Kit's outfit:

Dahlia's POV

************

"We're totally gonna have to steal a few of these pillows!" Caden nodded as he patted his pillow a few times and then shoved his face into it. "My God, it smells like money!"

"You guys will have to forgive him. He's never stayed in a five-star hotel before." Cadence rolled her eyes. She discreetly shoved a small towel into her purse before sending us all a smile.

Our camping trip had ended yesterday, thankfully. The last day of the trip was spent with me, Billie and Gigi sulking and our friends apologizing for their cruel prank over and over again until we finally broke down and forgave them.

Now we're about two hours away from those stupid woods, and we've checked into a really nice hotel! We're gonna be staying here for two weeks and I think we're all pretty excited about it.

We've got a lot of fun stuff planned for the next two weeks. For starters, we're going to Disneyland tomorrow, which I'm really excited about because I've never been there before!

"Okay, we have to figure out these sleeping arrangements for tonight so there's no confusion later on." Cora sighed.

We've got two adjoining rooms. One of them is bigger and better than the other.

"There are seventeen of us. Nine of us are gonna sleep in one room, eight in the other. Each room has two beds, so—"

"I want to be in this room!" Bea shouted, cutting Billie off.

"Yeah, me too then." Kit smirked before clearing her throat as Heidi turned to send her a look. "This room has nice air conditioning..." She muttered.

"Okay, I'm cool with that." Billie shrugged.

"You're cool with that? What the hell do you mean you're cool with that?! Why does it matter what you're cool with?!" Hudson questioned quickly.

Billie smirked before shrugging her shoulders again. "Since I'm the one paying for the rooms, I get to decide who sleeps in here. Dahlia and I—"

"What? You told me that everyone was chipping in to pay for the rooms!" I hissed. "How fucking much was this?!"

"Two dollars." She mumbled. I glared at her. "Okay, it was a little more than two dollars."

"Tell me how much it was right the fuck now so I can give you—"

"Trust me, baby, you couldn't afford it." She snickered, causing me to gasp. "Don't worry about it, it was no big deal! Anyway, I paid for the rooms so I get to decide who sleeps in this amazing, glamorous, gorgeous room that we're all standing in now...And who has to sleep in the less awesome room." She continued.

"Since Dahlia is my boo thang, of course, she's gonna be sleeping in here with me," She batted her eyelashes at me and I simply rolled my eyes in response. "And since Kit is my other boo thang, of course, she can sleep in here!"

"Thanks, Bil." Kit grinned.

"Bea is my first ever real friend so she's definitely gotta be in here with me—"

"Yes!" Bea shouted.

"The rest of you can fight to the death to decide who gets to sleep in here." Billie shrugged.

"But I don't feel like fighting to the death! I've got high heels on!" Cadence pouted.

***

Instead of fighting to the death, we ended up playing a few games of bingo to determine who'd get to stay in the nicer room.

Billie, Kit, Bea, Heidi, Cadence, Gigi, Madi, Ori and I all get to sleep in this room. Everyone else is sleeping in the other one.

After figuring out who would be sleeping where we all decided to leave the hotel and head to the mall. We want today to be mostly chill since tomorrow will be such a busy and exciting day, but we wanted to get out of the hotel for a while so we decided to come here.

"You look ridiculous." Billie snickered as she snapped a few pictures of me. I flipped her off and pressed down on the pedal under my foot, prompting the little tiger bike I was riding to move forward a tiny bit.

"In twenty minutes, when your feet are sore and tired beyond belief, don't ask me if you can ride with me because the answer will be no." I told her.

This is a pretty humongous mall. It's easy to get tired of walking in here, so they let people rent out animal bikes to ride while they shop. I might look ridiculous, but at least I won't have blisters forming on my fucking feet tomorrow.

"Where do you wanna go first?" She asked, looking around.

"The yogurt shop. Then the popcorn and candy store. Then pretzel land, then the smoothie shop, then the cookie store, then the Chinese food—"

"I'm starting to feel like the only reason you came to the mall was to eat." She smirked.

"I know I need to be sticking to my diet, but—"

"No you fucking don't," She shook her head quickly. "We love thick bitches around these parts. Everything you eat seems to go right to your ass. I personally think you should be eating even more." She grinned.

I rolled my eyes and flipped her off again before looking over at the video game shop a little ways away from us. "Didn't you say you wanted to get some new games so you and Denny can play when we get back from the trip?" I raised my brow.

"Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"Yes," I laughed. "I wanna be stuffing food in my mouth for at least the next two hours and I can't comfortably pig out with you around because I always wanna look good around you."

"Aw, you still look sexy to me even when you're shoving four cookies and two pretzels into your mouth!" She cooed, leaning down to squish my cheeks. "Besides, I've got something better for you to put in your mouth."

"You can't go a day without making a dirty joke, can you?"

"I don't know, I've never tried. And I'm not about to start." She winked.

"If I don't decide to run away, I'll see you in a few hours." I shook my head at her. She leaned down to give me a kiss and then I listened to her cackle as I slowly rode off.

I really wish my bike could go faster but the quickest it can go is ten miles per hour. Whatever, I'm still cool!

It took me, like, ten minutes to get to the yogurt shop but when I finally did I was happy to see that it wasn't too busy. There were only about ten other people inside and they weren't near the yogurt machines, so I quickly made my way over and then stood up to begin fixing my yogurt.

I got my favorite, mango yogurt, and then some plain vanilla yogurt, put my few toppings on and paid for it quickly before getting onto my bike again and riding out of the shop.

I made it about three feet away before somebody stretched a leg out and placed it on the bike to keep me from moving forward. I looked up and pouted as I noticed it was Kit.

"I'm on a mission. I need to get to the popcorn and candy store."  I told her.

She let out a small chuckle before pulling a bag of popcorn out from behind her back and handing it to me. I examined it for a second and smiled as I realized she'd gotten my favorite type. White cheddar with extra butter and extra salt. "Alright, I'll talk." I nodded after putting the popcorn with my yogurt in the little basket attached to the side of the bike.

"I'm on a mission too, Doe." She told me as she took her for foot off my bike and gestured for me to go on.

She strolled along beside me as I began to slowly make my way to the cookie shop which...Is all the way on the other side of the mall. I bet it'll take a good fifteen fucking minutes for me to get there on this thing.

"What's your mission? Are you looking for the donut shop? It's just around the corner." I told her.

"Nah, the thing I wanna eat ain't in no fucking donut shop." She shook her head.

"Are you trying to get to nacho land then? God, I bet Caden is already there ordering all the shit that I should be ordering! I need to beat him there but I fucking can't on this damn—"

"I'm tryna get to Bea. I want Bea." She cut me off. I sent her a look and she held her hands up in defense. "Yeah, I know, I know, she's got a girl!"

"Yes, she does." I said sternly.

"But, see, the thing is, I think she wants me too. She don't give a fuck about no Heidi when I'm around."

"What are you talking about? Give me the tea." I demanded as I picked up my mango yogurt.

"She flirts with me all the time. She looks at me like she wants me. She keeps dropping hints that she wants me to fuck her."

"Bitch, and what?!" I nearly shouted. "I do too!"

"Yeah, but I actually want Bea." She smirked as I frowned. "Sorry, shorty." She shrugged.

"Whatever." I grumbled.

"Anyway, I can just tell that she wants me and the only thing in the way of us getting together is Heidi, who seems like a nice girl and all, but I can tell Bea is bored with her. I mean, they don't really seem to have all that much in common. I get the feeling that Bea is just with her because she wants to be with somebody, you know?"

"Hmm..." I hummed as I shoved some yogurt into my mouth. "I mean, maybe that is the case. I don't know much about Heidi and I honestly don't know that much about Bea either, not her love life, at least. But I do know that she used to kinda be with Luna, but Luna was just using her to get to Billie and me. She was pretty hurt by that, but she moved on with Heidi."

"See, that makes me think that maybe I should just make my move," Kit mumbled. "Heidi is just a distraction."

"I don't know, Kit. Maybe she really does like Heidi, though. I mean, before her and before Luna, Bea seemed to just be having fun sleeping around. She got with Billie at a party and Billie mentioned that she—"

"What?!" Kit gasped. "She got with Billie at a party?! And you guys are still friends?!"

"Well, it was before Billie and I were actually together and I couldn't hold a grudge. Bea's too awesome for that, and she made it clear that she wasn't trying to come between us or anything like that. As soon as Billie and I got together she backed off." I shrugged. "My point was that if she's with Heidi she's probably with her because she actually likes her. Bea isn't the type to need a relationship."

"Maybe." Kit muttered.

"So, like...You really like her?" I questioned.

She quickly shook her head. "Nah, Nah, Nah. I don't like nobody. I mean, I don't be wifing bitches." She chuckled, looking down at me. I sent her a blank stare and she cleared her throat before continuing. "I just mean...I'm just tryna find somebody to fuck."

"Mm." I mumbled, not convinced. "I don't know, Kit. I know for a fact that you've got hundreds of girls in your phone who are just waiting for you to tell them you wanna do something and they'll come running. Why're you so focused on Bea?"

"I'm not! It's just that...we're on vacation right now, and we're hours away from all the girls in my phone. I can't exactly get with them right now."

"Yeah, well, I've been riding alongside you for three whole minutes now and I've seen about six girls look at you and blush already. You could find a girl while we're on vacay to get with." I smirked as I noticed her cheeks reddening just a tiny bit.

I've never seen her blush before.

"If you like her you should just admit that."

"I don't like nobody." She repeated after a moment. "I told you at that party, remember? I'm not good at being with people. I always fuck that shit up and I'm done trying that relationship shit. I like fucking, not cuddling."

"What?" I furrowed my brows. "What do you mean you like fucking not cuddling?"

"I mean exactly that, Doe," She chuckled. "I'm not meant for cuddling bitches I'm meant for fucking bitches."

"Everybody likes cuddling," I rolled my eyes, still shocked she'd said that. "Cuddling is, like...Breathing. I mean, even if you don't have a girlfriend. You cuddle your pillow, right?"

"Why the fuck would I cuddle my fucking pillow?"

Her New York accent made me swoon for a second before I realized she was saying some real dumb girl shit and quickly snapped myself out of my trance.

"For comfort? Warmth? Because it's normal?"

"It's normal to lay there hugging an inanimate object like it's your boo?" She raised a brow. "Weirdo shit. I ain't never cuddled a bitch and I won't."

"You disgust me," I rolled my eyes. "Anyway, all I know is that your exact words just then were 'I want Bea' so you clearly like—"

"I want Bea in my bed, to be more specific," She sighed. "I just came to see what you thought about her and Heidi. I don't wanna get in the middle of their shit, especially since all I'm trying to do is fuck. I just thought that maybe that's all they're doing too. Then I wouldn't feel bad for getting in the middle of anything, cause I know I fuck better than that bitch." She rolled her eyes.

She sounded a little bitter which made me smirk. She totally likes Bea. It's none of my business, though. My meddling days are over.

***

"So, like, are you and Heidi...Serious?" I asked before shoving a nacho into my mouth. Bea just so happened to be in the nacho shop when I walked in, so I figured I might as well talk to her while Heidi wasn't around.

"I guess I wouldn't say serious," She shrugged. "She's really cool and everything, but we're just chilling."

"Just chilling..." I nodded, smiling as I thought for a moment about what to say next. "And by just chilling you mean...Just screwing around?"

"Well, it's definitely more than that," She laughed. "We kind of act like a couple, but we're kind of not a couple. I think she wants to be, but...I don't think that's my thing."

"Oh?" I raised a brow, trying to hide the excitement in my voice. "Oh." I mumbled softly after clearing my throat, trying to sound more sympathetic.

"Yeah, I mean...Well, okay, being with someone in a full-on relationship could be my thing, if I found the right person."

"You don't think Heidi is the right person?" I asked.

"She's cool and nice and fun and everything, but...I had more feelings for Luna than I do her." She rolled her eyes, sighing. "Before I found out that Luna was a raggedy bitch, I really liked her. Heidi...She's really cool, but I never have been and never will be smitten with her."

"Smitten—" I shook my head, cutting myself off. We'll talk about her use of that old ass word later on. It's beside the point right now. "So, like, are you gonna tell her that eventually?"

"I don't know. I feel bad for saying this but I'm kind of just with her because I wanna have somebody to do shit with, you know? But I just know that she's not, like, the girl of my dreams or something. She just doesn't excite me. All our conversations are boring, and honestly, we don't have much in common."

So, Kit was right.

"I've been wanting to call whatever we have off for a while, but I just can't do it. She seems to like me a lot and I don't wanna hurt her or anything." She sighed.

"Well, it's better to do it sooner rather than later," I shrugged. "Besides, you never know who else is out there waiting for you."

"What are you hinting at, Doe?" She smirked, crossing her arms over her chest.

I flipped my hair over my shoulder and smirked right back, shrugging. "I don't know, I'm just saying...You never know who else is out there waiting for you." I repeated myself before sending her a wink and then turning to walk out.

Billie's POV

************

"What the fuck do you mean she likes you?" I narrowed my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. "She does not like you, she likes me! That's why she's my girlfriend!"

"She was fucking flirting! And I just wanted to tell you because I didn't know how to handle the situation myself and I didn't want you to think I was trying to steal your girl or something!" Bea whisper yelled before poking her head out of the photo booth and looking around to make sure nobody was around listening.

"Why would she like you when she has me?!" I questioned. She sent me a look and crossed her arms over her chest as well.

"First of all, bitch, don't shade me because I'm fine as fuck and you know that." She huffed.

I rolled my eyes as she continued.

"Second of all, I don't fucking know! She's never seemed to like me like that before and I don't know why she does now, but she clearly does! She was asking about me and Heidi and then she winked at me and she just—I don't know!"

"I can't believe this," I mumbled. "I mean, leaving me for Kit I could understand, but you?"

"Bitch, once again, you know I'm motherfucking fine so quit playing with me!" She yelled. We began bickering as I tried to explain myself for saying that and she shouted about how she was a catch.

We stopped arguing once someone quickly slid into the photo booth and sat down on the bench across from us, and I sighed as I noticed it was Gigi.

"Bro, this is occupied!" I told him. Bea quickly slapped me on the boob and I winced, scooting away from her. "Don't you disrespect the cutest friend we have!" She hissed. "Other than me, I mean."

"I'm sorry, I hiding from Cadence, though." He explained quietly.

I furrowed my brows. "What? Why?"

"She mad at me and I am not happy with her either." He crossed his arms over his chest too, pouting as he glared at the ground. "She think I flirted with girl who was working at the beauty kiosk because I told her I liked her lips."

"Well...You know, I can see why she was mad about that." Bea muttered.

"But she had very pretty lips!" He huffed.

"But your girlfriend has very pretty lips too."

"She not my girlfriend," He mumbled sadly. "And I tell her she has nice lips all the time! I don't see the big deal about it."

"The big deal about it is—"

We all let out scared screams as Cadence dived into the booth as well, already yelling as she did.

"—You and I are supposed to be, like, a thing and you just told some other bitch—right in front of me, by the way—that you liked her lips! Why?!"

"Because I did like her lips!" He shrugged.

"But you're only supposed to like my lips!" Cadence yelled as she sat beside him. "I mean, I'm not naive, I know you look at other girls but...I don't know, that really hurt my damn feelings."

"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but I do not understand," He sighed. "I compliment other people's lips plenty of times and you did not get upset then."

"Um, you've never complimented another person's lips before. I would've remembered that." She scoffed.

"Yes, I have! Many, many times! Remember last Saturday? We were in your bed cuddling after the sex—" I cringed at that. I don't know why the idea of them having sex is gross to me but it is. Maybe because Cadence is like my little sister. My little sister who apparently busted it open for her mans in my fucking bus, but I guess that's beside the point right now. "—We were watching the beauty videos and I told you I like James Charles' lips even though he has been, ugh...Canceled!" He explained.

Cadence furrowed her brows as she thought about it and Bea and I watched them closely, being way too nosy, but I mean...Why not?

"You...You didn't say you liked his lips." She mumbled.

"I did, though! Because he was wearing what you put on your lips and I liked it!"

"Gigi, when you said you liked that girl's lips...Did you mean lipstick? Were you referring to the color of her lips?" She asked.

"Yes!" He smiled excitedly as she finally understood. "Yes, I liked her lips! You see?"

"Oh, thank God." She muttered to herself as she leaned over to give him a kiss. "I am so sorry I misunderstood you! There's a big difference between liking somebody's lips and somebody's lipstick you know?" She chuckled.

"I forgot the word," He frowned. "English is hard."

"You're doing amazing, Sweetie, don't even worry about it!" I shouted before clearing my throat and closing my mouth again.

"She's right," Cadence giggled. "I know it's not easy learning a whole other language. Caden's been taking Spanish classes forever and he still doesn't know what gracias means. You're doing really amazing and you get better every day! I'm really proud of you." She smiled.

"I'm proud of my pretty Cadence too." He smiled before leaning over to kiss her again.

I was really expecting for the kiss to last for just a few seconds, but it really didn't seem like it was gonna end any time soon. His hand was sliding up her thigh and her hands were traveling downward and I was...disgusted.

Bea and I silently agreed to just slide out of the booth and let them have it.

"We need to find Dahlia and clear this up," I told her, getting back to our own problem. "Because I know damn well she doesn't think you're better than me."

"Is Dahlia a tit or ass type of girl?" She questioned abruptly. I narrowed my eyes. "Why?"

"My ass is bigger than yours. If she's an ass girl, I've got you beat." She smirked.

"Well, my titties are bigger!" I huffed.

"I'm taller than you, squirt. 5'7, I'm a stallion! She likes tall girls."

"I can sing!" I shouted.

"I can dance."

"Twerking doesn't count!"

"Yes, it fucking does!"

"Well, my hair is cooler!"

"No, it's not! My hair is white! How many people do you know with white hair?!"

"My hair is blue! How many people do you know with blue hair?!"

"Plenty!" She rolled her eyes.

"At least my roots look better." I grumbled. She let out a loud gasp. "Take that back you stupid bitch!"

"No, I won't, you dumb cunt!"

***

"This shit is so bomb." I sighed as I leaned against the counter and handed Bea a nacho. We thought that maybe Dahlia would've made her way back to nacho land by now since I'm sure she's gonna come here three or four times today, but she wasn't in here when we got in here.

We were gonna just leave and keep looking for her, but...nachos. I mean, they even had vegan and gluten-free nachos and cheese here! How could I leave without getting some?

"It really fucking is." She said before shoving some more into her mouth.

We insulted each other all the way here, but now we're on a lunch break. I guess we'll start that back up after we finish our nachos...And visit the vape store across from the nacho shop too. They sell weed and we need some of that.

"You sure you don't want any?" I questioned as I turned to look at Cora, who happened to be leaning against the counter beside me. She was too busy glaring at Liza and Caden who were sitting at a table in front of us to answer.

"We should go sit down, I guess?" I tried to catch her attention again. She didn't answer. I just shrugged before grabbing her wrist and pulling her along.

The three of us went to sit at their table, but there weren't enough chairs for all of us. "I'll get you a chair." I told Cora, who was still standing.

She just shook her head before sitting down on my lap. I shrugged before taking another bite out of my nachos.

I looked between Liza and Cora who were having a glaring contest and then sent Bea a look. She simply shrugged.

"So, what's up?" She asked, trying to break the awkward silence.

"Caden and I were just over here talking about relationships." Liza shrugged.

"Yeah, I gotta make sure I give all these young bucks my advice. I am the master of relationships, after all." He smirked.

"Hmph." Cora grunted before turning to me and smiling. "Can I have a nacho?"

"Sure, baby." I cooed, squishing her cheek as I made a few baby noises. She fucking hates that and usually, she throws a fit when I do it, but this time she simply smiled at me and took my nacho.

Okay, she must be sick or something. Somethings definitely wrong.

"So, Liza," She started after chewing her nacho up. "You and Caden are getting really close, aren't you?"

"He's pretty cool." Liza shrugged.

"Aw, that's good. I'm glad you two are friends! I was worried you wouldn't have a good time on this trip since most of the people on it don't fucking like you."

Bitch what?

Aw shit.

Bea and I glanced at each other and I shrugged as she mouthed 'What the fuck?'

"Really? Everyone on this trip seems to be alright with me! Except for you," Liza glared. "And by the way, the only reason I'm even talking to Caden right now is because my own 'girlfriend' wasn't talking to me earlier so I had to find somebody to enjoy with."

"Ouch." He mumbled before slurping some of his drink. "I feel used."

"Yeah, you two seem to be enjoying each other a whole lot." Cora spat before wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "I can enjoy with other people too, though."

"Um...Whatchu mean?" I questioned, laughing nervously.

"Dahlia's so lucky to have you," She sighed. "I mean, you're literally amazing! You're really cool, you always say what you mean, you don't flirt with bitches who you know like you! You're gorgeous, funny, smart! Ugh, imagine having a girlfriend like that."

Aw fuck.

***

"I don't think she likes you, bro." Bea shook her head as we both walked quickly through the mall, desperately trying to find Dahlia. Now not only do I have to ask her about her apparent crush on Bea, but I also have to tell her that her little sister likes me.

Fuck, I don't wanna do that. I do not wanna split this family up. Damn me for being so amazing. I can't blame Cora for wanting me, though. I'm great.

"You saw how she was acting! She sat on my lap! She gave me all those compliments! She was looking at me with heart eyes!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, but, like, why would she want you?" Bea mumbled. I stopped walking and sent her a look.

"Oh, so now you're shading me?" I grumbled.

"I'm just saying, there are better fish in the sea." She muttered under her breath as she crossed her arms over her chest. I sighed.

"Bea, you're literally great. I'm sorry for throwing shade at you earlier, I was just mad! I could totally see Dahlia liking you. You really are amazing!"

"I'm sorry for shading you too then," She smiled. "We're both bad bitches and we know this."

"Period." We said at the same time before laughing.

"I'm really sorry about Dahlia, though." She sighed.

"Oh my gosh, what's wrong with Dahlia?!"

We both jumped as we turned to look at Heidi, who was standing there looking confused as fuck.

"We think she has a crush on Bea—" I started to explain but Bea quickly cut me off.

"Me. Billie was saying she thinks she has a crush on me. As in her. As in...Billie." Bea stuttered.

"Well...She probably does. Because they're dating." Heidi put a hand on her hip and narrowed her eyes. "But I don't think that's what she said. It sounded like she said that Dahlia has a crush on Bea. As in you."

"No, no, no, you heard completely wrong!" Bea told her quickly. "See, um, we didn't wanna tell you this, but...She has a crush on you. Billie said 'We think she has a crush on Heidi' as in...You...Cause you're Heidi."

"Oh my gosh, that's true! I am Heidi!" She gasped.

Okay, so she's pretty but she's not that bright.

"Yep, you are." I smiled.

"But wait! What about you, Billie?" She frowned.

"Um, it's okay, Billie doesn't even like her like that anymore! It's fine!" Bea spoke quickly.

"Oh, okay, I'm gonna go find her and talk to her about this! See you guys later!" She rushed out before running off. We tried to stop her but she was sprinting through the mall in search of Dahlia before we could.

"Why the hell did you tell her that Dahlia has a crush on her instead of telling the truth?!"  I hissed.

"Because Heidi is great but she's fucking crazy sometimes! If I would've told her that Dahlia had a crush on me she would've gone off on me and then tried to murder Dahlia! But if she thinks Dahlia has a crush on her then she won't be mad. She'll probably just tell her that she's with me so they can't be together or something."

"Well, hopefully, we find Dahlia before she does anyway." I sighed.

Dahlia's POV

************

"What in the actual shit are you doing, bro?!" I questioned loudly as I desperately tried to get her off of me.

Here I was, just sitting in the new room they've put in the mall. It's a room filled with TVs so kids can come play Xbox or whatever, and it's really dark in here and super relaxing. I noticed that nobody was in here, though, so I decided to come in and sit down, rest up for a bit before I started shopping once again. I've hit up a couple clothing stores and I managed to catch some amazing sales—that's not the point!

The point is, one minute I was in here completely alone, resting my eyes, and the next I was being straddled by Heidi who wouldn't stop trying to kiss me.

"Don't act like you don't want me! You don't have to be shy, Dahlia, I'm, like, totally into you too!" She told me before biting the fuck out of my neck.

"Dude, get the fuck off me, you fucking vampire!" I hissed.

"They told me you have a crush on me, and I'm totally okay with that! You're, like, super hot!" She yelled as she squirmed around. I really feel like she's grinding on my leg right now and I'm fucking...I don't know what to do with that.

"First of all, you're with Bea! Second of all, I'm with Billie! Third of all who the fuck lied to you?!"

"I know I'm with Bea but I don't think she really wants us to be exclusive, and Billie doesn't like you! She and Bea are the ones who—"

"Hold up, what do you mean Billie doesn't like me? She's literally my girlfriend."

"Well, I don't know what's going on with that but all I know is that they told me that she doesn't like you anymore."  She shrugged. "It's okay, though. You can totally have me!"

"She doesn't like me anymore?" I nearly whispered.

"Why are you dwelling on that when I'm literally right here, on your lap? We could go have fun in the bathroom—"

"Ew!" I shook my head as I stood up, still holding on to her. "Get off of me." I told her sternly as she refused to unwrap her legs from around my waist.

"But do you really want me to?" She pouted, trailing her finger down my cheek.

"I literally would love it if you would." I huffed.

"What the fuck is going on here?"

I turned to look and saw Hudson standing there, looking shocked.

"It's not what it looks like." I sighed. "Not that it matters because apparently, Billie doesn't like me anymore." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" He gasped as he ran over. He wrapped an arm around both me and Heidi, who was still clinging to me like a fucking tick. It was a very awkward hug, to say the least.

"It's okay, I'll make her feel better." Heidi giggled.

She wouldn't let go of me on her own will so I decided to just stop holding her weight and drop her.

She fell to the ground with a loud thud and I just shrugged at a wide-eyed Hudson as I stepped over her. "What's up?" I asked him.

"Orb sent me nudes!" He whisper yelled.

"What?!" I gasped.

"Yeah, he sent me like five nudes!" He exclaimed. "It was just out of nowhere! I mean, it was a welcome surprise, though."

"Dude, that's literally insane!" I shouted.

"I know! And that's not all! I think Caden is cheating on Ken with Bea!"

"What?!" Heidi and I both screamed at the same time. "That's literally not even possible, Bea likes girls!" Heidi shook her head as she finally got up off the floor.

"No, Bea is pansexual!" I told her quickly before turning back to Hudson. "Why do you think—"

"I was walking past the pizza palace upstairs—" Fuck. I haven't even gotten to shop upstairs yet. Again, not the point, but shit. I think we're leaving soon! "—And I heard him and Liza talking. She was asking about cheating and—I just heard him say that he's done it before and with Bea!"

"I can't fucking believe that bitch! I'll kill her!"

"Girl, shut up. You literally just pounced on me. You said you guys weren't exclusive." I rolled my eyes. "Okay, what else did you hear?" I asked him.

"Well, Liza was not happy to hear about that whole ordeal because she apparently really likes Caden—"

"What?! Liza likes him?! But I thought she was gay! Like, full-on gay!" I gasped.

"I guess not because she basically confessed her love for him! I'm not gonna lie, I didn't catch it all, but I heard her say 'Caden, I really like you and I don't know how I'm gonna explain that to Cora!"

Heidi and I both gasped loudly.

"Holy fucking shit," I mumbled. "Cora's gonna be heartbroken when she finds out about this."

"Well...Maybe not," Heidi mumbled. "I think Cora likes Jules."

"What?!" Hudson and I gasped.

"Yeah, they were talking earlier—but Liza was there, mind you—and Cora was flirting really hard with Jules. I'm pretty sure Liza noticed, but she didn't say anything. I guess she just didn't care because apparently, she likes Caden."

"Wow, I feel like my head is about to explode." I shook my head.

All our phones buzzed at the same time and I jumped, my heart beating quickly. I don't know why but it scared the shit out of me. Probably just because I'm anxious as fuck now.

It was a text that Kai sent to the group chat.

Everything good with everyone? Just checking up. X.

Fuck. No everything is not good with everyone.
