"So... how did everything go last night?" Noah smirked at Orla as they sat in the ex-E-Girl spot of the juice bar. He knew that Orla had gone on a date with James, he just wanted to know the details.

"No, I am not telling you!" Orla shook her head. "Anyway, since when did you and I talk about relationships?"

"Come on, Orla, you've never been in a relationship before, so there's been nothing to talk about!" Noah said.

"In a relationship?" Orla asked. "Wait are you saying- what-?"

"What, he didn't ask you to be his girlfriend?" Noah raised his eyebrows.

"No!" Orla said, her cheeks going slightly red. "But... um..."

"But what?" Noah prodded her on.

"We did... um... we kinda... kissed."

Noah grinned. "I knew it, I knew it, I knew it-"

"Shut up!" Orla hissed at her brother, slapping his arm. "I still don't know-"

"Well, you're practically dating now, so what's not to know?" Noah was having a lot of fun, and he wasn't hiding it.

"Dating?" Orla leaned forward, suddenly very unsure about all of this. She hadn't overthought this much on the date, but afterwards? It was a lot to process.

"Yeah, isn't that what happens after a date?" Noah said obviously. "I mean, you could call me an expert-"

"No, you couldn't," Orla frowned. "Who've you been going on dates with? Your stuffed toys?"

Noah sighed. "Touche, Orla, but-"

"But what? Are you saying we're in a relationship?" Orla asked.

"I dunno," Noah shrugged. "I mean, I guess, but the best way to find out is to just ask him."

Orla frowned. "Just, like- what? Straight up go and ask him?"

Noah shrugged. "That's my advice. Though knowing you, Orla, you probably won't take it."

He was right, Orla didn't normally take his advice.

But just this once, only because she was intrigued, she might.

As Orla walked into the studio, she heard West, Chloe and James talking, and she swiftly hid when she heard West ask. "So, man, how was that date with Orla?"

"Details, details," Chloe smiled.

"It was cool man, it was alright," James shrugged, crossing his arms.

"I don't wanna tell anyone about my date with Orla, because she's different, and I don't want everyone to know. It's special."

"I mean, it wasn't good?" West asked.

"It was alright," James shrugged, making Orla smile slightly. He's so playing it cool.

She smiled as she heard someone that could only be Giselle start to guffaw, along with Daniel and Eldon, who were all listening as well.

"Why are you laughing?" James asked.

Giselle stood up, imitating him in a very low tone. "Yeah man, it was cool, yeah, whatever like, it was cool, mate."
