She still had two more days till they left but she wanted to be prepared. The airport was going to be stressful enough, she didn't want to sit in the waiting area trying to remember if she pack an item.

After making sure VonTay's suitcase was ready, she retired to her room, checking off all the items on her check list.

"Lotion, check. Makeup wipes, check." She muttered mindlessly as she scribbled a check mark next to the item name on her paper.

She would have used her phone but she felt better about having it on paper. She was so engrossed with her packing process that she didn't notice her phone buzzing until she grabbed it to check the time. She saw a long list of social media notifications and thought nothing of it. She scrolled farther down to see a long row of texts from MayLin and NeNe.

She felt a panic raising within her, thinking it was an emergency. She clicked on MayLin's contact first, calling her number. The phone ring twice before she heard MayLin's voice.

"Hello? May is something wrong?" Tommy asked frantically, not giving MayLin time to speak.

"Hello my ass! Tommy what were you doing out with Beckham?" She shouts through the phone.

Tommy was confused until her words registered in her mind. She felt her heart drop. How did MayLin know about that?

"What are you talking about?" Tommy spoke trying to sound composed. MayLin scoffed.

"Don't play dumb! Check your Instagram tags." She said.

With shaking fingers, she swiped on her phone and clicked on Instagram. The red bubble showing she had dozens of likes, tags and comments made the pit in her stomach expand. She tapped on the icon, scrolling through until she saw a comment that stuck out.

Clicking on it she saw a video. It was of Beckham's back as he stood in a line. Her eyebrows furrowed as she watched the video, the first few seconds nothing stuck out to her. Then she watched as the person recorded her walking up to Beckham, showing him the gift she had gotten for Hugo.

Tommy took a seat at her desk as she watched the rest of the video. She hesitated before clicked on the comments. Seeing dozens of people from her school saying that she was probably stalking Beckham or blackmailing him made tears build in her eyes.

A few made sexual comments about Tommy's body. Saying 'Beckham looked at her ass and decided to give her a try.'. More were calling him a hypocrite for rejecting her then going out on what they thought was a date.

MayLin called her name loudly, Tommy forgot to put her on speakerphone, snapping the girl out of her trance. Tommy put the phone back to her ear.

"Tommy?" MayLin shouts through the phone.

"Yeah I'm here." She said softly.

MayLin heard the sadness in her voice, feeling bad for her friend. She didn't think before telling her to look at the Instagram. MayLin had been one of the first to see the post, having been tagged in the comment section when it was posted a few hours ago. When she saw it there wasn't a lot of comments on it, but she hasn't checked it since she watched it.
