As the days grew longer I began to bore myself.
My hobbies weren't passing time anymore so I lay doom scrolling on instagram.

Cameron is finding comfort in the team without needed me by her side. Maybe I should have never encouraged her to go for this, and as the year goes on I will only see less and less of her.

Scrolling, Scrolling, scrolling. I groan throwing my phone to the opposite side of the couch. I need something to do.

The remote by my side is calling my name telling me it could be a better source of entertainment. So I turn on Friends trying to get comfortable.

I feel the vibration of my phone and quickly grab it.

There is a text from Cameron.

Ronii🧀

Lina🩰

Ronii 🧀

Lina🩰
Are you sure they would
want me there?

Ronii🧀
Girl shut up and get over here.
I will send you directions.

Lina🩰
Okay okay I'm omw !

Thank god Cameron is still thinking about me.

I get a little bit more ready rushing out of our apartment to the car. Before pulling up directions I put in my Sade CD immediately vibing to the sound of "Smooth Operator."

When I walk inside the restaurant I immediately realize I never asked Cameron where she was sitting.

Standing at the entrance I try to get a look around for her table.

"Evelina?"

The sound of my name makes me turn.

"Oh, hi Paige."

"Are you here for Cameron?"

"I-uh-yes."

"Let me show you to the table."

I let the slightly taller blonde take the lead as I follow her through this maze of a restaurant.

When Cameron sees me she gets up from her seat giving me a hug.

Before I can sit down I'm introduced to the team.
As I lay eyes on each of them, they either give a small wave or head nod and I reciprocate.

I'm sitting next to Cameron across from Nika and Paige.

After everyone's orders are taken a voice from in front of me starts to speak.

"So Cameron and Evelina, are you two from around here?"

"Yes and no."

Cameron's response received puzzling looks from some of the team.

"Well I grew up here in Connecticut but when I was in middle school I moved to New York. That's actually how I met Eve."

After she is done talking the gazes of everyone are on me now.

"Oh-uh, I was born in Italy but I have lived in New York for most of my life."

"That's so cool. what's Italy like?" Aaliyah asks.

"Well depending on which parts you go to it can be very beautiful. So what about you guys?"

I ask trying to get the attention off of me.

"I'm from Croatia." Nika says.

"That's so cool." I respond wishing I could stop everything just to hear about what Croatia is like.

"I'm from Minnesota." Paige interjected

"Canada"

"Virginia"

Aaliyah and Azzi chime in almost at the same time.

"I'm also from New York." Aubrey adds.

Note to self: bond with Aubrey about New York later.

The rest of the team say where they are from and we all talk about our home life until the food gets to the table.

There is a moment of silence as we all chow down on our food.

When everyone is stuffed full me and Cameron both decide we are going to head home saying goodbye to the team.

That night as I'm sitting on the couch watching some random horror movie with Cameron, I feel the vibrations of my phone telling me I have notifications from instagram.
