"That was a good practice guys, I'll see you all tomorrow." Grace said as we finish practice.

We're slowly getting the number together, which is good. As I gathered my stuff up, Rory and Chandler walked over to me.

"So, we're going to have dinner together and you can't say no." They invited me.

I was pretty hungry honestly. "Where are you guys going?" I question.

"We were thinking of Saddle Ranch. Everyone goes there." I've never heard of it, I just hope they have good food.

I tell them I'll meet them there. Over the past couple of weeks, I've really enjoyed getting to know Rory and Chandler.

They were hilarious knowing they're always fighting. I drove to Saddle Ranch and it looked pretty packed.

When I met back up with them, they said it was a fifteen minute wait which shouldn't be too long.

We just talked about dance and how we're excited for the first competition here in a couple weeks.

I was pretty nervous but I think everything is going to be okay. When they called our name, the three of us sat down.

We look at the menu and order our food. "So, how are you enjoying Los Angeles?" Chandler asked.

I really like Chandler's vibe. He's super chill and laid back. You can tell he loves what he does at the studio.

He pushes me to work harder though. "I'm slowly starting to get used to everything. The seasons still fuck me up though."

Back home in Australia, it would be winter. It's gonna take some getting used to.

"Wait, so like in December it's summer?" Rory asks as I nod my head.

Rory is very outgoing and hilarious. She's my age while Chandler is few years older than us.

Chandler has a baby face though so he doesn't look his age.

"Hannah?" I hear a familiar voice. I looked up to see it was Sam. Colby was walking ahead of him as Sam stayed back.

That made me think how Max is doing a girls night with Stas, Regan, and Kat. I couldn't go because of dance.

Plus, I don't know if I want to meet Kat just yet. I'm sure she's a nice person, I just don't think she'll like me.

"Sam! I didn't think you'd be here." I stood up so I could give him a quick hug.

It's been a few days since I've seen him. We've been texting a lot recently though.

"Yeah, Colby and I figured we'd go out." He had a huge ass grin on his face.

He stares at me for a moment. "I thought you had dance tonight?" I was surprised he remembered.

"I did, we finished not long ago and we figured we'd grab some food." I look down at Rory and Chandler.

Chandler looked confused while Rory was grinning from ear to ear. "This is Chandler and Rory by the way." Sam looks over at them.

"Guys, this is Sam. He's best friends with my cousin." I introduce them. Chandler smiled and shook his hand.

"I'm a really big fan, by the way." That surprised me when Rory said that. I didn't know she watched the boys.

"Thank you, that means a lot to me." Sam looked over at Colby causing me to look.

Colby was at the table waiting. He smiled and waved as we made eye contact.

"I better get back to Colby but enjoy your meal." I tell him bye as he walked away.

I watched him walk away as I sat down. I could see their table from where I'm sitting.

"You're friends with Sam Golbach?" Rory asked with shock on her voice.

I nodded as I sip on my coke. "Yeah, my cousin is dating his best friend. Do you watch them?" I ask her.

I can see her connecting the dots in her head. "Your cousin is Max Scott?" I laugh as I nod my head.

"Why are you acting like a weirdo?" Chandler asked his litter sister.

She sat back and looked at me. "I'm sorry, I watched them for years and I didn't know you were friends with them." She told me.

"They're really great guys. Maybe the next time they throw a party, you guys can come." I suggest.

They both agreed to come whenever the next party is going to happen. It'll probably be a Fourth of July party.

For some reason, I felt someone's stare on me so I looked around for it. My eyes landed on Sam, who was looking at me for some reason.

He quickly looked away from me so I didn't think anything else of it.

I did notice he did it a couple more times throughout the dinner with the siblings.

The food was really good so I can see the hype. When we finished, we paid for our food and walked out.

"Thanks for inviting me guys. We need to do that more." I really do enjoy hanging out with the pair.

"Stop hiding and we will." Chandler joked. We told each other goodbye as we made our separate ways.

I drive to the apartment and go inside when I get there. I sit down on the couch and turn on a random show.

As I sat there, I couldn't help but think about what the girls could be doing.

I want to go up there, I'm just nervous about meeting Kat. I kick myself for a few minutes and I tell myself how I need to man up.

I text Max to see if I could stop by for a few minutes. She said she would love to see me so I walked up to her apartment.

She told me I could walk right in, and so that's what I did. I could hear a bunch of laughter as I walked in.

Max looked at me and a big smile crept up on her face. "Finally, you show up." Everyone turned to look at me.

I went over to them and joined them on the couch. Kat was staring at me and it made me nervous.

"I thought you had dance." Stas told me while holding a glass of wine.

I nodded. "I just got back." I tell her. They asked if I was going to stay the night and I shook my head no.

"Why not, I've been dying to meet you!" Kat boasted. I felt my stomach drop knowing I've been worried to meet her.

I put a fake smile on my face though. "I just have classes to teach and stuff." I tell her how I teach hip hop classes.

"I bet you love that." I stayed here for a while and talked to them. Kat really did seem like a really nice person to talk to.

She was really sweet and funny. I did have to go back to my apartment though and I know they were upset about that.

I would've love to hang out more if I didn't have things to do. As I laid down for bed, my phone dinged.

I looked to see it was Sam. I was surprised but we end up texting throughout the night.

I can see myself becoming good friends with him.
