That Afternoon

824 26 1
                                    

I wake up from a surprisingly amazing sleep. Everything around me is a blur, including my memory from last night. Kris and I were actually DMing, right? Or did I dream it?

I look at the clock and it's already 1PM. How did no one wake me up earlier? I grab my phone from my nightstand, usually I would lay in bed watching TikTok for at least an hour, but the battery is dead so I have to charge it downstairs. I stumble out of my room, still a bit disoriented.

Downstairs, I see that my parents are at work already, obviously, and they have left me and my sister a note.

"There's food in the fridge for you, hope you both have the best time at the concert, and we will see you tonight ❤️"

"So, you've finally made it out of bed?" Alayna asks. She's on the couch with a tub of chocolate chip ice cream, I didn't even notice her when I walked in. "I still only got ten hours of sleep," I laugh. I put my phone on the charger and sit next to her on the couch. She pauses her movie.

"Wow, I can't believe you stayed up so late, considering this is an important day. Normally you would have done about a million things already," she answers. "Well, something amazing happened," she puts down the ice cream. "What?"

So I start to explain. "Well.. Kris sent me a follow request yesterday, and a DM. And I had to stay up and talk to him," Alayna was seriously shocked by this news. "WHAT?! You really need to tell me these kind of things earlier Soph!!!!" she screams. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you up. You look like you need the sleep," I point at her eyebags. She throws a pillow at my face.

"So, what did you talk about??? Please I need to know whether or not I will meet Jan tonight, because my outfit depends on it," she begs me.

"He was really drunk so it was just some random sarcastic flirting, and yes, I can almost promise you that you will meet Jan tonight," I roll my eyes and smile. "Ooooooooh, oh my god, I can't believe you," Alayna laughs and punches me in the arm. "I'll show you everything when my phone is charged," I say.

For about half an hour me and my sister watch 10 things I hate about you on the TV. Ever since she and her boyfriend broke up, Alayna has been watching this movie on repeat.

Eventually I get too curious to wait any longer so I grab my phone and turn it on. Alayna is looking at it over my shoulder. I put in my code and very soon the notifications start to come in.

I realise that I completely forgot to respond to Lia last night, so a lot of messages are from her.


Lia: any updates?

Lia: did you die??? HELloooooooo

Lia: omg you did die

Lia: wait- you fell asleep didn't you

Lia: GIRL how can you fall asleep while talking to him? AND ME???

Lia: okay I will give up. But I need an explanation in the morning 😡


All of the messages are at least 5 minutes apart, the last one was sent at 5:24AM. I swear this girl never sleeps.


Me: I'm sorryyy 😭 I will send you the screens soon


I'm a little hesitant, but after a while I decide to open my insta, and I find out that a LOT of stuff has happened since I last checked it. And I mean, A LOT.

First of all, I went to my follow requests...

New follow request: @ bojan_cvjetcanin

New follow request: @ juremacek

New follow request: @ nace_jordan

New follow request: @ janpeteh


There were a couple more people who had requested to follow me, but I didn't recognise them, so I just left those for now. With my heart beating in my throat, I accepted the boys to my account.

"Oh my god, you are the luckiest girl in the whole wide world, you do know what this means right?" Alayna says. "What??" she slaps her forehead. "You haven't even met Jan and Jure yet, but they also sent you a follow request. So that means that Kris must have talked about you last night,"

I think about it for a second, and realise that she's right. I check the guys' stories and I find lots of crazy videos in the club from last night.

Kris had also sent me a new message this morning..


@ krisgusti: hey, good morning, just a quick apology for all the weird shit I said last night 😅 I was really wasted.. I am still looking forward to seeing you again though


I smile at it, and show Alayna the rest of the messages. "I recognise that club they're at!" she points at the background of the picture that Kris sent to me. "It's literally around the corner," she gasps.

"Yes, I know, so is their hotel and the venue for tonight," it's true, we can literally see the venue and the rest of that street through a small window in our attic, because our house is very high.


@ sophiamullerr: it's totally fine! And yes, me too :) can't wait to see you all perform tonight

@ sophiamullerr: did you all have fun last night?



I put my phone down and let it all sink in. "What time do you want to get ready?" Alayna asks me. "If we want to be first, we should probably start in about an hour, so that we can get there a while before it starts," I respond. I really want to be in the front at the concert. I feel like I physically need to be that close to them again.. Another DM comes in.


@ krisgusti: yes we had a great time! You are in charge of picking a club for the after party tonight, so I'm looking forward to seeing where you'll take us :)



I show this to Alayna, she immediately starts screaming about meeting Jan and listing great clubs near us. She has way more experience with these kind of things than me, even though I'm older.


@ sophiamullerr: can't wait! We'll see you guys soon :)



I send Lia the screenshots of all our messages. Soon after, me and Alayna start getting ready for the big night...
