without a break starting at 10 a.m., on Tuesday and Thursday. And then after spending hours in class, I'll be busting my ass in practice.
    “Looking good out there,” Jamie says, walking beside me. I grunt, wishing I could get a massage now. “Do you need to get anything for your classes?”
    “No, I’m good I think,” I let her know. We walk the rest of the way to Katy’s car in silence. She’s standing there with Gavin, in their lovey dovey stage. I’m happy for my best friend and am glad she has someone as sweet as Gavin, but I won’t lie; I’m jealous. It makes no sense why I'm jealous. Breaking up with Jackson was my idea.
    “How are you doing with everything? I know seeing him isn’t easy.”
    I look at Jamie, “Honestly, we’re fine now. After Treston’s yesterday, we went for a drive and talked. Like, really talked. He understands where I’m coming from and respects me. We’ve been friends for so long, so it’s hard to not be in each other’s lives.”
    “That’s really good, babe. I’m happy for you!”
    “Why, thank you,” I smile and we get in Katy’s car. “I’m so freaking hungry.”
    “I think Gavin and some of the guys are hitting up the pub,” Katy says, “I say we go.”
    “Okay,” Jamie and I both answer.
    We get to the house and the three of us shower and get ready. Standing in front of my closet, I look through my clothes. I don’t want to look too girly, so not my style, but I don’t want to look like a bum either. I kneel down and find baby pink shorts to wear. “Perfect,” I mutter. Putting them on, I look in the mirror and gasp. I forgot how short these are. If I bend over, you can see my ass cheeks.
    “Oh my god!” Katy says, coming in the room, looking at me. “You brought out your booty shorts.”
    “No, no. These are going back.”
    “Shut up. Wear them. You look great.”
    I hesitate and then figure why not. We finish getting ready and head to the guys’ house. It’s so convenient that they literally live two minutes away from us. Going inside, Gavin, Ethan, Jackson and Treston stand up and we head out.
    “Baby, you can drive the girls and we’ll meet you there.” Gavin instructs us.
    When we get into Katy’s car, Jamie has the biggest grin on her face. “What’d I miss now?” I ask her.
    She looks at Katy and they both grin. This is so annoying. “So, we totally saw Treston checking out your ass.”
    “Ugh. Hello? Just got out of a long-term relationship. I don’t care if he was checking out my ass. He totally was a dick to me at the party.”
    “That’s Treston for ya,” Jamie says.
    I sit in the back seat, staring out the window, thinking about how he dismissed me at the party. I mean, we were dancing and having fun. I didn’t want to hook up with the freaking guy or anything.
    When we get to the pub, the guys are already there. Gavin meets us in the front and we follow them to the back. Everyone slides in the booth and I notice Treston’s not here. Picking up the menu from the table, I open it and figure out what to get. Seriously, if I could, I’d order everything and not feel guilty.
    Feeling someone sit down and move me over, I look to the side and see Treston. Instantly, I’m annoyed.
    “Can you say excuse me ?”
    “Yeah,” he smirks, “I can.”
    I roll my eyes, “You’re rude.”
    “Nah, just funny.” He takes my menu from my hands and flips through the pages. Is he serious right now? I look around and find our friends looking at us. Jackson has an interesting expression on his face and I’m wondering what he’s thinking. Shouldn’t he be getting mad that his friend is flirting, well I think he’s flirting, with me?
    "So, since we're sitting next to each other, I figure we should start on the right foot." He extends his hand to me, "Hi, I'm Treston Parker."
    "I know who you are."
    He holds his chest with a shocked look. "I'm sorry, did I offend you or something?"
    "Let me remind you about Friday night. We danced and
