Carrington

29

The next morning we all wake up around the same time of each other.

"I'm hungry." Jake says while scrolling on his phone.

"Shit me too honestly, and I don't even eat breakfast." Johnnie agreed as he was sprawled out on he couch leaving me on the ground when I got up to pee.

"Do you want on the bed?" Carrington asks me laughing at the fact I'm curled up in a ball on the floor.

"I think I'm okay, I'm actually really comfortable." I look up at him as he takes a picture of me. "STOPP!" I complain covering my face.

"Oh come here." he grabs me by my arm and drags me over. I give in and climb next to him on the bed.

*ding*

"Ooooh who got a text." Jake says in a squid ward voice.

"Probably me." I open my phone and see a text from Vinnie.

Vinnie

Hey just wondering when you are back from Nevada and gonna come visit me.

"Why is Vinnie hacked texting you?" Carrington asks taking my phone. Before I get it out of his hand he read the text. His smile drops and he scrolls up reading the texts from before.

"He's been trying to talk to me since the party." I shrug wanting to forget that day.

"Ooo do you think he's cute?" Johnnie channels his inner Tara.

"Why did you sound like me?" Tara laughs at him looking up from the bed making the rest of us laugh. "But actually what he said."

"I mean he's cute but don't seem to have much personality." I shrug rereading the text.

"What do you mean by that?" Carrington asks and I shrug.

"Like when talking to him it just feels like I'm talking to people from work like it's not entertaining." I explain while trying to think of what to text back.

"It would do good for your social media career?" Johnnie interjects.

"I don't really care for that to be honest. Like I don't want to be known for social media, my top priority is modeling." I explain leaning my head onto Carringtons shoulder but he slightly pulls away. Not enough I raise any concerns but enough to mentally note.

"Carrington started that way too." Jake says unironically without missing a beat.

"Now I make music." He laughs finally speaking again.

"Now it's 6 pm and my heart racing, I've been start gazing, I'm a star baby, breaking hearts lately, breaking hearts baby." I burst out in song jokingly and Carrington just laughs proudly as Jake and Johnnie join in too. "Star baby, fall apart lately, it's been hard lately-"

"How do you know the lyrics so well?" Carrington laughs at me and I shrug.

"You sing it all the time," Tara makes fun of him, "everyone does."

"It's used for a lot of fan edits." Johnnie said and we all look at him with a questionable look, "I reacted to some."

"You're not fucking real." I laugh making the others laugh.

"What are you gonna say to Vinnie?" Carrington asks and I shrug. "You should say you're busy or some shit."

"Well I'm going to shoot for dior soon." I bite my lip. "I should get high before I have to stop for the shoot."

"Hey let me join you." Carrington says like a child.

"Really?" I laugh.

"Hey what was the dating show about?" Tara interrupted like she knows something.

"Oh it was fun really awkward I need to stop doing shit like that." He says picking at his nails.

"Did you get a date?" I ask unknowingly.

"Well the girl did ask for a second- er a real date." He avoided eye contact.

"That's great maybe you will find a girlfriend in her." Jake says without skipping a beat.

"He will find himself in her alright." Johnnie laughs without thinking about the past.

"Johnnie!" Tara whisper yelled wacking him with a pillow.

"Guys really it's fine no it's great he's opening his horizon." I smile at Carrington but he still avoids my eyes. "Is she cute?"

"Not as cute as Jake." He says quick thinking winking at him.

"Awww my gay boys." Johnnie jokes.

"You guys are so funny." Tara laughs.

"So are you gonna answer Vinnie?" Carrington asks and I just smile.

"Are you gonna go on a date with that girl?" I throw that back out and it gags everyone.

"Okay!" Tara claps her hands. "Let's clean this up."
