Late March

Kaycee and Tahani's apartment

"Reverse, reverse, draw two, draw two, skip, skip, draw four, Uno, Uno out!" Kaycee said ending the Uno game

"Just had to play Kaycee Rice in a card game," Sean said to Bailey who looked destroyed as he pats her shoulder in pity

"I thought this would be easier," Bailey said dropping the 20 cards in her hand

"Why did you think you could beat the card game queen?" Tahani said

"Well Julian told me he beat her once in Uno," Bailey said

"Julian lies," Josh said "One time he said a girl was into only for me to realize she was a he"

"He was into you," Julian said as everyone else laughed

The phone rang "I got it" Sean said going to answer the phone

"So, tell me how are you and Gabe?" Tahani asked Kaycee

"I don't know, he doesn't want to move out here, doesn't want to set a date, and who knows who he's with..." Kaycee said

"Wait... you don't think he's..." Tahani said whispering the next part "Cheating!"

"Who knows..." Kaycee said

"Hey, you know I love you, right?" Tahani said "I just want you happy"

"Yeah..." Kaycee said

"Are you happy with Gabe?" Tahani asked

"I mean it was fine when it started, I don't know I guess I just kind of accepted this would be the best it gets," Kaycee said

"What?!" Bailey said joining them "That's insane! You never are supposed to settle!"

"Bailey..." Kaycee said

"No, you know I'm right," Bailey said "You should be with someone that makes you feel special not an afterthought"

"Why are you all whispering," Josh said coming to grab a water bottle from the refrigerator

"No reason," Kaycee said heading to the living room area

"So, remember that girl I set you up with a couple of months ago," Sean said as Julian looked confused "The one you hit it and quit in the span of 2 weeks"

"Yeah, Chloe West, right?" Julian said

"East" Sean corrected

"Right Chloe East," Julian said remembering his old date "She was nice, took way too long to invite her over"

"Well she said to call her today," Sean said

"But I don't want another date," Julian said

"I have a feeling it's not about that" Sean said "Her tone sounded urgent"

"What's wrong with another date? Chloe was nice" Kaycee said

"Eh, I guess I just haven't met a girl I was really into," Julian said

"Anyways guess who's teaching their first dance class today!" Bailey said

"I want to say you but I feel it's too obvious," Tahani said

"It's me!" Bailey said as everyone just congratulated her "Yeah, I'm teaching a beginner's class so basically I get to teach kids!"

"That's amazing Bails," Kaycee said as everyone said similar things
