Highland Private Jet

Y/n's POV

As I sat on the jet flying to Florida, I couldn't believe I was really going to meet Ariana's parents. I pinched the bridge of my nose. So dumb, Mac, I told myself. Not only will Ariana's family be there, but some of her friends and her boyfriend too. I don't know the guy, but the vibe I got from him that night at the basketball game wasn't a good one. It doesn't help that Ariana and I almost kissed the other day standing by her car. I don't know if I would have pulled away either. There's this pull she has towards me, almost like gravity.

Since the night she texted me asking me to come, we've been texting each other every day, all day. We text about everything, and she sends me all these reels from Instagram. No matter what, we always make sure to say good morning and good night to each other, even if our days are hectic. Speaking of which, she's texted me at least every hour today asking if I've left yet.

Maddox and Courtney have been hanging out almost every day since he asked her out, and I guess they're dating now. Maddox has always had a big heart and wears his feelings on his sleeve. He flew down yesterday and wanted me to come, but I just didn't feel comfortable with that, so I made up an excuse.

I checked my phone and saw another text from Ariana:

Ariana: Have you left yet? 😅

Me: Yep, I'm on the jet right now. Should be there soon.

Ariana: Yay! Can't wait to see you. Safe travels! ✈️❤️

I smiled at her text. Despite the complicated feelings and the looming presence of her boyfriend, I was looking forward to seeing her. There was something about Ariana that just made me feel at ease and excited at the same time.

I leaned back in my seat, trying to relax and prepare myself for the evening ahead. Meeting her family and friends was a big deal, and I wanted to make a good impression. Plus, I needed to keep my emotions in check and remember why I was there—to support a friend.

I had no idea what I was walking into when I arrived, but Maddox had been texting me since he got there. He said he overheard Ariana, Courtney, and Ariana's mom talking, and my name came up several times. He couldn't hear much but noticed a lot of giggles and that Ariana's face was red. Then, this morning, he texted me that Ariana's boyfriend arrived and that he's lame. I laughed at that message, especially when Maddox added that Ethan was trying to talk to him and be buddy-buddy. The last text I received from Maddox was, "Please hurry." I just laughed. Before landing, I checked the weather for Florida and saw it was warmer than I expected. So, I got up, went to the back room, and decided to change into some shorts instead.
