best friend. June, you're one on the bridesmaids. And, oh, you girls should help me with the motif, should I go with white and pink or maybe --"

"Chloe, stop. We are not going to talk about your wedding. No motif, no bridesmaids, no anything wedding, okay? What we should focus on is the auditions. And how sure are you that Jesse wanted to be wed with you? No offense, but you just met my brother last week." Caroline is now angry, well that's what Chloe thinks.

Then June spoke, "And besides how many times have you guys talked to each other? Two times? And he even walked pass by you the first time." June was now laughing at her. "If I were you, I'll focus on the auditions you'll held, and put my 'wedding' to the side for the meantime."

She was speechless, she thought that she was going to have some support from her friends.

"June you know what? If I were you, I would shut up, you little piece of shit." With that the three of them started wrestling on the bed until their hearts were contended. Punches were thrown everywhere as they all laugh. Then suddenly, what was supposed to be their wrestling turned into a pillow fight when Caroline grab for her bolster pillow and slammed it to Chloe's face.

"You bitch!"

June was about to push her off the bed, when a knock was heard from the door.

"I'll get it!" Caroline ran, trying to get away from June's punches. "Hey, Jesse"

Jesse's here?

June went to the door to and stand beside Caroline "Are you here to plan your spring wedding?"

Chloe's eyes suddenly widen, and rushed to the bathroom. She locked the door and listened to the conversation happening outside. I am really going to suffocated that two with a pillow on their sleep. She's hearing voices but she cannot completely understand what their talking about. Then moments later, their voice became clear. They must be inside the room now.

"Have you seen Chloe?" that for sure is Caroline.

"She's in the bathroom, Care."

"I think I am interrupting something; I just went here to ask you to dinner Caroline." Jesse said. So, the two has a dinner date. Traitor.

Chloe, you have no rights to be jealous. They're siblings for Christ sake.

She went out of the bathroom and saw Jesse and Caroline talking. Now where did June go?

When Caroline saw her, she instantly gave her a huge smile. "Actually, I can't have dinner with you because I have tons of works to do for school. I still have an audition to hold next week, and the week after that, classes are starting, so I'll be really busy brother."

"Okay, let's just do it some other time, sissy." Jesse stands up and messed Caroline's hair. He was about to open the door when Caroline spoke again. "But lucky you, Chloe here, doesn't have any plans today. You can take her to date, I mean to dinner. And she can also tour you around the campus since you just transferred here. Right, Chloe?"

She was rooted on where she was standing and had her mouth open. She's confused. Why is Caroline doing this? Is she playing match maker?

"Ginger, wanna have dinner?" Jesse asked with a small smile on his lips.

"Okay, I'll meet you in the café downstairs in 30."

"Great!" then he went out of the room. She is now left with Caroline who is looking at her with a grin on her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Care? It was your idea. You literally matchmake me with your brother." The scene earlier was really hilarious that she can't help but laugh. Caroline laughed with her as well. They both sat on the bed and Caroline laid her head on her shoulder.

"You, know, I'm so happy. I can't wait to be your sister-in-law, Ginger." Caroline said the word 'Ginger' mockingly then she started laughing and playing with her hair.

She shrugged her head of her shoulder and pulled Caroline's hair. "Don't call me that, you know I hate when people call be Ginger because of my hair. I feel discriminated you now."

Caroline just laughed again and helped her find the clothes for the dinner. If it's up to Chloe, she'll just wear pants and a simple shirt. She doesn't want Jesse to think that she's impressing him. We'll get there, but not now. Says the girl who's planning a spring wedding.

Well, Caroline being Caroline chose a very fancy dress from her closet. It's just a simple dinner for Christ sake. It's not like we're having a dinner reservation on some five-star restaurant.

"Care, maybe no with the dress. Did you see what your brother is wearing? Jeans and a shirt will do. But you could do my make-up. Just don't overdo it, okay?"

Finally, after 20 minutes, she stepped out of her room and went to the café located on the first floor of the building. As she enters the café, the smell of brewing coffee welcomed her. She looked around the area hoping to find Jesse her an arm draped over her shoulder. And to her surprise, it was the man she's looking for.

"This way, Ginger." he said while guiding her to the seat beside the window. She felt uneasy having his arm on her shoulder, and not to mention their bodies are very close. Much closer than the encounter they had on the stairs earlier.

When they reached their table, she quickly took a seat across Jesse, and read the menu. A few seconds after, a waiter came to get their order. She let Jesse order first. But he insisted that she go first, so she did.

"Okay, one club sandwich for me and an iced caramel macchiato." she smiled at the waiter who quickly write down her order. "I'll have the same order as her." Jesse said.

When the waiter
