Masquerade

D I E C I S I E T E

Did you sleep good last night after you got to the hotel?

Yes. I have a question.

If your question is "When are we going to tell them?" Then the answer is I don't know.

Ugh. You know me so well. We've only know each other for like two weeks what-

Breanna and Zach were cut off from their texts by Morgan walking up to Breanna and trying to see over her shoulder.
"None of your business!" Bre said, playfully smacking Morgan with her phone.
"Ow. Not nice." Morgan frowns, rubbing her arm that Bre had hit only a couple seconds earlier.
"Children. Children." I said, rolling my eyes, walking out of the dressing room, pulling down the dress they were making me try on. It was really short.

It only went down to my mid thigh and that was definitely short for me. Luckily, my best friends are great and didn't make me get the one that was two piece.
I obviously didn't like showing that much skin. I was very modest for a nineteen year old. What was happening right now, is we're all buying dresses for Bre's seventeenth birthday party. I went first and now it was Morgan's turn.

I was not happy hers got to be so long and mine was so short. They knew I hated short dresses. Oh well.
Breanna was the only one who had a two piece. It looked good on her. I'm all honesty, we all looked good.

"Why am I the one who shows the most skin?" I huff and look down. They smile. Breanna talks first.
"Because you, are picking up a boyfriend." She smiles at me as I blush. Morgan continues her sentence.
"We are on the verge of having boyfriends." Morgan smiles as she finishes the sentence and Bre laughs.
Bre was hiding something. Maybe she thought she could hide it, but I'd find out. We were taking our little road trip to LA, to Breanna's aunt's house for her seventeenth birthday party.
She had a bunch of friends in LA due to going there every summer for at least a month everytime, so she had plenty of people to come to her party.
And yes. The Why Don't We boys were coming. And yes. I would have to see Daniel.
The party was in a week and it would only take seventeen hours to drive from Texas to LA, so we were good. We were driving all today which is why we woke up at four o'clock to get ready, then we went dress shopping, and here it is, only five o'clock still, and we all already had picked out our dress.
    So we set off. We were all pretty rested so we decided to just drive our 5 hours and 30 minutes without switching out. Bre was starting to get it over with and Morgan and I were in the back talking about what we got her for her birthday.
   "So we each got her the same thing, but different design?" I laugh at the thought and Morgan nods.
    After Bre's 5 hours were up it was Morgan's turn. So Bre pulled over and climbed in the back with me and Morgan went to drive.
    "Spill the beans, sister sister, what'd she get me for my birthday?" She asks me as soon as we start moving and I laugh at her.
  "It's... a surprise!" Then I fake gasp and she rolls her eyes and crosses her arms.
  "Oh boohoo, you'll find out in a week anyway." She nods, muttering a small "I guess." before playing on her phone and starting to text someone.
Well if she wants to text someone, I'll text someone. I pick up my phone and pull it out and am about to text Daniel but my phone dings with a text from Zach and I almost drop it in shock.

You got her a necklace right?

I'm gonna get her a bracelet. Unless you got her a bracelet. Then I'm gonna get her a necklace.

Should I get her something better?

I feel like she deserves so much more. 😔

Zach, calm down. She will love anything you get her. But yes, Morgan and I both got her a necklace.

Okay. Thanks. Good talk.

We barely even talked- whatever. You're welcome.

Then I text Daniel, which was my mission all along, I pick up my phone and it dings from a text from Daniel.
This time, I do drop my phone. I pick it back up and huff in annoyance. "Sheesh." I mutter under my breath.

Zach is freaking out.

He really wants to get her something nice.

Awe my heart

He's gonna get her a bracelet. Let me guess, that was your idea?

How did you know? 😂

Daniel and I texted for the next five more hours, until it was my turn to drive. Morgan and I switched places and I heard Bre ask Morgan the same question she asked me.
"spill the tea sister, what did Isa get me for my birthday?" And I hear Morgan tell her the exact same thing I told her. Well maybe not the exact thing I told her. Truth be told I don't even remember the exact words I told her. I just know Morgan said
"It's only seven more days, more like six since this one is almost over. You can wait." And something inside of me just knew that Bre rolled her eyes at what Morgan had said.
I hop into the driver seat and put my seatbelt on before beginning to drive the last five hours.
