boba brawl

"where do you want to go to first?" walkers swinging our hands back and forth as we walk through a shopping outlet looking for a souvenir that i can take home. another thing we have started doing recently, holding hands so cringe but it feels nice. we are trying to spend as much time together before everyone else flies in in a couple days and filming starts.

"can we go to the same shop you bought my snow globe from?? i NEED to find something at least similar" he rolls his eyes, amused with my exaggeration and guides me to the store. the person at the cashier greets us and we take a look around at the different trinkets and knickknacks. there are all kinds of glass chinas, old jewellery, small dolls that are actually kinda scary and we reach the snow globe shelf. theres these snow globes with a similar angel baby inside but it has the name jessica, sarah, peter, noah and whatever basic name you could think of

i sigh in defeat "bro i only know one other person who has my name they arent gonna have it" walker and i keep picking up each globe, turning and setting them down to check for my name on it, each time getting more and more disappointed. "we've checked them all. im sorry we couldnt find it" he puts his hand up for me to take and i give him a pathetic half high five before interlocking our fingers again

"its ok maybe it wasnt meant to be" we make way for the door and end up looking around other shops. walker ends up getting a guitar pick for himself and i leave snow globeless

┄┄┄┄

its the day before filming FINALLY which also so happens to be our reunion dinner with everyone. im so excited to see my friends again, especially liv and andrew since they don't live in california like the rest of us. and i cant forget about uncle rick.

even though i wasnt exactly in the first season of pjo, everyone was so welcoming and i never felt left out. itll be the real thing now that ill be on set with everyone else.

walker has a meeting with his manager and some other important actor people so i wont see him till dinner. which means its staying home and binge watching julie and the phantoms again while eating ice cream for me (go watch jatp if u haven't literally so good). obviously im not as good as navigating my way around the city and i don't feel like going out without aryan or walker.

after crying to unsaid emily, i decide that i need to stop being miserable and go explore. i quickly change into jorts and a crop top before leaving the house. i decide to walk around the boardwalk some more, just to see what else they have. theres a boba shop that looks decent enough to try, even though i dont know how good boba in canada could be but we'll see.

i order my strawberry matcha and wait for them to call my name. in my peripheral, i see a boy with brown hair and brown eyes staring at me. im too afraid to look so i side eye quickly. he looks kind of familiar.. and OH MY GOD ITS THE BOY I RAN INTO AT THE AIRPORT. is it hot im here? why is he staring wtf pls don't recognize me and also are they almost done with my drink i need to go NEOWWW.

"junia, your orders ready!" i grab my drink and give a quick thank you before speed walking towards the door. but before i make my way home, i feel a hand on my shoulder right outside the shop

"excuse me sorry to bother you its just-i-have we met? you just look so familiar?" his hand leaves my shoulder and there is a sudden coldness from where he touched me to which i shiver to. damn me and my stubbornness to ruin an outfit with a jacket.

"um im not from here, so im sure you dont know me"
"im not from here either!" an awkward laugh comes out of me unnaturally loud.

"what??? what a crazy coincidence" if i play dumb maybe hell go away.

"yea i think we were on the same flight. i think we bumped into each other?" ok universe so just fuck me then "sorry about that again, im malcolm" idk why hes apologizing..i was the one who bumped into him but your forgiven i guess.

"im junia nice to meet you, and its ok i completely forgot about you haha" immediately his face dropped and i knew i said something wrong. oops didnt mean to be so blunt "i mean, what im trying to say is-"

he cuts me off "its ok im just joking, i know what you mean" he laughs and i just kinda awkwardly stand there smiling, waiting for the embarrassment to be over. "well anyways i gotta get going" no i dont

"oh darn leaving so soon?"

"yea my parents are waiting for me" no they arent

"oh, well could i get your number or something? maybe we could hang out" he begs

"i actually have a boyfriend" its weird to say that this is the only lie that didnt feel like a lie. even though its the farthest from true

"just as friends then??" at this point i just wanna go home so i give him my instagram out of pity and leave. i feel bad, but its not technically wrong if walker and i arent together right? and malcolm said it was just as friends sooooo

i go walk home and im halfway through my drink. shits not as bad as i thought. there is still time before the dinner so im gonna take a nap. i check my phone to see if walker has texted, but theres nothing
