Clay had informed us all when we woke up that he had an interview this morning, and he needed a quiet house. I decided to take Nick and George shopping, as it was really the only thing I could think of that could keep us occupied for a few hours. I tried to gather some information about the interview, but they didn't seem to know much about it either. I knew I didn't have a reason to be suspicious, but something about it seemed a little fishy to me. I didn't know what else he could be getting up to, but it really didn't seem like he was doing what he claimed he was doing.

It was taking a little longer than I had been expecting too, but I also didn't know how long those types of things even lasted anyway. The boys had been dragging me around the outdoor shopping center for hours at this point, and I was getting hungry. As they poked through some random store, I felt my phone buzz.

clay-

guess what

i called lyla earlier because nick won't stop talking about her

i invited her to come clubbing with us

i'm going to tell nick to dm her

meredith-

wait why didn't you text in the groupchat, i wanted to see  :/

i feel like it makes more sense if i tell him bc she's my girl

i'll just say i know you have a thing for lyla, hit her up?

clay-

meredith-

miss you

also... i'm fucking starving, can we eat like asap when we get back

clay-

miss you too midge

see you soon

and yes lol

Clay saying he missed me too made me more excited than I'd like to admit. I knew it didn't mean anything at all, but it was still giving me little butterflies. In an effort to distract myself, I turned my attention back to setting Nick and Lyla up. If I couldn't have the love I wanted, then I wanted at least someone to have it.

"Hey, Nick," I called out, gaining his attention from a few clothing racks away. "Come over here for a second, I need to talk to you about something really important."

He raised an eyebrow and shuffled over to me. "What's up?" He kept his voice low like he thought I was about to tell him some big secret.

"I know you're into Lyla," I smirked. "You should DM her."
