--------------------

It's been two days since Vinnie and Ava's date. Yes, I am going to be counting the days, until they start dating because I want to know how long it's going to take Vinnie to completely move on from me. I guess he already has, but how many days will it take him to move on from me and fall in love with Ava? That's what I'm counting days for.

After having breakfast with Gigi, as per usual, we give ourselves 1 hour of screentime, before planning our day. We're currently 50 minutes in, but I'm not ready to do anything yet.

Gigi doesn't seem ready to do anything either. She has been glancing at her phone and at me from the opposite couch for all 50 minutes like she needs to tell me something.

"Well, time's up. What do you want to tell me?" I begin. Gigi gives me the 'whoa chill. What makes you think I have something to tell you?' look. And I reply with the 'Be for real. I know you.' look.

"Ok fine." Gigi speaks. Of course I was right.

"So here's the thing: on Monday, we're supposed to go to the Hype House." Gigi says and pauses, waiting for me to break since she just mentioned the residence of my ex almost-boyfriend, which I haven't been to for the longest time. Instead, I collect my thoughts and process them before speaking.

"Ok, uhm... Why?"

She gets up from her couch and starts walking towards me.

"Because they do this thing where they binge-watch horror movies the Monday before Halloween with friends. Mia invited Amira, You and I. Not going would be too suspicious. So we have to go, and you have to be the bad independent bitch who you are." she says, placing her hands on my shoulders. Now I know she's not telling me I must see Vinnie. I look at her, waiting for her to add that it's a joke. Her confidence slowly dies as she realizes it's not going to work.

"Ok, I know." She breaks. "It will be hard, but think about it like this." Gigi sits next to me. She takes my hands while I look at her like she's growing a second head. "There are going to be nothing less than... 60 people. Maybe you won't even cross paths."

I meditate on Gigi's words and make a quick mental pros and cons list. For pros, we have nothing, while for cons, we have how it's going to be so embarrassing walking in front of Vinnie as if nothing happened, like I didn't literally beg him to take me back, and he said no. But how do I explain this list to Gigi since she doesn't know I pleaded with Vinnie after I told her we were over? She thinks it bothers me because the Internet is just going to see me as another temporary conquest of Vinnie, and I am the poor girl from which Vinnie has already moved on. And then they're going to think I'm a bitch because everyone saw that picture but never heard we made it official because we didn't. And now he is with Somebody else, and it looks like he just used me when he wanted. I mean, we were whatever we were for 2 months, and not once did we go on an actual date, and the Internet knows that, but yet the first thing he did with Ava was go on a date. So, basically, for the Internet, I'm just Vinnie's poor fling who's a bitch and got used and left. And Vinnie knows this.

"I'm not going." I conclude. I can handle embarrassment up til a certain point.

'Ok, I tried." She gives in. I know she knows it wasn't going to happen, but she still wanted to try, probably for Mia.

"You can go if you want." I remind her. My mistakes shouldn't affect her.

"No, then it's just screaming 'something is going on'" She says as she falls on the couch. She's right. We never go to places like this without each other.
