It's about 6 PM and we stop once again. This time to get some food. "Alright guys you have about 45 minutes to get yourself some food. If you want you can bring it back on the bus to eat, but when you do, please put your garbage in the bins. We're making one more stop in about 15 minutes to get the last person and then we drive to your first place. Thank you" the bus driver announces, and we all get out of the bus and walk inside Burger King. I walk with Avani, Payton and Sam. "Hey i was wondering, should we get something for Noen to eat too?" i ask while walking inside, and they look at me. "Mhm i don't know maybe he already ate? You could ask him though" Sam answers, and i shake my head. "I don't know him, i don't have his number" i explain. "Oh Chase does, yo Chase!" Payton tells me, and signs for Chase (Hudson) to come over. "Yo wassup" he asks us, and i explain to him what i was saying. "Good thinking, i'll give you his number" he answers, and i thank him while he searches for Noen's number. He shows me and i put him into my contacts. "Thank you!" i say to him, before he goes back to where he was standing. We wait a little to order so we know if he want food too or not. I just texted him.
Noen
Me: Hi Noen! It's Sarah Hossler, i'm from tour. We're having food right now and since it's only a 15 minutes drive to your house i was wondering if you'd like us to order something for you too? See you in a few 🥳
Noen: Actually i'd really appreciate that, i'm fine with some fries and a drink though. Thank you so much for thinking about me and i can't wait to meet you! 😁
Me: No problem i gotchu! Can't wait either 😎
When he answers a few minutes later, we get in line to get ourselves some food too. I order for Noen too and put it aside while eating mine at the table with Sam, Avani and Payton. We're ready before we had to get back, so i only have to take Noen's food with me. We all sit down on our places again and i place the food on the seat next to me. A few minutes later we start driving again and i'm just on my phone for a second.
Not even 15 minutes later the bus stops again. I remember we must be at his house now. A minute later he comes into the bus and just like everyone he hugs everyone he passes. He looks around for a second and spots me, so a quickly wave at him and he smiles back. He's even cuter in real life god bless him. He gets to me and i get up to hug him too. He hugs me tight and looks down at the food i got him. "Mind if i sit here?" he asks me, and i quickly shake my head. "I'm sitting alone anyways so" i laugh, and he looks around. "Was i the last one to arrive?" he asks me, and i nod. He picks up the food and sits down, placing it on his lap. "Thank you so much for the food, i owe you one" he thanks me, and smiles wide at me. "It's really no problem. I would've felt bad if i didn't anyway" i tell him, and we laugh about it. We start talking about ourselves, since we don't know each other at all, and we follow each other on tiktok, instagram, and everything. I'm looking through his tiktoks and i really like what he does. We go on talking for awhile before we both get too distracted. I'm talking to Jaden and Anthony behind me, and Noen is...doing something on his phone i don't know.
We finally arrive at the first stop, and we get out and get our bags out before walking into the hotel we're staying. The manager is already here and makes sure we all have rooms and badges. I'll be sharing a room with Avani and Cynthia, which was expected ofcourse. We get into the elevator and search for our room. We're next to Chase Hudson, Anthony, Payton and Noen's room apparently. We get inside and all claim a bed. The rooms are for 4 people so we have one extra bed. Cynthia puts her suitcase on top of it and opens it, going through her stuff. I get down on my bed and go on my phone for a little while Avani is in the bathroom. I see Cynthia putting on some fancy clothes and look up from my phone. "Why are you dressing up?" i ask her curiously, and she looks weirdly at me. "I'm not going to explore the city in my comfortable clothes, duh" she explains, and i frown. "You're going out right now?" i go on, and she nods. "Ofcourse, it's a beautiful city, expecially at night!" she explains to me, and i nod. "Is everyone going?" i ask her next. "I don't know, but me and Chase are" she answers, and i nod again. At that moment Avani comes out of the bathroom again. "Avani are you going out too?" i ask her, and she looks up at me. "Yeah Payton just texted me to come with Cynthia and Chase. You should come too!" she tells me, and i shrug. "I don't know if i'm in the mood though, it's already past 8 so" i explain to them, and she nods understandable. "You could come with us to Chase and Payton's room, to ask if someone else is coming too, maybe you change your mind" she suggests me, and i agree with her. I grab my phone real quick and follow them outside.
Cynthia knocks on the boys' door, which is opened by Anthony seconds later. He lets us in and now we're standing in their room. "Is anyone else going too? Sarah's debating if she should join too" Avani asks the guys, and they look up. "I am" Anthony answers. Noen shrugs his shoulders not knowing either. "Ah come on you should come, it'll be fun!" Chase tells me, and i laugh. "Sure, i'll join. Noen what about you?" i finally agree, and look over at Noen. "Mhm i don't know" he tells me, and i pout. "Alright i'll come too" he agrees, and i smile happily. We all get ready to go and at about 8:30 we leave the hotel. We get to a starbucks first and Noen tells me he'll pay to return the favour. I let him and order an iced coffee for myself. After we all got something to drink, we start walking around the city. As Cynthia said earlier, it's very pretty at night. It's getting a little chilly because of the cold wind and i cross my arms. "Damn aren't you guys cold??" i ask them suprised, seeing that they're not wearing more than i am. "Nah i'm actually a little warm. You want my hoodie?" Chase answers, and pulls at his hoodie. I can see Cynthia in the corner of my eye, frowning at him. "No thanks it's alright" "No really, it's too warm for me" he starts taking it of and hands it to me. "Alright thanks bro apreciate it" I thank him, not looking back at Cynthia. Chase is my buddy, we both know that. She knows that. There's nothing to worry about for her.
A little later we decide to make some tiktoks too, since it's a nice view. When we're done with that it's around 10 PM and we walk back to the hotel. I wasn't cold anymore so get out of Chase's hoodie and hand it back to him. "Thanks buddy" i tell him, and he tells me it's no problem. We get back to the hotel and leave to our own rooms. Cynthia went in the room with Chase and the other boys, probably to make out with him lol. Avani and i get down on our beds. "I just want to warn you baby, but Cynthia can be a little jealous. I know you and Chase are very good friends and so does she but still" Avani tells me, and i nod understanding. "I meantioned. Me and Chase both know it's nothing like that, just like you said we're just really good friends. I hope she understands. But thanks for telling me babe" i answer, and she smiles at me. I look back at my phone and see a text from...Noen? I quickly open it and read.
Noen
Noen: Cynthia is not in her best mood atm
Me: What's wrong?
Noen: She got a little mad at Chase for giving you his hoodie earlier
Me: We all know me and Chase are just very good friends, she does too. But i'll tell her not to worry when she comes back, i assume he did too
Noen: Yes he did, but i don't think she believes it. I think she's coming back to you guys sooo
Me: Alright thanks for telling me Noen, goodnight 😙
Noen: Goodnight 🖤
And as said, she comes back into our room. Not looking too happy but not saying anything about it. I decide to speak up about it. "Hey Cynthia, i just wanted to make sure you-" i try to say, but she doesn't let me finish. "You shouldn't have taken his hoodie, you know he's my boyfriend" she tells me, sounding a little mad but with her back turned against me. Me and Avani look at each other with big eyes. "That's what i wanted to say. Look there's nothing to worry about, Chase and i have been really good friends for awhile now and we both know that. We don't like each other in any other way" i explain to her, and she laughs a little. "I don't care, you shouldn't have taken his hoodie" she says. "Well i'm sorry, i just found it very nice of him to do so i took it. Also because i was genuinly cold" i explain to her and she laughs again. "Mhm alright" she finally says. I sigh soundless and Avani giggles without sound. I open my suitcase for my pyjamas and change into them before getting into bed. We all go on our phones for a little longer before falling asleep one by one.
