the next morning, i awake to my alarm clock blaring off at 9:30. i throw myself out of bed and lean over to my desk to turn it off. i then unplug my phone from its charger and carry it with me outside. "morning paige," i mumble to my sister, who's sitting on the couch watching an episode of friends. she waves her hand in return. i head into the kitchen, entering our walk-in pantry to grab a box of cereal. i pour it into a bowl with some milk, and sit down on the couch to eat it, watching tv next to paige for the next half hour.

"what time is the cast party tonight?" she asks, her eyes still fixed on the screen.

"it starts at six. we're eating there and there's not really a set time to leave," i answer.

"so what'd you get everyone?"

oh crap. i completely forgot that gaten, caleb, finn, noah, sadie, and i were getting each other gifts.

"oh, see, i kinda... forgot about that,"i raise my eyebrows.

paige rolls her eyes. "well you've gotta get them something! come on, get dressed and we'll go pick something out."

i groan, getting off the couch and making my way into my room. i hastily pull on a t-shirt and some denim shorts, with converse as my shoes. in my bathroom, i put my hair into a bun, then apply a minimal amount of makeup.

i come out of my room almost the same time as paige comes out of hers. "ready?"

i nod, slipping my phone in my pocket and heading towards the door.

the first store we go to is sephora, to get sadie some makeup. i fill a small bag with different kinds of beauty products, and check that out. there we go, one down, four to go.

i know exactly what to get finn, but the store for that is farther away, so paige and i decide to go there last.

we head over to a sports store to try and find something for caleb. i end up just getting him a pair of nike shoes.

we then stop at best buy, and i pick up gaten an iPhone screen projector, because for the past few days, he's been talking about how cool they were.

then it's off to target to find something for noah. he's been my friend for a while, so i want to get him something nice. i search the entire store, and i still can't find anything that he would like. i finally settle to get him a big basket of candy and writing him a note to stick in there.

the last stop we make is a record store. i pick out a record for finn, putting that in the large bag that i brought for everyone's gifts. "you gonna get finn anything else? since, like, he's your boyfriend," paige remarks as our uber arrives.

"yeah. i'm gonna write noah a note to give to him with his present, and i have something in mind for finn."

once we arrive back at our condo, i take the bag straight into my room, getting started immediately. i yank out two sheets of paper from my desk drawer, opening a pen. first, i write noah's note. i write him a pretty long note about how grateful i am for our friendship. i fold it up, tucking it inside of an envelope with "noah" written on the front. then i try to figure something out for finn. after several minutes of thinking, i get an idea. i grab a binder off of my desk- i really don't know why it's there- and get to work. i type in the password to my phone, opening my photos and going to my "finn" album. i select about a dozen of my favorite pictures of us together and print them out.

"what's that?" paige shouts as the printer begins to go off.

"i'm printing something for finn," i explain, collecting the pictures one by one as they spew out of the printer. once all of the pictures are done, i carry them back to my room. i grab another few sheets of paper, taping two pictures on each sheet. underneath the picture is where i write a quick explanation of what we were doing in it. at the very end, i write in big letters, "i love you. love millie" with a heart. i hole punch all six sheets of paper, then slide them into the rings of the binder.
