Anya
We all laughed at Austin, the victim chuckling at it as well. “That’s all you have to say, diva?”
“Do you want to get hurt again, Dickle?”
And we laugh again. I look up and saw Sadie look away from me and to her friends. Suddenly, I can feel my face heat up. She looks...normal now with an oversized light pink T-shirt with Nirvana’s Nevermind album printed on the shirt and black cargo shorts. She looks less intimidating without the black clothes or the dark makeup. Despite the makeup fitting her, I feel more comfortable seeing her this way. She looks beautiful without makeup as well, don’t get me wrong, but she looks a bit approachable this way, I guess.
I hear her friends telling her what “the fuck” is she doing by the door and invite her to come in. Finally, she did and I turned my head back to the rest. I can feel my cheeks heat up again. How can I make friends with her if I’m like this?
I watched her scoot too close to Bob, to which the latter complained but all he got was a swing of Sadie’s elbow on his shoulders. It must be pretty painful by the look of Bob’s expression right now.
“So!” Austin clapped his hands one time and all heads turned to him. “What’s up with you two downstairs? Talking smack about us, huh?” He nudged at Liam.
The man in question just rolls his eyes. “Why do you care? Maybe you three are talking smack about me!”
“No! We just think you’re too pretty to get a girlfriend.” And we all laugh because we did talk about this. 
“Haha. Fucking funny dipshits.” The longer I look at Liam, I realize he is prettier without any makeup. He only has small eyebags and no acne in sight. Never have I felt so jealous of a guy.
“Actually,” Bob mimicked Austin with his handclaps. “Anya thinks Popcorn is sweet.” 
With all eyes on me, including Sadie’s. I can feel my face flushed for the third time tonight. This is embarrassing. “Y-yeah I love it. I sang along to it even. I think I kind of remember some lyrics in the chorus.”
“Oh yeah, we noticed.” Liam lumped in. “Thank you~ Honestly Sadie wrote all those lyrics.” All eyes are on Sadie now.
I slowly turn my head to her. Her eyes are on me as well for a few minutes. She looks like a chipmunk with her wide eyes and chubby cheeks. I can see her cheeks light up the same color as the shirt through her light dark skin. “Th-thank you.”
“Y-yeah no problem. I am...The performance is very astounding and the song, the lyrics are very well written. I am obsessed. With the vocals and instruments and all.” Her lips curving to a smile makes me do the same. She looks really beautiful.
“So does that mean we can perform for your opening next time?” Bob said, chuckling and so the rest as well. I just smile at this. If only I could.
Sadie
This is...Fucking awesome. I watch them eat the pizza that they were supposed to leave for me but I told them to eat it all. Anya is gobbling one big pizza slice with Bob (Obviously Bob won that race), and laughing all about it. I chuckle with them as well, but my eyes are on Anya. As Austin grabs his acoustic and we sing classics like I’m Yours by Jason Mraz, I sing along quietly and let Anya’s voice louder than mine. I listen to her sing the song beautifully, even better than mine. Is mine even better? Fuck I really envy her. The voice that she possesses is soft, melodic, lovely, something you use to sing for your lover. While my voice is the thousands of demons in my head that I want to exorcise out of me. 
When we finished singing The Only Exception, Liam and Bob got a notification from their parents to go home. 
“Damn, it’s already a quarter to 12. I didn't even notice the time.”
“Yeah, it flies so fast,” Anya replied to Bob with a chuckle. Gosh even her chuckles are cute.
Liam and Bob stood up. ‘Well, we better keep going.” 
“Same.” I stand and grab my bag from the bean bag.
“Yeah, you better before he calls me!” Austin said as he starts to stand up. All of them made their way out of the room except me and Anya, who just stood up. She looks at me like she wants something but I can’t figure out what, nor why. Why?
I point outside and tell her I will head out and she just nods. I can feel her walking behind me as I make my way downstairs, Austin is talking to Bob and Liam by the door, mainly just teasing each other about their love life--Austin finally getting one, Bob having a lot of women on his chatbox, and Liam probably not getting any.
I ignored them and made my way to the sofa by the walls where my phone charged. I pull the charger off the outlet behind the sofa and put them in my bag. I try to catch a glimpse at Anya who’s just slightly behind me, looking around the room. I take a deep breath before I turn to her.
“Hey, I noticed that your phone was not charged so I charged mine.”
“Yeah, It’s fine really.” She smiled at me with her eyes closed like that one emoji, and she’s cuter doing it. Fuck.
When she opens her eyes, I start to shake the thoughts off. Though I think I gave my awkward smile because her facial expression changed. I just want to get out of her sight as much as possible.
I take a step on my way to the door but a familiar hand reaches and holds mine. I turn to look, aware of who it is. We are not even that close to each other but all I can see is her eyes on me. With her soft hands and her beautiful face, I don’t know which to focus on.
Finally, she broke off the silence, but what she said baffled me.
“Come with me, please.”
