"I'M HERE," JASMYN SPOKE INTO the phone. she was standing outside alejandro's house, trying to peek inside through the front window. she heard footsteps on the phone, followed by the door being opened by none other than alejandro.

"hey!" he pulled her in for a hug, opening the door to reveal kairi and alvaro peeking from the stairs. jasmyn laughed at the two boys sitting on the staircase, waving at them. "come in, we just ordered some pizza."

"so you're the girl, huh?" kairi asked, eyeing the petite girl up and down. "you don't deserve mattia or ale, let me be your man instead." he joked, earning a slap on the shoulder from alejandro. kairi rolled his eyes at alejandro, responding with a 'you know i'm right' face.

"ale was right, you're very pretty." alvaro added. jasmyn smiled at the other two boys, who she thought were the sweetest things ever. apparently everyone in the group was nice except mattia. she didn't care though.

"thanks, alvaro." jasmyn gave alvaro and kairi hugs, then alejandro lead them all upstairs to his bedroom. jasmyn was the last to walk in, noticing the iconic lights first. the room was illuminated with purple lights, her favorite color. her eyes traveled to all the medals and awards hung up on alejandro's wall. "you won all of these? damn." jasmyn asked, running her fingers along all the medals.

"yeah, i have every single one from when i first started playing soccer." alejandro responded, beaming with pride. jasmyn could tell he was proud, and she thought it was the cutest thing.

"alright lovebirds, don't forget we're still in the room! you could, i don't know, include us in your conversation, maybe?" kairi said sarcastically. he had to go through this before, with victoria, and this was not going to happen again. alvaro laughed, agreeing with the short japanese boy.

"shut up, kairi. you were the one who wanted me to invite jas." alejandro said defensively, trying to cover the fact that kairi called them lovebirds. he didn't want jasmyn to feel uncomfortable or be put on the spot like that.

"wait, did you invite mattia?" alvaro asked, clearly out of the loop with all the drama that had gone down. kairi looked like a real life representation of the face palm emoji, and jasmyn couldn't help but laugh.

"don't be mean, kairi. he doesn't know!" jasmyn defended the bowl cut headed boy. kairi rolled his eyes at her, which earned another laugh from jasmyn.

"nah, i haven't spoken to the kid in a while. we're not really friends right now." alejandro explained. "has he talked to y'all lately or has he just gone ghost on all of us?" he asked alvaro and kairi, who both shrugged.

"nope, i mean we sent streaks to each other but that's really it." kairi shrugged, showing the others his phone screen. it showed that mattia opened his snap 4 hours before and didn't respond.

"same here. i think he liked some of my tiktoks though." alvaro said, while checking his text messages with mattia. "he still hasn't opened my text from two days ago!"

"damn, that's crazy. he really went ghost on all of you guys bevause of me? i'm sorry." jasmyn apologized. she suddenly had the feeling like she split the friend group apart, and it wasn't a good one. they all knew each other before they knew her, and now they don't even talk anymore bevause she started drama between two of them.

"it's aight, i mean, he'll come around eventually. i've known him for a long time." alejandro reassured her, and the other boys nodded too. it didn't bother any of them, because they all knew how stubborn and hot headed mattia could be sometimes.

"anyways, i wanna go live. i just hit 300k on instagram," alvaro said, changing the topic. he propped his phone up against alejandro's tv and sat down in the rolling chair.

"congrats, bro!" kairi grinned, patting his friend on the shoulder. alejandro did the same, adding "keep on grinding, for real. you're gonna be big so one day." jasmyn smiled, admiring the friendship between alvaro, kairi and alejandro. it made her think about how she missed how her friendship with jabez and how things used to be. now she barely even talked to him.

alvaro started the instagram live, viewers instantly coming on and sending hearts and posting comments. alvaro read the comments, while the other three went and did their own thing. kairi was making tiktoks and alejandro and jasmyn were too busy having a conversation to pay attention to alvaro's live.

alvaro was reading the comments, answering people's questions and following people back when suddenly he saw a bunch of people commenting "OMG MATTIA" and "MATTIA JOINED". alvaro's eyes widened as he read the comment that mattia had left.

mattiapolibio y'all some fake ass friends. fuck you. fuck kairi. fuck alejandro and fucking jasmyn.

alvaro took a quick screenshot, absolutely sure the fans had screenshots and screen recordings of it as well. he ended the live and sighed, knowing this would be all over drama pages and shade rooms on social media. "this is too much drama for me, i can't." he mumbled to himself, not even bothering to share the news with the others.
