"hey pres." says jafia happily as she slides into the backseat of the brunettes jeep, the girls, including embreigh had decided to go on a spontaneous shopping trip, each equipped with their dads multiple cards. As preslee drove to pick up embreigh, jafia played around with the music, eventually selecting 'godspeed' by frank ocean.

after embreigh had climbed into the passenger seat and the girls had made it to their local mall, the blonde girl spoke "so, have you spoken to brennan?" asks embreigh, taking a sip of her açai refresher (no berries). Preslee frowns for a moment "nope." she eventually reply as jafia and embreigh share a look. "what do you mean no?" retorts jafia as preslee sighs "i don't know. it's just like awkward i guess..?"
"why? it's not like anything happened" shrugs embreigh
"i know but the tension is so bad i can't even-"
"bro." laughs jafia, looking across the food court.

The other two girls follow her gaze, their eyes eventually landing on Paul, and brennan eating burger king.

"fuck my life." groans preslee.
"let's crawl, they won't see us!" hisses jafia as the blonde rolls her eyes
"what are yall doing! they're our friends." she says, dragging her two best friends towards the boys.

"i swear to god that's em, pres and jafia." says paul, gripping my arm. i look up to see what looks like embreigh dragging the other two along like dogs. i laugh slightly, "the fuck.." i chuckle as embreigh comes to a stop infront of us.
"hey guys!" she says brightly, inviting herself to sit down, preslee and jafia following lead. "hey brennan, hey paul!" smiles jafia, as she says his name paul turns bright red, i smirk knowingly,

paul had, had a crush on jafia since like the sixth grade, i was the only one who knew. "hey" says preslee softly, our eyes look for a moment  and i gaze into her hazel pupils before she ducks her head. "so what are you guys doing here?" asks jafia, taking one of paul's fries,
"oh yk. nothing really" shrugs paul as i nod in agreement, suddenly preslee sighs.
"you good?" i ask calmly. she blinks a few times before sighing again, her eyebrows furrowed as she watches her phone screen.
"yeah. it's just ayden, he keeps messaging me about the most random shit. it's getting irritating"
as she says this a ripple of jealously runs through me, where preslee and ayden talking? i attempt to brush it off as nothing but fail miserably.
