“Trust me,” I said.

“Come on.”

She reluctantly stood

up, bringing her tray

with her. I had to look

over my shoulder a

couple times to make

sure she was still

trailing behind me

before we reached the

table. Seth was looking

at me with a small

smile on his face.

“Guys, this is Hail,” I said

and before I could say

anything else, Justin

was already pointing at

her.

“Finally! You! Which do

you think is better? The

Breakfast Club or Mean

Girls?”

Hail blinked in surprise,

looking at me

momentarily before

saying, “Um, the

Breakfast Club?”

“Hah!” Lily yelled. “I told

you. Come here, Hail. Sit

beside me since these

idiots s--k so much

they don’t recognize the

genius that is The

Breakfast Club.” Dan

was already pulling an

empty chair from

another table, placing it

beside Lily as everyone

scooted to make room.

Hail looked at me, the

expression on her face

a cross between

awestruck and stunned.

I smiled at her

encouragingly as she

made her way to the

empty seat. I made my

own way to my chair

beside Seth. When I sat

down, he told me, “I’m

glad you worked it out.”

As I looked up to see

Lily introduce everyone

in a way that made Hail

laugh, I nodded. “I’m

glad, too.” We still had a

lot to talk about, we

still have to catch up on

everything, but for

now, we had time on

our side.

“Oh, god, this car is

filled with so much…

estrogen.” Seth

shuddered as he began

pulling the car out of

the parking lot.

Prior to my meeting

with Seth’s mom,

Alyssa and Lily declared

themselves my stylists

for today, and much to

Hail’s surprise, they

dragged her into it as

well. Seth would drop us

all at my house, so the

three of them were

sitting on the backseat,

Hail wedged between

the two.

“Oh, stop complaining.

You love us,” Alyssa

said. “And you’ll love us

more once we’re done

with Kyla.”

Seth rolled his eyes and

muttered something

that sounded

suspiciously like girls but

I could see him smiling.

Needless to say, Seth

stayed quiet as the

conversation mostly

involved dresses and

shoes and makeup. And

boys.

“Are you kidding? I

don’t like it when they

have too much

muscles,” Lily said and

when I turned, I could

see her wrinkling her

nose in disgust. “I

mean, sure, it’s hot on

celebrities and all, but in

real life, I don’t like it.

What is he, a wrestler?”

Alyssa fought back.

“What’s wrong with

buff guys?”

“Everything! They also

probably use steroids or

something,” Lily fought

back.

“It’s not that I like buff

guys, but it doesn’t

mean I hate them,”

Alyssa said. “I mean, I

don’t see anything

wrong with an eight-

pack…”

“What do you think,

Hail?” Lily said.

“Um. I’m kind of on

Alyssa’s side,” she said.

Lily groaned and turned

to me. “How ‘bout you,

Kyla?”

“Oh. Umm.”

“Oh, my god, Seth! You

literally moved closer to

listen!” Alyssa yelled

before I could answer,

making me look at Seth

and see him looking

slightly flustered.

“I didn’t,” he said.

“Besides, I already

know she likes me the

way I am. She stares.”

He sent me a sideways

glance, tilting his head

slightly towards me

with a stupid smile on

his face. “A lot.”
