"Good luck being a Sophomore today." Christine says to Chloe, who just rolls her eyes.

We walk up the steps into school, and the first thing you see when you walk in is a banner against the wall with the words SENI9RS, painted in black. Today is now Friday, which means color wars.

Our school goes all out for color wars. A few years ago they almost banned it because a few students painted one of the walls black, but the board just put stricter rules on the day. That didn't really do much though.

I am wearing my hair down, with a black bandana acting as a headband. I have a black shirt on with the my last name on the back along with a '19, that our class president had made for today. Along with that I was wearing black jean shorts, a black bandana around my thigh, and my low top black converse.

Christine goes her separate way to her homeroom, and I walk towards my locker. As I'm grabbing books, I see someone come up next to me. I look up to see Xavier, who has black sunglasses on the top of his head, a black t-shirt, black jeans, and black vans on.

"Hey." I say.

"Hey, you guys really do take color wars serious here." He tells me, as he watches seniors in all black walk past us.

"Yeah, we are known for our school spirit." Whenever someone brings up Lakefield High School, the first thing they think of is how big we are on school spirit and pride.

The bell rings signalling that homeroom starts in five minutes. "I got to go, see you in ceramics." Xavier bends down and kisses my forehead before walking off.

I watch him walk away, blushing now. I then shut my locker and make my way to my homeroom.

----

Since today is the last day of spirit week, our homecoming pep rally is today. Christine and I met up at my locker with Xavier, Blake, Grayson, and Lucy. We all are now sitting in the bleachers in the gym, as the pep rally starts.

"Helloooo everybody! Welcome to Lakefields 2019 spirit week pep rally!" The emcee, Marcus, shouts through the microphone.

Everyone cheers back to him. "Alright, let's now hear it from the classes."

"Freshman, how loud can you get?" The freshman class then shouts as loud as they can.

"Sophomores?" They shout just as loud.

"Alright Juniors, I think you can beat that." They do.

"Now to our Senior class. Come on guys! Let's shake this auditorium." Everyone stands up and screams as loud as they can, as some of the guys have noise makers and someone waves around the 'Sen19rs' poster from the lobby.

I look to see Xavier, Blake, Lucy, and Grayson all holding their ears. Oh shit, they must be hearing this fives times louder than we are.

"Jesus, are you guys always this loud?" Lucy says, as we sit back down.

"That should be the worst of it." Christine tells her.

The pep rally goes by quickly, and soon it is the end of the day and everyone is excused. We all walk out together, and say our goodbyes as we go to our own cars. At my car I see that Aidan and Chloe are hanging around it.

"Hey!" I say as I approach them.

"Hey."

"Hey, I'm going to hang out with Aidan." Chloe says.

"Okay, see you later." I put my bookbag in the back of my car, as Aidan and Chloe walk to Blakes car.

I drive home, and when I get there I see that I am the only one home. I walk in and let Noelle out back, when she comes back in I go up to my room. Once I get up there, I grab a black sweatshirt, and slightly touch up my makeup.

The student section at the football game is doing a black out since it's our homecoming game. I text Xavier to see when he will be coming to pick me up.

He texts back, 'I'll pick you up around 6:45."

I then text Christine, 'Hey, where do you want to meet at the game?'

She texts back, 'Let's meet where we sat last time in the student section.'

I text her back an 'Okay' and then I go downstairs into my kitchen. I make a strawberry and banana smoothie, and go into my living room to watch t.v.

I watch a few episodes of The Office, before my dad comes home. He walks in, "Hey Amelia. Is Chloe home?"

"No, she's out with Aidan."

"Are you going to the football game tonight?"

"Yeah. Christine, Blake, Xavier, and I are all going. Are you doing anything tonight?"

"Amanda is going to come over, and we are just going to hang out here."

"Okay." He then walks upstairs to his bedroom, most likely to change out of his work clothes.

After a few more episodes of The Office, Xavier texts me that he's outside. I slip my shoes on and grab my wallet and keys.

"Dad I'm leaving." I shout, so he can hear me from his room.

"Alright, be safe. Love you."

I walk outside, and make my way to Xavier's car. I get in, and lean over and give him a kiss.

"Hey!" I say, as I buckle up.

"Hey. Blake said that Christine told you where to meet them." Xavier says, as he starts the drive to the school.

"Oh yeah, just where we were sitting last time." I tell him.

He gives me a nod. We get to the school and Xavier parks in the senior lot, near the front of the school.

I get out as he does, and he holds my hand as we walk to the line to be let in. The line was long, but we finally make it through, and head to the student section. I see Christine, and start to lead the way to where she and Blake are.

"Hey!" I say as I sit next to her, Blake on her other side.

Xavier and Blake do some handshake, and Xavier then greets Christine. Xavier moves to sit next to Blake, as Christine stays next to me. Zoe then comes over and talks to Christine and I.

"I see you're wearing Daniels jersey again." I tease Zoe as she blushes.

"Yeahhhh. Are you guys coming to Nathans party tonight?"

"We are, can you send me his address again." Zoe nods.

"I just sent it. I'll see you guys at the party tonight. Bye!" She says, as she walks back to where her friends are sitting.

——

The game ends with us winning 40-15. We leave the stadium, and walk down to Xavier's car to talk about the plans for tonight.

"Okay, we should take one car there. I'm going to take Amelia home because she wants to change and then we can meet at my house in about an hour and take my car to Nathans. Is that okay with everyone?" Xavier asks.

"Yeah. We'll see you guys in about an hour." Christine says.

Blake and her then walk over to his car as Xavier and I get into his and drive back to my house. Once back at my house, Xavier follows me into my house.

"Hey guys." Amanda says, as her and my dad sit on the couch watching a random tv show.

"Hi." Xavier says to my dad and Amanda.

"Hey, can I hang out with Xavier, Blake, and Christine tonight?"

"Sure, just text me if you are coming home or sleeping over somewhere. Also be safe" my dad says.

"I will." I then grasp Xavier's hand and we walk up to my room.

I close my door, and Xavier takes a seat at my desk chair as I go to my closet. I decide to wear a white off the shoulder crop top, with flowers on it, and my blue ripped jeans. I put a sweatshirt over it, so my dad doesn't question my attire.

I walk out my closet, and go into my bathroom and clean up and reapply my makeup. Once satisfied, I go out and sit on my bed across from Xavier.

"I'm ready to go." I tell him.

He stands up, and takes my hand and we then leave my room and go downstairs.

"Bye dad, bye Amanda!" I say, before shutting the front door behind me.

Xavier and I walk to his car, and then drive back to his house. Once we get there, we go inside and see his mom and dad are on his back patio. He leads us out to where they are.

"Hey mom and dad."

"Hi." I say to his parents.

"Hi Amelia!" His mom greets me with a smile.

"Hey guys." His dad says to us.

"We are going to hang out tonight with Blake and Christine, we should be home later." Xavier tells them.

"Okay! Are you staying over Amelia?" His mom asks.

"Oh I don't think so." I tell them.

"Well you are welcomed to whenever you want to." His dad tells me.

"Oh okay, thank you."

"We are going to go now." Xavier says.

"Alright, I hope you come over for dinner soon Amelia!" His mom says to me.

"I will!"

Xavier then takes my hand and we walk back into his house, then go up to his room. As we pass Lucy's room, I wonder what she's doing tonight.

"Wheres Lucy?"

"She's out with Grayson for their anniversary. They went to Los Angeles for the night." He tells me.

We enter his room, and he goes to his closet and grabs a new shirt. He takes off the one he's wearing and throws on his new one, but not without giving me the perfect view of his abs.

"Blake and Christine should be here soon." I say, as I lay on his bed scrolling through my phone.

He comes and lays next to me, and I put my phone down as I turn to face him.

He looks into my eyes as I look into his and I can see the love in them. My eyes flicker to his lips, and I am reminded of our little makeout session from earlier this week.

I blush and look away from him. He grabs my chin to bring my attention back to him, and leans in. He grabs my hips and pulls me on top of him as I deepen the kiss.

He then sits up, not disconnecting the kiss, and puts one hand on my cheek and the other on my hip. I pull away and he then moves and starts to kiss my neck.

I unzipper and take off my sweatshirt, and he then moves his lips back up to mine. He then goes to pull his shirt off, but there is a knock at his door. I jump off of him, and he groans while looking annoyed.

His mom says through the door, "Blake and Christine are downstairs."

"Okay!" I reply back and put my sweatshirt back on.

He stands up, taking my hand, and opens his door. We see his mom no longer there, and walk downstairs. We go into the living room and see Christine and Blake sitting on the couch.

"You good bro?" Blake asks, as he sees Xaviers annoyed face.

I laugh, "he's fine."

Xavier smiles at me, and leads us all out to his car. I sit up front while Christine and Blake sit in the back.

We blast music all the way to Nathan's house, and have the windows down. It reminds me of summer and just how much I miss it.

Xavier parks down the street, and we then get out and walk up to Nathan's house. You can slightly hear the music, but not enough for the party to get busted.

We walk in, and go to the basement, where the party is. Once down there, I see it is very crowded, and everyone is basically up against each other. I grab Christines hand so I don't lose her, and Xavier puts his hand in my back pocket as he walks beside me.

"I'll go get us drinks!" Christine says, then walks away with Blake.

Xavier and I walk where most of the people are dancing. I spot Zoe, and pull Xavier with me towards her.

"Hey!" I shout over the music.

She already very sweaty and a little tipsy. "Hey!" I then see Daniel behind her.

"Hey Daniel." I say, and him and Xavier give each other a nod.

"Is Christine here?" Zoe asks.

"Yeah, she's getting drinks right now."

Daniel then whispers something to Zoe, and she giggles. "I'll see you later." She says, before they start to head to the stairs to leave the basement.

"Wanna dance?" I ask Xavier.

He shrugs, and I start to sway my hips to the beat of the song. When the song changes to a slower beat, that's when I start feeling the beat.

I turn around so my back is against Xaviers front, and he instantly grabs my hips. As I start to sway my hips to the beat again, I feel him tighten his grip on my hips.

He moves his mouth to my neck, and I can feel his hot uneven breathes. He lightly kisses my neck, which is much easier now without my sweatshirt on.

Christine stands in front of me, and gives me a smirk. I pull away from Xavier and take the drink from her hand. I take a quick sip, and hand it back to her.

The song changes to something more upbeat, and Christine and I start to dance together. We rap along to the lyrics as we jump around for a few songs.

After about an hour of dancing, I have the sudden urge to use the bathroom.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom." I tell Christine and Xavier.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Christine asks.

I shake my head, and walk away as I make my way upstairs. I find a powder room near the front door, and use it. As I leave it, I see Nathan in the kitchen.

When he spots me, he waves me over to him. I walk over, and see that he's hanging out with his group of friends in the kitchen.

"Why aren't you downstairs with everyone else?" I ask him.

"It's too loud and crowded. We usually chill somewhere else while at parties." He tells me.

I look around his kitchen, and I spot all of the popular girls and guys, including Blair and her new boyfriend. She scoffs when we make eye contact, and turn to start making out with her boyfriend.

I look back to Nathan. "Oh well thanks for inviting me. I'm going to go back to the party."

"See you later Amelia." He says, as I turn and walk back downstairs.

I can't find Xavier, Christine, or Blake for a good ten minutes. Instead I see Zoe hanging out with Violet and Daniel on one of the couches.

I walk over to them, and sit down next to Zoe. "Hey!"

"Hey, have you guys seen Christine or Xavier?"

"No, sorry."

"It's okay. What are you guys up to?" I ask Zoe.

"We are just chillin since so many people are on the 'dance floor' right now." She explains.

I look at my phone, and see that it's already 12:30 am. I also have a text from my dad asking if I'm coming home tonight.

I text him back that I'll be home in the morning. Hopefully I can stay over at Christine's or Xavier's house.

I spot Christine in the crowd, "I'll see you guys later." I say to Violet and Zoe, and push through the crowd to Christine.

"Where have you been?" Xavier asks, when I finally get to them.

"I couldn't find you guys so I was sitting with Zoe, Daniel and Violet. Can I sleepover at your house Christine?"

"I'm sleeping over at Blakes tonight actually. Sorry."

"You can sleep over at my house." Xavier tells me.

"You're cool with that?" I ask him.

"Of course."

"Do you want to go now then." I ask the group.

They all nod, and we push our way through the crowd and to the stairs. We go upstairs and leave, and walk to Xavier's car. The car ride back to Xaviers is silent, because we are all so tired.

We get back to Xaviers, and Christine and Blake walk to his car after we all say goodbye. Xavier and I walk into his house, and then straight to his room.

"Here, you can wear this to bed." Xavier says, as he comes back from Lucy's room.

"Just shorts?" I ask, while laughing.

He hands me one of his t-shirts, and then takes off his pants causing me to quickly turn around.

"A little warning next time will be great." I say, as I walk to his bathroom to change. All he does is chuckle.

I change quickly, and leave the bathroom. I see Xavier laying on his bed in just basketball shorts.

"Do you know if your mom or Lucy have any makeup remover I can borrow?" I really don't want to sleep in this makeup and break out tomorrow.

"I'll go ask my mom." He gets up, and I feel bad he's about to wake up his mom at 1 am.

I sit on his bed and scroll through my phone, and he comes back with a pack of makeup wipes.

"Was she mad you woke her up?" I ask.

"No, she wasn't asleep yet anyways. She usually stays up really late because she has trouble falling asleep." He tells me.

I take the pack from him, and go back to the bathroom. Xavier stands in the doorway as he watches me take off my makeup, and then splash water on my face. He hands me a towel to wipe my face off with, with an amused look on his face.

"I know I look ugly right now." I joke with him.

He shakes his head. "No, you look so beautiful just doing random stuff."

I blush and walk past him towards his bed. He follows me, and I lay on the left side as he lays on the right, and he puts his arm around my waist.

I quickly fall asleep, and I can tell Xavier does too, because I hear his breathing even out.
