BOOK 1 IN THE PRETTY SHINING PEOPLE SERIES
"is it weird some of my closest friends are nearly a decade younger than me?" as they had went back to the us, Zendaya suggested a girl's night in. production had been pretty much non stop for weeks, leaving all of them in dire need of spare time.
"maybe." Angourie remarked. "but I say this eating popcorn with ketchup, so who knows?"
Martina felt a bit guilty because other than Jake, who had managed to become closer to her, she had kept everyone at arms length. her rational brain thought it would make it hurt less when this was over, people wouldn't be missed as much but who cared? May decided it would be better to hurt and not regret missed opportunities. So there she was with two younger girls, braiding their hairs at three in the morning while Brooklyn 99 played on tv. only Angie and Zendaya were needed on set right now so they were in charge of figuring out just what was going on between Jake and her.

Nina and Cassie were dying for updates, whether it came from them or from the other group in a hotel room. as the saying went: divide and conquer. Tom had promised May not to meddle with her love life but even his mom could see there was potential for something between Jake and her. so no one would meddle, they would only give gentle pushes in the right direction.
"truth or dare?" Jacob asked Tom. so maybe it was late and half of their other party was gone already (Aaron had rehearsals and Jeremy had a young child) but the boys refused to sleep.
"dare."
"I dare both of you to shut up and go to sleep." Jake was exasperated by them and their constant nagging about Martina.
sure, she was pleasant to the eye, incredibly funny, shared in his profession so there was another level of understanding and would probably get along greatly with his sister but... there was not buts, he did have feelings for her that were more than friendly but it wouldn't be good to act upon them for now. he was going to wait for filming to end before anything.
"you, sir, are no fun."

hey, if your night was anything like mine then you must be needing some coffee
both of the younger boys were still asleep, as were the girls. and while they wouldn't act on their feelings just yet, Jake and Amy decided to walk the line.
