Its finally Friday and it couldn't have gotten here quick enough. The way everything is turning out is making me upset, and I hope I'm not showing it because Nicki catches onto things quickly. I just don't want her to find out about anything yet, and as much as I want to tell her about what happened with Ariana, since we promised we'd tell each other everything, I can't because I know then we'd get in trouble because of the simple fact that we weren't supposed to come out of our rooms. I mean technically I didn't come out of my room, but still. I don't want to lose Nicki's trust now that I have it, but I know that I can't keep holding in everything the way I am. I sure as heck don't want a repeat of a few months ago. I wish I can tell Nicki that I want it to only be me, her, and Meek going to Costa Rica, but I know I can't because then it would make things awkward and it'll all be weird because then everyone would be asking questions on why they're suddenly uninvited. Everything right now is just beyond me. I'm supposed to be enjoying my birthday week with my friends and family, but instead I'm surrounded by a bunch of snakes. I don't know who to trust anymore, and that's making me even more upset. It makes me think of other scenarios where they could have been lying.

"Y'all ready?" Nicki asked walking into our room.

"Yeah, but I can't find my other sandal." I said rolling my eyes.

Even the littlest things are making me upset, which is weird, because I am a natural happy and positive person. I'm just praying I don't blow up, at least not in front of Nicki because she sees me as this bubbly person, I don't ever want her to see that side of me, neither do I want to ever see that again.

"What sandal?" Kayla asked.

"The white ones."

"They're in your hands."

Looking down at my hands, I saw a sandal in each one. I took a deep breath and shook my head, letting out a laugh to throw everyone off, but it was so fake I'm pretty sure they know it was.

"You okay?" Nicki asked raising her eyebrows. "You been actin weird since we got here. Did I do something wrong?"

Oh Lord. See, this is what I didn't want. When Nicki peeps something out, especially involving me, she would start to believe it was something she said or did, and I don't want her to think too much into it because you guys know nothing about what went down here or about what Jasmine showed me has anything to do with her. I just hope she doesn't beat herself up about it because then I would really have to tell her everything and I'm just not sure if she's ready for all that right now.

"Yeah I just got distracted when I was on Instagram."

"You sure?"

"Mhm."

"Alright. Everybody else heading down to the lobby, make sure to bring your key card."

"Okay, we'll be down in a sec."

She nodded and walked out of the door. I proceeded to put on my sandals and then when I stood, I looked over at Jasmine putting the last of her things into her suitcase.
