'No, I want to go outside! Discover the place. I mean, come on, guys. We're in Paris and you guys want to spend your time staring at your phone playing stupid games?' Ariadne was whining.

William looked at her, and shrugged. 'Yeah.'

Lily rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. 'Boys,' she mouthed to Monica and Ariadne, and they both nodded.

'Besides, we've got seven days left to "discover the place".' Louis added, and earned a pillow in his face, being thrown by Lily. 'Ouch! What was that for?'

'You guys are boring.' Monica stated the obvious, as she looked at the three boys, who were all looking at their phones, being busy with who-knows-what.

'Alright, you know what? Why don't we just go? We'll leave you boys alone, and we'll go outside.' Lily stood up and grabbed Ariadne's and Monica's hands, and pulled them with her to the door.

'Great idea.' Louis said as he- finally- looked up at her. His eyes widened when another pillow hit his face, and Lily laughed. 'You really gotta work on your reflexes.'

'Okay, okay, have fun.' He grumbled as he made -correction, tried to make- an angry face. He only looked cute like that.

'Thank you.' Lily smiled at him as she scrunched her nose. Then, she shut the door, and the three girls left the hotel.

They were wandering around a lot, going into random sideways. After about 20 minutes, they found a little café, and the three girls went inside.

They sat down and someone came to get their orders. 'Hi, can I have the strawberry mint ice tea?' Lily asked as he wrote it down.

Ariadne got an iced coffee and Monica got lemon ice tea. After a while of waiting, the same guy came up with their drinks, and they thanked him as he left.

'He is kinda cute, isn't he?' Monica suddenly said. Lily furrowed her eyebrows.

'Uh, Mon? Aren't you and Mason kind of. . .  a thing ?' She asked. Monica responded with an confused face. 'What? Where did you get that from?'

'I mean, it is kind of obvious. . .'

'What is obvious? Just because Mason and I share a room, you think we are a thing?' She laughed a little. 'That's ridiculous.'

Lily shrugged and took a sip from her drink. She looked at Ariadne if she had anything to say about it, but she saw she was filming with her phone.

'Okay, and what if I show this to Mace?' Ari raised her eyebrows as she smiled triumphly. 'You admitting you don't like him, I wonder how he'd react to that. . .'

Monica sighed whilst rolling her eyes. 'You can be so mean sometimes, I swear. . .' She sat up in her chair as she crossed her arms. 'Fine. I admit I maybe have –maybe, it could be not true, so keep that in mind– a small little crush on Mace, but Ari, you'll tell us everything about you and Will, and Lils, you'll admit you have a crush on Louis.'

'I do not!' Lily immediately called without even thinking about it. A few people in the café looked at her, probably because of her loud voice.

Monica raised her eyebrows. 'Are you sure about that?'

'Ye–' She stopped her she thought about it. 'No, nevermind. I don't know! Wait, I know. Yes, I maybe have a small crush on Louis. . . But it doesn't mean anything, really.'
