MEGAN

"Megan... Megan... MEGAN!" my roommate, Emma, yelled in my ear to wake me up. I jumped up and out of bed. Unfortunately, that made me fall on the floor.

"Ow... wait WHO'S DEAD? DID SOMEONE BREAK IN? AM I DEAD??" I got up and grabbed the closest thing next to me, which was a pillow. I thought Emma was the burglar and started hitting her with it.

"What the heck! Stop hitting me with a pillow- OH MY GOD NO ONES DEAD!" she told me. I stopped hitting her and moved my hair out of my face.

"Then why did you wake me up?" I frowned. "I was having a nice dream about uh Harry. Yeah, Harry Holland."

"Mhm totally. If it was Harry, why were you mumbling Jake's name?" She asked me. I rolled my eyes.

"Bro everyone was in my dream, I swear! We were playing hide and seek in the house, you and Colby went somewhere together and we never found you guys. Harry and Tom were there, I don't know why, but Harry and I went to McDonald's at some point. Jake was doing something stupid, per usual. It was a wild dream."

"Yeah that was definitely your dream. Anyway, we promised Sam and Colby we would come over today."

"Aren't we there like every other day? Are we only going because YOU want to see Colby?" I smirked and she hit me with a pillow. "Ouchie."

"This time they actually asked us to go there. I don't know why, but we're leaving in an hour." Emma walked out of my room and I started making my bed.

I went into the bathroom and started to get ready. I put my long brown hair into a messy bun, gathering it away from my bright brown orbs- oops, sorry, tik tok got to me. I put my brown hair into a half up half down style and began to wash my face and brush my teeth. I grabbed my contacts and popped them in my eyes, my brown eyes. HAHA I'm sorry tik tok is really getting to me.

I went through my closet to find an outfit when I came along an old blue hoodie. I remember that hoodie, it was light blue and it said "Cocoa Beach" on it. I got it in Florida when I still lived there at the time. I also wore that hoodie the first time I met Sam and Colby. Emma and I were viners at the time and the four of us just happened to live in the Midwest, them in Kansas and us in Illinois. My parents drove Emma and I to Kansas to meet up with Sam and Colby. It was always the four of us, then we met Jake the next few times we drove down to Kansas. FantabFive, ew but also I love us.

I smiled to myself thinking of the memories. You may be thinking who I had a crush on when I met them. The answer? It wasn't Colby, he's literally like an older brother I've never had. I love him, just not that way. I actually thought Sam was cute, I had a thing with blondes and I'm still trying to figure out why. It's cool now though, Sam's like my other brother but more on the best friend side.

I finally found a cute pink, cropped tank top. I paired that with some black ripped jeans, a black and white windbreaker, and white high top converse. I looked in the mirror to see how I looked, but my eyes went straight to a polaroid picture of Brennen and I at the beach. I met Brennen through Colby and honestly, before Jake moved here to LA, I hung out with Brennen a lot. He was like my guy best friend. I still hang out with him, but not as much because I've been busy.

I grabbed my vlog camera and started recording. "Wait is it turned on? Yeah it is." I said to myself. "Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel uh if you're not subscribed, what are you doing with your life? Like bro, it's not that hard to subscribe. Anyway. we're going over to the traphouse today, per usual." I flipped the camera around so it was facing the mirror.

"Here's the outfit of the day! Shirt is from H&M, jeans from Abercrombie, windbreaker from Forever 21, and shoes from... my entire life I'm pretty sure." I laughed at myself. I have too many converse I swear. I stopped recording and cleaned up my room a bit.

I was looking around and just stared at the pictures all over my room. I saw one of Jake and I laughing, attempting to take a good picture, it didn't work out obviously, but it was my favorite picture of us. When I found out Jake was moving here, I was beyond happy! It was like seeing my best friend after five million years apart, I mean that's cool too.

"Are you ready?!" Emma yelled from the kitchen. I was scanning my room for my phone. I yelled a "NO" as a response, trying to find my phone. I searched everywhere for it, then found it in the bathroom. Are we surprised? No. I put my camera and charger in my iconic small, pastel pink backpack from Forever 21. I bring it everywhere because you never know when you need your wallet.

"Okay, I'm ready now." I walked into the kitchen.

"You're not gonna eat anything?" Emma asked me. I shook my head.

"Us? Eating breakfast? That's a funny joke." We both laughed and walked out the door, heading to Emma's car.

We got to her bright, yellow jeep and hopped right in. Ew, I hate myself, I am never saying that again. We didn't live far from the traphouse, but far enough for us to hit traffic. LA traffic is the worst, I swear!!

I looked over to Emma, her knuckles were white from gripping to the steering wheel too hard. I just turned back around, gabbed the aux chord, and went through my playlist. I found the perfect song, Space by Sabrina Carpenter.
