Reconnecting

Bri wakes up and automatically goes to the swing and lays down.

After a while Mateo joins her. He sits down beside her and puts her head on his thighs so she could be comfortable, "I figured you'll be out here."

"It's just not fair. They both deserved to find love," Bri says.

"And they will... maybe not in here but they will. They have their whole lives ahead of them."

Mateo starts playing with her hair, "I guess you're right. I can't be sad about it forever."

"I didn't say all that but yeah," Mateo says.

Bri laughs and gets up from his thighs, "My eyes are so puffy from crying last night and my hair is a mess I'll be right back."

"I think you look beautiful," Mateo says.

Bri grabs his head kisses him and goes inside the dressing room.

"How are you feeling Emani "

"I'm so sad but it's not the end of the world. If I don't find love in here and he doesn't find love from many of the DMs he's gotten which I know they're a lot, then we can still reconnect. I owe it to myself to find a good connection though."

"That's the spirit," Angie says. "I miss Sab."

"I do too," Sloane says.

"Do you guys think she's already on a flight back home?"

"Most likely."

Michael enters with the fluffiest pancakes for Emani, "These look so good. Thank you!"

"Of course," he smiles at her.

"Zac, I have a very important question," Kyrah says.

"Ask," Zac smiles at her.

"What's your favorite genre of music?"

"R & B," Zac answers.

Kyrah looks at him relieved, "Phew. I thought you were going to say country."

Zac laughs, "Kyrah look at me. Do I look like a country listener?"

Kyrah looks at him, "I don't know you could surprise me. What kind of artists do you like?"

"Giveon, Daniel Caesar, Frank Ocean," Zac replies.

"Oh. I haven't heard of them," Kyrah says.

Zac looks at her dumbfounded, "You're joking?!"

Kyrah doesn't answer, "I listen to Old Rock. You know... the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Billy Joel."

"I've heard of those groups and person, so I know you've also heard of the artists I said," Zac argues.

"I don't know if I've heard of them," Kyrah says.

"Maybe if I sing a couple of their popular songs," Zac says.

"Bri " Luis pulls her for a chat.

"Luis," she replies.

"Let's film a video to have de recuerdo."

"What video?"

"Have you seen those TikToks that say, 'I'm Mexican but I don't like...?'"

"Yes!"

"Let's do it then," Luis pulls out the phone. Good morning, everyone. 2/3 of Latino gang here. We're doing the 'We're Mexican but we don't like...' trend. You start."
