"So Belle who was that guy?" Wes smirks as we sit down at out usual booth

Oh god. He did not just bring that up.

"Wes! Shut the fuck up!" I quietly yell

"No he already said it. Belle who is he talking about?" Arrex questions, his eye brows

furrowed as he stared at me

"Just a guy I started talking to while waiting for you guys" I shrug nonchalantly

"He was on the other team" Ace chimes

"Which one?" Arrex questions me

"He was nice! Leave him alone" I sort of lied. While yes he was nice, he also had a weird douchebag vibe about him.

"Who was he?" Arrex grits out

"Dallas Arres" I mumble

"Really? Dallas? C'mon Bails" Caleb scoffs

"What? What's wrong with him?" I snap

"He's hot" Em grins

I just look down in my lap as I feel my ears and cheeks slowly heat up.

"awww she likes him!" Jordan chuckles

"No" Arrex, Beck and Caleb both state

"Beck? Really? You're usually easy going with this shit!" I plea. Beck didn't really care who I was with. As long as I was happy so was he. So why the hell did he care now?

"What are only two rules I have?" He questions

"No best friends, and..." I trail off forgetting the other rule he had with guys. Arrex had a long list of rules, including the no best friend rule, but Beck only had the two. No best friends, obviously, but I couldn't remember the other.

"And no assholes. Dallas is a dick" Beck states "He's apart of Williams group"

"Shut up guys, let her live. Especially you two" she says pointing to Caleb and Arrex "you both sleep around with whoever, whenever. You are the last people who should be allowed to talk on this" Em snaps at them before turning to me, I nod and than her before taking a bite of my burger.

"Can we just leave this topic alone please?" I ask them

All of the guys look at each other suspiciously. Questions still clearly dancing in the heads, but I see a silent consensus come before Arrex even speaks.

"Fine. For now" Arrex grumbles as Caleb glares at me. I just stare back at him blankly, not bothering to look away.

"Fine we'll talk about my love life" Ace laughs "Do you guys remember the end of summer party back in August?"

"Yeah why?" Jordan asks

"Well remember the guy I was talking to? Brett?"

"I love him" I laugh, Brett was possibly the happiest person I've ever met. I never got his number so I haven't been able to talk to him but he was hilarious at the party. I actually had a lot of fun with him.

"Well, he said he's coming in in a few weeks and he wanted to hang out" Ace smiles cheerily

"Yay!" I grin as I hug him

"You like him?" Arrex questions

"He's just really cool I guess, " Ace grins "and just an awesome person, he's fun, funny, sweet, and he can play beerpong really well"

"Well I'm happy for you. I call it now, you two are the first ones to get married" Arrex laughs

"Shut up" Ace blushes as he throws a fry at his twin "I literally just met him"

"He's so sweet but I swear if he hurts you in any way Jack did, then I'm going to chop his dick off and shove it down his throat" I say seriously

"Ill help her" Caleb adds with a grin

"Well cheers to Ace and his existent relationship" Tyler laughs

We all hold up a fry and tap them together before eating them.

"So Belle about this Dallas guy?" Jordan starts the interrogation

"Oh my god" I drop my head to the table as the rest of them laugh at me. This was going to be a long night

-------------

I look up from my Ap bio book to see my phone light up.

Hey babe ;)

Wow he actually texted. I honestly didn't think I'd actually talk to him again.

ew, babe? Really?😂

yeah stupid, I know😂

agreed, I still have to change your name

I grin before changing his name back to normal

no! Keep it!

I gotta know you more before you are upgraded to hottest AND sexiest

Fair enough, what about Saturday?

wait what?

Let's go out tomorrow we can get food. I wanna learn more about you.

I smile at my phone despite knowing that probably won't happen.

I don't think that's the best idea, well unless you want to be interrogated by my brothers

I'm willing to do that😂 pick you up at six?

The smile grows wider, he's insane, thats literally the only reason.

Are you positive you want to do this? All four?

I'm serious, I want to take you out. And not it like weird old yeller type of way😂

I cannot believe you just sent that

I can't either, just ignore that whole text

oh trust me I already am

so is it a yes?

If my brothers agree to it then yes.

I was hoping you'd say that :) what's your address?

After sending my address and a quick goodnight, I turn my phone off and plug it in. What the hell did I just agree to?

"Belle! Ice cream!" Arrex yells, calling me downstairs

I hop of my bed with my phone in and quickly run downstairs to get my favorite Ben and jerries ice cream

"Todays a good day" Caleb grins

"Yes it is" I smile at my brothers.

Not only did they win the first game of playoffs, I actually got asked out by a guy who isn't terrified of my brothers.

I am snapped out of my thoughts with a loud sigh from Beck.

"Belle whose texting you?" He asks

I glance down at my phone to see it vibrating slightly

"Oh it's probably just Em" I make up an excuse

"Its Dallas!" Colton yells with a grin as he looks over my shoulder. Without hesitation I turn around in my seat and smack him in the stomach.

"Colton!" I yell before hitting him in the stomach

"Belle! Really?!" Arrex yells at me, anger laced through his voice

"I actually wanted to talk to you guy about that" I squeak quietly

"What?" Beck and Caleb both snap

"I was wondering if I can gooutwithhim?" I say the last part quickly as I avoid eye contact with them

"Absoloutely not" Beck snaps

"Agreed" Arrex shrugs

"Yep" Caleb nods along

"What do you have against him?!" I snap at them, they dont even know Dallas,

"The fact that he likes you!" Arrex tries and fails to reason

"Are you serious? I literally just want to go and hang out with him"

"Dude have you met us? We go to 'hang out' all the time" Arrex states

"Just because you two are manwhores doesn't mean Dallas is" I state, I glance at Caleb as see a look in his eyes I hadn't seen in a while. I've seen anger multiple times- when he got in a fight with that one asshole from the lacrosse team last week, when he and I would argue and countless other times- but this was different. He looked genuinely sad.

"Belle please don't argue" Arrex says, furrowing his eyebrows and pinching the bridge of his nose. I swear he acts like my dad.

"No I'm going to fuckin argue, you have no reason at all to not let me go" I sneer "You are my brother, not my father, I was asking as a courtesy not for permission. I'm going wether you want me to or not"

"Arrex she's right" Ace huffs

"Thank you!" I yell

"No she isn't! Ace you of all people know I'm chill with this shit, but Dallas is an asshole. He's a little rich boy who feeds off mommy and daddies money and treats anyone who isn't as rich as he is like dirt." Beck scoffs

"She is just going out to dinner with him," Ace reasons with them

"Please guys?" I say quietly "I really want to go, it's just dinner I'll be home by 9:30, latest. You know I love you, and you know I value your opinion more than everything. That being said, I am almost seventeen, I can make my own decisions and in the end if I want to do it, I'm going to."

After letting out a loud sigh Arrex looks back from Caleb and Beck to me before speaking

"Belle please be careful"

"Wait really?" I ask, standing up he nods silently as I run over to give him a hug

"Thank you!" I loved them, and their opinions

"Home by nine-thirty sharp." He orders

"Yes dad" I roll my eyes before grabbing my phone

I glance at all of them before looking down at my phone. Colton and Ace seemed like the could care less, then my eyes shifted to the very pissed off Beck and Arrex who were aggressively eating their ice cream. Caleb , who had been silent almost that whole conversation was avoiding my eyes all together, not even touching his ice crean

They said yes!!!

I type with a wide smile on my face.

I was gonna sneak you out even if they said no ;) I'll pick you up at six, oh and wear something nice

See you then!

I smile at my phone before switching over to the groupchat with Emma and Amy

Hey guys, wanna come over?

❣️Nah I cant, its passed curfew

💕Same, Can't tonight, tomorrow?

yep!! I need your help with outfits

❣️I'm down for tomorrow! How about the mall?"

💕pick you guys up at one!

I smile as I put my phone down and continue to eat my ice cream. Todays a good day

"Do you guys want to watch a movie?" Colton asks

"I'm down" I smile before looking at the four guys in front of me

"What are we watching?" Caleb asks finally talking after what felt like forever

"Sinister?"

"YES!" I smile

I hop on the couch, Caleb taking the seat next to me.

"Are you sure you want to go?" I hear him mumble as as he wraps an arm round my shoulder

"positive" I smile, looking up at him

"This makes you really happy doesn't it?"

"Yeah" I nod, the smile still present on my face "I know you don't like it but can you just trust me on this?"

"As long as you're happy, I'm fine." He says simply, although I know he wasn't fine with any of it at all

"Thank you" I grin as he pulls me closer

"You're still my princess" he whispers, his face close to mine

"I guess" I huff as Arrex starts the movie

"Promise?"

"Promise"

-----------------

"You're hands are freezing!" Caleb laughs as he cups his hands around mine

"No you're just like a human radiator" I laugh as I look up at him.

"I know, I'm hot" he chuckles with a wink making me roll my eyes. Anything to compliment himself.

"hot is a temperature, not an adjective" I mock him

"Touché"

"Okay I gotta get ready, Em, Amy and I are going to the mall today" I tell him, standing up off the couch.

After watching the movie last night, we all fell asleep on the couch. Arrex was currently taking a shower, Colton and Ace had left to get breakfast, even though it was technically lunch time and Beck being the lazy ass he was, went up to his room to sleep.

"Why?" Arrex questions, rubbing his hair rapidly with a towel as he stomps down the stairs

"I have to get an outfit for tonight, I have to dress nice" I tell them

"I'm gonna be honest you look weird when you dress up" Caleb chuckles "I'm so used to you barefaced, shorts and a T-shirt with your Jean jacket or hoodie"

"Wow you just summed up my whole wardrobe" I grin

"I KNOW" he laughs "Oh by the way we're going to a party tonight" he tells Arrex to which he responds by simply shrugging and nodding.

"Wait there's a party tonight?" I question "I might come"

"Yeah you should come after your date" Caleb smirks

"It's not a date! We are simply going out for food"

"Yeah at a place where you have to dress nice, it's a date" Caleb argues

"Fine call it whatever you want, I know it's simply just two people getting food" I retort before walking upstakrs to our second bathroom to take a quick shower
