There was something so thrilling about the moment we pulled up to the house.

Excitement filled the air, the sun hung low in the sky casting a warm golden hue over the sprawling lawn.

We were finally here. After months of planning, weeks of messaging back and forth in the group chat, we had finally arrived.

"Here we are." Dante said, his voice full of awe as he leaned forward in his seat,

staring up at the house. "The photos didn't do this place any justice."

I smiled wide, "I know, right?"

The house was huge, perched right of the cliff's edge with a view that stretched across the entire coastline.

I could already imagine the cute instagram pictures we would take there.

Dante threw the door open, and I followed, taking in the salty air as it hit my face.

The others pulled in behind us, spilling out of their cars one by one.

"This place is insane,"Dante said again, taking a few pictures with his camera.

"I'm going to need a whole new SD card just for the house tour."

"Make sure you get the view," I added, pointing toward the ocean.

Dior glanced over, smirking. "You two are such nerds."

I rolled my eyes, but smiled, knowing she was right, but I'd never admit that.

We had big plans for this summer, new followers, bigger collabs and brand opportunities and maybe, just maybe a little fun on the side.

I glanced over at Damien, who was laughing with Soren, probably about something stupid.

We all gathered by the front door as Loralie pulled out the keys. "Let's make it official, everyone come over here, let's take a picture!"

I laughed, shaking my head. Phones were pulled out, and cameras aimed,

Loralie stood in the center, smiling. "Alright, everyone say "New Beginnings!""

"New Beginnings!" We all shouted, smiling as the shutter clicked.

Loralie turned the key and pushed open the front door, revealing sleek marble floors, glass walls, and clean, modern lines.

"Welcome home!" Loralie smiled as she stepped inside, her voice echoing in the massive foyer.

"Sh*tt, this is massive." Damien exclaimed from behind me, eyes wide as he took in this space.

Dante and I wandered through the hallways. "This place is unreal." I said, as we passed the massive living room.

"Right? Like, look at that view!" Dante gestured toward the floor-to-ceiling windows.

We veered off in the direction of the kitchen, while voices echoed from other parts of the house.

Damien and Soren's laughter could be heard somewhere upstairs as they checked out the bedrooms.

Loralie and Cassidy were heading toward the backyard, already planning a mini photoshoot by the pool.

"This kitchen is perfect," I said as we stepped into the wide, airy space with sleek counters and a massive island.

Dante nodded. "I need to find the perfect spot to set up for editing. Probably in the study or somewhere with some quiet"
