Nicole lied across Sam's bed, lying across both Moon and Courntey's laps.

Moon had brought them all smoothies and they were all now hanging out in Sam's room.

"It's...It's good." Sam said after taking a sip.

"Agreed." Courtney nodded.

"It has fresh açaí, organic kale, and free-trade hemp oil." Moon revealed.

"Hemp oil? I mean, this isn't gonna get us high, is it?" Sam asked.

"I wish it would." Nicole muttered.

Moon giggled. "I don't think so. It's supposed to balance your kinetic energy."

"Okay, hippie queen." Nicole joked.

"Hey! She's my hippie queen." Courtney smiled and shared a quick kiss with Moon.

"Hey, Moon, I'm really glad you called. I miss hanging out with you." Sam confessed.

Moon smiled at her. "I've missed you too, Sam."

"Yes, we need this girls group. I love all of you guys!"

"Me too."

"Same."

"Yeah."

They were all silent for a moment, until Sam picked up two shirts to show the other girls.

"So, which one do you guys like better? I've been wearing the white top a lot."

She showed them a blue and a white top that she was going to wear to karate class.

"Well, why does it matter? You're just gonna get all sweaty." Moon pointed out.

Sam chuckled and Courtney gave her a look.

"Wait. Do you have a crush?" Moon asked, smirking.

"I..I don't—."

"His name is Robby!" Courtney interrupted.

"Robby with the nice smile." Nicole added.

"Oh my god, knew it was him!" Moon exclaimed.

Sam quickly closed her bedroom door. "Keep your voices down, he lives here!"

"And consumes all of my good snacks." Nicole rolled her eyes.

"So, how long have you guys been...you know..."

"We haven't. We almost..."

"Does Miguel know?"

"Nope."

"She blocked him, remember?"

"Well yeah, but he can still find out."

"True. We won't tell him, Sam."
