The Boys Next Door

F-r-i-e-n-d-s

Still in the apartment, the boys look at each other then back at Jacqui. "How did you-" Dan said. "Simple, I've seen your 'Day in the life with Dan and Phil' videos. It's something you seem to do in almost every single one of them." Jacqui interrupted, and stood up.

"Okay, okay, enough talking, more walking! I want food!" Sophia says, getting up and walking to the door. "If you don't hurry up, I'll leave without you."

"Alright," Jacqui said grabbing her wallet. Dan and Phil stood up and headed for the door Sophia was standing in. They started walking to the lift which then lead them out of the building and into the wilderness.

They walk in comfortable silence to Starbucks. Then they go in to order their drinks. Sophia, Dan and Phil got an Iced Caramel Macchiato, Sophia got a brownie as well. Whilst Jacqui got an Iced Chai Tea Latte. They sat down on the couch, similar to what the actors did in the T.V. show "Friends". Only in this case; Dan was Chandler, Phil was Ross, Jacqui was Rachel, and Sophia was Monica.

"So, how are you guys doing with the move?" Phil asked playing on his phone.

"It's been really good so far. I think." Jacqui says kind of drifting off towards someone who caught her eye.

"I didn't think it would be that great. I'm not exactly a city person." Sophia said feeling a little bit out of place.

"I had you come with me because I needed to make sure you weren't going anorexic on me again, and had to force feed you." Jacqui said looking Sophia dead in the eye.

"At least you're looking out for a friend." Dan said after looking up from texting someone.

"Yeah, but in the state I was, I didn't exactly want to be looked out for..." Sophia says, a little sadly. "I thought it was the only way to get skinny, because in my head, skinny equaled pretty, but only when it came to myself. I would sit in front of a mirror and point out all of my flaws. I learned to hate myself so much. But I'm okay now."

No one knew really how to respond to this, so they sat in silence until they finished their coffees. When they all had finished and left, the silence had become unbearable. Sophia was the first to break it.

"You know what?" She says. "I want to dye my hair. Do you know where I could get that done?" She asks Dan and Phil.

"Yeah, we can go to where we get our haircut." Phil says looking at Sophia, as he walked pass a biker who came flying on the pavement.

"I can't wait! Jacqui, are you wanting to get anything done? I'm getting blue highlights." Sophia says turning to her.

"I kind of want purple or red highlights. That'd be amazing!" She says walking along side Dan who followed Phil close behind.

They walk for two more blocks not saying a word until Phil starts out by saying in a singy-song voice, "Here we are." And pointed at the building.

"Yes! I'm so excited for this!" Sophia exclaims as they walk in the door.

"Do you do this often, dyeing your hair on a whim?" Dan asks.

"Sometimes. Normally I have a general idea of when I'm getting it done, but sometimes I like to just do it." Sophia responds.

Sophia and Jacqui walk up to the desk while Dan and Phil go to the side of the room and take seats to wait. They start on a conversation.

"So, this is really exciting." Phil says sitting down beside Dan.

"It is, we barely had to leave the house to make friends!" Dan exclaims excitingly.

Phil pulls out his phone and starts playing Crossy Road. A few minutes later, Dan starts, "Is it bad I kind of worry about Sophia?"

Phil sits his phone down, "I kind of do to. Have you seen how skinny she is, she could brake."

"How did Jacqui do it?" Dan says looking the direction of the girls. "And to move from the states and end up here? Seems like it took a lot of courage." Then looked back at Phil.

"I couldn't imagine flying so far, I mean, they're so young... Come to think of it we don't even know how old they are." Phil said with a sheer amount of worry.

"That's a good question to ask after they get done. They can't be that young, they seem to be, from my perspective, maybe in there 20s." Dan says leaning into the conversation.

"That would make sense." Phil said.

~Almost an hour of playing IPhone games later~

Sophia walks over to the two guys sitting on their phones, "What do you think?" She flipped her hair over her shoulder and sat down beside Phil.

"I like it. It goes REALLY well with the blonde." Phil says petting and brushing through her hair with his fingers.

"It reminds me of the 'Punk Edits in real life' video we did a few years ago. Where's Jacqui?" Dan says to Sophia.

"She's getting her hair dyed now, she wanted it cut first. She's thinking of donating." Sophia tells Dan as she got out her phone.

~A few minutes later~

Jacqui walks into the waiting room, her hair that once was down to her lower back, was now cut at her shoulders with a fringe and had both red and purple highlights. "What do you think?" This hair-cut and highlights made her brown curly hair look soft and hobbit like, but beautiful nonetheless.

"I like it!" Dan and Phil say at the same time.

"Now, I truly think YOU TWO are the same person." Jacqui said as they all got up to leave.
