BOOK 1 IN THE PRETTY SHINING PEOPLE SERIES
song of the chapter: blankets and bedding - come from away
✦✧✦✧
Tom watched as Martina kept on petting a random dog outside the coffee shop they had gone to while on their break. if it weren't for her huge love for pets, this plan would already be dust. Zendaya took a discreet step so that her body shielded Tom's while he quickly created the group.
"she has Michelle Obama's number?"
"focus, Stanley."
"And Lin Miranda's??"
"they worked together for a while, add him to the list."
the girl tried very hard to remain calm. it was realistic for her to have such numbers, given how she was incredibly involved with social works but that didn't make things less shocking.
"okay, I'm done."
✦ Martina has created a group chat
