Paper Airplane [s.m]

Forty-Five

"Shawn I love your apartment." I say and fall backwards onto his large sofa. He laughs and looks at my upside down face. I wiggle my legs in the air before falling sideways onto the couch.

"You better, you'll be living in it in a few years." He tells me.

"Nope. This summer I'm moving in. I don't want to live with my Aunt all summer."

"Works for me." He shrugs.

"And it's close to campus." I point out, as if he didn't already know. He got this apartment for that very reason.

"Are the people coming over?" He asks.

"The people?" I laugh.

"I can't call us the squad anymore without Alex, Thalia and Reggie."

"Oh yeah that's true." I shrug.

"But I ordered all this food." He points to the kitchen table. It's covered in take-out bags from our favorite restaurant downtown.

"They'll be here." I tell him.

We've talked our families into letting us skip thanksgiving this year. We're spending it with our friends in Shawn's apartment. Will and Aaron will be here soon, but Jade is taking a little longer. She wanted to properly get ready. Even Ana is coming over.

A knock on the door interrupts our conversation about conspiracy theories. She  gets the door and lets in Aaron and his new boyfriend.

"Where's Jade? I heard she's the alcohol supplier?" Will asks as if it's just a rumor. Of course she's a alcohol supplier.

"She'll get here eventually." I tell him.

"She's bringing alcohol? Into my apartment? We are all underage." He tells me. Even at his age of 19, he's still underage.

"That's okay." I tell him.

"Where does she even get the alcohol?" Shawn asks.

"She says her older cousin gives it to her whenever she wants some. And it's not the cheap kind either, it's the good stuff." Aaron informs us. I already knew that from when Jade told me, but Will and Shawn are just now learning this.

Another knock on the door interrupts our conversation. I get it this time.

Ana and Jade come through the door without even being invited in.

"I brought alcohol!" Jade announces.

"We know!" Me and Shawn yell at her. Then we giggle and peck each other's lips.

"Ugh goals. Why can't I have a relationship like them?" Ana complains.

"Who knows? My girlfriend left the country to get away from me." Jade jokes and leans against the kitchen counter. We laugh.

"Don't worry, we're goals too." Will kisses Aaron's cheek as they both blush front the attention. We are literally all staring at them.

"Anyways, lets dig in!"

Jade pours wine into cups for us all while Shawn takes the food out of the brown bags and puts it all on the table.

"I want this one." Aaron takes an entire container of fries. That's our entire supply of fries.

"Hell no." I growl the same time Will says, "babe you can't eat all that."

"Two kinds of people." Ana says.

"I swear your like a walking Tumblr blog, would you shut up with the memes and the text posts?" I snap at her. She knows I'm joking so she starts laughing.
