It's been 3 days since Paige had followed Sofia on Instagram, and Sofia has yet to mention it to Paige or even anyone. This must mean that it was okay, right? Maybe this was progress for her and Sofia.

"Hey, tonight the boys team is hosting a party and almost our whole team is going. If you're down, we should go," Nika stated out of the blue, turning to Sofia as they stood in the kitchen together. 

Sofia shrugged, still picking at the pasta in the bowl in front of her. She'd been sitting at this damn island for 25 minutes now and has failed to take more than 2 bites of it after she'd read the nutrition label on the box. "Sure that's fine with me, what time's it at?"

"I think like 7 but I'll ask Paige. She's the one who asked if the girls could come."

Sofia looked up at Nika through her lashes, her mouth agape. "Is Paige going?" Nika nodded. "Oh, uh-"

Nika immediately shook her head, "Nuh-uh, I don't care if you're trying to avoid Paige or whatever, just don't talk to her. You can't just not go to everything that she's also going to."

The other brunette sighed, "Yeah, I guess you are right about that. But promise you'll stay with me and won't just be around her the whole time?"

Nika smiled, "Course but I will still talk to her though, I'm not gonna ignore her."

"Yeah I'm cool with that, just... wake me up when you think I should start getting ready." With that, Sofia made her way into her room, leaving the bowl of now cold pasta on the table.

Sofia decided to take a nap so that she wouldn't have the sudden urge to just pass out during the party later. However that also meant that she should probably eat something first, but then that'd cause her to gain weight, so she opted to not do that either.

"Hey Fia," Nika knocked lightly at the girl's door. "I know you and how long you take to straighten your hair so I think you might wanna start getting ready now."

Sofia groaned, stretching her body out before getting out of bed, "Thanks Nika," she called, making her way to her closet to find a fitting outfit for the night. She decided on a plain white tank with her new black leather pants and a pair of sneakers. Putting the outfit aside, she made her way to the bathroom where Nika was also getting ready and began straightening her hair.

The 2 girls spent a majority of their time just laughing and telling stories from before this month when they were in highschool, all the way down to their most embarrassing moments. Like that one time where a boy made a huge, over-the-top homecoming invitation for Sofia and she had to remind him that she was gay in front of everyone. Let's just say that he didn't end up going to hoco, or school for the next week after that day. 

However through all of the exciting conversation with Nika, Sofia couldn't help but continue to stare at the notification on her phone:

+1 (927) 182-108-9038: hey r u coming to the boys party tn?

Oddly enough, Sofia was almost certain that though this number wasn't in her phone, it was probably Paige and Azzi had given her the number. She simply swipe left to discard of the notification. Maybe if she stopped staring at it then she would eventually forget about it.
