friday night. estelle's friends had convinced her to go out to a frat party with them. so they were currently all sat in the dorm, getting ready, listening to music and having a couple drinks as they got hyped up for the night out.

estelle was sat there, a disposable cup filled with vodka and lemonade in her hands as she subtly passing between the two hands and fiddling with as she wasn't a big drinker but wanted to fit in.

"so.. essie, can we talk about our trip coming up?" florence teased the girl beside her.

"are you going to see that boy?" courtney quickly flicked her head over her shoulder to the girl, watching her slowly nod. "oh my god! when?"

"three weeks," she answered with a wide smile which she hide behind the cup she had now pulled up to her mouth.

"yess!" hallie cheered. "are you going too flo?"

"yeah, dyl and i are going just to make sure this guy's safe for essie to be around, you know.. but other than that we'll go do our own thing."

"good idea," she agreed.

"should i be telling him i've.. haven't.. done much.. with guys?" estelle awkwardly asked.

"it's up to you really.." florence replied.

"aren't some guys like.. weird about all that?" courtney chimed in.

"but like you've gotten with guys, haven't you?" hallie somewhat furrowed as she looked over at the youngest.

"i- i mean.. yeah.. but like no- i've like.. never.. stayed with a guy.. though," she answered, hesitantly choosing her words.

"it's not that big of deal really," she brushed it off. "don't stress too much about all that. if you want to tell him, sure, but he doesn't need to know."

"wait, essie, have you ever even hooked up with anyone?" courtney quickly spoke up again.

she reluctantly and subtly shook her head.

"okay, well maybe that is a bit more of a deal then just sleeping over.." hallie replied.

"but like, i still don't think he's owed to know that.." florence mentioned. "of course like if you want to tell him, you can, and if you'd feel more comfortable with him knowing, do it, but court's right.. some guys do get weird about that stuff- but also he is like that, that says a lot.."

"what do you mean by that..?"

"i don't know.. guys that care about that shit, or like body count are usually shitty people," she explained. "like they want you to be experienced but too experienced otherwise you're a slut. but if you're a virgin 'that's weird'- when really they the weird ones cause if you truely liked someone you wouldn't care about that."

"she's got a point," hallie agreed.

"he admitted to me last night that he's gotten with other girls sexually, while we've been talking.." the younger mentioned.

"and what made him admit that?"

"i asked.."

"what and he just said it straight up?" she furrowed as she started packing her makeup away.

"yeah," estelle softly nodded. "he said that he got with one girl a couple days in but i had message him just before so he couldn't stop thinking about replying to me.. and then he said he got with another girl to.. convince? himself that he was only thinking about me during it beside of that text?" she explained slightly confused herself. "but he couldn't stop thinking about me then either.."

"that's kinda.. cute, i guess," hallie replied with a small chuckled. "that's such a weird thing to say."

"i mean, at least he was being honest," florence shrugged.

"something in me feels like he only said it because he knew i've already planned the trip there.." she sighed. "and i just feel like he's gonna want to pressure me into doing stuff cause 'i'm only there for the weekend' and.. 'i don't know when you're going to visit next'.. you know..?"

"well.. i mean.. if he wants to pressure you into anything sexual.. you could always tear down his career cause you have proof of talking to him," hallie more so suggested. "and just make sure to get a couple pics with him for, you know, 'so my friends know i'm safe' reasons and you got something to hold against him."

"but-"

"ess, i know you're not that type of person cause everyone makes mistakes but in the case of forcing you into something you don't want to do, you should do something, because simply, it's wrong."

"and that's coming from the future lawyer," courtney chimed. "she knows her shit."

"i mean really if nothing happens you can't get him for anything but if he's trying to force you into anything you can still expose him for being a shitty person cause people like that don't deserve platforms."

"mh.. okay.."

"has he been texting you today?" courtney somewhat switched the topic, watching the girl quickly nod. "that's a good sign at least."

"and if you do just have the one weekend with him, at least he's a hot guy," hallie commented, watching the girl somewhat awkwardly take a sip from her cup. "sorta makes up for it, you know."

"but let's all manifest it lasts longer than that cause that's what we all deserve," florence added. "we all deserve a relationship that we dream of."

"true," the two both quickly agreed.

"anyway, let's just focus on having fun tonight!" she explained as she turned the subject away from the girl who was visibly slightly awkward from the whole topic.
