There were two boys that looked to be around thirteen or fourteen that were shooting Nerf guns at each other. Across the room, a much older one that looked around Cameron's age was on his phone, Snapchatting it while laughing hysterically.

I automatically knew he was Aaron Carpenter. He was one of Cameron's best friends, of course, and probably the only person who knows about me and Cameron's relationship.

Then sitting in a chair in front of the dressing room mirror was Taylor. He was also on his phone, moving it around and making hand gestures while music played from it. I might have not known much about social media, but he was definitely on the app, Musical.ly.

A blonde guy who looked a year or two younger than Taylor, was also doing the musical.ly with him.

Then in the corner playing rock, paper, scissors, was this boy and I'm assuming also his little brother.

And on a leather couch was an Asian American on his phone who was obviously Carter. I also knew him because of the drama him and his ex had a while back... But I'm just glad that's over.

"Hey guys," Cameron says, announcing his presence.

Everyone looks up and stops what they're doing, immediately noticing me. With all of their attention on me it made me feel self conscious, and I looked down at my Vans.

The little dude playing rock, paper, scissors spoke up, nodding his head toward me. "Who's she?"

Everyone muttered in agreement, also wondering the same thing as well.

"My-" Cameron starts, but I quickly blurt in.

"Cousin. I'm his cousin," I say, giving them all a smile.

I don't know why I just said that, but I was still terrified at the idea of any of these boys knowing we're dating- excluding Aaron of course since he already knew

I don't know why I just said that, but I was still terrified at the idea of any of these boys knowing we're dating- excluding Aaron of course since he already knew.

Aaron spoke up first, putting his phone in his pocket. "Nice to meet you." He said politely. He had a small on his face, knowing damn well he already knew exactly who I was.

"You too," I replied back, with a half smile on my face.

"Hey, what's your name," the bigger guy in the corner playing rock, paper, scissors asked.

"Madison," I tell them.

"That's a beautiful name," one of the ones that was playing with the Nerf guns says, giving me a smile.

"Jacob chill, that's Cameron's cousin," the other one who was playing with him groans, as if this has happened before. "I'm Blake, by the way."

And just like that, everyone goes around telling their names.

Besides Jacob and Blake - or at least that's what I think their names were - the one who was playing rock, paper, scissors was Hunter Rowland, and he had little brother, Brandon. Also there was Dylan Dauzat, who was the one doing the musical.ly with Taylor.

Apparently I didn't take notice of all of the members, because another boy who was Jacob's age introduced himself too. He was Johnny Orlando. There was also Colby, Jazz, Willy and Mahogony, but they came in together a little later.

Aaron and Carter and Taylor tell me their name also, but it's not like I didn't already know who they were.

"Wow." Is all I say, after each and every one of them tells me their names. "I'll probably forget all of that in five minutes."

They all laugh, and I start to feel less anxious. Maybe I will fit in, after all.

"Um, one question," I say shyly, holding up my phone. "What's the WiFi password?"

After Taylor helps me connect to the network, he and the other boys go ahead and follow me on social media and give me their numbers. My phone immediately fills up with contacts, more than it's ever been, actually, since I really only had Cameron, my Mom, some relatives, and Pizza Hut.

They add me to a group chat called 'Magcon' and my phone immediately blows up with texts.

There's a rapid knock on the door before it abruptly opens.

A short, stubby lady with a clipboard and mic attached to her looks around the room. "You guys are on in a minute, head out!"

Everyone rushes out the door, following the lady. Cameron stays behind though, until we're alone.

"So you're my cousin now??" Cameron asks humorously. I guess he wasn't mad after all.

I blush a light pink, fiddling with my Lokai© bracelet. "I don't know, honestly. Like it just came out."

"Cameron! Thirty seconds before the show starts!" The lady shouts from down the hall.

Cameron kisses me on the head. "I gotta go, but you stay here until we come back, 'kay?"

I nod and he finally leaves, leaving me here all alone.

To spare time I go on Instagram, realizing that all the boys followed me earlier. Because of that, I just gained over 2,000 followers.

I check Twitter too.

They followed me on there as well, and I also gained just above 1,500 followers.

Oh. my. God.

Freaking out, I just hold my phone, not really knowing what to think at all

Freaking out, I just hold my phone, not really knowing what to think at all.

That's when my phone suddenly buzzes, jolting me back into the real world. I unlock my phone with my fingerprint, realizing that I had gotten several texts and missed calls from my mom.

Missed Call (Mom) at 5:30pm
Missed Call (Mom) at 5:35pm
Missed Call (Mom) at 5:40pm
New text (Mom)
New text (Mom)

Apparently avoiding my Mom seemed to be way more of a challenge than I thought.
