Jasmin's POV

   Lu-an and I just got back into the hotel room.  I plop down on the bed.  "Thanks for taking me on this trip."  I say.  She plops down on the bed as well.  She smiles.  "No problem.  I'm glad I got to get you out of the house.  Don't want you to just be stuck there without Do."

"Thanks for being so mindful of me."  "No need to thank me."  Silence goes by for a few moments, until I catch her staring at me.  "What?"

"Nothing.  You're just really pretty."  "Oh, um, thank you."  "Are you always this awkward when someone compliments you?"  She says, playfully biting her lip.

"No, it's just, uh, y'know."  "Know what?"  She says, raising a brow.  "You're Do's friend."  "So?  Friends can compliment each other.  They do it all the time.  Have you never complimented your friends?"

"I suppose you're right."  "Face me."  "What?  Why?"  "Just turn your body and face me."  I slowly do what she says, not seeing the point in it.

"We're going to play the compliment game.  We're gonna take turns giving each other compliments so that it's not weird for you anymore."  Lu-an states.

"Alright."  "I'll start first.  You have really nice lips."  "Uh, thank you.  I like your hair."  "Thanks.  I like your style.  The way you dress is immaculate."

"I like your style, too.  I might have to steal some button ups from you."  I smile.  She chuckles.

"I like your personality.  You're really dope, Jasmin."  "Aawwww, so are you.  You're always so bubbly and fun to hang out with.  And you're really cool."

"Aw, thank you.  No one's ever told me that before."  "I'm surprised.  You're totally awesome.  I'm glad you became friends with Do, because you became friends with me."

"Can I have a hug?"  "Of course you can, bestie."  We embrace each other.  Her hand gently caresses my back.

"It feels nice to hug you.  I don't really get close to people much."  We pull away.  "Really?  You seem like such a social butterfly.  Hell, you're even friends with Hayley Kiyoko."

"I can be social, yeah, but I don't keep many people around.  And Hayley was once just like you and me.  She went to public school like everyone else.  She just ended up famous."

"I know we're kind of done with the compliment game, but I like your outlook on things.  You always look deeper into something and get a different opinion from other people's.  That's really dope."

She looks down and smiles before looking into my eyes.  "I see why Do loves you.  She chose the best person she could've."

"That means a lot."  She yawns.  "Sleepy?"  I question with a smirk.  "Hell yeah.  All my energy is drained from the jumping and screaming."

"Let's take showers then go to sleep.  You can go first."  "Let's just take one together."  "...........What?"

She busts out into a smile.  "You should've seen the look on your face.  I was just kidding, babo."

"Hey!  I know what that means!"  I say, pretending to be mad.  I hit her with a pillow.  She smiles before hitting me back.  We have a brief pillow fight, giggling, before she gathers her things and hops in the shower.

.....

"Goodnight, Jasmin."  "Goodnight, Lu-an."  I turn off the lamp and we lay down, our backs facing each other.
