torn between

two; the best friends

"That's a wrap!" Today's director, Ben, who also plays Cory, my dad, shouts.

"Yesssss!" I exclaimed.

"Hey, Row! Wanna go hang out later?" Corey walked over to me and asked.

"Sure! There's this ice-cream place I've always wanted to go to," I told him.

"Well, then let's go!" Corey picked up his bag from the floor and started walking towards the exit. However, I didn't notice. I was looking at... him.

Peyton. Oh my god, he's so hot. Awww, he's taking a picture with a fan and being so nice to her! Peyton is such a sweet guy. He sho—

My thoughts were interrupted by Corey, who was calling out to me again.

"Rowww! What are you doing?" He asked. I quickly brushed it off, picked up my bag and walked over to where he was.

"Nothing, sorry! I was daydreaming," I told him, before he looked at me in doubt for one last time and then walking out with me.

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

"Mmmmm! This ice-cream is the best. Let's come here everyday," I told Corey.

"Sure, if you wanna get fat," Corey puffed his cheeks and spread his arms wide, shaking from side to side.

I laughed at his silliness, and he laughed along.

"So, have you thought of getting a girlfriend?" I smirked at him as I licked the ice-cream off my tiny spoon.

He scooped another chunk of ice-cream with his spoon from his own cup of Cookies and Cream, his favorite.

"Obviously, no. I've told you before! I don't and never will have a crush!" he told me calmly.

"Alright, alright. But if you ever have one, I'd better be the first to know," I warned him jokingly.

"Same to you. Do you have one?" At this sentence, Corey looked up from his cup at me.

He saw my hesitation and quickly said, "I knew it! You have a crush!"

"What? Nah, nope. I don't," I said.

"Hmm," Corey raised his eyebrows in suspicion, but then continued eating his ice-cream.

I looked down at my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice-cream and sighed.

I absolutely hate keeping secrets from Corey. I could totally tell him this one, I just don't know what's taking so long for me to admit it to him.

Another day of filming. Sigh.

We were filming Girl Meets Her Monster, one of my favorite episodes.

Not only is the singing of the tv show song fun, but I also loved how many people, especially I, could relate to and learn so much from.

"Out here in space, I kiss your green face! But it feels like you're light years awaaaaaaaaaay!" Sabrina and I sang at the top of our voices, then showing our jazzy hands at the end. I treasured moments like these so much. I looked at Sab and smiled at her, getting one back from her.

Immediately after finishing the last word of the song, Danielle opened the door and said, "Are yo—"

And she was cut off by Ben. "Cut! Danielle, you're only up after they finish singing, and look at the laptop!"

"Oh, sorry! I— I don't know what's up with me today... let's do it again," she frowned and went back out.

Sabrina and I sang the song again, then pretended to listen to the laptop announcing the episode number.

Danielle walked in and said, "Are you kidding me?"

We said our lines, and then Ben finally shouted, "Cut! Yes! It's a wrap for this scene!" He pumped his fist in the air.

I laughed at him. One of the best co-stars and director we could ever have on set.

"I love this song so much!" I squealed as I turned towards Sabrina.

"Me too. I'm addicted," she said firmly, and started singing it again.

And there we were, singing the whole song over and over again, for who knows how long.

And that, everyone, is what friendship goals looks like.

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

After the whole day of filming, we, the cast, decided on going over to MacDonald's for a laughter-and-chatter-filled dinner.

And so we ended up at the fast food restaurant, talking and laughing like no one else was in the restaurant.

Sadly, the whole crew had some emergency meeting and couldn't eat with us.

"Oh my god, and how did you get it back?" Sabrina asked, and we all burst out laughing.

"Well, I just went to the hot teacher to ask for my UNDERWEAR back. No big deal, y'all," Ben replied, reminiscing about his summer camp years ago.

We all laughed till our sides hurt, and Corey shouted out, "You are the bravest guy I've ever met!"

"Thanks, guys. I appreciate my fans a lot," Ben clasped his hands together on the table and smiled.

"The only fans you'll have would be the ones above you!" I joked, and we all continued laughing like maniacs.

"Kay. Can. Great to know you love me, Row," he replied.

We laughed till people all around started turning to look at us, but we didn't care. This was who we were.

Our laughter died down soon enough, and we all continued talking for the rest of the night, time passing so quickly that once I looked down at my watch, I was so surprised to see that it was already 9pm at night.

"Well, I guess tonight's gotta end," Danielle said.

"We'll be making so, so many more memories even after this," Peyton smiled.

"Of course we will," Sabrina grinned, then turned to me, looking at me in the eyes.

We smiled, as we left the restaurant together, then parting ways.

As I started walking towards the subway station, I suddenly felt a pat on my shoulder.

Peyton?

I turned around quickly, but realized it was Corey.

"Hey. Uh, want me to send you home? It's gettin' late," he smiled, like a best friend would.

Awww, Cor's the best.

"It's alright, actually. You should get home too! See you tomorrow," I smiled and hugged him tightly, then walking away.

But he caught up with me and said, "Nah, I'll just go along with you."

"Thanks, Cor. I love you," I told him, as we walked off to the subway station.
