after looking through my closet, i decided on a white cropped shirt and ripped mom jeans. i chose my brown combat boots to pair with the outfit, and pulled my hair into a bun.
"how do i looook?" i ask ethan, doing a twirl and pulling out the "o" in look.
"you look great. we're going to meet everyone at margot." ethan replies with a smile.
"okay, sounds good, i hope amber's ready." i say with a weird expression on my face, i forgot to tell her! luckily she always has her makeup done.
"hey, amber?" i call, peeking my head out of the bedroom door.
"yeah, tori?" she replies, eyes still glued to the screen.
"we're leaving for dinner at margot in about 10 minutes if you want to come."
"ok yeah i'll get changed and then we can go," she says, finally getting up from the couch. we switch spots, as she goes to her room and we sit on the couch to wait.
"hey ethan, can you take a picture of me?" i ask and he replies with a quiet groan. "pleaaaase?" i beg.
"fine," he says and gets up to take a picture. i give him my phone and pose, then he takes it. as soon as im satisfied with the picture, he returns back to the couch.

i post the picture and sit back down on the couch, and waiting on amber.
finally, amber returns from her bedroom with a cute striped jumper on. she paired it with some sandals and left her hair down, naturally wavy.
all four of us got up and into ethan's jeep. turns out, margot is extremely close to my apartment. it wasn't especially crowded for it being sunday night. we walk in and ethan walks to a table where his friends must've been sitting.
my jaw almost literally dropped at the two people sitting at the table—james charles and emma chamberlain.
they both stand up to greet ethan and grayson with a hug, and ethan steps aside to introduce us to eachother.
im immediately engulfed in a hug by james, then emma afterward. grayson, james, and emma sit on one side of the table, then i sit between ethan and amber on the other side.
"that's james fucking charles sitting across from you, t." amber leans over and whispers to me.
"you dont think i know that?" i whisper back.
"so tori, how do you and ethan know each other?" james asks from across the table.
"three years ago, i went on vacation in hawaii, and one day at the beach, we met, and for the following two weeks, we had a little fling, but never stayed in touch. im going to ucla now, and i just happened to run into him yesterday after breakfast. so we talked a little bit and now we're here." i summarized in a few long sentences.
"wow so you guys go way back," james replies.
"yeah, a little bit. your makeup looks really good tonight, by the way," i say, trying to start a conversation.
"omg thank you so much! yours looks really good too. i love the cut crease." he compliments me back.
"thanks," i say with a light chuckle, "it took me a few tries for my eyebrows to look even decent."
"what are you talking about? it took forever," ethan cuts into our conversation, earning a light punch in the arm from me. james and amber both let out a small laugh.
"hi there, i'm lily and i'll be your server today, can i get you anything to drink?" our waitress comes over, standing by our table.
"can i get a dr. pepper please?" i reply to her first, opening the menu to look for dinner options while everyone else orders their drinks.
"wow, tori i really love your nails," emma picks up my hand to look at them, "the color is so pretty. where'd you get them done?"
"oh i got them done back in jersey. i just moved here on friday." i say in response, emma dramatically pouting.
"well, we should get them done together sometime, that would be really fun." she replies.
"yeah that would be fun. amber and i were thinking about going soon anyway." i look over at amber and then back down to my menu, deciding what to eat.
lily comes back with our drinks and i can tell she's eyeing ethan. not that im jealous, becuase we arent dating... but i'm totally jealous.
i take a sip of my dr pepper, avoiding messing up my nude lipstick, and set the drink back down. i decide on shrimp fettuccine alfredo, so we all order.

after dinner, lily pulls ethan aside and says something to him quickly as she looks around, so i look away.
ethan joins us and we regroup, going back to our separate cars. as much as amber and i want to attend the sleepover everyone planned on having, we both have classes we have to go to tomorrow.
