As we neared the front, I spotted Andrew, waiting patiently.

"Andrew!" I shouted, calling him over so we can all leave for Starbucks.

He looked up from his phone and put it in his pocket before running over to catch up with us.

"Hey, are we going to go somewhere?" Andrew asked once we were all together.

I nodded my head, "Yeah, we're planning to go to Starbucks. Wanna come?"

"Sure," He answered, giving us a thumbs up.

"Okay... how are we going to get there?" Trevor sheepishly asked, causing us all to stop walking.

"Oh my god.." Olivia complained, causing me and Andrew to laugh.

That's when I remembered Taylor. Oh shoot, I forgot to text her when Andrew and I went inside before the game started.. or where we were sitting...

"Guys! I know how we could get there! Taylor should be around here somewhere so she can drive us there," I suggested, pulling my phone out.

Trevor clapped his hands, "Woo! There we go. See guys, nothing to worry about."

I dialed Taylor's number and held my phone to my ear. After a couple dial tones, the call went to voice mail.

Huh, she didn't pick up..

"Any luck?" Andrew asked, moving closer towards me.

I shook my head, "No.. but I'm going to try again."

With that, I called Taylor a second time. Finally she answered the call.

"Hey, sorry, I was taking a nap because someone didn't text me where they were," Taylor said, emphasizing the word 'someone'.

I slightly laughed, "Sorry.. Anyways, where are you? Trevor, Olivia, Andrew, and I need a ride to Starbucks."

I looked around at all the cars in the parking lot and tried to find Taylor's.

"Ooh! You guys are going to Starbucks? Will I get something too?"

"Yeah okay, sure. Where are you?"

Taylor paused for a moment before answering my question. "Umm, I'm over by— Oh look it's the band."

"Wait you're parked over by the band??" I questioned, looking in the direction the band went.

"Yeah, over by that huge truck that they're putting their stuff in," Taylor answered, causing me to sigh.

"Okay, we'll be there. Don't move!"

I hung up the phone and turned to Trevor, Olivia, and Andrew. "Taylor said that she's parked over by the band truck."

"Isn't that all the way over there?" Olivia asked, pointing where it is.

I nodded my head and began to walk in that direction. "Come on guys, let's go!"

"There's the band truck! We should be close to Taylor," I pointed out, looking back.

For some reason, we were way ahead of Olivia and Trevor, so it was just me and Andrew up here.

Wow, they're slow..

"Hey look, it's Preston and Sierra," Andrew pointed them out.

I looked over and Preston was hanging out and having a conversation with Sierra.

Hm, I wonder what happened to Garrett after those two kissed.

"Hey it's Talia and Andrew!" Some guy shouted from among the band kids.

Andrew and I looked over in the direction it came from.

"Was that—?" Andrew asked.

Before Andrew could finish his sentence, a bunch of band people started saying 'hi' at the same time.

That's when Preston and Sierra spotted us and walked over.

"Talia, Andrew, are you guys going somewhere?" Sierra asked.

Both Andrew and I nodded our heads. "Yeah, Starbucks," I answered for the both of us.

"Ooh, is this a date?" Preston teased as Sierra quietly laughed.

....

"Nooooo."

Then, Andrew lightly punched Preston on the shoulder. "Psh, a date? Whaaaat?"

I looked at Sierra, who shrugged and gave me a smirk.

Weird..

"Do you guys wanna come?" I asked, catching Preston's attention.

Preston looked at Sierra and they both nodded their heads.

"Sure, but we all have to go back to school to put our stuff away first, then we'll probably catch up with you guys," Sierra replied.

"Okay, see you guys later!" Andrew waved, pulling me as he began to walk past the band.

"Bye! Talia, the Starbucks by our school right?" Sierra questioned.

I nodded my head and waved before walking off with Andrew to find Taylor's car.

"There it is!"

I began to walk a little faster, this time pulling Andrew.

Once we reached the car, Taylor started up the engine and unlocked the doors.

"Hey guys!" Taylor greeted as I got into the back of the car, followed by Andrew.

"Hi Taylor," Andrew replied, closing the car door.

"Oh, don't leave yet. Olivia and Trevor should be here by now," I informed, tapping Taylor's shoulder.

She nodded her head and a few seconds later, Olivia and Trevor came.

When they finally got to the car, Olivia opened the passenger door.

"Wait are you sitting up there with Taylor?" I asked Olivia before she could get inside.

"Yup," She answered, jumping into the passenger seat and closing the door.

Then that means—

"Looks like I'm squeezing in with you guys!" Trevor excitedly exclaimed once he opened the door.

"Yes!" Andrew laughed, giving a high-five to Trevor after he sat down and closed the door.

Wow, this is great. I'm squished in between Andrew and Trevor in the back.. fun...

"Okay, let's go!" Olivia laughed, turning up the volume as Taylor began to drive.
