January 18th, 2020 Rachel's p/v "Wake up. Wake up!" I open my eyes. "What?" Sage hands me my phone. "Open it." I turn my phone on. 20 missed calls from Darry? "What's all the ruckus about?" "Nothing, you go back to sleep." Sage throws a pillow at Jasmine. "Of course." "Why is Darry calling me at 6 in the morning?" "Maybe because you left yesterday with no explanation?" "Uh, he left me? Besides, last night I texted him saying that I was sleeping over at your place. He knows very well my whereabouts." "Cut him some slack, he's just worried about you." "Just yesterday you were telling me to not let Darry control me." "And I still stand by that, but don't you think a call is necessary at least? He just wants to check up on you." "Check up on me? I have my private story for that." "But you don't-" "I don't need anyone to check up on me. Ok, I understand that he wants to see if I'm ok. But when am I not ok when I'm with you guys? I mean, you guys are like my sisters." "Rachel-" "I'll see him after school. Hector told me that his mom gave him and Darry late shifts because two people quit. I won't see him until like 11 pm." "Does that mean you're free after school?" "What do you have in mind?" "We should go skating again!" "Yes, we should!" "Can I come?" Quinn whispers. "Sure! We'll get the whole gang there." Sage holds my hand. "Not your boyfriend, right?" "Well I can't avoid him if he goes." "Convince him not to go." "Why would I do that?" "So just us girls can hang! I don't share my best friend." "Believe me, you made that perfectly clear when I introduced Declan to you." "Declan has nothing on me. You trust me more than him, right?"
No? But I don't want to be mean. I trust Declan more than Sage but I'm not gonna say that. I don't know. "I trust you both equally. But I do have a question for you, and it might have an effect on our friendship." "You're worrying me." "Why did you tell Tyler that the guy I was talking to was my type? And that I was into him. What's up with that?" "I'm sorry, it really looked like you were having a good time with him. I didn't mean to make Tyler upset." "He wasn't upset, just uncomfortable with the whole situation. Please never say those things to him, he easily gets jealous." "Wait, Tyler got jealous?" I turn to Quinn. "He did. My poor angel hated seeing me with that guy. I don't blame him, I would get upset too if I saw him with Mary." "Speaking of your angel, who took this picture of him?" I look at Sage's phone. Aww, he's so cute.

"Desiree is his friend. She's so sweet to me." "Can I see?" Quinn asks. I hand the phone to her. "Isn't he the cutest? 9th grade me would be shocked to know that I scored a guy like him." "Yeah, I know how you feel." Sage and I look at each other and then Quinn. Her face turns red. "I mean, I can only imagine how you feel. I'm not dating Tyler." "Selfie time." Jasmine says in her morning voice. I grab her phone from the nightstand and go into insta story mode. We take a picture. I put a text over our photo and then post it.
