-Jayden's POV-
      We watch some movies on Netflix until it's getting late and most of us are half asleep.

      "What about lesson two or whatever?" Kenzie mumbles. We're all sprawled out on the floor struggling to keep our eyes open.

"Oh yeah" I sigh, my face buried in the carpet.

"You guys remember when that dumbass posted that Jayden and I are together and you were flipping your shit?" Annie says, staring up at the ceiling.

"Yeah...dumbass." Lauren chuckles at her brand new vocabulary.

"You all need to stop caring so much about what other people think."

"It's hard sometimes. Like, I feel great, and then some bitch makes me question myself. Most of the time I can't really keep it from getting to me, so I just do my best to be perfect." Kenzie says quietly.

"I get it. But I've been made fun of for quite a while now, and I've gotten used to it. Once you make fun of me, I just decide that you're a dumbass who wants to put other people down on purpose. They don't know why they're wrong. If they're that stupid, they don't deserve my time."

"True." I say simply. Kenzie nods and Lauren yawns before speaking.

"Speaking of that incident on Monday, what's going on with you two? I know it's nosy of me to say, but we both want to know. We saw you holding hands when you came back from the bathroom, and of course when we came in today. So what's happening?" Lauren asks.

"You want the 'tea'? For the first time in so long I think I've actually found people I trust. I don't know why exactly, but I trust all of you after only about two weeks of knowing you. I know it's probably going to bite me later, because you'll all realize that you don't want to hang out with a loser, but I don't care. I don't really feel that awkward around any of you, including Sky. I guess I just feel extra non-awkward around Jayden. I'm not sure what's going on either, but I'm a single lesbian either way." Annie shrugs.

"I trust you too. You're already one of my best friends." Lauren says. I see Annie trying to hide a smile.

"This is probably crossing a line, but what did you guys talk about in the bathroom?" Kenzie asks.

      Annie sits up next to me.

"I wanted to tell her that we shouldn't be friends anymore because I'm a bad influence on all of you, which I guess is still true since Lauren just said ass without being told to, but then she tried to make me feel better since part of it was me feeling like I was giving up on my brother. Then I was confused why she really cared about me after only knowing me for a week and she told me she liked me." She teases.

"Stooooop. You said it back." I sigh deeply.

Lauren gasps dramatically.

"My ship!" Kenzie exclaims brightly.

"Well now I'm not tired anymore." I sit up and lean against the foot of my bed.

"Same." Lauren says as she and Kenzie both join us in sitting upright.

"Well what are we gonna do now? I don't feel like watching anything else." Lauren questions.

"I have no idea but it has to be quiet so we don't wake up my mom." I sigh in response.

"Don't look at me. Y'all are the sleepover experts here." Annie throws her hands up.

"Whatever. Lauren, truth or dare?" Kenzie shifts toward the blonde.
