"This food is amazing." I said stuffing my face with enchiladas. Mexican food is my favorite.
"Hey you got a little something," Gaten said, pointing to the sauce on my chin. I tried to lick it off, but it was too low.
"I got it," he said and wiped it off with his thumb. I looked at his eyes but then back down at my food. Millie shoved her elbow into me, teasing. I rolled my eyes again. On the inside though, I was melting. This boy was the sweetest boy I had ever met.
I smiled while playing with my fork, thinking about it.
"What's on your mind y/n?" Gaten asked, looking at my eyes.
"Oh nothing, doesn't matter," I said quickly. I didn't want to be clingy or too quick.
He nodded, though didn't seem satisfied. We talked and laughed for the rest of the dinner. It was the best day ever.

"Y/n come here I want to show you something!" Gaten called two days later. I followed him. We were really starting to bond. We stood in front of a carrier.
"Meet, Mattie! She's really nice."
I bent down, petting her nose through the holes. "Hi Mattie. I love animals their like -"
"Friends that don't judge!" we finished together.
We laughed. "Yeah, Kaylee's pretty easy to talk to though, no problem there."
"Oh really, is she your goldfish or something," he asked
"No, idiot, she's my best friend," I answered, hitting him lightly on the back of the head, knocking off his hat.
"Oh, I see. I thought I was your BFF!" he said, joking.
"I have known you for only a week, Gaten." I said.
"Wow, it feels like years!" We both flopped down on the couch together.
"Hey, you know, tomorrow is the premiere, are you excited!" I asked, looking at my nails that Millie painted last night.
"Yeah, but I'm more excited to start filming next week ." He looked at me, "great experiences."
"What is going to be your ' thing ' this season?"
"I don't know! It just comes to me," he closed his eyes, "nope, still nothing."
I laughed and he sighed.
"What?" I asked
"I just love your laugh, it's amazing!" He looked at me again. Then Noah walked in and we sat up.
"Hey Noah, how's it going?" asked Gaten, running a hand through his hair.
"Good, just bored." He sat down next to me. I smiled.
"Hey, could I invite Abby?" I said, trying to help her.
"I'm down," said Noah pretty quickly.
"Yeah that's sounds fun!" Gaten agreed. Mills, Finn, Sadie, and Caleb were all at a meeting about the first scenes, so we didn't need to ask them.

Me: hey, come to the condo. I'll send you the address of it. Noah and Gaten are the only ones here. Besides me of course 😜
BB: really, of course. I'll be there soon!

"She said she's on her way," I told them. Noah smiled. "Neat!"

Me: Noah's thinking of you😜

I turned off my phone, and got off the couch.
"Why are you leaving? It's so comfy!" Gaten said.
"I'm setting it up so we can have some fun," I told him. I grabbed some chips and put them in a bowl. I dimmed the lights and clipped light pink and orange blankets over them.
"There, now it looks fun." I threw blankets and pillows on the floor.

Mills(fillie!): hey what r u guys doing? We're coming back in two hours!
Me: we were having a get together with Abby
Mills(fillie!): OK! Sounds fun!

"That was Mills, she said their coming in two hours," I told them.
They nodded.

Group chat: strange girls!
Me: how's a sleepover sound!
BB: Yeah, great.
Mills(fillie!): sure, everyone's OK with that!
Kitchen sink: we are moving into trailers on Sunday, so yeah, let's do it!
Me: okay, great!

I heard a knock at the door! " it's Abby, I got it!" said Noah, going to the front door. Abby stepped in and high fives Noah.
"Hey Noah! Wow, I actually am talking to Noah Schnapp!" she said, freaking.
"Yep, you are, and it's a pleasure." She smiled and stepped around him.
"Y/n/n! What's up! The place looks nice! Its like a camping at sunset! I love it," she said, wearing a shirt that said 'I'd rather be reading'.
"BB! I am good. I love your shirt!" I took a deep breath, "let's start!"
I had pulled out lots of board games and dozens of movies to watch. "Fillie and Cadie are coming later." We both laughed about their ship names.
We all sat down in a circle, with three games in the middle. "Which first?" I asked.
"Twister!" Gaten said from my left.
"Yeah, okay!" Said Abby. We laid it down next to our fort thing. I started as spinner. "Blue, left hand." The colors drained on until Noah fell over Abby, making her fall. We laughed, but Abby was red as a tomato. Somehow, I had to get them together, but how?
