last night was such a blur. all i remember was seeing sam wilkinson. sam wilkinson... what the hell was he even doing there? shouldn't he be somewhere around the united states being king?

"you're awake." i hear travis' voice and my eyes dart to the door where he's standing. "how are you feeling?"

he walks over to me with an advil tablet and a glass of water.

"i'm so hungover. thank you for taking care of me." i smile at him.

"no problem." he sits at the foot of the bed, watching me take the pill.

i tighten my grip around my glass cup as i try to remember more details. how did i even end up back here anyway?

"do you need more rest or are you ready to get up? we can go grab something to eat." travis says.

"give me five more minutes." i hold up five fingers with my hand.

he chuckles, "okay, baby. i'll wait for you in the living room."

with that, he leaves the room. fuck, why can't i remember anything at all? i set the cup down on the nightstand and use my hands to search the bed for my phone. when i finally get it, i unlock and read all of the messages.

[asia] you made it home safely right?

[asia] that so called boyfriend didn't kidnap you

[kendall] i'm good thank you for worrying

[asia] i don't know what happened to the other girls. i think they went home with random people.

i ignore that text and go on scrolling to other. thank god i didn't drunk text anyone like i usually would. my eyes squint to see a text message better. my mouth goes dry. i thought i deleted his phone number.

[sam] since when did you start hanging out with hotties and when did you turn into one

back at you. the last time i saw sam, he had brown haired and he was this quirky ass boy. maybe fame does change people's looks for the better. i go to the next text message which happened to be a group chat with all of the girls in it.

[karina] we're all going on a lunch date at 12 at urth bring a boy or don't because sam will bring some friends

[lizbeth] we're all hungover ugh and naomi crashed on my couch hahaha

[kendall] i'll bring travis

maybe this lunch date won't be too bad because what if sam stopped being friends with jack and is bringing other guys? that would be a pro rather than con. i sit up in the bed and force myself off of it, heading to the shower.

"what?" i ask travis, who's contently staring at me.

"nothing." he shrugs with a smile.

"stop staring." i say, sipping on my lemonade.

"your friends are coming." he lazily says, looking down the sidewalk.

i see the whole posse walking together. they look really put together even though they're hungover. my girls. i greet all of them and stand with them as we all go inside and to a table.

"travis." asia nods her head at him.

"asia." he mocks and i slightly smile at their demeanor towards each other.

i sit next to travis and there are three empty seats next to karina.

"where's sam?" i ask her.

"walking in right now." she smiles and fixes herself as she looks at sam and his little group come through the door.
