Masquerade

V E I N T E

    Morgan, Bre and I were staying at Bre's aunt's house for two more days before going back. We though.
     "You know, you three could always just live with me. It's lonely in a giant five bedroom five bath house with only one person."
      All three of us looked at eachother, wide eyed and Bre started fiddling with the bracelet that Zach gave her. She did that when she was nervous now.
      The thought of being able to see Daniel everyday made Isa happy.
     The thought of being able to see Jonah everyday made Morgan so happy she almost cried. The three girls shared a single look and a quick nod before telling Bre's aunt that they would love to.
    The three girls each lived on their own. Their parents had either died or left them. They didn't mind though. It strengthened their bond with their best friends.
    None of the girls really had anything at their old house except for clothes which could all be replaced. So of course, they went shopping.

   After they got back from their shopping trip, at least three bags in each of their hands, Bre locked herself in the bathroom to FaceTime her boyfriend and tell him the news.

FaceTime is connecting...

   She smiled as she always did. Talking to him made her happy. His face popped up on the screen and he immediately looked confused.
    "Are you in a bathroom? Shouldn't you be driving home?" He asked and I smiled.
"I am home." He looked at me with a confused look in his eyes.
    He shakes his head. "It takes 48 hours to drive from LA to Maine. I googled so I'd know when to call you to ask if you got home safe. There's no way-" I smile.
    "We're staying in L.A." his face lights up and I hear voices yelling in the background and smile slightly.
    "How long? Like, a couple days, or a week, maybe?" I laugh and roll my eyes at him and he cocks his eyebrows.
      "We're staying in La. We're going to live with my aunt." His eyes widen and his face goes from a confused look to very happy when all of a sudden he's shoved out of the way and Jonah and Daniel appear on the screen.
     "All three of you?" Jonah asks, and I decide to play a prank on them. I start screen recording. I let my face fall sad and I shake my head. I look at the two and they look very sad all of a sudden.
      "Isa and Morgan said they have no business staying here. They have to get home to the boys they have a crush on." I laugh a little when I see the two's faces.
     "W-what?" Daniel asks and for a moment I feel bad. The I remembered he gave me a watermelon for my birthday.
    Suddenly I don't feel bad anymore. I nod. "Yeah. They're really cute and they like them back. They told me they're going to ask them out when they get back." Zach, Corbyn and Jack caught on and were dying of laughter in the background. Daniel got up and left and Jonah just sat there contemplating life.
   "That was amazing. You should've seen your face!" I laugh at Jonah and he looks up in shock. "Yes. They're living here too. I wouldn't leave them."
    She stops screen recording and Jonah is pushed out of the way all of a sudden and Zach comes back into view, scowling at the oldest.
     "That was a good one. He deserved it." Bre sensed a hint of coldness in his voice in the last three words but she ignored it.
     Jonah tried to come back in the frame. "Go talk to your girlfriend." She said and his eyes widened and he looked down.
     "Morgan won't answer." He said and then walked away and her eyes widened.
     "Are they-" Zach shrugged.

"We're not dating! Shut up!" Jonah yelled down the stairs and everyone laughed.
