*ellie's pov*

i was laying in my bed, passively scrolling through instagram, when i heard someone throw the front door open downstairs and loud, clumsy footsteps running towards my room.
-well good morning to you too sarah, I heard my mom yell jokingly to sarah as she passed her in the corridor outside my room.
-THEY'RE GOING ON TOUR ELLIE, THEY'RE GOING ON TOUR! sarah squealed with excitement as she leaped onto my bed.
-yeez, it's like 10 o'clock on a saturday what are you so worked up about this early, i replied while pushing her off of my bed. she took an exaggerated deep breath and collected herself.
-payton moormeier, chase hudson, elmo o'dwyer, drayke austin.. just- ALL OF THEM! the entire tiktok squad is going on tour with a bunch of other tiktokers to a city just a couple of hours away from here!
-why do you know their last names that's so creepy, i reply completely uninterested.
-oh come ooon you know how much i love them we have to go pleease, she begged and ironically got on her knees, i don't want to go alone!
-of course i'll go with you, your my best frien-
-thank you thank you thank you!! sarah interrupted.
-BUT i will complain during the entire time there, i said giggling and poked her in the stomach with my foot.

me and sarah have been best friends since the first grade when she moved into the house next door with her family and our parents became friends. we're both sixteen now, or i'm technically just about a month from it but whatever, and we're just as close as we were then. it's not rare that we burst into each other's houses like she just did since we both pretty much see them as a second home. we tell each other everything and spend all our free time together, when her dog died in second grade she slept in my room for almost a week, and when my first real long term boyfriend, ethan, had to move to europe a few months ago she spent all of her free time with me, lying in her room moping and playing video games. we do everything together.

we looked up the dates for the tour and decided to go to the mall to buy outfits for it the weekend before, which might i add i found completely unnecessary for a tour, it's not like they were gonna notice what anyone was wearing ya know, but i still agreed to do it.

the weekend rolled around and i had completely forgotten about the tour until sarah texted me about it on saturday morning. I quickly got out of bed and put my long, wavy blonde hair in a french braid, threw on a coat of mascara and went downstairs to sarah sitting on our couch waiting.
-lets go! she said excitedly.
i slipped on my vans and grabbed my moms car keys.

about halfway through the day at the mall i still hadn't found anything while sarah had her arms covered in shopping bags but i didn't really care, i went to the mall more for sarah and helping her pick out clothes than for myself anyway. we drove home and facetimed each other from our rooms while packing.
-do you think i'm gonna need these? i heard sarah say through the phone and i paused packing and looked up. she was holding up six pairs of sunglasses, i'm not even kidding.
-why on earth would you ever need that many sunglasses for a two day trip? i said through my laughter.
-i don't know okay stop laughing at me, she replied, also laughing.

My mom let us borrow her car to drive up to where the tour was and we started putting our bags into the car the next morning.
-do you really need THIS many bags? i asked sarah while dragging another one of her heavy suitcases out to the car, what's even in this? it's SO heavy.
-I want a lot of outfit choices while i'm there ok, don't judge me! she chuckled and we got in the car and began the two hour drive.
