Seven

after three long hours of moving amber in, we finally finish, and order a pizza to celebrate. besides, who doesnt love pizza?

suddenly, my phone rings, and i see it's a call from one of those random numbers, the majority of them a scam.

i turn off my phone and put it on the marble island, then take another bite of pineapple pizza—my favorite.

josh left about an hour ago, when we finished moving amber in, and since then, we've done nothing, except dance around to music and eat pizza.

my phone starts ringing again, with the same number which is most likely a scam. i pick it up and see the number sent a text, too.

(213) 267-9932
Tori, it's ethan

Oh!! i forgot i gave him my number! im quick to reply, my nails tapping loudly on the screen.

Tori
ohh hi ethan

i put my phone down, and go through the pictures we took at the pink wall, putting filters from vsco on my favorites.

"tori im boreddd," amber groans, whining, "can we watch a movie?"

i smile at her, "sure what do you wanna watch?" i open netflix on the tv and get comfy on the couch with a fuzzy blanket.

"i dont know." she replies.

"wow you're so helpful." i say sarcastically, "how about riverdale?"

"i already watched it all." she replies, being tough on purpose.

my phone buzzes again, and i know its from ethan.

e-tee-wee-tee
wanna meet up? gray
and i just finished
shooting our video

tori
sure, amber and i were
just about to watch a movie
if you want to come over

e-tee-wee-tee
yeah sure, just send me
your address and gray and
i will be over with snacks :)

he's so sweet. wait no, what am i thinking? i barely know him anymore. i send him my address anyway and tell amber they're coming over, which she's fine with.

soon, the doorbell rings, and im slow to get up from my comfortable spot on the couch. but i do it anyway, because its been three years, hes had a huuuuuuge glow up, and hes rich, AND hes famous.

i open the door and see ethan and grayson standing there, both with a grocery bag full of snacks.

we walk inside and i sit back down in the same spot i was before. i pat the couch for ethan and grayson to come sit, after taking off their shoes.

"nice place," ethan comments, looking around.

"thanks, i just got it on friday, and amber moved in today." i reply, looking at the last few boxes we have to unpack, "what do you guys wanna watch?"

"i heard bandersnatch is good," ethan replies with a grin. "its a horror movie, but you choose your own adventure."

"i dont know," i say in protest to his idea, before grayson and amber agree excitedly.

"come on, it'll be fun," ethan says to me, grabbing my hand and squeezing it tightly, i swear, everytime we touch. i nod and open up one of the grocery bags, getting out some hot cheetos.

we start the movie, and i'm immediately afraid. i finished my cheetos already, so i hid my nose down under the blanket, pulling it up to my eyes when i got scared.

there weren't any jumpscares, but the way the character would act was freaking me out. he knew there was someone controlling him, and it was scary.

ethan made me pull down the blanket because it was "ruining the experience." not sure what that meant, but i did what he said anyway.

watching the movie, i couldnt help but think im moving too fast with ethan. i haven't dated in a while, so maybe itwas just the thought that s guy liked me. ethan and i are chill, and i dont know if i should've invited him. too late now, though.

we finally get through the movie, but everyone wants to go back and look at the other endings. i think theyre crazy, but im curious, too.

i excuse myself quietly to get a (sister)soda. i get up from my warm spot on the couch and into the empty kitchen. i got a soda from the fridge, and opened it. i leaned against the counter and looked at my phone until i feel myself being watched.

i look up hesitantly, and see its only ethan. i jump a little bit, scared.

"oh my god ethan, you scared the shit outta me!" i whisper-yell, not wanting to interrupt the movie amber and grayson were still watching.

"sorry, t," ethan replies smoothly, giving me a new nickname, and i like it a lot. i smile back and turn back to my phone, seeing notifications popping up on my instagram.
