— AFTER a long excruciating night, the four girls had finally awaken from their slumber.

olivia and lyla had stayed over the next day with raelynn, the other girls left to go home.

lyla decided that they should all go on their bikes, so here the three girls were. riding bikes down the street, heading to the corner store to get some snacks for the next movie they decided to watch.

raelynn didn't go on her phone, glancing at the notifications on the front of her phone in the basket, seeing them but deciding to not stare at them to long to avoid crashing.

she messed with her necklace, smiling at her friends who were giggling and loving the feeling of air blowing through their hair.

she glanced down at her phone, to see a notification from instagram.

tristanpravong wants to send you a message.

raelynns eyes widened, she gasped loudly and slammed onto the ground, her bike crashing as she held her phone tight.

she landed in the grass, not caring that she had scrapes on her knees as she stared at the phone.

"oh my god are you okay?!" olivia asked, placing her bike up and running to her.

lyla was right behind her, worried sick over how she just crashed and was staring at her phone like she just got a death message.

"tristan freaking pravong just dm'ed me!" she screeched, earning a squeal from
the two girls who looked at eachother and screamed.

they helped her up, looking at her phone and reading the message.

tristanpravong:
well damn u must be very determined
was this a dare or do you just really really want to date me?

raelynns fingers hovered over the keyboard, not knowing how to respond. she didn't expect him to answer, she bumped into him yesterday at school but ran away. and now he actually answered her.

out of a million messages, he chose to answer hers.

"well don't just stand there answer the man!" olivia smacked the back of her head, making raelynn glare at her and lyla to quietly giggle but stop when rae stared at her.

she looked back at the phone, and began typing.  

    raelynn_lewis:
OH WOW OKAY
UHH
I DIDNT EXPECT  YOU TO SEE THIS
*messages deleted*
both actually.

tristanpravong:
okay then, you look familiar.
do i know you??

raelynn_lewis:
i would hope not..
that would be really awkward.
and scary if you did ngl 👍🏼

tristanpravong:
nono i do know you
ARE YOU THE GIRL THAT RAN
AWAY FROM ME YESTERDAY?

raelynn_lewis:
oh lord why do you have to remember
small things like this.
uh yeah i am.. sorry for running away?

she threw her phone at her friend, groaning and fake sobbing. she was terrified, she's never had any type of interaction with a celeb, especially having a conversation with them.

her phone dinged 3 times, but she quickly snatched it back from lylas hands and placed it in her shorts pockets, getting back on her bike and not answering her bestfriends questions.

when they made it to the corner store, she ran to the chips and drinks sections, after that running to the candy section.

"rae! you have to answer him, it's tristan freaking pravong!" lyla told her, grabbing a drink and candy. olivia already had a bag chip open, stuffing them into her mouth as she rethought every single thing and nodded at lylas words.

raelynn glanced at them, rolling her eyes and groaning. "but i don't want too! it's scary! he already goes to our school and i bumped into him yesterday!" she yelled back, not feeling amused at this at all.

she felt weird, how someone famous actually replied to her. she's sent multiple messages to her celebrity crushes, but they've never responded so she felt at peace with it.

"then i'll do it for you." olivia sneered, reaching into rae's pocket and snatching her phone out, holding it away and turning corners to message tristan.

tristanpravong:

she sighed, going to the checkout and paying for her food and her friends food.

they were already kicking it off, and she was having the greatest time of her life.
