NATALIE PUT HER AIRPODS AWAY and opened the car door as she sees the hotel. For filming, they were going to be in a little neighborhood for some things, so the hotel was the edge of the city. After you pass the hotel, it's the small town that people are going to be in.
Tristan paid the cab driver, and got out.
"Let's go get that cool air, Natalie." Jacob said, talking specifically to her because of the talk in the car.
"Yup, as we should, Jacob." Natalie said and rolled her luggage into the hotel, checked in, and found her hotel room.
Her hotel room was a single, but it had a door in it that lead to the next hotel room. And that other hotel room was Masons. He opened the door, barging in as Natalie unpacked her clothes and loaded them into the dresser.
"Oh, sorry. I thought this would be the bathroom or something." Mason said, blushing of embarrassment.
"You blush easily, don't you? You've been blushing since I met you." Natalie pointed out as she put her socks into the drawer.
"Well, I do. But at first it was because I was embarrassed, and then hot, and now I'm embarrassed I just barged into your room." Mason explained.
"Yeah." Natalie said and then opened her next suitcase and pulled out the Percy Jackson books that Walker stuffed in there.
"You read those?" Mason asked as he stood awkwardly in the doorway.
"Walker makes me read those. He's a bit of a Percy Jackson nerd. You can come sit, you know? I have a bed." Natalie welcomed him in.
"Oh, thanks." Mason said and sat on Natalie's bed.
"Why, do you like Percy Jackson?" Natalie questioned.
"Yeah. And apparently casting for a show of it is out. Did you tell Walker to audition?" Mason asked.
"Oh, yeah. I sent him the link and he said he'd send me his audition tape to see if it's good." Natalie explained and took her shower stuff to the bathroom.
"Cool. I'm gonna go finish unpacking, see you later." Mason came up with an excuse to leave.
"Alright, bye Mason." Natalie said from the bathroom.
"Bye Natalie." Mason said and Natalie heard the door shut. She finished unpacking and took out her computer to email her teachers. She had 6 of them so she just copied and pasted. She was only in 8th grade anyway. She hated how late her school got out this year. It was June and she still wasn't out of school. Fuck snow days.

NATALIE PLUGGED HER PHONE IN and continued to watch her movie. She was watching She's the Man on Amazon Prime, until she got a facetime call. She groaned and paused the movie.
"Wassup, Walker." she said as she answered the phone.
"You met Mason?" Walker immediately said, Natalie rolling her eyes.
"I don't know what your deal is." Natalie chuckled and laid on her stomach to talk to Walker.
"Did you?" Walker questioned.
"Yeah, but why do you care?" Natalie said, not wanting to say anything because Mason could open that door at any minute and hear what she was saying.
"Because he's fine and your acting with him." Walker said as if it was obvious.
"You're so gay, poor Hazel." Natalie laughed.
"Die, but I have some stuff to talk about that happened at school today when you weren't here." Walker said.
"Really, what happened?" Natalie asked.
"A fight between Nate and Carter." Walker said.
"What? Is Nate okay?" Natalie questioned.
"Hey, do you have toothpaste in here?" Mason came in.
"Oh, hey Mason. Uh did you not bring toothpaste?" Natalie asked worriedly.
"I did, but it exploded on the plane." Mason explained.
"Hi Mason!" Walker yelled from the phone.
"Walker, nobody was talking to you, and Mason just go in the bathroom and there's Crest toothpaste if you like to use that one. And if not, I'll give you, like, $10.00 and you can buy some from that store across the street." Natalie said.
"Hi Walker, and thanks Natalie." Mason said and walked past the frame of the facetime call and into the bathroom.
"Is Nate alright? Did dad beat his ass?" Natalie questioned.
"He's okay because he won. He slammed Carter in the lockers, kicked him in that balls and punched him." Walker told her what happened.
"Thanks, Nat. I'll give it back later." Mason walked out of the bathroom.
"No problem, don't use it all please." Natalie said and smiled at Mason. He closed the door and Natalie turned back to the phone.
"And Nate got his ass beat." Walker smiled.
"Why'd he fight him?" Natalie asked.
"I don't know, add him to the call." Walker replied.
Natalie clicked on his name to add him into the call.
"Why'd you fight him?" Natalie said immediately after Nate got into the call.
"Uhm, he was making fun of our family, calling Nathan 'Mr. Nice Guy', me a bitch, Nora a little devil, and yours was the worst." Nate explained.
"What was mine?" Natalie asked.
"A whore with dimples." Nate said hesitantly. Natalie hated the word whore and her dimples. Soon, Mason opened the door.
"You done?" Natalie asked him.
"Yeah, thanks." Mason smiled at her and put the toothpaste back in the bathroom.
"Who's that?" Nate asked.
"It's just Mason." Natalie replied.
"What about me?" Mason asked as he walked out of the bathroom.
"Oh, Mason meet my brother, Nate. He was just asking who you were." Natalie explained.
"Nice. Hi Nate." Mason smiled and waved at the camera.
"Hi Mason." Nate waved at the camera. Natalie muted herself, and turned to Mason.
"Did you use a lot, because Nate uses all my toothpaste and there might not be much left in there." Natalie said.
"No, I only used a little. Is that your only sibling?" Mason asked and leaned in the doorway.
"Nat?" Nate said from the phone.
"No, I have another brother, Nathan and a little sister Nora. Parents liked N names." Natalie smiled.
"Okay, goodnight Nat." Mason said.
"Goodnight Mase." she replied and Mason closed the door. Natalie unmuted herself. "Sorry, I was talking to Mason."
"Her man." Walker said.
"My friend." Natalie corrected.
"Adrian from Miraculous." Nate chuckled.
"That's enough, goodnight, I love you two." Natalie said.
"Goodnight, love you too." Walker said and got off the call.
"Goodnight Nate, tell Nathan, Nora, and dad I said goodnight." Natalie said.
"I will. I love you." Nate said.
"I love you too." Natalie replied and hung up.
