"Wake up we're gonna be late" Jesse panics shaking me awake.
"Late for what" I ask still half asleep
"Oh my- late for our trip to Mars now put this on" she says shoving some clothes into my arms.
"Alright fine" I mumble as I walk into the bathroom.
Late for what? Whatever. I splash water on my face causing a shiver and an outbreak of goosebumps. I quickly change into the clothes Jesse had thrown at me. It's been a long time since I've worn shorts and a crop top... Do I look fat? My skin is probably really washed out because I haven't really been in the sun. I tug at the bottom of the shirt as I look in the mirror... Ugh.
"Hurry up in there will ya!" Jesse yells through the door
"Can I get another set of clothes" I yell back.
"No we don't have time Parker is waiting in the car"
"Fine" i grumble as I walk out.
"You look fine... Now let's go!" She states as she tugs my wrist.
"Alright let's go" I say.

"Well don't you two look lovely" Parker says backing out of the drive way.
"Aww thanks Parker... So What did you boys do last night" Jess asks. She seems unusually bubbly.
"We didn't really do anything... Just recorded" Parker states.
"Okayyyy... since Parker is a party pooper... tonight you are going with me and Ally to 'the field'" Jesse beams.
"Ummm I don't-"
"No you can't take him to field" Parker whines
I haven't been to field in ages!
"I haven't been to the field in ages!" I exclaim
"Well it's settled we are going to field tonight" Jesse states matter-of-factly
"Ugh fine" Parker fake sighs making us laugh.
The laugh pretty much signified the end of the conversation we all went into our own little worlds with Parker focused driving, Graser focused on his phone, Jesse focused on her finger nails and then there is me focused on talking to myself and staring at that turtle shaped cloud. It looks like the turtle is eating the sun.

"We'll finally you guys are half an hour late" the same guys who was sitting next to Graser last night said jokingly
"We couldn't find parking" Parker states with just a hint of annoyance.
"Well anyway everyone already went inside so let's do what we do"
We all follow behind the dude that was sitting next to Graser, whose name is possibly mark.
"Hey Parker" I loudly whisper falling behind to talk to him.
"What?"
"What's his name"
"That's Julio why?" oh... Where did I get mark from?
"Umm I couldn't remember it... I actually don't remember anyone's name can you help me with names"
Parker stifles a laugh "yeah sure"
"Ok thanks can we start with everyone in the group we are about to meet" I ask meekly
"O-" Parkers whispered voice was over powered by the group shouting and walk-running towards us.
"Ok here is goes

"Yeah thanks Parker you're the b-" is all I am able to say to say before he is pulled away and I am left standing awkwardly half naked on the outer edge of the group.
I tug my shirt down, pull out my phone and get on Twitter.
I find myself on Twitter more often... It's fun to read about other people and yeah I like to stalk all 305 of my followers.
"So Ally right... How do you know Parker?"
"Uh yeah I'm Ally...I've know Parker forever we were neighbors... You're Will right?"
"Yeah I'm Will"
"So anyway how long have you know these guys"
"A few years now... Yeah I am glad I met them they are some the most amazing people I've ever met"
"That is so sweet." Wow. Fuck. He's cute. "So Will I'm new to this whole gaming community convention thing... Maybe you could show me around if it's not to much to ask"
"No, yeah that would be cool" he smiles
"Cool"
"Cool"
"Will stop flirting! We are heading to main stage" Jordan laughs
"Oh you guys go on ahead I'm going to skip it and look around"
"Alright suit yourself..."
"Ally are you coming?" Jesse asks raising her eyebrows
"Ummm..." I look at will " No I think I'm going to hang out with Will" I smile
"Ok y'all have fun" she says before everyone disappears into a larger crowd.
