Maddy and Amelia were always the queen bees of the school. Every year on the first day of school they made sure they had epic outfits eventually that toned down since it seemed they always dressed up for school. When Amelia left it was up to Maddy and Cassie since the two were cheerleaders everyone's eyes were on them.

Amelia was never the girl to cheer; she tried it freshman year because Maddy basically forced her but eventually quit because that was just not her thing. While maddy cheered Amelia would hang out with me that's how we became closer. She would follow me around when u went around fez but she never really said anything she just stayed quiet and stood next to me.

Fez would ask me everyday before school if I was going to stop by to see him after school because he knew Amelia would be with me. Even if they didn't exchange words with each other he just liked seeing her every day other than in school. I never really noticed it until now.

"Okay so do I look good?" Amelia asked, twirling around showing Maddy her outfit, hair and makeup.

"Are you kidding? You look hot if I was Fez I would be on my knees right now" Maddy said putting some lipgloss on.

Amelia rolled her eyes at her comment. "Again, not about him"

"Keep telling yourself that"

Amelia didn't want to admit that she was actually dressing to impress because she thought that just sounded pathetic but it was kinda true. She never knew fez would actually acknowledge her he never did when she was around him back then when in reality he was just too shy to talk to her. It wasn't until recently the two started talking.

When the two girls were done getting ready they got into Amelia's car. They were driving to the store since Amelia had told fez she would stop by. Even if she didn't, Maddy was already feeling the stress of actually being in school and needed to buy something.

Amelia didn't know this but fez had been waiting all night for this. He never thought the girl would actually stop by in the morning just to show him her outfit so he was surprised when he saw her car pull up at the store.

"Here put some lipgloss on" maddy shoved her lip gloss on Amelia's face causing her to roll her eyes.

"I think I'm fine with what I have on," Amelia said, taking her purse and opening the door. Maddy just rolled her eyes and got out of the car too. The two walked over to the entrance while Maddy teased her with jokes. Far away it just looked like the two were just laughing over dumb stuff.

When they walked in Fez looked over to them. At first he thought it was some random girls like he'd been seeing all morning. He looked back up again and tried his best to keep cool.

"Hey how's it going"

"Ash in the back right?" Maddy asked, fez nodded and she walked away leaving the both there alone. At first it was awkward until fez decided to say something.

"You look good," he said, still looking at her. Amelia felt a million emotions just travel through her body. She quickly smiled which caused fez to smile proud that he'd made her smile.

"Thank you. Took about four arguments but still got it"

"That's like y'all thing right? Dressing up?" Fez said, implying to maddy.

"Yep" Amelia replied while she played with the tips of her fingers trying to calm down her nerves. "I'm having a party at my house Saturday if you want to come in pretty sure everyone will be there"

"Won't that like get you in trouble? I don't want your dad getting mad at you and stuff"

"He was the one that told me to make it. Something about showing people that we weren't scared or something I don't know I just obey and make the party" Amelia explained while she leaned on a fridge while fez sat on the cash register.

"If that's the case I'm definitely there just text me the time" fez said making eye contact with the girl which drove him insane.

"You got my number and suddenly want me to text you everything" Amelia playfully rolled her eyes.

"Or you could come here and just tell me in person I'm cool with that too" fez said which caused her to smile even more if that was even possible. "What you doing after school?"

"Maddy has practice and I usually used to hang out with Rue but it's just not the same anymore..."

"Well you can always stop by here like you used to with rue or without her it's cool either way" fez offered trying to persuade the girl to stop by knowing this time they'll actually have time to talk without anything in the way.

"I'll see if I can" Amelia said to Maddy then walked out the room looking at the two.

"Let's go, I think I gave you enough time," Maddy said, making Amelia glare at her about her comment.

"Well, see you fez" Amelia waved at him following behind maddy.

"Bye amy '' he replied as he watched them walk away. When he turned back around he had a smile on his face but it immediately went away when he saw Ashtray peeking his head out the door.

"Really?! Is this going to be like a routine or something?" Fez asked the kid, annoyed.

"Maddy just sat in here trying to give you two time to talk, don't you think that means something?!" Ash exclaimed, just making him nod.

"You know maddy be doing weird shit I wouldn't think to deep about it" fez quickly dismissed. Ash just rolled his eyes and went back into the room.

When maddy and Amelia got to school they quickly found BB and Cassie. They all hugged and began to walk down the hallway talking about the party and what maddy did in the pool. Amelia just chose to ignore it thinking it was something dumb she didn't what others talking about especially when it was with some college dude.

The only thing Amelia could think about was this morning with fez. They definitely sounded more confident with each other. The little flirting the two threw at each other was painful to watch but they were definitely getting somewhere.

Amelia was walking down the hallway about to walk into her last class of the day when she saw rue hanging out by herself leaning on a locker.

"Rue!" Amelia called out getting rues attention.

"Oh shit hey Amy what's up! I like the fit" rue complimented Amelia thought she sounded like she was high but you never knew with rue these days.

"Thank you I was wondering if you could hang out after school like we used to before"

"I would but I have a meeting today but we can definitely hang out tomorrow" rue proposed to the girl.

"Yeah for sure I'll just find you tomorrow" Amelia agreed and then walked into class. When she sat down at the desk she looked down to her phone noticing she had received a text.

Fez
Monday 2:15 pm

How's your day been?

Just got rejected by rue but other than that I'd say good.

Damn. You still stopping by?

Yeah I will.

Can I ask you something?

Sure...?
Wait, should I be worried?

Nah nothing bad.
What did maddy mean this morning about giving you enough time.

When Amelia saw this text she paused not knowing how to reply to that. So she thought about the best way she could dodge it.

Hard to explain.

You can explain later when you get here.

Hmm maybe.
Gtg tho I have class.

Amelia put her phone down and continued to pay attention in class, well not really since the only thing she thought about was what she was going to tell fez about what Maddy said. She was really hating her cousin right about now. At first the wild idea of telling him the truth crossed her mind but then she thought deeper into it and thought she would just sound like a creep but she just couldn't find another reason.

Fez had been waiting all day to send Amelia that text. If it was for him he would text the girl all day even if he didn't even like to text but it was something about receiving a text from her that made him feel some rush inside him.

When class was over she walked down the hallway running into maddy who made her stop.

"Ugh I've missed you the whole day! Where are you going?" She questioned while she held onto Amelia's hands.

"Hanging out with rue as usual" she lied but she really was not trying to hear maddys constant jokes.

"Okay I'll text you when I'm done?"

Amelia nodded as maddy walked away. She then walked out the school then into her car to head to fez store.

As soon as fez saw the clock he knew Amelia was out of school. Every Time someone walked into the store he looked up hoping it was the girl but was disappointed when he saw random kids until one time he looked up and it was actually her making him smile.

"Amy. I was starting to think you stood me up or something"

"No not at all I just had to stop by at my aunt's house for a minute" she replied.

"You can sit if you want," fez pointed over to the chair. Amelia went and sat on it. "You have a good day?"

"It could've been better I guess...I just feel like I used to put so much effort into stuff before which I thought I enjoyed and I thought I still would but after today I found myself thinking what was the point of it?" Amelia rambled on while fez listened and watched her every move. If anyone were to walk in right now they could just tell he liked her by the way he was simply just looking at her with such admiration. Amelia didn't notice of course since was busy just ranting until she noticed and paused.

"I'm sorry I tend to do that a lot..."

"Nah it's cool I don't mind" fez reassured them and looked down thinking of what to ask next. "So how was it being over there with your grandpa"

"It was definitely something I was bored, so I would read and watch every single show to ever be made. I did have friends though there was other people there"

"Any boy action or was it all girls and boys separated type shit" fez asked trying to be as low-key as possible which worked since Amelia would've never guessed he was trying to figure out if she had a boyfriend.

"There were times I guess I didn't really like hanging out with people there, it was weird..."

After that fez and Amelia talked and talked about many different things. Just within one afternoon he found out who Amelia really was which made him fall even more for her. He still didn't want to tell her since he just thought she wanted to just be friends. Amelia mentioned about staying clear of relationships until after high school but she didn't mean it in that way she was just talking about a past experience.

Fez chose to ignore it, not thinking much of it. The afternoon was going fine until one certain person walked in. I'm sure we all hate.

Nate Jacobs walked through the store like usual but stopped as soon as he saw Amelia. "Amy, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be picking up maddy?"

"Yeah... I was actually about to get going" Amelia replied, getting up from her seat.

"Or I could I mean you seem busy..." Nate offered while he gestured over at fez.

"No it's fine I promised I would" Amelia denied taking her keys out of her purse. "Bye fez"

"Bye amy"

Amelia walked out the store mad as ever knowing Nate did that on purpose. Maddy was supposed to text her when she was ready but instead she was listening to Nate jacobs. She just didn't want to talk back to him and let him make a scene that was unnecessary.

When Amelia got to the school she waited for maddy for a while knowing she wasn't done yet. She chose to sit down in her car and just think about everything she and Fez talked about. She enjoyed it. It was one of the first times she felt like she was talking to a person in real life. Then she got to the part where Nate walked in noticing how disrespectful it was so she chose to apologize to fez.

Fez
Monday 5:00 pm

Hey I'm sorry for leaving like that I just couldn't let him pick her up.

Nah it's okay I get it.
But stop by tmr after school?

I might have already made plans with rue but I'm sure she'll forget about it.

Which she was right I did forget her asking me to hang out but she didn't really care since that gave her an opportunity to go hang out with fez again. Which began to be a constant thing between the two of them she stopped by after school everyday to talk to fez.

They talked for hours until it was time for Amelia to leave. By the end of the week the two were close. They weren't as awkward as before but still weren't comfortable enough to even tell their feelings which I understood.
