"rylee, wake up," christina whispered, shaking her friend lightly.

rylee groaned, rolling over before opening one eye slightly. "what."

christina put her hands up as if she was surrendering before letting out a little laugh. "well it's around 11, i just wanted to let you know i'm gonna be out with corbyn today. and also don't forget to post your video." she said.

rylee gave her a thumbs up, not wanting to speak right as she just woke up. christina giggled saying goodbye as she gathered her stuff and headed out.

rylee sighed, grabbing her phone and checking her notifications to see jack had texted her.

so corbyn and christina are hanging out today.. we could hang out if you want? so you're not lonely? 😂

the green eyed girl smiled a little before replying.

sounds good, just let me know when and where. :)

she opened instagram, scrolling through and checking her other social media's before pulling her laptop out, deciding to just post her video now.

once her video was in the process of uploading, she placed it to the side, placing her hands on her face to rub her eyes, stretching and looking out of the window and just looking for a moment.

her phone went off, signaling she had a text message but just stared outside for a moment or two before finally picking it up and checking the message.

you could come here, the other guys are here & we could see just how good you really are at fortnite? :))

once again rylee found herself smiling as she began to type back.

sounds like fun. could we also maybe get some food?

pretty quickly she got a reply, giving her a yes to her question and letting her know to come whenever and sending the address.

she got up, heading towards the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth that currently were covered with her retainer.

cleaning herself up somewhat, she looked around the room for her glasses, finally finding them on the small side table between the two beds. she put them on, heading towards her suitcase, deciding on something simple for the day since she wasn't exactly planning on doing much.

eventually she was dressed and checked on her video to see if it was almost finished uploading and was happy to see it was.

grabbing her bag, she placed whatever she may need inside, putting on some chapstick and throwing it in, doing whatever else she needed to do before she could head out.

sending a quick text to let jack know she was on her way, she took one more quick glance in the mirror, frowning slightly but just shaking it off, sighing as she walked out the door.

"hello, nice to see you again." zach said oddly polite as he opened the door, inviting rylee in.

she furrowed her eyebrows before thanking him and laughing a little, greeting him as well.

"hey rylee!" daniel said quite loudly from the couch, giving her a smile.

she smiled back, giving him a wave and saying hi to jonah as well.

"hello!" jack called from close behind her, making her jump and turn around quickly.

"geez, you scared me," she said, laughing a little as she tried to calm her speeding heart.

"sorry," jack shrugged laughing before opening his arms for a hug. "hey rylee."

"hey," she smiled, hugging him back.

"so we gonna play fortnite?" he asked, pulling back and motioning over to the tv, near where all the boys were seated.

rylee nodded, giving him another smile as she walked with him over towards the couch.

"oh, what kind of food did you want? we could postmate it or something?" jack questioned, grabbing the controller and turning on the console.

rylee shrugged, looking to the other boys. "whatever you guys all want, i really eat anything."

daniel groaned, looking towards rylee. "you're our guest, you get to pick." he told her, giving her a smile afterwards.

"um? pizza?" she said unsurely. "if you guys like pizza, or even want it. i'm okay with anything." she added quickly.

jack smiled mostly to himself but also at how cute he found rylee.

"pizzas fine with me, how about you guys?" jonah said, looking around to see everyone with nodding heads.

jonah began ordering the pizza as jack set up the game, daniel making comments and talking to him every now and then while zach was on his phone, looking at the tv every now and then.

"so i was thinking, rylee first?" jack suggesting, smiling as he handed her the controller.

rylee gave him a playful sarcastic smile as she accepted the controlled. "gee thanks." she mumbled.

starting the game, she received many comments from the boys, telling her places she should land.

"okay okay geez. i'm not landing there, do you want me to die as soon as i start?" she asked, laughing.

"i think anywhere you land you will," zach told her.

rylee gasped dramatically, frowning. "that's harsh. i'll have you know i'm actually pretty good, you just have to have faith in me." she said.

the game began, the boys yelling as they were trying to help her out and tell her what to do.

"i can't shoot him! i can barely aim so let me stay in hiding!" she said, walking the opposite way.

"okay, let me see the controller and i'll help you." jack replied.

"that's cheating," rylee joked, giving him a smile.

"hand me it!" jack somewhat yelled and laughed at the same time as another played began to shoot her.

rylee let go of it, letting jack take control, him being to late and being killed.

rylee sighed, shaking her head in disappointment. "gee thanks for getting me killed." she said, trying to hide her smile.

"you did that to yourself!" jack exclaimed, laughing.

they both paused looking at one another, still smiling before jonah announced the pizza was there taking the two of them out of their trance, getting up to grab some pizza.
