     I REST MY HEAD AGAINST THE PLANE window. this is going to be a long, internet less ride. as soon as my head hits the head rest i'm out like a light.

paytyn shakes me awake and while i'm still half dead half asleep i stand up and almost trip.

"can you like wake up?" she ask laughing as she grabs our luggage. i mumble. i actually don't remember what i mumbled.

paytyn grabs my hand and leads us off the plan and into the main part of the airport. surprisingly i don't have to pee but i have very bad cotton mouth.

"starbucks. now." i say walking off to the starbucks pop up.

"vanilla ice coffee, in the largest size possible." i say.

"coming right up." after a few minutes i have a coffee in my hands and following paytyn.

"ahhh, pagie!" i hear paytyn yell. the girl replies back and the obvious accent difference from us and her is huge.

"come on." paytyn says pulling me out and into a car. i just keep sipping on my coffee.

i turn my phone off airplane mode and it starts going crazy. pagie and paytyn look at me and i shrug my shoulders. i open my phone and see texts from chris. instagram and tiktok notifications.

i just turn it off. i don't have time for this. sleep all i want is sleep. soon we pull up to this huge, beautiful house. it is small but the floor plan makes it look big.

"on the good side, it's almost bed time. so you don't have so much overload on meeting people and can take a nap." pagie says.

i grab my suitcase out the back and follow behind her up to the house. she opens the door and we walk right in. there are people to the right in the living room with there heads facing away from us. pagie leads us up the stairs to me and paytyns room that we will be sharing.

the plane ride was so long so i just threw on my favorite purple spandex and a black zip up jacket. i stuff my hands in my pockets and head downstairs. i turn to the room where i saw all the people sitting at.

every boy has dark brown hair. i forgot triplets. whichever one gets up and walks to me and paytyn.

"paytyn! emory!" he says getting up to walk over to us. he wraps me in a hug then paytyn next. "i'm so glad you guys could make it." he says stepping back and sticking his arm out directing us to sit.

i don't protest and sit down next to someone. i don't really pay attention to who because i'm still so out of it. it is 1 a.m in the morning. i'm knocked.

"hey." a not so manly voice next to me says.

"sup." i say without looking up at this person. to tired for interaction.

"dang, that's all i get? ouch." he says. "i don't know you. and i'm tired. so yeah that's all you get for now."

"you definitely know me." he says. wow cocky much. "actually i don't know you."i say finally turning to him. my bitchy face drops as i see it is christopher.

"oh em gosh!" i say throwing my arms around chris. his hands rest on my hip bones. "it's so good to finally meet you." he says smiling at me.

"same. you look actually the exact same in person." i say looking over his face.

"and you look even more.. beautiful." he says smiling. my heart beat grows louder it seems like.

"who's this?" a girls voice ask from behind me. chris practically jumps away from me.

"leah. babe, this is emory." chris says as leah sits in his lap. "oh yeah. the girl from instagram." she says.

"yeah that's me, that girl from instagram." i say smiling. she rolls her eyes at me and looks away. i already wanna go home. after a few hours past i find it hard to keep my eyes open.

"alright. i'm going to bed. paytyn when you go to get in bed wake me up so i can move to the couch. gnight homies." i say getting up and waving. i walk into the room and close the door plopping down on the bed and passing out.

i just got here and i already feel like an outcast because of leah. i hate to be like this, but i hope she's not here all the time.
