mariano castaño and valentina reyes have been best friends since forever and together they join the new tiktok house, "the vault." perhaps some feelings begin to show themselves between the pair.
mariano lead me away from the airport entrance. "i rented a car so i could get around without asking for rides." he explained. "what car did you get? i asked as i walked besides him. he grinned but said nothing. i rolled my eyes looking up at him. "marrrrr what car is it?" he stopped and turned to face me. i looked at him weirdly. he smiled and jerked his head to the left. i squinted and looked and my jaw dropped. "you got a convertible?!" I screeched excitedly.

"it's nice, right?" "hell yeah oh god." i responded sliding my hand over it. as he put my suitcase and my carry on in the trunk. i hopped in without using the door. "i have always wanted to do that." i told him as he sat down. "i know. that's why i got the convertible." my cheeks tinted pink as i glanced over at him. he was already looking at me with a small smile, "you're the best." i said softly. "i know." he replied simply before pulling out the parking space. i smiled slightly, grabbing the aux cord and plugging my phone in, pressing shuffle on my library. immediately iann dior started to play and i let my head fall back into the seat. (you can play the song at the top now if you'd like, skip to 30 seconds) despite it being 6 pm here, the sun still shined and the air felt warm as it whipped my hair around wildly. i closed my eyes loving the feeling. canada was so different it was snowy and cold the majority of the year, on occasions the sun shone brightly. i heard mariano laugh. i glanced over seeing him shaking his head at me. i couldn't help it as laughter bubbled up in my throat and came out as mariano sped up. a warm feeling spread through my body. love. we are best friends. so it made sense. i sang along with the song as mariano followed suit. i threw my hands up, unable to mask my huge grin. i loved moments like this with him. i just hoped he cherished them as much as i did. (stop song) time skip my eyes widened as mar pulled up to a huge house. "wow." i mumbled dazed, i jumped slightly as the passenger seat open. mar grinned at me as he held it open. "thank you." suddenly that house door opened. "SHES HERE!" i heard a male voice shout. a smile spread through my face as i watched everyone run out the door with grins on their faces running towards me and mar. the first to reach me was bryce, he yanked me away from mar and pulled me into a hug. i laughed loudly. "GROUP HUG!" rave's voice shouted. i groaned loudly as everyone started to suffocate me. i lifted my face up from bryce's chest to meet cayman's and peyton's eyes behind him. "hi guys." i greeted. "hi." they both greeted back. i chuckled. "alright get off me!" bryce exclaimed. i laughed feeling eyes burning holes to the side of my head, i turned slightly seeing mariano standing next to malcom. once our eyes met, his eyes dropped and he turned to talk to malcom. time skip after hugging and talking to everyone, keith helped me find my room. out of all the boys from the vault besides mariano. i got along with him the best. "wait val!" i turned seeing bryce, mar and malcom behind him. "yesssir?" bryce looked unsure. "malcom wants your room." "huhhhhh?" i looked to malcom, confused. "i share the room with mar and we just can't get along. can we switch." oh please no. i can't sleep in the same room as him. "mars room is bigger and it even has a walk in closet!" malcom reasoned. "i don't know malcom..." i replied uneasy. i looked to bryce to see him recoding us. "your best friends since child birth! come on val!" malcom dropped to the ground begging on his knees. at that point keith and bryce were laughing their asses off. i looked at mariano and he shrugged. i glanced back at malcom seeing him crawl towards me trying to grab my legs. "oh my god malcom get your ass up." i spoke in an annoyed tone as he grasped my leg. "ill room with mar. just please stand up, your embarrassing yourself." "god bless you val." he sniffed. i rolled my eyes. "mar walk me to our room please." our room. our room. our room. holy shit. he grabbed my suitcase from a laughing keith. i followed him farther into the house and he stopped at a gray door that had a white board that read 'mar and mal' he quickly erased the m and replaced it with a v. i laughed. "let me find a sleeping bag or something i can sleep on." he said as he opened the door. it was a nice room and i was sharing it with mariano castano. "you can sleep on the bed with me." i blurted out.

he glanced at me and shifted on one leg. "are you sure?" "acting like we haven't slept in the same bed together before." i said walking to the what i presumed to be the closet. my checks felt hot. i dropped my suitcase down. mentally punching myself. suddenly i felt my phone buzz. bryce had tagged me in a tiktok on the vault page. "oh lord" i mumbled watching malcom on his knees begging me. the tiktok was titled 'guess who just got here?' my heart dropped hearing myself in the video telling mar to take me to our room. fuck everyone was gonna start rumors about us. i pressed on the comments and everyone was pointing out what i had said. "fucking bryce. fucking malcom." i grumbled tossing my phone on my suitcase. "what's wrong?" i jumped startled. "everyone thinks we got something going on." i replied turning to look at him. he chuckled. "yeah i know since forever." "now more because of the post bryce put up on the vault page." he shrugged. "wanna make a tiktok?" he asked smiling. "sure." i followed him as he lead us up to the roof.

(pretend that's val) we danced to that song, which was super easy. as he captioned it and tagged me. i sat on the edge of the roof with my legs dangling off. the sun was now setting behind the mountains in the distance. i heard footsteps behind me and mariano appeared in my line of vision, plopping down next to me. "beautiful right?" i asked him without looking towards him. "always beautiful." he replied. i looked at him and he was already smiling at me. i offered a smile back. "GUYS FOOD READY!" i jumped again, breaking eye contact with mariano. "let's go!" i urged him pulling at his arm. he laughed standing up. "race you!" i challenged running off. "CHEATER!" he yelled running after me.
