| We Meet |

I wake up bright and early at 5:00 AM.
"Thank god todays the last day before break." I sigh.
I get dressed, I just throw on a crewneck and sweatpants. I put on a little concealer since my eye bags were TERRIBLE and rush downstairs.

"Morning! I made you pancakes Nai!"
"Thank you mom! Ill take them to go please!"
"Of course, better hurry I see Bellamy is early today."
"Bye mom! Love you!"

I open the door and see Bellamy. I walk out and walk to the car with her.
"Dude staying on the phone til 2 in the morning was a terrible idea. Im so tired and the makeup is not doing me justice." Bellamy said groaning.
"Hey your still a cutie pie wym." I say laughing as Bellamy rolls her eyes smiling.

We arrive at school to see Nick with his brothers. Nick says goodbye to them and walks over to us.

"Hey!! Finally the last day before break!" Nick says acting excited but is extremely exhausted.
"How late did you stay up? You seem tired" Bellamy asks.
"I was up with Matt and Chris ALL night. We were watching a few movies and lost track of time. How about you guys?"
"We were on the phone til about 2 and im EXHAUSTED beyond belief." I shout on accident.
"That was extremely loud and now everyone is looking at you Nai Nai." Bellamy says with a little laugh.

The bell rings and we head to class.

- TIMESKIP -

I hear the last bell ring. Finally dismissed. I see Nick and run over to him. "HEY!" I say again a little too loud.
"JESUS oh my gosh you scared me Nai."
"Sorry! Im so happy now I cant wait!!"
"Cant wait for break in general or are you doing something today?"
"Bellamy and I are filming our video today! Speaking of where is Mimi?"
"Oh I saw her with Rhyme she said she was looking for you. Shes already at the car waiting for you"
"Tanks! Hangout over break?"
"Absolutely."

I head back to my car. "Hey! Im so excited to film."
"Heyyyy!!!!" Bellamy says with extreme excitement.

We drive back to my house and chill for a bit as time goes by. We check the time and realize we have to leave, we both get changed. I grab our camera off the charger and we head out to the trampoline park. We arrive, scan our tickets and put our stuff in a cubby and get ready to film.

"Hey guys! For todays video we decided to do something different and fun! A trampoline park!!" Bellamy introduces the video.

After filming for a while, we see an obstacle course and of course want to race. We set our camera up and get ready.
"3 2 1 GO!"
"HAHA! I WIN!!" I yell excitedly. Then I hear a loud slam between someone.
"OW HOLY SH-" Bellamy and another voice shouts.
"BELLAMY ARE YOU OKAY?!" I run to Bellamy but hear another voice yell the same thing and look over.
"NICK?!" I say shockingly.

I help Bellamy up, and I see another guy helping the one who crashed into mimi. Oh its Nicks brothers, Matthew and Christopher, although I cant tell the difference yet.

"Im so sorry I wasn't paying attention." The triplet says taking a seat while also in excruciating pain.
"Niola, Matt, could you guys go get ice packs or something please. Im gonna go look for an employee." Nick asks
"Yea of course." Oh so Chris is the one with the longer hair. Hm.

I get up and sit on the side of the obstacle course and Chris comes over and sits next to me.

"Hey im really sorry I wasn't paying attention are you okay?" Chris asks concerningly.
"Yeah, I'm alright, what about you though. You were going incredibly fast" I say giggling while my head is throbbing
"In all fairness me and Matt said we were gonna race for the video but I couldn't hear him say wait."
"Ohhh, so basically my head wouldn't be hurting so bad if only you had listened" I let out a joking sigh
"Come on can we at least agree both of us were in the wrong" he said in a smile
"You're right I wasn't paying attention either" as I raise my hand to hand shake on it
"Mutual agreement then?" I say tilting my head
"Mutual agreement." As we shake on it
His hands were so warm while mines were freezing. In a way it felt good.
"So what's ur name Ms. Mysterious girl, actually no your Bellamy am I right?" he says laughing
"Your correct, I'm guessing Nick told you then"
"He talks about you and Niola sometimes. Whenever I ask who he's hanging with it's always you two."
"I guess you should be honored to meet me then" both of us start to giggle. I've heard of Chris before but I never imagined him this fun to be around. He was so easy to talk to and get along with. He had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, it was so easy to keep eye contact with him. Wait why am I thinking all this?

Matt and I get lost trying to find first aid, to be fair the trampoline park is huge. While walking in awkward silence, Matt breaks it.

"Niola Bailey, right?"
"So do you know my full name? Kinda stalkishh, but yes Niola Silvia Bailey if you must know." I say giggling
"Nick talks about you guys a lot so I must inform I am no stalker, just a good listener. Nice to finally meet you, Matthew by the way."
"I know! I feel like Mimi and I have been friends with Nick for so long its crazy we havent met yet."
"Im sorry about Chris tho, I hope Bellamy is okay especially because we can not find ice anywhere." He laughs a bit.
I giggled a little at his joke as well. "I guess Chris had a LOT of energy, he was flying!"
"Kids always like that anywhere childish. Its fun for a bit but gets a little aggravating after a while."
I giggle again while locking eyes with him. Why is he kinda.. wait no, Julie likes him. I remind myself.

We find ice and head back to Chris and Bellamy.

"Hey you guys took forever!" I say pretending to be mad at Niola.
"So sorry! The trampoline park is huge! We got lost." Niola exclaimed giving me a look like she needed to tell me something
Niola and Matt both hand over the ice and me and Chris let out a relived sigh. Nick then a arrives to where we are sitting.
"Glad you guys look happy" Nick says to Niola and Matt
"You guys look like your high from that ice." Nick looks to me and Chris and laughs
"I don't think you understand how long this had been hurting both me and her" Chris says
We all talk for about ten minutes then Matt cuts in.
"I'm really sorry Bellamy that my CHILDISH brother hurt you. In compensation is there anything you would like from us."
If I'm being honest there really wasn't anything I wanted, however the way Nai Nai looks so happy right now I couldn't let the night end. Plus I was quite hungry anyways.
"I meannnn I am a little hungry AND there is a Waffle House down the road SO."
"So be it then we'll lead the way and you guys can follow"
We head to are cars and as soon as I get in the car my headache is basically almost better. I'm guessing the laughing had made it a tad bit worse.
"Sooooo what did you and Matt talk about. Y'all were laughing quite a bit."
"Well wouldn't you like to know" she said laughing
"I'll get the answers one way or another don't worry"

We arrive at Waffle House and get seated at a booth. Niola in the corner, me in the middle and Nick on the other side of me on one side. Matt across from Nai, and Chris across from both me and Nick on the other side. We started talking about the video for today.
"Nick you never told us you were gonna do a trampoline video as well?" Niola asked.
"I have my reasons." Nick says without even giving us an explanation
We started talking and making jokes for a while, then ordered our food, talked more and waited for our food. Finally we were about done and Nick offers an idea.
"Today was fun so why don't we make a group chat. I bet this video is going to blow up when it releases so technically if we collaborate together again the fans are gonna love it ten times more."
"That's a really good idea actually" Niola says with a really big smile
What is she thinking I know she has something up her sleeve. Nick makes the group chat and I add both Chris and Matt's numbers to my contacts.
"Can I take a pic of you guys for your contact photos" I ask both Matt and Chris
They both pose and we leave the restaurant they all yell bye and me and Nai Nai yell back.

"Soo, whats up?" I say curiously.
"Okay you're not gonna believe me and I know this might make me a terrible person but in all fairness its not my fa-"
"You're spiraling Nai. Calm down you can tell me anything." I say in a more concerned voice
"I think I like Matt. BUT Julie already likes him so does that make me a bad friend?"

My jaw drops in shock
"I mean at least that explains all the smiling, but you only met him once you have to be sure you actually like the guy. And don't worry about Julie. It will never be your fault for falling for someone" I nudge her
"Omg your so right, I might not even like him like that and thank you Mimi"
"Of course, and think of it this way if y'all do get close put a word in with his cute brother for me" I say winking
"WHAT!?"

A/N: HEYYY!! This chapter was long and a lot of words tbh but we hope yall like! We were tryna make them meet and like fall slowly for each other BUT also tryna make it realistic to what we would actually think and say in the moment. Also we never explained this or mentioned but there will be no smut at all hence why this isnt labeled as mature. Hope ygs enjoy and we have many plans for this story but also feel free to leave your own ideas too! Maybe we'll use them 🫶😏
