"say my name and everything just stops, i don't want you like a best friend." dress by taylor swift

WITH WALKER AND I going through a small friend breakup, that puts a stump in our friend group. Now, Sunny and I tend to hang out with each other more than with them. It's also complicated considering the cast is swept up with filming and cast interviews.

Leah, Aryan, and Walker have a cast interview today. Basically a meet and greet just with press asking a few questions first. Sunny suggested that we should go. I told her I would think about it and I have but I'm still on edge about it. I know Walker and I can't ignore each other forever. Especially cause we have always just been friends. It's not like we're going through a huge break up. Besides, if I want to keep this friendship with him, I need to put in actual effort.

So, today, after the meet and greet, I'm going to suck up my ego and apologize to Walker for being distant. I'm going to ask him to hang out too.

I've avoided Dylan, which hasn't been hard. Neither of us have time to meet up with each other let alone text the other. It's honestly probably for the best but after seeing Dylan one time, friendship may be a good idea.

hey dyl
sorry it's been so long
you should hang out with
me and my friends sometime

Was it the best text I could send? No. But Dylan really seems to have changed for the better. I don't want to judge him based on his past.

As I stare at my phone, waiting for a response, a different name pops up onto the screen. Sunny.

I shove my phone in my back jean pocket before taking a once over of my outfit. Sunny and I don't want to draw any unwanted attention to ourselves at the meet and greet so we agreed on dressing casual.

I'm dressed in a navy hoodie and light washed baggy jeans. My hair is slicked back in a bun that shows my several gold hoops. My fingers are coated in gold rings that were gifted to me. I decided to layer two necklaces, a Kendra Scott and Evry Jewels.

I slip into my white high top converse before dashing out the door. I make it to the lobby and see Sunny already waiting. She has on a black nike crewneck and blue jeans. Her hair is straightened and tucked behind her ears. She carries her small black hand bag in one hand while scrolling through her phone on the other.

"Sunny!" I call. Her head snaps up at the sound of her name. Sunny's gaze softens when she sees me.

"Hey, I called the uber." Sunny smiles and looks me over. "You look cute. Impressing anyone?"

I roll my eyes. "Come on, Sunny."

"I'm only joking," Sunny says innocently.

Sunny was very adamant that I fix my relationship with Walker. Actually, not relationship, but friendship. Relationship sounds like we're dating.

She was not happy when she found out we were in a silent fight, both seeing who would reach out to the other first. Sunny was also mad when she heard about Dylan and I talking. Even as friends.
