IN L.A

1 months later.

—   Are you going to Drake's birthday party ? Kendall asks, sipping her iced coffee.

—     Depends on y'all, I reply, glancing around.

—    I'm going. Zack says.

Obviously.

—   Me too, Justin says, giving a nod.

Kylie, who's been quiet, shrugs.

—    I don't know.

—    Why ? Kendall asks, raising an eyebrow.

—    I have a kid, Kylie says, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

—   So ? Cole asks raising a brow.

Kylie rolls her eyes at him and we all laugh.

At the same moment my phone buzzes in my pocket.
I it pull out my, glancing at the screen. A message notification lights up. It's from Jungkook. My thumb hovers over the screen for a second before I open it.

Smh

—   Who got you smiling like that ? Kylie says.

—   Just Jungkook, I say, trying to sound casual.

—   Ohhh, Kendall smirks.

I shake my head, laughing it off.

—    No, it's not like that. I say, rolling my eyes.

Zack chuckles.

—   So, what's the deal ?

—   We're really just friends, I swear. I explain. We've been talking a lot since the interview but it's all purely platonic.

—   Mmm, funny how every time you say that about a guy, next thing we know you start dating him. Justin says, and we all crack up, because he's not wrong.

—   No, but really, I say, trying to keep a straight face as the laughter dies down, he's just super sweet, you know ?

—   Girl, you said the exact same thing about Jude, Raven teases, laughing.

—    Fuck you, I laugh, nudging her back.

—    We can't blame her, starts Cole. After everything she's been through with Brent. No wonder she finds every average dude sweet. Brent was like... the devil himself.

Everyone erupts into laughter again, and I just shake my head, trying to hide my smile.

—    We barely know each other and m honestly, I don't feel like diving into another relationship right now, I say, shrugging.
