8:22 PM
I slowly walk inside, my lip trembling, and walk towards the shockingly empty couch. I take a seat on the cushion and try to stay calm.
"Corinne? Oh my god, Rinny, is that you?!" I hear a slightly deep girl's voice yell. I turn around and look up to see a girl with blue hair smiling down excitedly at me. Within seconds, her face registers. I jump up with a squeal, temporarily forgetting what Max told me moments ago.
"Oh my god! Apphia?" I gasp, quickly moving around the couch to my old friend, pulling her into a tight hug. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought you moved to LA to make an album with Alan?"
"I did, but I'm here for a week to be with Emily who, coincidentally, also lives in Brooklyn. Some DJs I'm friends with told me to come to this party, so here I am." She says with a grin, hugging me back. "Speaking of this party, whose party is it, exactly?"
"Joji's friend, Ian. He's talking to some guy named Tanner." I say with a shrug.
"Tanner?" She asks with a scowl. "Tanner as in the stoner with a septum and a nasty ass fuckboy haircut?"
"Uh, yeah, I guess that's how you could describe his hair." I say slowly, not sure as to why she seems so annoyed. "Why? Do you not like him?" I've no idea why she'd dislike him, he seemed nice enough when he briefly talked to me earlier.
"We had hella beef on twitter the other day over a joke some girl made. It was mad ugly." She rolls her eyes, scoffing. "He called me a status hoe and everything. Mad immature."
I suppress a laugh, shaking my head. "That's tragic, Phia, really." She furrows her brows at me and huffs.
"Onto more relevant things and people, I heard that Joji is here, too." She says with a wink. "And that he was extra handsy with you. Does that mean what I hope it means?"
Evidently she still wants us back together. That's nice.
"You wish." I groan and pull out my phone, texting her so people won't overhear. She instantly understands what I'm doing, so she grabs her phone from her back pocket, ready to reply.
Me, 8:28 PM: apphia i talked to max
Phi🔪, 8:28 PM: ok and what did he say
Me, 8:29 PM: jojis still in love w me lol
I hear her squeal, and I roll my eyes.

Me, 8:30 PM: ur cancelled bye
Phi🔪, 8:30 PM: im gonna ignore that & instead let u kno tht joji is walking toward u vry quickly imma go i luv u bye❤
I look up at her in alarm and she flashes me an evil grin, then happily sways away to the kitchen. I hear someone clear their throats behind me, and I keep from sighing to myself.
I turn around, slapping a fake grin on my face. "Hi, Joji!" I say with false enthusiasm.
"Corinne, I know Max told you something, and we need to talk about it. Now." He says, his eyes glossy.
Fuck.

This chapter is really bad and so boring to me but it's kind of a filler because I needed to introduce Corinne's best friend and I want the really important stuff to be in the next chapter:/
Also Apphia is a real person her twitter/Instagram is phiphibb she's an absolute gem i stan her so hard and have since 2013 we've spoken in ig DMs and she's really nice go follow her I highly encourage it
ALSO!that drama between phi and tanner aka getter is real and it was caused on accident by my friend beverly and you can still see his tweets in the argument on his account but she deleted hers bc she doesn't like staying in drama but ya I included it because it's still like a dumb inside joke between me and my friend!!!
