"look at this one. we look so different now." tessa says laughing, pointing at a picture of us from freshman year on her phone. i laugh looking at how young we look. i grab a handful of popcorn and shove it in my mouth. my phone rings and i pick it up without looking at who it is.

"hello." i say cheerfully, waiting for a response.

"hey riland! i wanted to know if i can come over in ten minutes. i know we're hanging out tonight, but im pretty bored, so-"

"yeah, of course jon." i say cutting him off before he starts rambling.

"alright, cool. ill see you in a few."

"see you in a few." i say and hang up the phone.

"jon's coming now." i say looking at tessa who's making faces, probably using snapchat filters. she nods and i decide to pick out an outfit for the night.

"hey, do you need any clothes for tonight." i say walking into my closet and looking at clothes.

"nope, bought an outfit here for tonight. ill get changed in a few."

i nod, knowing the fact she can't see me. i look through my clothes and pick out ripped jeans, my gucci t shirt, and a jean jacket. i take off my uniform and toss it on the chair in my closet. i put on the clothes i picked out and put my timb boots on to complete my outfit. i grab my small louis vuitton backpack and walk out of my closet, closing the door behind me.

"woah, okay rich bitch, i see you." tessa say walking up to me and yanking at my shirt.

i laugh.

"my parents love to spoil me, so i guess ill take advantage of it." i say looking down at my shirt and bag.

"you never liked to wear the shit your parents buy you, im liking the new you already. hope this is part of your self confidence glo up." tessa says smiling at me. the doorbell breaks our small talk and i run down to get it.

"hey jon." i say hugging him tightly. the smell of his cologne slightly burning my nostrils.

"hey riland. hey tessa." he says going into hug tessa after hugging me.

"i missed seeing you so much. how's the college life treating ya." i say walking into the living room and plopping down on one of the couches.

"oh, don't get me started, the work is ten times harder in college, but the freedom is amazing, i missed you guys a lot though. it just isn't the same seeing my four best friends everyday." jon says sitting right next to me. we dated when i was a sophomore in high school and he was a senior, but we ended that quickly, we had a little drama, but we've gotten over that and now we're just best friends.

"surprised you would still want to hang with a couple of high school kids like us." tessa says throwing a pillow at jon playfully and sitting down on the couch near us.

"you guys are still my best friends, doesn't matter how old i get or where i go." jon says laughing and throwing the pillow back.

"i bet you've been getting so much pussy since you've entered college." tessa says looking at him with a smirk on her face.

"oh god, tessa ." i say looking at her with wide eyes.

"i bet i get even more than you." tessa says sticking her tongue out.

"oh.. oh shit, she's calling you out jon." i say placing a fist over my mouth and laughing.

"oh yeah, tessa? let's go, right now." jon says leaning forward placing his elbows on his knees and we laugh, joke, and talk until it's time for us to head to the mall to meet up with tim and josh.
