Nicole;

Brian wakes me up, "We're here."

He has Anna in his arms, I leave the car and get her stroller from the trunk.
"Why can't I just go to the mall or somewhere?" I ask.
"Don't be shy, they're cool people." He says.
"Um, do you want Starbucks? I can go get some." I try to stall/troll him.

This is kind of making me nervous. What if they don't like me? What if they think I'm a slut? What if they give me bad looks?
"Fine, I'll take Anna. I'll text you their orders." He says, taking out three ten dollar bills.
"Use your money if you need to use extra money, I'll pay you back." He hands me the Range Rover keys. Fuck yeah, I'm driving a cool car.
"Okay, bye."

<:>

After getting the drinks, I drive back to the FaZe House.

I text Brian to come help me with all the drinks.

I pull up the driveway and I see Brian waiting for me.

He takes half of the drinks and I take the other half.

He opens the door and I see all the guys recording a video.

I think they're making another Rock, Paper, Slap.

I put the drinks on the counter.

I see Banks in the game and RiceGum chilling with Anna.

Brian never mentioned they were coming too.

Maybe Alissa is here, or Sommer, or Carrington.

I walk over to Rice and he says, "Yo, Nicole. What's up?"
"Nothing much, how about you?" I sit next to him on the couch.
"I'm bored. I didn't want to be in the video because I was scared I would get slapped." He says, laughing at himself.
I hear feminine laughs behind me, "You pussy." The girls say in unison.

I turn around and see Alissa, Sommer, and Carrington.

Yay, I'm not the only girl here!
"Hey, I'm Alissa." Alissa says.
"I'm Sommer." Sommer says.
"And I'm Carrington." Carrington says.
"I'm Nicole, Rug's cousin." I introduce myself.

We talk about girl things.

Makeup, clothes, purses, shoes, and more.

The guys wrap up the video and go get their drinks.
Alissa sighs, "It's so boring here. Let's go somewhere else."
"Yeah, we should go somewhere fun." Sommer adds.
"A trampoline park?" Carrington asks.
"Yeah, let's go." Sommer says.

I ask Rice to babysit Anna, he says yes. Then we drive to the trampoline park.

<:>

We get back from the trampoline park. It was so fun.

All of them vlogged. And they are so nice.

It reminded me of my little friend group back home.

There was Inana, the smartest.

And Naomi, the dumbest.

And Evelyn, the prettiest.

And Sarah, the shyest.

We would call ourselves the 'Nines Squad'.

Nicole, Inana, Naomi, Evelyn, and Sarah ( NINES ).

There aren't nine of us, but it spells out the first letters of our names.

I know, cringey. We made it up when we were like 13.

Maybe Sommer, Carrington, and Alissa could be my new 'Nines Squad'...

But we definitely will not use that name because it's cringey and cheesy.

I'm so hype for Christmas! And how do you guys feel about Carrington Durham joining Clout Gang? I love it because I was a fan of her before she joined.
