"Why are you laughing?"

"Is it your man, again?"

"Man? Anais, what? What? What man?"

"Chanel, where have you been?"

"It's been a while, okay? She exclaims, as the three girls find their usual seats in Anais' least favorite class: British Literature.

"Ha ha," Anais snorts.

"Wait, no seriously," Chanel says, leaning over in her chair. "What's she talking about?"

Magdalena smirks, lifting her phone to her face. "Yeah, Ana," she says. "Tell her what I'm talking about."

"You have a boyfriend?" Chanel pokes her in the side. "Who is he?"

"Chanel!"

"You finally hooked up with Lucky, didn't you?"

"What? Chanel, no!" Anais exclaims. "I have not hooked up with Lucky. Thanks."

"Ah, too bad," Chanel sighs. "You've been into him for a while, no?"

"She's moved on," Magdalena says, eyeing her with a sly grin. "Haven't you, Ana?"

Anais rolls her eyes. "I don't know what you're both talking about, honestly, because I'm not talking to any boy, see?" And to both girls beside her she holds up her phone. "It's Snapchat."

"Ooh, is that Broderick?"

Anais nods, laughing as a ten second video of Broderick Hunter singing to himself in the shower plays over her phone.

"Why are all the senior guys so hot?" Magdalena sighs. "It's a shame they're all graduating."

"That's why you need to stop being shy and talk to them, now," Chanel grins. "And finally, Anais got a Snapchat!"

Anais quickly silences her phone. The teacher hasn't shown yet, and she peers around as some classmates turn in their seats at the noise they're making in the back of the class.

"Shh, Chanel!" She laughs. "Oi. Let the world know, would you?"

Magdalena pauses the text she's typing, diverting her brown eyes from her phone to Anais. "Who's it from?"

Anais quickly swipes to her unopened chats.

She's got one from Soo, another from Cara, and a third-the newest one-from the username luckybsmith.

Shit.

It's...

"Lucky?" Chanel raises a brow as Magdalena only chuckles softly to herself. "You're sure you're not seeing him?"

"Positive," Anais grunts. And to be perfectly honest, she hasn't thought about Lucky like that in quite some time. She's almost forgotten about her past infatuation and near obsession with him, anyway, she realizes.

"What's changed?" Chanel asks. "God, I feel like we need to catch up. Why don't I know anything in your life, anymore?"

"Good question," Anais replies honestly, as she stares at the new snap from Lucky. The Design Majors were all close-all of them like a clique of their own. It's why she became friends with Soo and Cara and Jourdan in the first place. Most of them were in many of the same classes, and they collectively put on enough fundraisers and shows so often that they pretty much saw each other 24/7.

Louis was Anais' only close friend that wasn't in Design.

Well, him and now Zayn.

Zayn.

"Why're you smiling, Ana?" Asks Magdalena with a smug little grin.

"It's a boy, isn't it? It's Lucky, isn't it?"

"No, no," Anais replies, finally clicking on Lucky's snap. "I swear, it's not Lucky."

And she clicks on the message she's been sent, only for Lucky's face to appear. Anais giggles, as Magdalena and Chanel both peer over her shoulder.

Lucky's sent her a message that's over twenty seconds, so Anais immediately assumes that he's sent her more than one picture.

She's right.

RAWR. reads the first picture.

He's pouting behind a Starbucks cup.

And then another one.

There are giant textbooks sitting atop the table, and he's crudely drawn devil horns and a tail coming from the cover.

I fucking hate physics.

And then, comes the video.

"Guess what the Starbucks on East 8th has, now?" He asks, holding up a little brown bag. He wiggles his eyebrows playfully. "Blueberry scones," he sings.

"Everyone in the world must know you're obsessed with those," Magdalena laughs.

Anais only rolls her eyes as Lucky's video ends.

A new snap comes in.

It's a picture of the scone, sitting on top of a table, in what Anais is assuming, Starbucks.

Are you going to the party Saturday?

Anais looks up from her phone. "There's a party on Saturday?"

"This weekend?" Asks Magdalena.

Anais nods.

"Yeah," comes her response. "Ian and Adonis are throwing it," she explains. Then, she looks to her friends. "Are we going?"

Chanel shrugs. "Their last party was pretty fun," she says. "I say we should."

And both girls stare at Anais.

"What?" She asks.

"Well, are you in or not?" Chanel laughs.

"Why's it got to be my decision?"

"Because, Ana!" Chanel exclaims. "We haven't been out in ages! Honestly, where the fuck have you been, lately?"

"My house," Anais replies, although she knows that's a lie. She's gone out, except lately, 'going out' has pretty much meant 'hanging out with Zayn.' She pouts, "Guys, I go out."

"Just not like we used to," snorts Magdalena. "Come on, Anais! If Soo and Cara and Jourdan and Joan go then it'll be just like old times! This'll probably be the first time everyone's single in like, ages."

"Holy shit, that's so true," Anais exclaims. Since Chanel broke up with her boyfriend at the beginning of the semester, this will be the first time that every one of her closest friends has been single since they were freshman.

Because of that, she nods. "Alright, fine," she says. "I'm in."

"Yay, Ana!"

"Fucking finally."

Anais only shakes her head, holding out her camera and ushering her friends into the picture.

"What's this for?" Ask Chanel, as the girls start fixing their hair and finding their angles.

"I've got to send Lucky a response," she laughs. "Duh."

And Anais snaps the picture, captioning it with a few little smiley emoji's and a: We'll be there.

Lucky snaps her back.

It's a selfie. His cute little face is fixed into a grin, eyes wide, straw on his lips.

Can we hang out please? Miss youuu

Anais doesn't know how to respond to that. This is the second time that day that a boy is telling her that he misses her, and while Zayn was kidding (so she thinks), she's pretty sure that Lucky isn't. Her instinct is to simply not respond, but there's another part of her telling her that she can do this. Lucky had been her friend for forever, so why should things change? She shouldn't keep ignoring him-She can't, and besides, (her stomach flutters at the thought), there's Zayn.

She smiles.

There's Zayn.

Finally, the teacher hurries into the classroom.

He apologizes for being late, and as he urges students to take out their anthologies, Chanel nudges her friends.

"We need to hang out before then, okay?"

"What?" Magdalena asks. "That party?"

"Duh," comes the reply. "Come over to my place this weekend, okay? Let's like, hang out and do something or something," she says, "I don't know. I want a girls night."

"That sounds like fun," Magdalena grins, and she and Chanel both turn to Anais.

She scoffs. "Really?" She whispers. "Why do you turn to me, again?"

"Yes, 'really,'" Magdalena says with rolled eyes. "Are you in or not?"

Anais rolls her eyes. "Of course I'm in," she replies, and Chanel grins, satisfied.

Ana flips open her book. "Sheesh."
