Kai

I woke up at 4 am. so I could pack my suitcase and carry-on for my flight at 11.

I had around 9 tops, 3 shorts, 3 pairs of bikinis, 2 jeans, my running shoes, boots, and then my Nike blazers.

I stared at my closet, figuring out if I needed anything else, and I figured I should bring one of the three tops I bought back in Croatia.

I looked through my clothes to find the specific top when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in," I say as I continue to look through my clothes.

"We wanted to say goodbye before you fly off and hang out with your girlfriend," I hear Azzi say as all the girls follow her into my room.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"Yes, she is," KK says as she sits on my desk.

I turn around and tilt my head at her.

"She's a girl, and she's your friend," she continues.

I scoff at her, and I can see most of the girls smile.

"Oh my God, just tell her you like her already!" Aubrey says as she walks up to my closet and fixes her hair in front of the mirror on my closet doors.

"No, she doesn't even like me."

I finally found my top and folded it into my suitcase.

"Girl?" Ice says as if she was taken back.

"She calls you pretty, compliments you in every instagram post that you have, and then offers for you to hang out with not only her, but also her family," Paige finally speaks up after being on her phone.

"I don't know, everyone can do all that, but not everyone who does will like me."

I grabbed my mini jewelry box and walked over to my desk where KK was.

She was in my way, so I slapped her thigh.

"Girl boo!" She says, hopping off of my desk as Jana laughs.

"I have no idea what's gonna happen within the next week."

As everyone continues to talk as I pick out my jewelry, makeup, skincare, and, of course, my cute lingerie.

When I turn around, holding my lingerie, all the girls say "oooh" and "okayy."

I try to hold back my smile as I feel my ears heat up.

"Bring a black set!" Azzi says as everyone turns to look at her.

"What?" She says as she looks at everyone.

"Black is so basic?" Ashlyn says as Paige, Azzi, Aubrey, and I laugh out loud.

"What?" Ashlyn looks at us who laughed.

"Black lingerie means you expect to get fucked," Paige explains as Ashyln and KK make a disgusted face.

After the flight | @ Iowa

As I'm walking out of the airport, I spotted kate, who was holding a poster that had my face printed on it.

As I do a little run towards her, she opens her arms to bring me into a hug as I gladly accept.

"How was the flight?" She asks.

"It was great, I flew first class."

"Oh yeah, I forgot you're rich enough for that."
