"Can we be together now?" He asked, barely above a whisper.
"I um," I whispered. "We can't be together. I have someone else."
"But what about the promise we made a year ago? I waited one year for you, but did you wait for me?" He asked.
"The prom...
So today was the day of the photoshoot. We were all getting ready so we could go get lunch together. I unplugged my straightener, and slipped on my shoes.

"Ready?" Jackie asked me.
I nodded and followed him into the elevator. Once everyone was ready, we headed to a restaurant, and rented out part of the place. We all sat down, and ordered a drink.
"So, how's it like being twenty?" I asked my sister.
"It's weird since I'm no longer a teenager." She scrunched up her nose.
"Wow, I remember being a teenager." My mom smiled.
"And how long ago was that?" My sister teased.
My mom smacked her arm playfully before joining our laughing fit.
"I honestly miss being a teenager." Camila pouted.
"Who doesn't?" Jc mumbled.
"I don't. Puberty was the worst." Kian shook his head."Back then we didn't have as many responsibilities, and everything was easier."
"That's true." Shawn agreed.
"High school sucked as a teenager." Bryant stated.
"You tell me, I barely even had friends." Cam sighed.
"The pressure the teachers put on you was the worst." Jackie admitted.
"Other than the drama and fake people, high school wasn't that bad for me." I shrugged.
"Yeah, but you were there for only two years. Some of us were stuck there for all four years." Gilinsky pointed out.
"That doesn't mean we didn't go through bullshit." Crystal replied.
"Yeah, specially since we started social media as freshmen. Everyone knows that freshmen are easy bully targets." I nodded.
"But didn't you two go to like an advanced high school, though?" Hayes asked.
"Well, we went to a regular high school that has an early college program that Crystal and I got into." I explained.
"Dork alert." Taylor teased.
"Oh, hush! We both took advanced classes in middle school, that's why." Crystal laughed.
Not much longer, our food arrived. We immediately dug in, and talked to each other.
"After we finish, we're going to go straight to the photoshoot." Bryant announced.
We all nodded and continued to eat. Once we did finish, we drove to a mysterious destination.
