i unlocked my phone and scrolled through the spam posts i hadn't seen yet. ugh he made me so mad. everything he said just bothered me. yet there i sat looking through every single post and clicking on his notifications every time they popped up on my screen.

what is wrong with me? all my friends think i'm obsessed with him. maybe i am. but i am NOT a fan. i don't even know why i care so much. i'm first to every post, checking his tiktok all the time. he's on my mind non stop. and still i claim that i hate him.

i hated to even think it, but i wanted to meet him. to see him in person, to know what he was really like. i wanted to be friends with him, to talk to him. i wanted to live a life like the one he was living.

i shut off my phone and closed my eyes, trying once more to sleep until i heard the familiar buzz and picked it up to see what he posted this time.

an endless cycle.

———————————————————————————

i drove down the highway and saw exit signs stretching for miles. i pulled off and down the familiar road to my neighborhood thinking of how far i could've gotten if i kept driving.

———————————————————————————

i opened mattia's spam once again to see his leaked address, phone number and more. hm. i could get to him. i shook away the thought, picked up my pencil and finished another math problem.

INCOMING FACETIME CALL FROM "MARIANA ❤️"

"hey kav"

"hey mari"

"i miss youuu. we should hang out."

"okay. wanna come over?"

"sure i'll be over in a few."

"you can stay the night if it's cool with your mom."

"okay."

———————————————————————————

"KAVIA! MARIANA'S HERE!!"

"COMING"

"heyyyy i missed you!" mar said pulling me into a hug.

"i missed you too even though i saw you last week haha"

"a week is too long"

———————————————————————————

"mar, i've been thinking."

"about what?" she said putting the second coat of white nail polish on my middle finger.

"a vacation."

"HAH me too. too bad we're in a pandemic."

"where would you go? if we could."

"hmmm, somewhere tropical. with a beach for sure. an island maybe. what about you?"

"new york city." i said without a thought.

"oh yeah? why?" she looked up at me questioning.

"i don't know. i always wanted to go. it would be fun to spend time in the city. visit my sister maybe. plus new york city is such a short distance from a bunch of other states you know." i said blowing on my fingers.

"yeah. new york city would be fun. we should go after this is all over."

"yeah." i sighed.

authors note:
i know this is pretty short again but these first few chapters are kinda just to foreshadow what's going to happen and make it make sense you know. i hope it made sense how i wrote it as different little scenes. thanks for reading <3 and hey janna if you're reading this !!
