it was getting really close to prom. me and my friends hardly talked about anything but anymore.
it is just so exciting to pick out your shoes and hair and makeup and nails and what perfume to wear, the list goes on and on. prom is in exactly a week starting tomorrow.
laken and marly came home with me today. since it is friday and we don't have school tomorrow my parents let me have friends over to spend the night. most weekends i seem to spend with the triplets, but right now, not to be cringe, i just need my girl friends.
i've been kind of stressed lately at all that is going on with matt and chris. still, chris is oblivious to what me and matt had going on for a while, and nick is oblivious to everything. i kind of feel bad about that. i usually tell him everything but I feel like lately we've been kind of distant. probably because i'm too busy messing around with his brothers like a hoe.
i've started to feel disgusted with myself about the whole situation and i needed to get it off my chest. i decided i would tell laken and marly tonight, even though laken has a thing for chris, i know she won't be too upset about it.
"so, yeah..... that's it." i finished my tangent.
both of their mouths hung agape. i hadn't even told them about when matt first kissed me until just now. what me and matt had was like a dirty little secret even though out romance wasn't exactly forbidden. there was nothing preventing us from being together if we wanted. nothing illegal at least. until they turn 18 this summer, there would be nothing wrong. legally. but morally and risks our whole friendship dynamic? there is a lot on the line. but not anymore. i think that thing me and matt had is a thing of the past, especially considering he's starting to get serious with that netty girl.
"that's crazy! and you are still going to prom with matt?" marly asked curiously.
"yes. we, like, are awkward with each other now but we won't admit that anything has changed, you know?" i explained.
As it got later, marly went to sleep because she is a pussy. me and laken were still up talking though. it was about 2 am.
we were on amazon looking at heels for prom when my phone started buzzing. i was getting a face-time call from chris.
i answered it. "hey, do you wanna come over?" he asked when i answered. "um, no. if my parents saw my leave the house at this hour they would not be happy. i have friends over right now anyway."
"you have friends?" someone joked from beside him. i recognized the voice as matt's.
"fuck you." joked back. things haven't been this light-hearted between us in a while.
"you wish." was his come back.
well. i thought things were going to be okay for a second.
chris was the only one that laughed. laken gave me a oop look.
"maybe we can all hang out tomorrow. laken is here." i changed the subject so it was directed at someone else. laken slapped my arm not so subtly.
"cool. yeah we can hang tomorrow." chris agreed.
"where's nick?" i asked.
"he's cooking pasta." chris answered casually.
"why is he cooking pasta at 3 am?" marly asked with a croaky voice. we must have woke her up.
"first of all, it's only.... 2:28, and second because we are hungry." chris explained.
"pasta actually sounds good right now." laken commented.
"you guys should come over." chris suggested.
i already told him no. he was starting to get on my nerves. why the hell is he trying to ruin my girls night. i am with the triplets all of the time, and the second i try to do something without them....
"yes! we should!" laken said excitedly standing up. are you serious? laken is honestly such a pick-me sometimes. she's always a pick-me when it comes to the triplets, especially chris.
"i'm not going. i'm staying right here and going back to sleep." marly said, laying back down.
"me too," i agreed.
laken reached over to press the mute button on my phone. "i can't go without you!" she scream-whispered.
"why do you even want to go at all? i thought we were having fun just us."
"but come on, y/n, what's a girl's night without boys?" she whined.
"uh, the opposite of a girl's night!" i snapped.
"come on, please." laken begged, "i can't miss an opportunity like this."
"is this the only reason you came over?" i asked her half joking.
laken just paused and looked at me with pleading eyes. that's when i realized. it was the only reason she came over. maybe it was the only reason she had ever came over or been friends with me in the first place. back freshman year, probably right when the boys hit puberty, laken howard suddenly is chatting my ear off and wants to sit with me at lunch. our whole friendship is probably fake. she's just friends with me because i am close with the triplets.
i ended the call with chris. "in the morning, i want you to leave." i said plainly before turning off my lamp and going to bed beside marly.
laken didn't say a word as she laid down on the air mattress on the floor where she belongs.
i hold back the tears as i try to fall asleep. i couldn't believe what just happened.
