Iris.james: esme and zack convinced me to take a day off and go to universal studios. don't be fooled by the 'smile' on my face. i'm still not happy about zack leaving me for his bf.

💫

Iris grabbed her backpack and put a water bottle inside. She walked downstairs and saw esme and zack waiting for her. Esme was excited because a guy she was talking to was joining them. So was Timothy.

"Let's go," iris said and got her keys out to lock her apartment. The three of them walked to iris' car. "Can we go to the walking dead attraction first? I really want Timothy to be scared for once in his freaking life! That bitch doesn't fear anything." Zack complained.

"Except marriage." Esme laughed.

Zack saw a future with Timothy, but he was afraid that Timothy didn't see one with him. "Shut it, you disgusting short person!"

Iris laughed at their behavior. "I love our friendship. Oh wait, you guys left me."

They got inside the car. Esme in the passenger seat and zack in the back. "Do you even remember how you got drunk? You keep blaming us for leaving you, but we didn't get you drunk. Explain, you bitchy redhead." Zack glared at her.

"That I don't know. So i guess it's half your fault. Still haven't decided. Maybe Lexi Anderson got me drunk."

The ride to universal studios consisted of esme and zack belting out the lyrics to 'iris' and tried their best to annoy iris.

"Look! It's my boyfriend who is going to marry me!" Zack waved to Timothy as he saw him leaning against a wall. "Suck on that, esme."

Esme flicked him off and walked towards iris, who was locking her car. "You know when I said zack and Timothy weren't going to last? I think it's going to happen much later than I thought."

The redhead saw zack and Timothy kiss before zack dragged his boyfriend towards the entrance. "Maybe they will last. People may surprise you." Iris nudged esme before grabbing her sunglasses from her backpack and putting them on.

"Maybe. You surprise me every day." Esme said which caught iris off guard.

"What do you mean?" Iris asked confused.

"Ever since your last relationship, you forgot everything about him. You don't bring him up, all of your important dates about him, you don't get mention them. I wish that was me. Instead, it's not." Esme said with a sad tone. She looked like she was about to cry, but iris grabbed a hold of her hand and squeezed it.

Esme turned her gaze to iris. "I never thought about that, now that you say that, it's surprising me too. I think what I'm trying to say is that you have to surround yourself with amazing people. Now let's go forget about boys."

Both girls laughed and made it to the entrance. "Do you ever think you're going to give that guys hoodie back?" Esme asked.

"Maybe if he asks for it. That hoodie is really comfortable."

Joe was craving pizza. But he was very specific with his pizza. He wanted the pizza from the Jurassic café. Gwilym thought he was being a 'bratty child' for wanting that specific food.

"Why can't you just get donuts or a burger? Why Jurassic park pizza?" Rami asked as gwilym and ben looked at every ride amazed.

"I don't know! But while we're here, might as well get on the rides." Joe smiled and saw the Jurassic park café. "I can smell it already."

All four men raced to the café. Joe was the first to get in line, taking out his wallet in the process. "Okay, I'm getting my pizza. What about you guys?" He turned to his friends.

"Nothing. We ate already." All three of them said to joe.

"You guys are making me feel like a lonely, food obsessed guy whose girlfriend dumped him. I kinda like it, cause you know? Food." Joe snorted at his attempt to joke.

"We get it, bud. Now go get your pizza. We'll be waiting outside." Ben said.

Joe waited patiently in line. To pass time, he played games on his phone, but he was still bored of waiting. "Next!" The cashier said.

"Hi, I would like three slices of pizza. That's all." Joe said to the cashier.

"Yes, and can I get a salad? That's all. Thank you." Joe heard a familiar voice beside him. He turned to the female voice and saw the girl he gave his hoodie to. Iris james.

"Oh my god!" Joe whispered to himself. "She's here, she's actually here. Holy shit." He thought to himself. Joe tried to get her attention by clearing his throat but iris still didn't look at him.

As the cashier came back with Joe's pizza, joe thanked the cashier and saw iris leaving too. Joe tried not to look suspicious and followed her to where she was going. Iris was walking to where Zack and Timothy were.

Joe quickly walked to where ben, rami and gwilym were standing. "You guys remember when I told you about the girl who I had to take home and I gave her my hoodie? She's here!"

Ben started to laugh. "She's here? What are you gonna do? Ask for your hoodie back? She probably doesn't even have it."

Joe was about to throw his pizza at ben, but remembered that he was hungry and he was craving pizza. "No, but I'll talk to her? I have no idea what I'm going to do."

Gwilym looked over at iris and her friends. "Sorry I have to do this to you, joe."

"What? Wait what are you doing?"

"Hey redhead!" Gwilym yelled loudly towards iris making rami, ben and him run.

Iris turned around and saw joe standing awkwardly not knowing what to do. "Oh god, zack, it's him!"

"Huh? Today is a great day to be you. First you get free food from the cashier and now this? What's your secret?" Zack asked sarcastically.

"I'll be right back." Iris said before walking towards joe.

"She's going to get laid before the end if the night, just watch." Timothy said.

"No. She's not. She's not going to get laid." Zack said with confidence.

"Wanna bet?"

"No because I'm always right."
