A/N: Please read this!! I felt bad for not updating for so long so I wrote this chapter but I am currently writing a different book which in my opinion will be 10x better then this one so If you do like this one you should definitely read the other one when it's released! Also who else is low-key annoyed by Millie, right now shes a pick me.

"2 chocolate milkshakes please."
I nod at them and run around to the till, work has been crazy today.

I hear the bell on the door ring meaning more people came in so I look up hoping its no more than 3.

Fuck.
I quickly look down acting like I didn't see them.

"Millie I'm just here to return your phone."
I completely forgot about that...

"Oh, thanks..." I look up at Jake.
"Sorry about the school incident, I don't know what I was thinking."
All I do is a nod at him.

I walk away before he can say anything else to me.
Work first, do your work first.

I look back to see him walking out the door and a weight gets lifted off my chest.

~~~

My shift ends soon after so I start walking home.
I don't know why Noah came here, a small bit of me wishes he didn't. My senior year was never meant to be this confusing.

When I arrive at the house I see a few lights on, dad must be home.

"Hello?" I call as I walk into the house.
No response?

I sit on my bed and check the new group chat that was made

-Alana T was added, Amelia E was added, Jade O was added, Ryan E was added, +10 others

Jade <3 - Beach trip group chat!!!!
Devin - This is stupid
Jake - I agree
Millie - I think it's cool.

Any chance to disagree with Jake about something.

Noah - Yeah I agree with Mil
Jake - *Eye-Roll Emoji*
Ryan - Only 4 days till the trip!
Jade - We should all go shopping! I need new swimsuits anyway. Tomorrow?

I'm so proud of Jade, at the start of this year she would have been terrified of going on a trip but now she's so confident!

Millie - Sure, who wants to come?
Alana T - I'll come, but only if Jake comes.
Millie - Jake?
Jake- Ok.
Devin S - Ryan and I were going to hang out anyways so sure!
Sadie - Brook, Alec, and I are busy. Sorry, not sorry <3
Noah - Can I join?
Jade - Of course!
Sadie - Actually only Brook and Alec are busy I can come too.

All the other people in the group chat didn't respond.

Weird.

I looked at the time, I probably should get some sleep.

~~~

Jade, Alana, Devin, Ryan, and I get out of the car to see the others waiting for us.

"Let's go to the shop with the cute swimsuits first!!" Jade yells as she and Alana run ahead.

I feel Jake's presence close behind me as I walk.

Everyone kind of split into groups.

Devin and Ryan are at the back of the group, Alana and Jade are way ahead and Noah, Sadie, Jake and I are together.

All the girls start looking at the bikinis as the guys sit on the seats and watch, they're not big into shopping I don't think.

"How do you think this one would look?" I ask Jade while holding up a black bikini.

"Everything looks good on you Mil," I hear from behind me, I look over my shoulder to see Noah said it.

Ew? I didn't ask for his opinion.

My eyes travel to Jake who's giving Noah a side-eye. I think he had the same reaction as I did.

"Cool..." I respond.

I go up to the till and place the bikini down. I search through my purse for my card.

"Shit,"  I mumble.

"What's up?" Ryan asks.

"I must've dropped my card somewhere."

I look down at the bikini I was going to buy, I love it but I'll have to get it another day.

"I'll get it," I look back to see Jake taking his card out.

"Oh my god I can't let you do that, it's like an $80 bikini!"

"Only?" he asks as he swipes his card over the machine. "It's fine Millie, I promise."

"Thank you," I smile at him.

We go to the next store which includes more bikinis but since I can't buy anymore I'll just try them on.

Jade and I go into the changing rooms and try on 3 each.

The first one I put on is lavender but I can't decide if I like it.

"Jade, can I have your opinion on one?"

"Yep just hold on a few minutes," she responds.

I open the curtain and step out of my changing room.

I look ahead to see everyone looking around the shop.

Jake turns around and we lock eyes.

"What the fuck," he starts hastily walking towards me and pushes me inside the changing room while closing the curtain.

"Hey!" I yell.

"You don't walk out of a changing room in only a bikini Millie!"

"Why not?" He sighs loudly.

"Because you're half naked, it's not something you do. Common sense."

"Jeez sorry, I was just trying to show Jade."

Jake looks down at me with an 'are you serious look'

"Then invite her into your changing room, don't walk out into the store."

I sigh and push him away a little because of how close we are.

"It looks suspicious that you're in here with me..."

"I don't care."

(THIS CHAPTER IS WACK I KNOW, PUSH THROUGH IT THE OTHERS WILL BE BETTER)

"Well since you're here, do you think this is a good bikini or not?" I need an honest opinion and he will most likely give me one.

His eyes trail down to the bikini.

"It's good."

"You're not a very big help," I say turning around and looking at it in the mirror.

"You should buy it ok? now put clothes on please." Jake begs while he looks at the wall next to me.

"I lost my card."

"Then I'll fucking buy it." His tone is slightly frustrated. He opens the curtain and leaves.

Weird.

After trying on the rest of the bikinis I hear my stomach grumble. I haven't eaten since last night.

I walk out of the changing room and see the rest of my friends sitting around the shop.

"Let's go," I say.

"Aren't you going to buy something?" Noah questions.

"Yes, she is." I look at Jake confused.

He stands up and takes the Lavender bikini from my hands then walks to the cashier.

"Thank you!" I smile.

He nods and hands me the bikini.

"Let's go get food!" Jade squeals.

"Yes please."'
