the football team and has 2 older siblings who are both in collage,and he boxes.

Caleb is obviously on the football team as well (seeing he's 6.3)and is an only child like me,and he plays the guittar.

"So you slaped him" Tucker laughs loudly,and i just nod.

"Up top" he raises his hand and i high-five him,and Caleb just gives us a scowl.

"Im sorry i slaped you Caleb"i say,and his eyebrows shoot up in suprise.

"You know what would really make it better?"he asks in that mischievous voice "a kiss."

"Okay" i say,and he just smirks.

"Tucker kiss him"i say.

"Fuck,no!"

Me and Emily both laugh while Caleb pretends to look hurt.

"So enough about us,tell us about yourself Lara"says Emily.

"Okay,er...i was born in Rome. I'm an only child,and my mom would always put on cartoons that were in English,so i grew up watching those and thats how i learned to speak English"

"My grades were alway good,im a dancer but i suck at art,im littleraly horrible" i chuckle and they smile.

"What about music?" Caleb asks.

"A little bot of everything. It really depends on the day. I don't usually like sad songs."

"And your parents just trusted you to live here by yourself?"

"Not really. They check up on me all the time and have people check up on me. I'm almost 18,and they have talked about buying a house here."

"So you just mostly came here to study? Will you go back home after collage?" Caleb asks as I shrug.

"I still don't know. I have some time to think about it.

"Cool."

"Thats me in a nutshell" i smile.

******

"I don't need him walking me home Em" i plead to Emily.

"Do you know how to get home" she asks already knowing the answer.

"No..."

"Then Caleb is taking you home" she states.Tucker had to leave because he had practice so i have no other choice.

"I'll just take a cab" i say.

"At this time,i don't think you'll find one,besides you'll need to learn the roads here anyway" Caleb says in a bored tone.

"He's right"Emily says.

I sigh"Fine."

"Okay see you at school Lara."Em says as she hugs me.

"Bye Em."

"Come on,i don't have all day" says Caleb.

This should be fun.
