*1 day later* (a/n) sorry about the time skip :(

Joey's POV:
I'm getting so many comments on my recent instagram picture. Most of them are talking about my caption. Everyone is tagging me in pictures about it so I decide to tweet something.

Tweet:

@josephbirlem: ya'll I could be talking about how I had fun with my family yesterday for all ya know😂

Well that just made it worse. Even Messy Monday tweeted about me.

@messymondaytwitter: Joseph is a little salty about this whole situation I see🐸☕️

I'm not putting up with this.

@josephbirlem: Fine, I was hanging out with a girl yesterday, okay? But it's not like she's important so don't worry about it, y'all need to calm down😂

Now I feel bad.. I don't really mean that, do I? I mean, I know we just met and all but... never mind.

@messymondaytwitter: Joey admits to hanging out with a girl yesterday, but tells us that she isn't important? That's just low☕️

I ignore it and try to think about other things, I have a photo shoot at the park today.

Wait what time is it? I check the clock in my room and see that it's 11:47am. I'm supposed to be at the park by noon and I'm not even ready. Okay, I'm mentally having a panic attack. What do I wear? I check the time again, 11:49, oops. I run to my dresser and grab a tan t-shirt from pacsun with black ripped jeans. I got showered this morning, so I just change and put on my shoes. I check my clock for the 5th time, 11:55.

"It's a good thing the park is only about five minutes away" I say to myself as I walk out of my room and down the stairs.

I grab my phone off the counter and start running down the street to the park.

After about 2 minutes of sprinting, I'm exhausted. I slow down my pace to a jog, and realize I'm coming up to a house. There's a girl at the mailbox gathering all of her mail. Wait, this house looks familiar... no it can't be, right? I just feel kind've nervous because I left Kristina like that, I didn't even say a word. Please don't
be her, please don't be her. I notice I'm still staring and the girl turns around... guess who?

When Kristina sees me, we lock eyes. I see a little bit of hurt in her eyes... gosh now I feel really bad... I feel like such a jerk. She just moved in, probably hasn't made any friends yet, and I say that about her? Wow, I'm such a jerk.
She puts her head down and walks back into her house like nothing even happened.

I continue my walk to the park and eventually making it there, two minutes late, guilt paining the inside of my head.

Kristina's POV:
The rest of yesterday was a blur, I slept and watched Netflix all day.

I woke up to the wonderful smell of pancakes. I get up off my bed and walk downstairs, nearing the kitchen. My mom is finishing the pancakes by the stove while McKenna is sitting at the table with my brother. I walk up to my mom and give her a hug.

"Sleep good?" She asks.

"Yeah, I'm still a little tired though," I say, yawning.

She laughs and hands me a plate piled with pancakes and syrup.

"Thanks Mom," I say, smiling at her.

"You're welcome sweetheart," she says, giving me a warm smile back.

I take my seat at the table, on the other side of McKenna and my brother, and sit down.

"Well good morning to you too," McKenna says, laughing.
