So how's Stars Hallow so far? Thalia asks Riley "Oh it's amazing, very different from England though it's good, I do miss England." Thalia smiles sadly and asks "Who did you live with in England?" "Oh, I lived with my aunt and uncle as well as my cousins Emily and George, I miss them." She says as they pull up to the beach. "Oh yeah, I remember Rohan mentioning them a few times, they are twins your guys' age right?" "Yes they are and we get along amazingly."
They get out of the car, grab all their stuff, head over to some trees lay out their towels, and lie down continuing to talk. "So why are you talking about Rohan so much? I'm sorry if I'm being nosy, I'm just wondering and I won't tell him, sorry I'm rambling a lot, I'm just shy sometimes." Riley asks. Thalia closes her eyes and thinks for a few minutes. "Um this is maybe kinda weird, I don't know if Ro ever told you anything..... but I was his girlfriend from grade 9 till the last day of school this year, and he broke up with me and now we avoid each other cause it's super awkward." Riley gasps and goes over to hug Thalia. "I will talk to that stupid twin brother of mine!!! He's a total idiot for breaking up with one of the most amazing person on earth!!!" "Oh it's fine, I don't need to make it worse, seriously it's fine I swear."
At that moment Riley looks over at the parking lot and grones. "Let's go, now!!! No questions." They quickly pick up their stuff and head far from the parking lot. "What did you see?" Riley looks into Thalia's eyes and says. "My family's van, the one that Rohan mostly uses. He was getting out of the front seat, with Ryan next to him and I think I saw Cole and Will in the backseat." Thalia groans "Your kidding right?" Riley sighs once again. "I honestly wish I was but I'm not." Thalia sighs, "Why does he always show up at the worst times?"
They lie down and sun-tan for around half an hour or so, just talking about life, until Ryan runs up to them. "Rohan loves Joy!" He yells and runs away. "God he's a 5 year old sometimes, you lucky you didn't have to hang out with him and his idiotic friends for the last 9 years." Thalia says and they both laugh, then look over at where Ryan ran to find Rohan and Cole tacking him while Will just stands there watching, like what the heck is going on? Riley looks over at the boys then at Thalia and bursts out laughing. "Their total idiots." She says trying to stop laughing with no success. "Though no kidding," Thalia says, "I wonder if Ryan's joking, cause that would really mess up Rohan and Cole's friendship." Riley looks into Thalia's eyes and says. "Don't tell anyone, but Will seirously cute." Thalia looks at Riley with a look of shock on her face. "Yeah he's ok, don't tell anyone but I kinda maybe sorta like Ryan Omeis." Riley's mouth drops open. "Your kidding." Thalia smiles, "I wish, kidding aside he is pretty cute." Riley smiles, "I have an idea, I'm not sure if you'll like it but we're gonna play Kiss, Marry, Kill or Truth and Dare with the boys." Thalia recoiles and hides behind Riley. "Um thanks for the offer but I'm good." Riley smiles kindly. "It's the perfect time though, cause non of your friends are here to make fun of you, plus Rohan won't make it weird if I'm here, you can't avoid him forever, plus I thought you guys were friends, like you and the boys, so come on let's go." She says with excitement and grabs Thalia's arm. "Ugh I guess I'll go, don't think I'm happy though."
The girls walk over to the boys and find Ryan, Rohan, Cole Will as well as Lucass and George, but that's no suprise. "Hey Ri, whatcha doing?" Rohan says looking up from where he's lying down totally ignoring Thalia. "I'm wondering if you guys wanna play T and D or Kiss, Marry Kill? The real question though is what the heck are you guys doing?" Riley glares at Rohan then at Ryan then contiunes "Ryan over here ran up to us around 10 minuets ago saying that you like Joy?" She glares at Rohan once more."Well..." Rohan says looking at Thalia, "I'm not sure.... do I like Joy?" Riley and Thalia look at each other and shrug. "Whatever, do you guys wanna play T and D and KMK or not?" The boys all look at each other and shrug.
"Yeah we will, wanna invite the rest of the group?" Rohan responds, looking at Riley, who looks at Thalia who shrugs, "Sure, I'll text them." Thalia says, avoiding Rohan's gaze, she then goes to get her phone from her bag, which has the TTPD case that Riley got her the other day and opens the group chat between the girls in her friend group. "Yo I'm at Sarsons with Riley, and Rohan, Ryan, Cole, Lucass, Will and George, anyone wanna come play T & D and KMK with us?" Brookie, Jovie, Katie, Autumn, Valeriia, Hayat and Sylvie respond immeditly. Jovie- "Yeah I'll come, see you in 10!" Brookie- "I'll go, want me to bring Marquez?, I'm with him anyways." Thalia- "Yeah sure bring him Brooks." Sylvie- "Coming now! I'm bringing Nick." Valeriia- "I'm at soccer." Hayat- "Wish I could, at basketball right now, go crazy for me tho." Katie- "I'm already on my way, I was coming anyways." Autumn- " I can't come sorry, I wish but I'm in LA. Have fun!" Thalia- "Sylv that's fine and Joy I need to talk to you before you see the boys, it's either out biggest problem ever or...... I don't even know what." Jovie- "What happened this time? Let me guess Cole right?" Thalia- Actully for once it's not Cole lol, I'll tell you when you arrive."
