I pulled an all-nighter for this but we're not going to talk about that lol.

Some of y'all are going to temporarily hate me.

You can't say that I didn't warn you.

"Hanna, you're going to the dinner whether you like it or not" my mother says

"Fine" I grunt out before hanging up the phone

I turn to face Bailey and Faith with an annoyed facial expression.

"I have to go to the dinner whether I want to or not" I say with an eye roll

"See, the universe wants the both of you to befriend each other" Bailey says with a smile

I groan as I bring my hand up to cover my head.

This can't be happening.

A few hours passed of Bailey and Faith watching random movies which I was unable to enjoy since a certain someone won't stop plaguing my mind.

"Hanna, she's not that bad, you're just overreacting" Faith says with an annoyed tone of voice as she tries to fall asleep

Bailey, Faith and I are camped out on her floor.

It is currently three in the morning and I can't stop thinking about the whole situation concerning the devil in disguise.

She's the equivalent of glitter getting stuck in your hair.

Once she's there, it's hard to get rid of her.

"Maybe you're right," I sigh out

I could be feeling this way towards her because of my minor trust issues.

"Maybe I'm just confused and I'm taking my frustration out on her" I try to reason with myself

Okay, now I just sound crazy.

"Great, now that that's settle, can we sleep?" Bailey questions sarcastically as she turns her face away from me

I turn my head towards Faith's DirectWire only to notice that she's soundlessly asleep.

Wow.

That was quick.

I guess I should go to bed too since I have to be home early.

I tiredly reach my hand out and feel around for my obnoxiously loud phone.

Why are my parents calling me this early in the morning?!

Once I feel the smooth glass of the phone I swipe right until it stops ringing, completely ignoring the caller identification as I bring it up to my ear.

I remain silent as I wait for the person on the other end to speak.

"Uh, Hanna?" They asks

I immediately shoot up from my comfortable laying position, opening my eyes in the process.

No fucking way!

How did he-?

"Hanna?" He asks again

I glance over at my unconscious best friends sleeping next to me.

"Why the hell are you calling me?" I whisper shout through the phone as I glance over at Bailey's digital clock
