dovie are u going to dads for 4th of july weekend?

I was getting dressed to go to lunch when I saw that my half-sister texted in our sibling group chat. It only consisted of me, her, and my half-brother, Jack. My dad was never married either of our moms. Yeah, I know it sounds like he was a pretty irresponsible guy, but that's only because he is (As the group chat name implies).

dovie
probably
r u guys?

lily-rose
yeah
thank god ur going
dad's got this new girlfriend who we can't stand

dovie
ugh
anyone i've heard of?

jack

But she's bringing her kids for 4th of july be warned

dovie
lovely

Yes, I love my dad, but it seems like he's onto a new girl each week. You know it's bad when even my 21 year old sister and 19 year old brother dread meeting them. I sighed and continued tiredly putting on my clothes. Premieres always exhaust me. Jules, Jayden and I were going to our favorite little café in Santa Monica. It's a decently fancy place, but they have the best french toast in the world, so it's worth it. Plus, it's fun to dress up. I put on a light pink and white corset top that I got at the Melrose Trading Post (literally the cutest flea market in LA) and some generic denim shorts. I've also recently developed an obsession with rings, so I put on 5-10 of those. As I slipped on the last one, my phone buzzed.

LA baez💋💄

dovie u can drive today right?

Our group chat name makes me cringe. I have no idea who picked it, but we've had it practically since we met, so it's too late to change it. Plus, it makes sense- it's all of the girls from the big group chat who live in LA. AKA, me, Jules, and Jayden.

dovie
yeah when should i leave

jules
i'll be ready in 5
so whenever

Jules and Jayden both live around 10 minutes from me. They've always been best friends since they live so close and have been doing Brat stuff together for years. I don't ever feel too left out though.

dovie

jayden

jules

dovie

u sure?

jayden
yes now stop texting so I can get ready

I rolled my eyes and chuckled to myself. I spent the next 8ish minutes listening to my "wannabe french girl at a cafe" playlist before getting all my stuff together and heading down to the garage. I saw Brad's familiar black car parked next to mine. He and my Mom must have been out back in the pool. I got into my white Mercedes-Benz (16th birthday present from my parents. Eternally grateful) and turned it on. I then turned on my phone, texted my mom to tell her I was leaving, and plugged Jules' address into Google Maps.
     I have a generic idea of how to get there, but not good enough that I don't need a GPS. Lastly, I put my driving playlist on and headed out. The drive always goes by quickly with music. Before I knew it, I was parked outside of Jules' house, and she was walking toward my car. She had a blue sundress on and a white headband. She smiled at me as she opened the passenger seat door. "You're finally wearing that Melrose top!" she pointed out. She was with me when I bought it a few weeks ago.
     "Oh yeah," I laughed. "Loving the dress."
     "Thank you," she smiled. "How much you wanna bet Jayden's not ready?"
     "I'm trying to have some faith in her," I sighed as I shifted back into drive. "It's hard." I quickly handed Jules the aux chord with one hand as I started driving. Whenever I drive with someone, I usually let them take over aux. I'm terrified of people judging my playlists ever since I drove Finn to set one day and he made fun of me for liking Twenty One Pilots songs. I shut him up by reminding him that he's 18 and doesn't have his driver's license. "Can you call Jayden and tell her we're here?" I asked. Jules nodded and quickly tapped her phone a few times before putting the call on speaker. I heard it ring one or two times before a sudden,
     "IM COMING." Jayden quickly hung up and Jules and I sat in shock.
     "Girlll," she laughed. A second later, we saw Jayden run from her house to the car. She got into the back seat and immediately leaned toward me. "I can't believe you're going on a date with Noah Jupe."
     "Oh my god," I laughed. "Only took you 0.5 seconds to bring that up."
     "Literally though, what the fuck?"
     "Somebody jealous?" Jules joked.
     "A little, but I'll get over it," Jayden answered. "You guys have to get married."
      "Whoa whoa whoa," I interrupted, turning around. "I don't even know if this is a date."
     "Of course it is!" she exclaimed. I had no idea how her energy was this high. "He reached out to you to hang out after having met you once!"
     "Well isn't that how everyone starts hanging out?" I pointed out. "Like you have to hang out for the first time at some point."
     "Stop making this difficult!" she shook her head. "What are you gonna wear?"
     "Jayden," Jules laughed. "Down girl."
     "Jules, stop," she said. "Can I please help you pick out your outfit later?"
     "Fine," I gave him...mostly so I could start driving again. "But let's get food first, I'm starving."
"Wait Dovie, can we listen to your wannabe french girl playlist?" Jules asked.
"Oh yeah," I laughed. "Gotta get in the café vibe." I connected my phone to the car again and shuffled the playlist. The café was only 10 minutes away, and somehow, Jayden didn't talk about Noah for 7 of them. Then, unfortunately, right in the middle of Pretty Girl by Clairo, the screen on the dash of my car illuminated with a notification:

noah jupe

     "OH MY GOD," Jayden screamed, causing me to jump a little.
     "Stop! I'm driving!" I laughed.
     "JULES OPEN IT!"
     "Can I?" she asked.
     "Go nuts," I gave in. "Password is 662458." She took my phone and entered my password before opening the text. I tried to hide my excitement from Jayden. What did he send me? "Well?" I asked.
     "Aww," she cooed. "It's a picture of you two at the premiere." I heard my phone buzz again and looked to the car screen to quickly read it.

noah jupe
Forgot to send this last night. You look great

     "Jayden don't scream," I said as fast as I possibly could.
     "Oh. My. God," she whispered. I could practically hear the tension in her breaths.
     "He likes youuu," Jules teased me.
     "Stop it," I shook my head smiling. "Don't jinx it." I don't think I've ever heard Jayden gasp louder.
     "So you do like him!"
     "Well, I don't know," I shrugged. "A little, yeah. But we just met. Plus he lives in London."
     "So? You're both always traveling," Jayden pointed out.
     "Plus like everything is in LA," Jules added. "He'll be here all the time."
     "True," I nodded. "I don't know, we'll see how Monday goes."
     "You have to flirt if you want anything to happen," Jayden instructed. "I know you don't like doing that."
     "Ulgh," I gagged, causing them both to laugh.
     "Do you want me to answer him?" Jules asked as I pulled up to a red light.
     "Gimme," I said, holding my hand out. She gave me my phone and I quickly typed my response

dovie
