aria's p.o.v.

it's been about 3 weeks since that little hangout jack, the boys, liv, kaylani and i have had, and jack has been pretty acting weird.

when i try to talk to him, he usually doesn't answer or just becomes really quiet in the conversation. and despite all of it, he keeps saying that he's okay.

i don't know much about boys, but i do know that when girls say they're okay, they really aren't.

so that's kind of what i'm thinking for jack right now. but like i said before, i really don't know much about boys.

aside from that, corbyn and i have become pretty close friends within this time being.

we've been talking and hanging out a lot, which makes me happy to have a friend that's as sweet as funny as him.

i'm knocked out of my thinking trance when liv taps my shoulder.

"whatcha thinkin' about, aria?" she asks from the back seat, as kaylani, liv, and i are in my car, heading to starbucks.

"just random stuff," i say, eyes back on the road.

"so, like, how you and jack are gonna soon be a thing?" kaylani casually asks.

i look at her, shocked. "no! just... other random stuff."

"mhm, ok. don't think we can't tell that you like him, though," liv says, a smug smirk on her face.

my face turns red, "n-no! i don't like him!" i say, a little too quickly. "maybe a little bit," i mumble afterwards.

"HAHAHA I HEARD THAT!" kaylani practically shouts, pointing a finger at me from the passenger seat.

"whatever," i say as i roll my eyes.

soon enough, i pull up to the starbucks parking lot as we all pile out, craving some kind of caffeine.

we enter inside of starbucks as kaylani leaves to go find a table.

we quickly order for ourselves, kaylani included, and wait for our names to be called for our drinks.

"kaylani, aria, and liv!" i hear the barista call out, as i walk over to get our drinks.

i hand liv her drink, as we walk over to the table kaylani got as we sit down. i hand kaylani her drink as she complains, "ugh! they spelled it wrong again!" she literally shoves the drink at me as i take a look at the cup. it was spelled k-a-l-a-n-e-y.

"well you still have the drink" i point out, handing kaylani her drink back.

"haha, they always get mine right," liv says, showing us her cup.

"well that's because you only have three letters in your name!" kaylani whisper-shouts at liv as liv shrugs.

i take a quick look at my own cup, but it's spelled like normal, so i don't say anything.

as liv and kaylani are talking about some random stuff about chicken nuggets, i take my phone out of my back pocket to find three texts from corbyn.

coRbiNe 😛: aria can i talk to you?

coRbiNe 😛: im not feeling my best right now and really need someone to talk to :(

coRbiNe 😛: aria?

i quickly type in a reply, as i can tell that he's stressed.

tHe aria enright 👑: is it that important?

i'm surprised to see a speech bubble with three dots in it at the bottom left corner. is it really that important that he replies so quickly?

coRbiNe 😛: to me, kind of :/

tHe aria enright 👑: ok. then not now. we'll facetime when i get out of this starbucks, ok?

coRbiNe 😛: okay

coRbiNe 😛: WAIT YOU WENT TO STARBUCKS WITHOUT ME??

i laugh at his last text as i reply.

tHe aria enright 👑: maybe ;)
