Diana scoots into the bench across from me, her eyebrow raised so high that it could probably fly away if it went up any further. "Uh... you good?" I ask, as she continues to stare at me blankly.
"Nope. Do you care to explain?" She tilts her head to the left, where John and Harry are having a conversation with each other.
"Explain what? Nothing happened with Harry, if that's what you are asking." I rush the last bit of my sentence, hoping she will just dismiss the conversation.
She looks at me like I just said the stupidest thing ever. We sit there in silence for a bit before she begins to speak. "You know what, never mind," She starts to mumble under her breath, and I can't hear a thing that she says. "I don't want to change your opinion with John if it isn't what I thought it was."
I lean closer to her, bringing my ear up closer so I can hear. "What'd you say?"
"Nothing, I was just clearing my throat. Oh, Claire! Come sit with us!" Diana waves her over, and she smiles as she rushes over to sit next to me. I just move on from what Diana was talking about before.
"So what are you guys doing for Thanksgiving?" Claire asks, as she takes a bite of her caesar salad.
"Not much. Andrea, Harry and I were going to hang out a bit, and then I was going to the party my family hosts every year. What about you, Claire?" Diana winks at her, and continues giving her a look, like she is trying to convince her to do something with her eyes.
"Uh," Diana's stare continues to get more and more tense. "Yeah, can I hang out with you guys? I don't have any plans." Claire is staring directly at Diana, who is now smirking at her.
"Yes! That is perfect! You need to come over and celebrate with us." Diana seems so excited, that she could leap on top of the table just out of pure joy.
"Yeah, that's great! But Harry doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, so don't try to make it all about it. Just treat it like it is a nice get-together. You know?" Claire's phone starts vibrating loudly in her hands, as I am talking to her. I notice that she isn't even paying attention to what I am saying, and neither is Diana. They are both on their phones.
Are they texting each other? I quickly glance down at Claire's screen and see that they are. I find the urge to read their texts, but I know I shouldn't. That's rude! They deserve their privacy. Although, they are texting each other right in front of my face instead of just talking out loud.
I mean, reading just a few messages won't hurt anyone, right? My head slowly turns, so I can get a better angle of the screen. I keep doing this until I get a perfect view of the screen. Gosh, I probably sound like a psycho right now!
Claire:

Diana:

Diana:

Claire:

I quickly shoot my head up, hoping they won't notice that I know everything they were texting about. I pretend that nothing happened and say, "So... Are you guys ready to listen now?" They both nod and shove their phones in their bags, still giving each other looks.
"Yep, sorry about that." Diana says, trying to stop herself from laughing.

I grab my bag and water bottle before I walk towards the exit of the set. "Rae!" I hear a familiar English accent fill the hallway, and I smile. Harry and I didn't get to talk much outside of filming today, so it's nice to be able to have a chat with him before I leave.
"Hey Harry!" I turn around to see him running straight for me. He slows down and leans his right hand against the wall. It's paint is chipping off, and some falls onto the floor from the friction of his touch. His other hand is placed on his chest as he pants, trying to catch his breath after running down the long hallway.
"Helloooo," He is still gasping for air while he speaks. I guess that's one thing we both have in common; asthma.
"Are you okay? Do you need anything?" He nods before he clears his throat one last time, widening his eyes and raising his brows to create surprised but funny expression.
"I don't know what happened there," He jokes, "But I just wanted to say hello before you left! And I was wondering what the plans are for this weekend."
"Well, hi then! But yes, Diana made a reservation at this nice restaurant where we can eat. And she suggested that we go back to my hotel after. How does that sound? Oh, and about that, is it okay if Claire tags along?"
Harry smiles and opens the door for me. "That's great, thank you for planning all of this with Diana. And of course Claire can come! You and her were getting along very well at the dinner, so I don't see why not."
"Thank you! And anytime. I love getting spend time with you," Harry's face lights up when he hears me talking about him. "And Diana all together! We are such a great trio." His smile is still there, but not as strong as before.
"Yes, that's right! We are a great... trio," I scream when I feel a pair of arms wrap around my neck from behind me. I turn to see Diana. "Bye guys! See you tomorrow!" Harry goes to his car and Diana is jumping up and down.
"Oh my gosh, he was totally hoping that you would say how much you love spending time with only him, I just know it! I can't believe you didn't use it as an opportunity." Diana follows me to my car because hers is parked right next mine.
"What makes you think that? And how much of our conversation did you even hear?" I ask as I place my things on the passenger seat.
"A lot of it. I was secretly following behind you guys like the whole time." After she says that, I just stare at her, concerned.
"You just left me flabbergasted."
We stare at each other for a bit, until we burst into laughter.
