Zendaya's POV Saturday Morning 9 a.m.   

Waking up this early on a Saturday should be a sin. Today is Saturday, the day of the BBQ, and I have be up early so I can help get the house ready for the party at noon. We've been cooking and cleaning for the last day and a half and I am so tired of it. I get up and head to the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day ahead of me. I don't even like to shower in the mornings but I've been so tired lately after helping to set up the house I come in my room at night and go straight to sleep. I get the idea of it, that it's supposed to wake you up or whatever but I can't imagine much is getting cleaned when you've just woken up. Showering at night is more relaxing because hot water hitting your sore muscles is probably the best thing ever especially as a dancer. I actually only started showering at night because I had to start getting up earlier and earlier for dance and other things, and hearing a shower at 4 a.m. is not fun for anyone. I get out of the shower and put on some sweats and a tank. This is only to work around the house and cook in I'll change into something later I just didn't want my outfit to get all smelly and sweaty. I head downstairs to the kitchen to look for the food that is safe to eat before the party. We aren't allowed to eat anything in the fridge except for a very few things because the rest is for the party. I find a plate of leftovers and heat it up, while it's in the microwave I think about all of the things I have to do before I can enjoy the party later. I have to clean the kitchen and the living room, then get dressed, and finally make a playlist for the party. Normally Trevor would help with the music but he's been helping dad with the barbecue stuff so I was put on the music. The microwave goes off and so does my phone, that's in my back pocket at the same time. I get my food first because it's more important right now, then I grab my phone to see who texted me.

On the rise(Kehlani): my days off suck without you now

FAB(Far Ass Bestie= Zendaya): sorry im not there hows everything going with you???

I think about it and deep down I know she is just curious about Dinah and I kinda lowkey wanna stunt because Dinah is a damn baddie. I screenshot one of her recent ig posts and send that because I only have the goofy pics and the thirst traps she post on snapchat and I am NOT about to send one of those to Kehlani.

On the rise: but on the real tho i got a question

On the rise: just tell me how many tickets youll need and i got you. do youre thing with your girl ill check in wit you later

FAB: love you sis

On the rise: love you too and send me your address when you get the chance 

I close out of her message box and open Dinah's so I can respond to her text.

D Bae: if youre parents are anything like mine youre already up getting the house ready for the bbq but i just woke up so good morning

ZenCutie: good morning to you too beautiful how did you sleep?

ZenCutie: I cant do that my parents are gonna have people there too i was already told not to have too much cussing and i better have some old school mixed in too

D Bae: sounds like mani's parents anyway ill let you got so you can do some cleanin ill see you later

ZenCutie: yeah i got a lot of stuff to do so ill see you later

I close out of my messages with a big smile an idea for how I'm gonna ask Dinah to be my girlfriend. But I might have to call in a few favors for it to work. I'm sure it will work. I run upstairs to get my dock so I can have some music to clean too then I get to work.

Dinah's POV around 11

The girls are on their way over right now to get ready so we can head over to Zendaya's for the party. The girls are really excited about meeting her especially Ally and Normani. Since they're my big sisters they want to make sure she is good for me. I hope Ally doesn't do anything too embarrassing before Tori gets there. The whole crew is going to be there and we're even bringing our own food. The latinas are bringing some thing I can't even pronounce, Jilly made peach cobbler, Tori is bringing chips and salsa/guac from work, and Normani and I put some money together and we're going to buy some Texas BBQ from one of our favorite places in town. I put on some music to kill the time and like six songs later Lauren comes in my room.

"Ayyy you playing that new Kehlani?"

"Yes I'm so happy she made a video for The Way it's my favorite."

"Yo I fucking love Chance The Rapper man."

"Oh really? Name all of his mixtapes."

"Ten day, Acid rap, and I'm counting SURF because he's heavily featured on it."

"What's your favorite song of his?"

"Either Juice or Everybody's Something since those were the first songs of his I heard."

"I'm surprised you don't have Pusha Man as your favorite or at least the second half of it."

"I mean I love that one but I fell in love with those first two since I only knew about his Vevo channel and not his Soundcloud."

"Oh okay that makes sense."

"What's yours DJ?"

"Mine is probably from SURF. Wanna be cool or Sunday Candy, but that remake of the Arthur theme song is the GOAT. Anyway where are the others?"

"Camila and Ally are downstairs with your siblings and Normani and Jilly are still on their way."

"Of course. The brats love those two because they're the same size as them."

"Yeah as soon as they saw them it was like a wave of kids washed over them. It was hilarious."

"Hey want to help me pick out what to wear for the BBQ?"

"Sure what do you need me to do?"

"Well I already have some jean shorts picked out so I just need a top."

"Oh okay. Well what about a baseball jersey? I know you have a lot of those."

"They're in the closet. Just go ahead and pick one for me."

Lauren picks out a white and black pinstripe jersey and it ironically matches what she's wearing. I put it on over my crop top but leave it open because the shirt is long enough to cover the shorts entirely. I grab my phone and Lauren and head downstairs to save my other latinas from my siblings. We get down the stairs to see Ally and Camila teaching my siblings a song. I have never heard this song before but knowing those two they probably made something up to calm them down. We wait until they finish the song before making our presence by clapping for them.

"Wow that song was incredible you guys."

"Yeah I didn't know that talent runs in the family, you guys sounded really good."

My baby brother Seth crawls over to us and Lauren instantly grabs him and pulls him into her side before sitting down next to Ally leaving me the spot on the other end of the couch. We all play with my siblings for another twenty minutes when Normani and Jilly walk in the door. Normani has a key to my house just like I have a key to hers so it's not weird to see her just waltzing in my house like this.

"Hey y'all."

"Hey you two glad you could make it to the pre-game. What took you so long to get here? I know Jilly lives in the land of baby mansions but I could have swore I said be here at 11."

"Calm down alright we got here before you left and that's all that matters. You're probably not even ready to leave yet are you?"

"No because we were waiting on you two to get here. But since you wanna talk stuff give me five minutes and we can go."

I make my way out of the room before I realize I got played and make my way back over to Normani.

"You did that on purpose didn't you?"

"Yes I did now go finish getting ready so we can leave."

I swear I fall for that every time. I shake my head and walk away to get my shoes and my bag. I get up to my room and head to my closet and pick some simple black converse sneakers and I forgo a hat because it's gonna be hot out and I don't want my hair to be sweaty. I grab my bag before turning everything in my room off and going back downstairs.

"Okay let's go."

"Lauren are you driving too or are we all riding in one car?"

"Well you still need to go and get the ribs from Gatlin's so it would be best if we drove separately."

"But I don't want you guys there by yourself while you wait for us to get there."

"Well why don't you give the money to Mani and you come with us instead."

"Okay that could work. Let me get the address from Zendaya and then we can go."

D Bae: whats ur address were headin out now??

ZenCutie: * address here* text me when you pull up so ill let you in bc we wont hear the doorbell

D Bae: thanks see you soon

ZenCutie: cant wait to see you

I smile at her flirting before I send the address to Lauren, Tori, and Jilly, since they're the ones driving. I could have just shown them my phone but then they would've seen my texts back and forth with Z and I DO NOT want to be teased right now. I get a text from Tori saying she got it and that she gets off of work in two hours so she'll be there soon after we get there.

"I could have stayed home for this."

"Why you say that Jill?"

"Because I'm looking at this address, she lives like walking distance from my house."

"Wait really she lives in the land of baby mansions?"

"Yes according to this address she sent you she lives like three blocks away from me."

"Wow sorry about making you waste gas money like that Jill. I'll make it up to you I swear."

"You better."

"Okay can we go now I sent the order to the restaurant already and they said twenty minutes five minutes ago."

We all make our way out of my house not without hugging my mother goodbye and we all drive off. When we get near the house I hear some old school hip-hop blasting from around the block so I know we're close. We pull up to light blue house in the middle of the street and park out front. I pull out my phone to alert Zendaya of our arrival, while the latinas get the food from the trunk.

D Bae: i hope that summertime blasting around the block is your house bc otherwise I think were lost

ZenCutie: lmao yeah thats us ill be right out sit tight

We wait for about five minutes then the door to the house in front of us opens and Zendaya is standing there in a Kehlani merch shirt and a pair of joggers that match the shirt perfectly. She has her hair up in a bun with some of her fine hair styled like baby hair in the 90s and her make up is so simple it looks like she doesn't have any on but I know she has concealer on at least. I've seen her with no makeup I know the difference. I stop staring long enough to walk up to the door and greet her. Lauren and the girls are following me and waiting for me to say something but I can tell Lauren is holding in her laughter from my staring earlier.

"Hi."

"Hi. Thanks for coming."

Zendaya is staring at me like I'm the only girl in the world she wants to look at and I'm just staring back not saying a thing to stop her. Behind me I hear Lauren clear her throat a few times before we snap out of it and remember that there are other people with me that I need to introduce.

"Oh sorry! Zendaya this is Lauren, Camila, and that's Ally."

"Nice to meet you all. I have to ask what's in the tray because I didn't tell you guys to bring anything."

"Just some Mexican corn. Kind of like the kind you get from the street carts around town. We thought you should have a taste of Houston and we also heard you were vegetarian so we made this for you."

"Yeah think of it as a thank you for inviting us."

"And a Welcome to Houston all in one tray."

"A big one because this tray is heavy as hell."

"Well come in and I'll show you where you can sit that down to give your arms a rest."

She steps aside before closing the door and leading us to the backyard and introducing us to everyone. While she does all of this she either has her hand on the small of my back or is holding my hand with our fingers intertwined. I don't think she realizes she's doing it but that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop her. She takes us over to some empty chairs with some other kids our age and we sit and talk for a while before Zendaya leans over to whisper something to me.

"Want to ditch this convo?"

"How will we do that?"

"Don't worry I got this. Hey guys we're gonna be right back I'm gonna show Dinah where the bathroom is."

She grabs my hand we walk into the house for some privacy.

Zendaya's POV

"How about a tour?"

"Sure. Lead the way."

I lead her to the back stairs and take her the long way up around the house so we would get to my room last. When we finally get to my room she starts to look around and I sit at my computer table watching her. She goes through all my shoes, smiling when she sees the shoes I wore when we first met, and speaks for the first time since she got in the room.

"You take really good care of your shoes."

"Yeah I mean I spend all that money to get them, I should take care of them. Right?"

"You sound like you take good care of the things you own."

"I see my possessions as a reflection of myself, clothes especially. If my clothes and shoes look good I look good. It's like an investment."

"Lot of investments here, how many shoes do you own?"

"Uhh like 100 and counting? Not counting slides, converses, and dress shoes. They don't get clear boxes like that."

She moves away from my shoes and looks toward my trophies then walks over to them.

"Is this a ballroom dancing trophy?"

"Yeah. Back at my old art school I had to take one year of a traditional style of dance. It was either take a year of ballroom or a year of modern dance."

"Well you must have made the right choice if you were good enough to compete in the state competition and get a trophy."

"Yeah well I owe it all to my teacher. He taught me really well and after we were done he went on to compete as a professional on Dancing With The Stars."

"Maybe when you're famous you'll compete with him again."

"Yeah if he's still there."

She puts the trophy back then lays down on my bed. I haven't moved from the computer table so I'm just watching her from my spot on the other side of the room as she looked around. I don't want to interrupt her so I sit and wait until she's done exploring or until she has another question. I turn away from her and look at a random piece of paper to distract me until she calls out to me.

"Hey. Why are you all the way over there? Come lay down with me."

I chuckle to myself before laying down next to her. As soon as I lay down she reaches for my hand and starts playing with my fingers. Because of my genetics I have really big hands and fingers, but her fingers are just as big as mine but thicker. I move my hand, that she's holding, and make her fingers chase mine all along her hand and wrist making her laugh. God her laugh is adorable. When she finally stops my hand I grab hers and intertwine our fingers for like the second time today.

"You could have just said something if you wanted to hold my hand."

"Yeah but it wouldn't have been as much fun that way."

"You have really big fingers."

"So do you."

"Well you know what they say about lesbians with big fingers right?"

"That they must be really be good in bed?"

"Girls say that to you too?"

"Straight girls say that to me all the time! Like why do you care about my fingers you're straight."

"Oh my god yes straight girls are so obsessed with long fingers!"

We both laugh and I smile and look at her profile while she continues laughing. Her laugh is quickly becoming my favorite thing. She must have noticed I stopped laughing because now she's looking at me too.

"What?"

"You stopped laughing so I did too."

"I stopped laughing because I just realized something."

"What did you realize?"

"Last time we were together you said I could have kissed you if I wanted too. Does that apply to right now?"

"Yeah it applies to right now. You can kiss me whenever you want to."

I reach over with my other hand, the one she's not holding, and cup her face before leaning in. I get close enough to feel her breath on my lips when her phone goes off in her pocket ruining our moment completely. I let go of her face and she looks at me apologetically before she answers her phone. She gets up from the bed, making me let go of her hand, and walks around the room while she talks. She's talking to someone on their way here because she's told them my address and has described what my house looks like. When she gets off the phone she looks at me with a sad smile on her face.

"My friends are on their way here and I said I would let them in when they got here."

"I guess our private party is over then."

"Yeah but that just means we'll have to have another date soon so you can get me alone again."

"Most definitely."

"Come on tour guide let's head back."

I stand up and she kisses me on the cheek before we leave my room together.

Dinah's POV

I am going to kill Normani for cockblocking me. I can't believe I was this close to kissing Zendaya and we got interrupted by my phone. Maybe if it was on silent I could have ignored it and stayed upstairs with Zendaya for a bit longer, but apparently Jilly doesn't trust Google Maps and didn't use directions and got lost. Why didn't they call Lauren since she drove us here in the first place? Thank god that girl is pretty because she is an idiot. We get back outside and I join my friends who have their own table now and wait for them to say something.

"So where were you two just now?"

"Nowhere we were just in Zendaya's room talking."

"This whole time? Just talking? That can't be all you did."

"Well we didn't go up to her room straight away she showed me around the house then we ended up in her room."

"And you just ended up in her room alone just talking? This doesn't sound like you D-Mac."

"That's because I want more than one night with her. I want to actually date this girl."

"Well I think Zendaya could be good for you and I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there."

"Why thank you Ally and screw you Camila."

"What did I do?"

"Asking all those stupid questions about my whereabouts. Why can't you be more like Lauren?"

"You mean so into her phone she's not even here right now?"

I look over at the topic of the conversation and her face is so far in her phone she could be an emoji right now. Bet she's texting Normani right now.

"Hey Lauren where are Normani and Jilly right now?"

"About three blocks away, they should be here in like ten minutes."

"Who you texting then?"

"You already know so why are you asking me this question?"

"Just wanted to tease you that's all. I'm kinda mad at Normani right now though."

"Why are you mad at her?"

"Because when we were up in Zendaya's room we were about to kiss and right as we were leaning in she called me and I had to pull away to give her directions to get here."

"Damn. Was this the first time you tried to kiss her?"

"Yes on our date she was like super respectful and kissed me on the cheek and that was on Tuesday. We haven't seen each other outside of FaceTime since then."

"Well don't sweat it DJ we know she likes you. Just wait until you get her alone it will happen trust me."

"Ally I love you. You always know what to say."

Ally winks at me from her spot then sips her drink making me smile. I get up and go grab a drink of my own but my phone goes off and I just know it's Normani letting me know she's here. I quickly grab a water and head inside to let her in and bring her and Jilly out to the back where everyone is. From the corner of my eye I see Zendaya walking over to us so I stop them.

"Woah those are some big trays. You two must be Normani and Jilly. Now I can finally put a face to the names."

"Yeah well we wanted to bring you some HTown so Jilly has some homemade peach cobbler and I have a tray of barbecue from one of our favorite places in the city."

"You guys didn't have to bring anything."

"Yeah Dinah told us we didn't have to but we felt bad about coming over and eating all your food when we barely know you."

"I appreciate that. Come on this way so you can put those with the rest of the food."

I watch them all walk away and as I follow them my phone goes off in my pocket. I see the notification for a text from Tori telling me she's on her way because they let her leave earlier than expected and she has the food from the restaurant with her. I smile at my phone before going back over to my friends who are talking to Zendaya and by the looks of it I need to go save her.

"Hey what are you guys talking about?"

"Music. They were jammin to the music and I told them I made the playlist and we just went from there."

"Let me grab a chair then."

"No here take mine I took your chair anyway I'll get my own."

As Zendaya walks away I sit in the chair she just vacated for me with a smile. I look at all my other friends and they're all smirking at me and I can tell they want to say something but Zendaya comes back with her chair before they get the chance to. As she gets situated next to me I see Normani out of the corner of my eye staring at me. I'm going to have to talk to her sooner of later but I choose later because she twatblocked me earlier.

Zendaya's POV (about twenty minutes later )

I have never laughed this much while sober in my life. I have been sitting here listening to Ally and Normani tell stories for the last twenty minutes and I am dying. I look around the little group we have and notice that Dinah is missing. I look around the rest of my backyard and spot her at the food table with my brother hovering around her like a mosquito. She doesn't look to happy to have him around so I head over to save her.

"Hey Trev."

"Oh hey Z, what's up?"

"Nothing just wanted to get a bottle of water. What about you?"

"Oh I'm just talking to Dinyah here."

"You mean Dinah?"

"Yeah. I must have been so distracted by her beauty that I didn't hear her name properly."

"What are you two talking about?"

"Oh I was asking her if she could show me around town since I haven't seen much of it yet."

Always stealing my moves and doing them wrong. "Oh and what did she say?"

"She said I wasn't her type. So now I'm asking her what her type is."

"Dinah is that true?"

"Yeah I was actually about to answer when you walked up."

"Do you mind if I stay and listen?"

"No it's fine. Anyway Trevor you wanted to know what my type is? My type is girls. I'm gay. And a word of advice? Don't steal your sister's lines she has more swag and can actually pull them off."

She picks up her plate, pats him on his shoulder with her free hand, and walks away from us. I watch her walk away, knowing this whole thing is about to become a story for all of her friends to hear, trying my best to hold in my laughter. When I turn back to my older brother, by two minutes, it's like a dam burst and I start laughing my ass off at what just happened. Now this isn't the first time we were both attracted to the same girl but this is the first time the girl chose me. Normally she's already taken and picks neither of us, or she's straight. Since we only went to elementary school together we never really fought over girls like that and we would share pick up lines that worked for us in the past. I was normally the one in relationships so I would give him all my smoothest lines since he needs help flirting with girls. The day after I met Dinah I told him about how I got her number and I never thought he would use the same line on her to get her number. And he even used it wrong! I finally stop laughing and catch my breath before addressing my brother about all the things he did wrong.

"Wow I needed that laugh. I haven't laughed that hard in a while!"

"Whatever Z! Why didn't you say Dinah was your girl I would have backed off?"

"Because I like seeing you embarrass yourself. And she's not my girl yet. Which by the way I need to talk to you about that."

"I don't like that look on your face Z. What do you have planned?"

"Oh nothing too big, just listen."

Dinah's POV

I love making my friends laugh. I just got done telling my friends what just happened between Zendaya's brother and I at the food table and they're all dying laughing. None of the girls in the group, except Jilly, are straight so it's even funnier when one of us get's asked if we are. Even when we're all out together we have plans for when we get unwanted guy attention. After the laughing has died down I pull out my phone to check the time and my messages.

"So Dinah why didn't you say that Zendaya was your girlfriend? I'm sure he would have left you alone if you said that."

"Because she isn't. She hasn't asked me to be her's officially, yet."

"Yet?"

"Yeah, I know she wants to be with me but I want to wait and go on a few more dates before I ask her."

"What if she asks you?"

"I'm not gonna say no if she asks me to be her girlfriend before I'm ready to ask her. All that matters is that we like each other and want to be together."

"You remind me of when I was started dating Tori. We dated for a whole month before we made it official."

"Well if we end up an old married couple like you two I'm gonna wait as long as possible."

Ally laughs at me calling her and Tori an old married couple and then her phone rings. Sitting right next to her I can hear the other person on the phone and know it's Tori. She's saying she just pulled up on a block with loud music and doesn't know which house is Zendaya's. I grab my water and tap Ally's arm to tell her to hand me the phone so I can talk.

"Hey T."

"Hey DJ."

"Look Ally and I are going to go stand out on Zendaya's porch so you can see which house it is okay?"

"Okay see you in a few."

Tori hangs up and Ally and I make our way through the house to the porch and wait until we see Tori's car or until she sees us, whichever comes first. When she spots us she parks behind Lauren's car and we meet her as she gets out.

"Thanks guys I would have been driving in circles if you two didn't help."

"No problem T glad you called and asked for help. Where are the chips and stuff?"

"Backseat. If my boss ask I'm was doing a catering job and that's why I left early."

"When and why would we be talking to your boss T?"

"......Good point. Let's get inside I want some ribs."

I shake my head at my friend and lead her and Ally to the backyard. When we get there Zendaya comes up to us, her hostess role in full swing, greeting Tori. She grabs the bag of chips from my hands before she even speaks.

"Tori nice to see you again. Let me show where you can put that stuff so you can relax. I heard you came here straight from work."

"I did. Speaking of which the chips, guac, and salsa are all courtesy of work so enjoy them."

"I'm sure we will. Thanks for bringing this stuff by the way...."

Zendaya and Tori walk away still talking and I smile and how easily they are getting along. No one can ever dislike or stay mad at Tori too long before she changes your mind. It reminds me of when Z thought Tori was flirting with me at the restaurant and I remember that the girls don't know that story yet. Once I'm back in my seat I wait until the other two people apart of this story make their way to us so I can tell my story. When they find some seats and Tori literally let's her hair down I start telling the story. When I'm done Zendaya is blushing from embarrassment and Ally has tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. Everyone else is looking between Tori and I and laughing.

"You know if Tori wasn't already married to Ally. I could see her and Dinah being cute together."

"Hey now watch it Lauren. You're still new we can kick you out of the squad if you act up."

"Hey calm down Ally it was just an observation."

"I think we need to disperse for a bit and re-group. Lauren want to hit the makeshift dance floor with me?"

"I would love to Normani."

One by one everyone starts to get up and do something. The only ones left sitting are myself, Zendaya, and Tori. I look at Tori and I can tell that the only reason she didn't get up too is because she's tired from work earlier.

"Hey."

I look over at Zendaya, giving her my full attention as she speaks.

"Wanna dance?"

"But the playlist is in between songs."

"Yeah but I know what's next and I'm sure you'll want to dance when you hear it."

As she says that the next song starts and it's Zhane - Hey Mr. DJ. I smile at her before standing, holding my hand out for her to take, and she leads me over to where everyone else is dancing. She then puts her hand on my waist and we just groove for the next few songs. The rest of the BBQ was a ton of fun after that and I can tell everyone had a great time. When it's time for us to go Jilly leaves first leaving Normani because she wasn't wasting her gas driving her home when she was just down the block. Normani leaves with Lauren and Camila, leaving me to get a ride home from Tori and Ally. Everyone else is gone already, Tori and Ally are waiting in the car wanting to give Zendaya and I a private moment to say goodbye to each other. I'm standing by the doorway of the kitchen watching Zendaya put some of the food away in the kitchen. We were all the last to leave so the party is pretty much over when I walk out the door. I hear her close the fridge and I don't even have to look up to know she's walking towards me. I wonder if I'll get a kiss goodbye? She grabs my hand and silently leads me to the door and stops. She's not even looking at me. She's just looking at our joined hands a playing with my fingers. Her actions put me back in her room when we were on her bed and we almost kissed. She's nervous I can tell but of what I don't know. I wish I could read her mind or just know what she's thinking. I move my hand gaining her attention making her look up and straight in my eyes. I watch her closely and see her eyes drop down to my lips more than once and it all clicks. She's nervous about kissing me because she doesn't know if I want her to kiss me. I decide to take charge and let go of one of her hands making her look down again. I cup the side of her face with my now free hand and slowly start to lean in. I hear her breath hitch I'm so close, but she doesn't seem to be pushing me away so I close the distance and kiss her. I hear a whimper and I don't even know which one of us did it at this point. All I know is that her hands are on my hip and her lips are incredibly soft against mine. I part my lips and her tongue makes itself known in my mouth turning this goodbye kiss into a make out session. Her hands are squeezing my hips and I moan without even knowing I did it. I feel like I'm in heaven right now but nothing good can ever happen for me. In the distance I hear a horn honking and I know that it's Tori and Ally doing it. I detach our lips reluctantly but keep our foreheads touching while we catch our breath. Best first kiss ever!

"I hate my friends."

"No you don't."

"They keep interrupting us, so yes I hate them."

"You better go before they start knocking on the door."

"Okay....Call me later?"

"Of course."

I lean in one more time for another kiss then I leave her embrace to head to Tori's car. I get in and put on my seatbealt wordlessly. As Tori drives off I look back at Z's house and see her standing in the doorway watching the car leave. I smile to myself, a plan already forming in my head for when I see her again.
