"laughing makes everything easier, funnier and happier,

especially when you do it with your best friends,"

"they are so noisy!" lauren complained as she stuffed her fingers into her ears, walking back into her room where me, brynn and annie were gathered. she had just gone to johnny's room to tell him and nadia to shut up. they were doing-. actually you know what? i don't want to know. so much for having a manicure appointment (i'm sure johnny can do a perfect manicure).

i chuckled at lauren's pissed of expression while annie looked on calmly, as if that happens everyday. i frowned at her. there was really so much about this girl that i don't know about.

suddenly, annie looked up at me and inspected me with that piercing gaze of hers, scanning me up and down, and that made me squirm under her gaze.

"how do you know johnny?" she asked, sounding a little protective that i was taken aback. does she like him?

"um, i kinda slapped him yesterday when he insulted brynn," i started, before adding hastily, "its okay if you like him, i don't want to fight with you for him, i don't like him at all,"

at my words, annie laughed, a ringing sound while lauren couldn't help but crack a smile too.

"don't worry, annie doesn't like johnny at all, he's all yours," lauren winked at me as i groaned. beside me, brynn gave me the look, as if saying i told you so. high-fiving brynn, lauren continued, "by the way, the slap was great, you guys saw it right?"

"yeah, you've got punk," annie agreed brightly as i grinned.

"totally, we may seem super mean to john but actually his really sweet, inside," lauren said as annie rolled her eyes.

lauren rolled her eyes, copying annie and i laughed, glad that someone supported me. suddenly, lauren and annie looked at each other, as if having a silent agreement between themselves. what was happening?

suddenly, lauren opened her mouth to speak.

"well, i'll leave annie to tell you about their relationship, come on, brynn," upon saying that, lauren stood up and started walking out, with brynn trailing in her wake, shooting me curious looks. i shrugged helplessly at her.

"well, kenzie, i just want to say something. to be honest, its unusual for johnny to like become friends with you so fast," she said cautiously, smiling reassuringly at my surprised expression. don't populars get friends easily? what was annie implying?

"johnny doesn't trust people easily, kenzie, so he hardly has many closed friends," annie explained patiently but i scrunched up my eyebrows, deep in thought.

"what about brandon?" i asked curiously. how did brandon seem to gain johnny's trust?

"it's because brandon is patient and understanding, a good friend. they have been friends since young," annie said and i nodded. interesting.

"what about you?" i finally blurted out, hoping i didn't sound rude, but to my disappointment, she shook her head, a smile tugging at her lips.
