zoning out

SADIE wheeled the grocery cart charlotte was sitting in around the corner, "oooo, we feeling peach vibe or arctic vibe?" she asked, looking at the celsius options in stock.

"hmm, peach for now i guess," charlotte said.

"i thought you switched up on energy drinks and do coffee now? since that's all you have with gracie," marcus said, taking the pack out and placing it at the bottom of the cart.

"yeah, i guess, but she also doesn't let me buy energy drinks anymore because she's afraid one day my heart will give out," charlotte pouted. "when coffee is literally the same thing but she backs herself up by saying there's less chemicals or whatever," she frantically said, rolling her eyes.

"y'know maybe you two can try drinking water at some point, hm?" caleb said.

"booooo," charlotte and marcus said in unison.

ever since they all got close, charlotte, marcus, caleb, and sadie had a tradition of heading to the nearest grocery store immediately after one of them lands a role to buy shit to stock up their trailer for set. the thing came into place after they found out marcus has spent a whopping $1,800 on take out food for the entire time he was filming IT chapter two.

"you tell gracie you got casted yet?" sadie asked.

"yeah, just texted her a couple minutes ago but i don't know if she's outta therapy yet so no response yet."

"she's gonna be so happy. and i know that for a fact because you're gonna be all sweaty, bloody, and y'know overall a hot alien fighting badass in this movie," sadie said.

charlotte grinned but it shortly flatlined into a frown, "if she even watches it. she doesn't like scary shit. she cried after i showed her that 'the girl who escaped' movie i did because she thought me acting in it was gonna somehow manifest it to actually happen to me."

"nah, i'm sure she'll wanna watch it. considering you're gonna have gay energy with your co-star the entire time and i guarantee her possessive ass is gonna wanna see that for herself," marcus said, getting a flick in the head by charlotte as he stuck his tongue out at her.

"yeah, wait who is playing that kay character?" caleb asked, placing a metal water bottle in the cart and then mouthing the word 'water' to charlotte.

"isabela merced," charlotte replied. "we met at the chemistry read this morning and she's super sweet."

"oh yeah, i met her actually. can you hook me up with her pretty please, she's so fine," marcus said, putting his hands together to beg.

"uh aren't you currently hooking up with tate?" sadie sternly questioned.

marcus shrugged, "on and off, kinda just for fun. isabela though? i can settle down."

"okay, charlotte you have to link them, i've never heard marcus want to be tamed," caleb said in shock.

"hmm, we'll see," charlotte smirked. "if i do wingwoman you though i need you to help in organizing gracie's christmas present."

"what're you getting her?"

"you'll see," charlotte mischievously replied. "oh speaking of us... we kinda talked about moving in together."

"really? who's house, yours or hers?" sadie asked.

"honestly, maybe we might buy our own place."

"WHAT?!" sadie yelled, far too loud for their public setting. "oops." she then leaned down to charlotte with a more reserved voice, "you can't move away, we live five minutes away from each other!"
