Alana

It's almost 5pm and I'm on my way to pick up Ramona and Tatiana for the pool party at Hype House. Thomas has basically invited all of LA so I bet there's room for 2 more girls. I quickly texted Ramona that I'm at their Hotel and seconds later both of them run towards my car.

"Hey Bitch!" Mona takes shotgun while Tati sits in the back with their bags of extra clothes. "So what's the plan?" Tati asks scrolling through her phone. "Well we're having a pool party which will go on for god knows how long so yea." Tati grins twirling her hair lost in thought. "So I might find hot guys there." She says to herself then squeals.

"Okay then. I'm just ready to get drunk of my ass and have phone sex with Lia." Mona winks at me. "TMI babe TMI." I pretend of gag.

Lia aka Alia has been Mona's girlfriend since god knows how long. They were the high school sweethearts. Prom queen and queen much to Tati's dismay. They're the cutest couple I've seen yet.

"Okay then let's talk about you. Any guys I need to fuck up?" She raises her eyebrows at me indicating who she's talking about. "Nope. No guys for me."

She gives me look that says she isn't buying it.

"What about Vinnie?" Tati practically yells. My eyes widen in shock. "What about him?" I ask risking a glance at her from the rear view mirror. "We'd look hot together right?" She looks at both of us.

"Is he even your type?" Mona asks. "You usually go for the brainless bastards." She deadpans. I almost snort but stop myself from sound so.

"Well one he's hot. Two, he's famous so like I could totally get more followers on the gram." She twirled her hair again.

"Yep. Totally." I sigh. Sometimes I don't get why Tati wants to get famous by being dependent on others. "Alana, you're totally introducing me to him as his biggest fan tonight." She sighs dreamily. "Our kids would look so hot right?"

By the time Tati's done fantasising about her and Vinnie's future we reach the house where I can already see people in swim suits jumping into the pool.

"Guys look who's back. It's our girl!" Michael puts his arm around my neck and practically drags me to the party. "God how drunk are you?" I look back to see my fiends follow after me.

"He's totally wasted babe. I don't think anyone here is sober at this point." Kouvr sighs checking her phone. "And it's not even 7 fucking pm gosh." She spots someone trying to get into the house and rushes there to stop them.

"Guys I'll just change and be right back y'all enjoy get in the pool, have some drinks. Yea." I rush inside to get changed. I chose a plain black halter bikini and put on my slides.

While basically sprinting out of my room I crash into someone. My head collided with a very firm chest. A bare very sculpted chest. My eyes travel up to find hazel ones looking down at me.

"Woah there." He stables me holding my arms. "Why in such a rush?" He chuckles. I smile a bit shaking my head. "Um my friends are out there and u said I'll be back soon." He nods at my explanation.

Before I say something else I see a girl standing behind him dressed in fancy clothing ready to go out. "I had fun funny call me if you need me again." She winks at him.

"Uh clearly someone had fun last night." I nod towards the retreating figure of the girl and he shook his head. "It's not wh- it's not like that. Just a one time thing. I was frustrated after practice I haven't even given her my number."

"You don't owe me an explanation. Come one party's started." He smiles and puts an arm around my shoulder guiding me out.

"So how's the practice going?" He stiffens a bit but answers anyway. "It's going great. Coach has confidence that I'll definitely win but let's see." I hum. "That's nice. You've been working hard."
