I pulled out some short cut offs and New York Crop Top. I wasn't sure if I was gonna wear this or not but I switched to a tank top like shirt, but one of those nice ones.

It had a lace back and had a pair of sunglasses as the design on the front.

I went to my bathroom and pulled down my ponytail. "Hmmm..." I said. "I'll just leave the curls in." I grabbed a brush an put it back in the drawer. I did my smokey and a nude lip.

I had my bangs in a French braid and grabbed my glittery headphones, for the long ride. I went to my room and grabbed my red converse. The classics. They were high tops, they looked new cause they are my babies, I clean them once a week and only wear them to special occasions so people remember me.

Weird but it's just a fun thing of mine. Don't question me, haha. Anyways let's stay with the story.

As I grabbed my sunglasses I heard a knock on my door. "Wonder who that could be." I said as I slid my sunglasses on my head.

I opened the door. "Ello there! The names Rupert, I'm here to deliver groceries Miss Ally Elaine ordered." he said with a cheery British accent.

"Oh ya, I'm Nally. I'm gonna be roommate. She isn't flying out until the end of the week." I said. "ah, I see. She usually orders food before she comes." he chuckled as he carried in about 25 bags.

Dang Ally, how much food did you get? I laughed at the thought. "what is it miss?" He asked. "Oh nothing." I quickly covered my mouth realizing I was mimicking a British accent.

"Are you British?" He asked as he raised a brow. If I say no he will think I was mocking him. "Uh... Yes I am indeed." I smiled

"Then why were you talking in a American accent?" He asked setting down a few more bags on the counter. "uh, I'm practicing for a role in a movie." I said lying.

"Ah, which movie?" He smiled. "um... the title is still being debated." I said sheepishly. "well I hope all goes well." he smiled.

I began to put away the frozen items. "Do you need help miss?" He asked grabbing a frozen chicken. "oh no it's fine. I use to help my grandma in a grocery store. I can get this done in 5 minutes." I smiled.

"Alright well I'll be going." before he left I grabbed his shoulder. "hey um thanks. you were really kind. Um check out my booth today at the jameinston center uptown." I gave him a card.

"Oh what do you do?" He asked putting the card in his pocket. "I'm a YouTuber." He looked at me strange "like a job?" He asked "yes it's my 'job'. I make stupid videos to put on the internet." I said putting a hand on my hip.

There was silence. "Look just watch a couple videos of mine and my friends and you'll understand. My channel name is NatPost." I said.

"Oh you're Miss Ally's friend Nathalie!" He said excitedly "She talks about your videos when she comes into the store." I blanked out for a second. "S-She does?" I asked almost laughing.

I never knew Ally talked about me to her LA buddies. "but if you're name is Nathalie, why does she call you Nally?" He asked

"It was just a name that stuck, cause my little sister couldn't call my nathalie." he laughed "Well that sweet. I'll be sure to check out your channel."

He left and I had this fantastic feeling in the pit of my stomach. There was another knock at the door.

"Rupert?" I whispered as I opened the door "hey are you read--" it was jc, and kian.

They were saying that sentence at the same time. "don't you look all fancy." jc laughed "Fancy is my middle name." I joked. "really?" Jc joked back.

"No her middle name is sexy." kian laughed. I just smiled to be nice and locked my door. "Thanks." I whispered. Where's Andrea?!

I wondered. "But what is your middle name?" Jc asked walking next to me down the stairs. Kian took the elevator.

"That is classified." I laughed. "oh come on!" He nudged me. "haha I only tell certain people my middle name." I said rushing a little forward.

"Why? Is it embarrassing?" He raced next to me. "I didn't say that." I smiled. "can I guess." he asked. "Sure." I smiled. We began walking in the parking lot.

"Jamie" I shook my head no. "Kylee?" I shook my head. "Marie, jazz, Alexis, Portia?" I shook my head.

I jumped in the back and saw Andrea staring out the window. Jc and kian were talking outside "hey." I said

"Oh hey!" She wiped her cheeks and I shut the door. The boys are still talking. "what's up Nally?" She smiled. "Andrea what's wrong?" I asked. "what? Nothing." She said.

I raised my brow "fine... I wanted to go out to dinner with kian tonight since our date night was cancelled cause of my next meetup. Him and I argued and he's not talking to me."

I looked out the window to see the boys coming back. "Is there anything I can do?" I asked "Help me smile?" I wiped a tear from her cheek.

A little dramatic don't you think? But she's a friend, why not. The boys got inside and Jc said. "Nally please tell me your middle name!" He whined. I laughed and nudged Andrea.

She laughed as well. "He doesn't know your middle name?" She laughed. "nope and he has to guess." I crossed my arms.

"Fine we can guess on the way." Jc said "how long of a ride is it?" I asked "30 minutes" kian said scrolling through his phone.

"Fine you can guess for 10 minutes then we change the topic." I said. "alright let's see. Marisa? June? Jane? Miley? Francesca?" Andrea and I were laughing out butts off as jc threw out random names

"He's never gonna get it!" Andrea said. "it's not that hard." kian said. We stopped laughing. "Jc you just have to know her moms side of the family's names and you'll get her name easily." he sounded mad.

"Or Nally could stop being stupid and tell you already." my eyes grew wide with anger. "EXCUSE ME?!" Jc stopped the car as I yelled.
