     I wake up to a blinding light shining in my eyes. Damnit it's morning.

     "What's the point of blinds if they don't keep the sun out of my room?" I ask myself before hearing a loud crash. I jump out of my bed and run into my living room. "WHAT HAPPENED WHO DIED?" I yell  before I realize I live alone in my apartment. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY DID YOU BREAK IN?" I yell when I see someone in my kitchen.

     "Well at least you didn't call me bitch this time." She says turning around. Aye! It's Melanie!

     "BITCH I MISSED YOU!" I yell running over to hug her.

     "And there it is." She says laughing and hugging me back. Melanie is my cousin, I love her because she puts up with my craziness and I put up with hers.

     "BITCH WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU LIVE IN LA!" I scream at her again. I scream a lot.

     "Well you know how my boyfriend and his band are on tour? Well I went with them and now we're in New York and the tour bus broke down so we're in New York for the next two or three weeks while they fix the bus and the tour is delayed now. So how are you? How's your gap year going?" She explains.

     "It's good. I still don't know what college I want to go to and I have to decide by next month." I tell her. "SO WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO FIRST?"

     "I WANNA SEE CHRISTINA!" She yells.

     "Just let me get changed." I tell her.

     "No time if I don't get there before Corbyn I won't get to see her at all." She says pulling me out the door. "Besides you're wearing sweatpants and a hoodie you look fine."

     She pulls me into the uber she has waiting outside somehow and gives the driver the directions. After a few minutes we pull up and she's dragging me again. When we get to Christina's she just barges in.

     "CHRISTINA!" She yells when she opens the door.

     "MELANIE!" Christina yells running over and tackling her to the ground. "I MISSED YOU!"

     "I MISSED YOU MORE!" Melanie screams.

     "I thought you were on tour?" Tina asks getting up. Melanie explains the situation to her like she did for me.

     "Is no one gonna acknowledge my presence?" I ask.

     "Shut up I saw you yesterday." Tina says hitting my arm.

     "Hey, that's, well accurate." I say. Suddenly the door barges open again.

     "Did I beat her? Did I win?" Corbyn shouts entering the room.

     "TOO LATE BEAN!" Melanie shouts throwing her arms around Christina again.

"CORBEAN!" I shout seeing the unnatural blonde again after a couple months.

"Did everybody beat me here?" He asks.

"Nice to see you too Corbitch." I tell him.

"Hey Kate." He says quickly hugging me before stealing Christina from Melanie's arms.

"Kate lets go. I want you to meet the boys. Let's let the love birds alone." Melanie says dragging me away.

"Quit dragging me." I tell her. "AND USE PROTECTION!" I yell over my shoulder to Corbyn and Christina.

"YEAH WE ALREADY HAVE ONE CORBYN RUNNING AROUND WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER!" Melanie screams.

"So where are we going?" I ask her.

"Well you already met Zach and Corbyn so you just need to meet Jonah Jack and Daniel." She tells me.

"Ok." I say. I've learned it's better to just go along with whatever crazy plan Melanie always has. "But first I need to go to the store. Text me the address and I'll meet you there in about an hour." I tell her.

"Fiiiiiinnnnnnne." She says dragging out the i and n. "But if you're late you owe me ice cream!" She yells walking to wherever while I turn to walk to the store.

     After a while I'm shopping for food because, well food. Enough said. Anyway I'm by the watermelon display about to pick up what I have concluded is the perfect watermelon when another set of hands pick it up at the same time. I look over and see a guy with brown hair and bright blue eyes.

     "Oh I'm sorry." He says letting go of the watermelon. He looks down and I think I see him blushing.

     "It's fine." I say. He picks up a different watermelon and puts it in his cart while I put mine in my cart. "I'm Kate."

     "I'm Daniel." He says looking up at me. Damn those eyes. "Uh Kate, um, well, you see..."

     "What is it?" I ask smiling.

     "I uh, I wanted to see if maybe, uh, man I suck at this." He continues whispering the last part. "I was wondering if maybe I could get your number?" He asks. Well, he does meet all my requirements. Male, likes watermelon, seems nice, why not?

     "Sure." Say handing him my phone.

     He types in his number before thanking me and I turn to finish my shopping. I look at his contact and see he put his contact name as 'Daniel'. Well that's no fun. I quickly change his name to 'Watermelon Boy🍉'. That's better. I finish buying food and go back to my apartment to put it away before I start heading over to the place Melanie texted me the address of.
