it's still not new years in this book yet, even though it is in real life. i'm late, but i was busy. sorry! 💕

weston, mario, blake, and hunter were filming youtube videos and challenges. brandon was in one of the guest rooms. my phone buzzed and i looked down at it.

brando❤️:
hi

gemma:
hey :)

brando❤️:
what's up?

gemma:
ugh. can you not? 🙄

brando❤️:
what?

gemma:
why are you acting all weird around me? it's like you don't like me and you don't want to be here.

brando❤️:
of course i like you

brando❤️:
more than u no

gemma:
know*

brando❤️:
oh hush 😶😂

brando❤️:
i want 2 be here but i just wanted it to b me and u together

gemma:
i get that. i'm sorry i invited them :(

brando❤️:
it's okay it's not really ur fault

brando❤️:
they're our friends and it was the right thing to do. i'm sorry i've been acting so rude lately. i just feel so annoyed when the guys r telling me what to do and pressuring me to ask u out. they just don't understand.

gemma:
understand what? i'm sorry you've felt that way.

brando❤️:
stop apologizing for things that aren't your fault! 😇 and they just don't understand that it's hard for me

gemma:
asking me out is hard for you?

"gemma!" weston shouted.

i looked up at him. "hmm?"

"why are you typing so fast?" he asked. "did someone offend your idol and then, you for butt hurt? are you writing a paragraph about how they're wrong?"

"no," i laughed at him. "it's not that."

"what's up?" hunter asked. "you seemed happy with whoever you were texting and then, you got shook and mad."

i began explaining. "it's j-."

"what are we doing tonight?" brandon asked, walking down the stairs. "besides, the party."

"nothing," i shrugged my shoulders. he looked shocked and i didn't mean for it to be rude, it just came out of my mouth. oops? "uh...sor- i mean, we're going to watch the ball drop on tv and probably watch movies after that."

"i just wanted to know if i was going to miss something important," he said. "but now i know, i can skip it."

"why would you skip it?" mario asked.

"i'm going to go see gabby."
