𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 - 𝐣𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 !

today is a special day! I finally get to meet up and move in with my high school best friend! I couldn't be more excited.

we have been in contact for a while, ever since she moved to LA. I've missed tara a lot.

now that I'm noticing that my flight is taking off soon, I start to feel a little jittery. I get extremely anxious with simple things like this. I can do it. I need to see tara.

as you probably know, tara yummy is a pretty popular influencer. I am insanely proud of her for it too. she throws so many parties, like when we were still in school, with her friends. it looks like she's made a lot, and that's another reason why I'm nervous to go.

what if they don't like me ?

I'm pretty average, and all her friends seem so unique and cool. I'm just basic, which isn't even a bad thing. leggings, sweats, nike socks, you name it. that's me. hopefully I'm good enough for them. I want to make a good impression!

I shove those thoughts into the depth of my mind once I hear an announcement come through the speakers of the plane I'm sitting in. oh god.

"may I have your attention! welcome! we will be taking off shortly. please buckle your seatbelts, there will be snacks and drinks brought out soon."

oh fuck. think positive. tara and her roommates will be waiting for me after the flight. I need to think about that. she's mentioned that she has two roommates, which isn't that bad. my social anxiety can handle it.

soon, I feel the plane start to move, picking up speed every few seconds. my hands grip to the seat and I squeeze my eyes shut.

once the plane has taken off, I'm brave enough to finally open my eyes and get situated. at least I'm wearing a comfortable outfit. some black nike sweats and a matching sweatshirt, but in a cute pastel purple color. I'm also wearing some converse and nike socks. pretty comfy if you'd ask me to be honest.

the flight only lasts about 3 hours, which wasn't that bad. my anxiety calmed down after a bit. surprisingly, nobody was sitting in my row, so I didn't have to worry about any social anxiety. thank god.

since we're about to land, I pull out my phone and look at myself through my camera to make sure I look at least a little presentable too see tara and her roommates.

I have my everyday makeup on, but I feel like I'm missing something. I pull out an eyeliner stick from my bag and add a little wing to my look. there we go. my hair looks fine, it's down and straightened. I luckily had time to get ready since my flight didn't leave that early.

the plane landing is less scary than taking off, it just gets me more relieved that we're about to be back on the ground.

when we've finally landed, I grab all of my stuff, double check that I have everything, and head out of the plane.

now I'm getting anxious. this place is so big, with so many people. I need to see where tara is meeting me. fuck. her roommates are here too. I hope it goes well.

I pull out my phone to call her and I dial the number. as I call her, I can hear a loud ringtone going off from behind me. I whip my head around immediately.

"TARA??!! OH MY FUCK!!" I scream as I charge into my best friend. we both almost tumble backwards with all of the force. she gives me a bright smile, and a kiss on the forehead. she looks great!

"I missed you so much y/n! I cant believe we can finally live together I'm so fucking excited!"

"me too! I've missed you too damn much girl we got so much shit to talk about," I giggle in excitement.

I look beside her and see two boys. were these her roomates? one is tall, wearing a cut up tank top and some pajama pants. okay this dude is so relatable. the other, is totally different. he's wearing a few chains, black teased hair over one of his eyes. he's wearing skinny jeans.

his icy blue eyes stare into mine as I take in the people around me. I cant help myself but stare back. why is he so mesmerizing?

"are y'all gonna keep staring at each other or are you gonna introduce yourselves?" tara asks, standing there awkwardly.

"I'm johnnie! It's nice to finally meet you y/n, I've heard a lot of cool things about you from tara," he says in a quiet but calming tone.

I go in to shake his hand, but he pulls me in instead. what the fuck. he wraps his arms around me in a tight hug, only for a few seconds before he shoots me a small smile. oh?

"I'm Jake! I'm actually the coolest one here, so I wouldn't talk to them if I were you. they're so boring!" he strikes a pose, and giggles. I think I'm going to like it here. we also embrace each other in a hug.

"as you may know, I'm y/n! I'm actually so excited to meet you guys! I can already tell we're about to have so much fun y'all don't even know," I say clapping my hands together.

"alright alright, we should probably get out of here now. this place is way too damn crowded. let's go out to the car, it's getting kinda dark," tara says, leading her 'little children' out the airport exit.

as we're walking outside to her car, I instantly become grateful that I wore sweats. we are in california, but I figured it could get a little chilly when it gets dark. so glad I was right.

johnnie notices that I'm shivering a bit and steps closer to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"I don't have anything to keep you warm, so I guess this will have to do," he giggles, smiling at me.

"thanks johnnie, I can already tell all of us are going to be really close," I state, as we walk closer to the car.

jake and tara give each other a look that we both don't notice, as we all get into the car. this is going to be a great fresh start. I already know it.
