•Hailey's POV•

Andrea, Jenn, and I were quietly waiting in line to buy our food until my phone started to constantly was beeping. I unlocked my phone and noticed that I had over 50+ messages in the past minute.

Damn how is that even possible?

I looked to see that I was in a group chat along with Nash, Hayes, Carter, & Matt.

Nashty👻: HAILEY ARE YOU OKAY?¿????????

Nashty👻: OMF I CANT😂😂😂 BUT HAILS ANSWER YOURE MAKING MATT CRY NOW😂

Cartah🌚: ....ANSWERRRRRRRR

The rest of the texts were the same. I decided to text them back because they seemed way too worried about m but as I was texting I got a call from Nash.

"Helloooo?" I answered.

"Thank God. You're alive. WHY DIDNT YOU ANSWER OUR TEXT MESSAGES?!"

"I was just about to until you called me. Why do you guys seem so worried about me?"

"Okay good and we're just making sure you're okay."

"Okay.... Well bye Nash."

"Bye."

After my unusual conversation with Nash I went back to Andrea and Jenn. All of a sudden I felt a hand go over my mouth and next thing I knew I was being dragged away.

I tried to get out of the person's grip, but couldn't. I tried to scream, but it was all muffled. The person finally let go of me and turned me around so that I was looking at them.

"Celia!!!" I yelled. (Celia was Hailey's friend from the beginning of the book)

"Hails!!!" She yelled back and gave me a huge bear hug. God did I miss her hugs.

"You freaking scared me! I almost had a heart attack."

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to!"

"It's okay. But let's head back to Andrea and my other friend." She nodded and we started walking back.

"So how're you? Did Nash and them ever find? How's your YouTube career? Is it fun?"

"Woah. Calm down Ceels. But I'm fine and yes they did find me awhile back and it's going really well and it's really fun. What about you?"

"Nothing much just the same old shit, but a different day."

"What about your channel, with Angel, Weirdly Weird?" I asked. (An actual channel btw)

"It's doing well. We reached 1,000,000 subscribers not to long ago." I nodded.

"Oh my God, congrats!!!"

"Gracias!"
==================
As we approached Jenn and Andrea, Andrea started to scream once she saw Celia.

Back then when we were little we called ourselves 'the three musketeers' because there was three of us and we did everything together. Like EVERYTHING!

"Celia this is Jenn and Jenn this is Celia," I introduced them.

"Hi," said Celia shyly.

"Hey!" Jenn answered back.

"You guys go to the car, I'm just gonna get a cupcake from Sprinkles," I said. They nodded in response and left towards the exit.

I walked towards Sprinkles and ordered a red velvet cupcake because they're fucking good.

I looked to my left and noticed a guy in a black suit just staring at me intently which caused me to start freaking out.

Once I got my cupcake I started to walk towards the exit, but soon realized that the same guy was following me. I began to sprint and he started sprinting after me.

As I approached the car I turned around and discovered that the guy was now gone.

Okay I'm probably just seeing stuff or maybe he just disappeared.. Yeah I'm just seeing stuff.

When I got into the car I saw Celia and Jenn laughing and talking to each other. While Andrea was on her phone.

I got out my book, Paper Towns, and began reading while eating my red velvet cupcake.

Let me tell you it's a really good book.

While I was reading, Jenn, Celia, and Andrea started singing Energy by Drake. Since they were singing oh so loud I wasn't able to actually focus on my book and plus it is my favorite song.

"I GOT BITCHES ASKING ME FOR THE CODE FOR THE WIFI

SO THEY CAN TALK ABOUT THEIR TIMELINE

AND SHOW ME PICTURES OF THEIR FRIENDS

JUST TO TELL ME THEY AINT REALLY FRIENDS

EX-GIRL SHE THe FEMALE VERSION OF ME

I GOT STRIPPERS IN MY LIFE, BUT THEY VIRGINS TO ME." We all sang together.

Then after Energy, Legend started to play.

"When I pull up on a nigga
Tell that nigga back back

I'm too good with thes words
Watch a nigga backtrack

If I die, all I know is I'm a motherfuckin legend

It's too late for my city
I'm the youngest nigga reppin

Oh my God, Oh my God
If I die, I'm a legend

Oh my God, Oh my God
If I die, I'm a legend." We all sang once again.

We kept singing Legend by Drake until we were back at Jenn and Andrea's apartment.
