"lily! they're here to see you!" i heard someone call from the kitchen.

i hummed in response. i wasn't fully awake. i didn't even have my eyes open. i didn't care enough to get up.

i tried going back to sleep when i heard my door bust open. i cracked my eyes open to see paige running towards me and madi closing my door.

"up up up! outta bed woman!" she yelled, grabbing my arm and forcing me to sit up.

i only hummed and rubbed my eyes.

"wake up! we need to talk!" madi exclaimed, sitting next to me.

"gimme a minute. if you can't see, you too just woke me up!" i had my eyes open now. their energy helped me wake up faster.

"soooo... how are you feeling?" madi shook me.

"tired."

"no! about johnny?" her voice quieted down a little bit.

i immediately blushed and shook my head.

"you're smiling! i can tell you like him." paige shook me this time.

"ok, ok. if i tell you will the two of you shut up?"

they both nodded profusely.

"ok, fine. yes, he is extremely hot and very sweet."

they looked at me than each other. then they both let out a very loud scream.

"JESUS CHRIST! MY EARS!" i shouted covering my ears as we all burst into laughter.

"LILY, YOU HAVE A CRUSH!" paige yelled.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" i shrieked.

"PAIGE!" madi yelled at her.

"WHATS GOING ON!" i heard a female voice yell from the living room.

"CLEO!" the three of us yelled at the same time.

i got up and ran out my door. i saw cleo standing in the living room with matt. they were looking in the direction of my room with wide eyes.

"cleo!" i yelled, running to her and jumping in her arms.

she caught me and laughed. i had my legs wrapped around her torso and she had her arms around my back.

"save me from paige and madi." i whispered.

"oh no girl, your gonna tell me all about it!" i could her the smile in her voice.

i jumped down and she dragged me to my room, closing the door.

"paige, before you say anything, remember that johnny is right across the hall." madi put her hands on paige's shoulders.

"yes yes. sorry lily. i'm just so excited for you. i mean it's johnny orlando!" she whisper-yelled.

"you don't think i know that?! i went to his studio yesterday!"

"what happened?!" madi asked.

i told them how we didn't really do anything but sit around and listen to music.

"boring!" cleo laughed as she plopped down on my bed. her straight black hair sprawled out down past her breasts.

"whatever," i rolled my eyes. "did you bring you cart?"

"no."

"thanks a lot, bitch." i laughed.

"i brought mine." madi said, she got off my bed and grabbed her purse.

i leaned forward and pulled my novo out of my nightstand. i took a hit as i turned back to paige who already had her nord in hand.

we laughed and lightly hit our devices together.

"cheers!" we laughed and took a hit of each.

madi hit the cart and passed it to paige, taking the nord from her and hitting it. i handed my device to cleo, before i heard nick running down the stairs, yelling my name.

"shit! door!" i whispered. i jumped off my bed and locked the door.

"lily! madi! open this!" he rattled the door handle.

i laughed and looked back at cleo who was hitting her cart.

"i'm changing!" i yelled, running back to my bed.

"ugh! hurry up!" he yelled.

i took a hit of cart quickly. we all waved our hands around like crazy to get rid of any smoke.

madi put my novo, paige's nord, and cleo's cart into the bottom nightstand drawer under some books.

she grabbed a small lighter i had in my top drawer and threw it to paige.

"paige! candle!" she whisper-yelled.

i grabbed clothes from my dresser as she lit the candle that sat on top of it.

i ran to my bathroom with the clothes and slammed the door. madi unlocked the door.

"what nick? she's in the bathroom changing."

"well, tell her to hurry up!" he yelled.

i changed quickly and walked out of the bathroom.

"what do you want?" i rolled my eyes and put my other clothes away.

"are you telling them about johnny?" he teased.

"yes, i already did."

"good!"

"nick, be honest, does she have a chance?" cleo asked.

"i don't know." he shrugged. "but, i'm sure we will find out. are you guys hungry?"

"yes!" the four of us answered at the same time.

"ok, i'm gonna ask matt, chris, and johnny if they want to get breakfast."

"alright sounds good." i said, giving him a thumbs up as he left the room.

i went to my vanity and started in my makeup. once i was finished, i was for sure high.

"yup, i'm high. you guys?"

"yup." they nodded.

i laughed and nodded along.

"also, if we are all going to breakfast, i'm driving the two of them and nick. you can ride in your car with your lover boy." cleo said, sitting up and walking over to me.

"which one. matt is also a lover boy." i said.

we all laughed.

"you know which one." once i finished we left my room and walked out to the kitchen.

everyone else was ready to go.

"nick, your riding with us." cleo told him as he gestured to paige and madi.

"ok, lily and johnny you're with us!" matt said, grabbing the car keys and gesturing to chris.

"ok, let's go." i did a double check of my pockets and nodded.

then we walked out the door.
