AFTER PACKING & PREPARING arduously, Chelsea and I were finally heading towards New York, New York for the prestigious Millennium Academy. It's ranked number three in the country and ten in the world and has a very low acceptance rate. I still don't understand how I got in because the only thing I'm good at involves physical activity & eating and I didn't see anything about eating class. Unlucky for me, there is no turning back anymore. This new reality has been set in stone now.

I took a seat on a chair in our gate area and was preparing to take a power nap because our flight doesn't depart until an hour later, until Chelsea comes running towards me having an aroused smile on her face. I shook my eyes and prepared myself for the inevitable. I'm usually up for her craziness because we're both equally as erratic & carefree but in all honesty she just terminated the only chance I had to take a nap.

"Hoe, guess what," she beamed trying to contain her excitement. She was fidgeting all over and had al, this excitement radiating off of her that it was very contagious.

"What? You ran into Lauren Jauregui? Or let me guess, you found yourself a new boyfriend." I suggested. Chelsea once had a boyfriend named Kayden. After a few months, he decided to come out of the closet which led Chelsea to say she's bisexual which ended in a total flop. Let's just say, if you're going to pretend to be bisexual, at least act like it.

"Man I wish I met Lauren, and no I have not scored a boyfriend yet, I don't feel like going through with another Kayden." She said twirling a strand of loose hair.

"Then what are you talking about?" I asked her.

"Look-eth, over there-eth." She said putting one hand on my head, positioning it and the other pointing towards the direction of the other side of the gate area, towards the windows. I wanted to see what all of her excitement was for. I examined closer and only saw a guy, sitting down pressed against the window with a hoodie pulled over his messy, tousled hair. He appeared to be sleeping. What was all of the excitement about? She's acting like he's some sort of celebrity.

      "At a guy in a hoodie? We see them all over LA."

      "Come with me, we're going on a short field trip." Before I could protest, she dragged me from my chair and towards where Mr. Anonymous was power napping which I was actually trying to accomplish until this delusional friend of mine comes over to me, spoiling my precious vibe.

We maneuvered our way through the rows of chairs filled with bustling passengers ready to hop on flights. When we arrived at Mr. Anonymous, he seemed to be fast asleep and looked so peaceful. At first, I started to pray that she didn't wake him up, because one he's a complete stranger, and two he looks so serene. Unfortunately, Chelsea wasn't using her brain & yelled "PUTA, WAKE THE FUCK UP. WE HAVE THE NEWEST ADDITION OF THE SQUAD RIGHT NOW!" Everyone dropped everything and stared wide eyed at the spectacle. I turned red with embarrassment and smiled cheekily as I fell to the ground with laughter.

The guy in the hoodie jolts in astonishment, takes off his hoodie, scans his surroundings and looks up at Chelsea. "Oh shit Chels, is that the best you can do?"

How do they know each other? I caught a glimpse of his face and instantly recognized it. It's been all over my Instagram feed and every teenage magazine that's sold in stores - Ashton Wenthrop, that one 'model' you find yourself fangirling over. I have to admit, I once was in a phase where I crushed on him. But that can't be him, because she's never even mentioned him, let alone say anything about knowing him.

"Shut up Ashton. I promise you I will make you die in a more epic way than this." Called it. It is him from all of the pictures that I may or may not have saved in my phone.

      "Who's the newest addition, you said she's great at soccer?" He asked standing up. I felt as he was describing me because I am pretty great at soccer and happen to be a new addition to the squad. But why would he go to the same school as Chelsea? I didn't want to jump to conclusions so soon so I just kept quiet which momentarily is hard for me.

"That hoe in the floor." Chelsea responded pointing to me. I smiled cheekily and waved as he turned his head. I instantly started staring into his deep chocolate eyes. Something about him felt so vaguely familiar, yet at the same time unfamiliar. He looked even more stunning in real life than in pictures on Instagram.

"Hola hi!" I responded, climbing back on my knees and sitting down criss cross applesauce on the floor facing the two.

"Como estas how are you? He asked nonchalantly.

"Bien, y tu good, how about you?" I asked continuing our Spanish banter.

"Get on my level," Chelsea glared at him, "ok I'll rephrase that, hi I'm Ashton and I'm better than you at soccer so you should probably get on my level." He responded.

"Cocky much?" I asked raising an eyebrow, "I'd like to inform you that this person has led her team to semi finals for every year, so you should probably get on my level."

"Bitch, square up! See, we've won regionals, nationals, and world championships so I think you should find your place in the queue of people under me." He jokingly replied. I sputtered with laughter as I watched him talk so highly of himself. Honestly, I also am very full of myself so I can kind of relate. But still, nowhere near as prideful as him. As it seems, we're going to be competing very often which I'm completely fine with. Come at me.

"Come at me!" I replied standing and charging towards him.

He scoffed, "Save it for later."

I turned my infuriation down a bit. I inhaled deeply and gained composure.

"Aurora meet Ashton. Ashton meet Aurora. Don't worry, I've started planning the wedding already because I see explosive chemistry underway." She gushed.

"I always knew you were insane Chelsea, but not that crazy. Get married to that one?" He said pointing towards me, "first I already have a girlfriend whom I love dearly, and two, I don't date girls who I don't know so until then, please cancel all preparations."

"I see it in the stars puta, stop killing my vibe."

"Prostitute? I show nowhere as much skin as you to be honest."

"Hoe, let me inform you that you play soccer with your shirt tied around your head and are always exposing your abs. I swear to god, everyone there is probably sliding into your DM's saying "send more nudes" or something." Chelsea fired back.

"Moving on," I interjected before they got any closer to defenestration or ripping each other's heads off, "let's all be friends and board the plane."

"My flight leaves at four and the time is about 2:45 so I'm dipping." He replied checking his phone.

"Same with us hoe, so I guess we're dipping together." I replied.

"I said 'I'm' not 'we' last time I checked."

"And there's no 'we' in fries, yet you steal all of mine so we're even. Aurora, let's dip." She said following Ashton who seemed to despise the idea of us trailing behind him, but the more, the merrier.

WE LANDED IN NEW YORK AT AROUND 12:00 AM. The city was really illuminated at night with lights strung everywhere, shining brightly lighting up the night. All three of us headed towards the baggage claim area to collect our many belongings. Since it was too late to go to Millennium Academy, I was getting picked up by my aunt and taken to her house then was supposed to head to school in two days.

As for Chelsea, she said she'll meet me at my aunts house in the morning. I waved a quick goodbye to both her and Ashton who was waiting for his girlfriend to arrive. A few girls who seemed to recognize him despite his sad attempt of covering it up with a hoodie, decided to engage in taking selfies with him. Fifteen minutes later, a black BMW M6 finally pulls up and my immediately my cousins- Sage and Sarai hop out of both the driver's seat and the passengers seats and tumble me to the floor in hugs.

Sage and Sarai are my cousins from my mom's side. Sage is eighteen but is still in high school, while Sarai is sixteen. Sage had long brown hair, hazel brown eyes and the brightest personality ever. Sarai, is more of the laid back one who's very good to be around if you just wanna relax. Even though there's a moderate age gap between the two, the resemblance is real. They look exactly like each other except for the height gap. Not even Adrianna and I resemble each other to that degree.

"IT'S BEEN AGES SINCE WE'VE SEEN EACH OTHER LAST' I MISSED YOU LIKE HELL!" Sage yelled tightening her grip around my neck. I would've responded but I was basically scraping for air.

"You're choking the guest of honor to death!" Sarai replied diving into the action.

She released her grip and I exhaled like I'd been choked to death for ages. I sputtered out coughs on the floor and finally collapsed on my back sighing in satisfaction. "Thank you Sarai." I breathed out.

"Are you okay?" Sage asked.

"Not after you basically throttled me, but I'm fine now." I said catching my breath before standing. There was a shooting pain running through my calves and I winced in pain to fight off some pain. I hobbled to the back row of the car and prepared for the short drive to the penthouse. As Sage turned on the engine, Bop City 2 : TerroRising began to play loudly. All three of us basically yelled the lyrics to Caramel while Sage sped down the highway, yelling "SKRT SKRT" out of the window every time a car tried to overtake her.

I stared out of the window staring in awe at the bustling, yet beautiful city called New York City. The way the different buildings lit up at night, twinkling like diamonds in the sky as they shone through the night. The lights on the Brooklyn Bridge and the buildings surrounding facing the shoreline of Hudson River made a clear reflection on the water. I made sure to capture it on Snapchat and add it to my story.

      Basically living in New York wouldn't be so bad. I can actually picture what it would be like just driving through the night to clear my mind. It's a totally different scene from typical Los Angeles, but still had some similarities.

☆彡

      WE ARRIVED AT THE PENTHOUSE AT AROUND 1 AM in the morning. Sage stumbled to the door and struggled to insert the key in the keyhole but after some much needed assistance from Sarai. According to Sage, it was only them at the house. Her parents were in London, yet to return one week later. My luggage was being carried by the very kind doorman.

Sage swung open the door walked towards a white L- shaped couch and collapsed onto the long side of it. The maid spotted my belongings, greeted me and disappeared upstairs with my stuff. The living room was very expansive and had a breathtaking view of the Empire State Building. The contemporary theme throughout the house gave it a very cozy feel throughout. The sweet aroma of warm vanilla wafted throughout the room.

"Oh, let me show you your room for the whole year." Sage replied getting up. I followed her towards the stairs, under which a black baby grand piano was sitting underneath. The iron railings of the stairs felt cold as I ran my hands through them. I followed her down the left side of the place till the last door on the hallway. I spotted my belongings on the floor in front of the room. I swung open the door, turned on the light switch and stared at the room.

The room was very expansive and had gray walls. White curtains had been draped over the windows. I drew them back lightly and pressed my face against the cold, hard glass peering down below. I danced in the curtains and became entangled within them.

I opened the various doors within the room. I located the closet and dragged my stuff inside. I decided I wouldn't unpack until I arrived at Millennium. After clearing up the room, I stared at the walls. The room was dark, due to me turning off the lights. There seemed to be framed quotes hanging but I was too tired to read them. The time was already two AM and I was just ready to collapse into bed. I jumped into bed and landed on the softest cloud of sheets. My head sank into the pillows as I made myself nice and snuggly underneath the blankets.

☆彡

BY THE TIME I WOKE UP LATEE THAT MORNING, it was already ten AM. Usually I'm still lost in reverie at this time but somehow my instincts decided to get up early. The soft morning rays of the sun peaked through the curtains, illuminating the room. I yawned loudly and stretched before getting out of bed and heading towards the bathroom where I brushed my teeth, washed my face, quickly showered, and changed into the outfit of the day :

A tan brown t-shirt, medium wash high waisted shorts, and Vans. I wore my white baseball cap that said "#GUCCIGANG" in all caps and let my long brown hair flow down my hair. I realized how uneven and split my ends were but what does it matter, imperfectly imperfect. I decided to ditch the makeup game for today and go out fresh faced.

"This hoe actually looks Gucci." Sage called from downstairs. I looked over the balcony and saw her wearing a striped black shirt, dark wash jeans, Adidas superstars, and a cap that said "#VERSACEPOSSE".

"Looking Versace girl!" I called.

"How about me?" Sarai asked walking out of her room. She was dressed in black overalls, a white crop top, Steve Madden tennis shoes, and a baseball cap that screamed "YVES 2K17" in all caps.

"Yves has some serious potential judging the fact that she's popping in that hat." Sage replied. "Hey, we all look designer today. We Gucci right?" I asked hinting my hat.

"Gucci Gang yo!" Sage yelled.

I headed downstairs into the kitchen, where Ms. Langford was preparing a delicious breakfast. Omelettes were cooking on the stove while waffles were being made and fruit was set out. I greeted her as I walked past. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it from its pocket and saw a text message from Chelsea.

10:35 | FC CHELSEA ;
are you ready? im omw right
now to pick you up so u better be.

10:36 | flOP™ 🌹🌼
sadly im ready & am awaiting
ur arrival. when r u coming.

10:37 | FC CHELSEA ;
SEE U IN TEN !!

      I set my phone on the glass table as I started munching on some pineapple slices. "Eh, no. Get away from me you demon. I'm allergic to pineapple." Sarai replied backing up and shaking her head.

      I snickered, "In that case I'll continue to eat pineapple." I replied setting my slice on a napkin.

"I'm literally sleep! This is why I love Aurora, she literally gives no fucks about anything and is just chill." Sage replied popping a grape in her mouth.

I nodded in agreement. Usually, I don't give any fucks about anything because why not? After recovering successfully from my late sister's death and abandoning him two years ago, I've learned to show lack of emotions, put up walls, and act like nothing is wrong.

I don't know why, but ever since I caught sight of Ashton at the airport, I've started to reminisce more about him. The dainty moon necklace that I wore around my neck as a reminder of past mistakes and love started to get warner almost as if I was back to July 2015. What if I was getting closer to finding him? Maybe this is a sign of something.

      I heard a loud knock on the door followed by the constant ringing of the doorbell. The gentle chime echoed throughout the penthouse and Ms. Langford scurried to go answer. I already knew it was Chelsea, but just simply stayed in my place. I wasn't ready to get attacked by her.

      "YOLLA CHELSEA!" I yelled as the door was open. The loud click of her heels echoed throughout the living room as she strode into the room. Today she had on a black bralette, green camouflage printed shorts, white ankle boots, a plain white baseball cap, and a huge radiant smile.

      "Who the fuck is Chelsea?" Asked Sage. "Idiot, she's right in front of you. You know the one with the great fashion sense." Sarai pointed out.

"Thank you! You know, this is fr—"

"—moving on," I interjected, before we ended up listening to an hour long harangue from her. Trust me, as much as I love her fashion sense, listening to her banter about the process of selection and buying the outfit went was not on my to do list.

      "Ready to dip!" She asked.

      "Uh you know I am!" I said bolting up.

      "Then let's skrt the fuck out of this joint." Chelsea replied walking away, barely noticing that her phone and keys still were sitting on the counter. I grabbed my belongings and practically skipped out of the door. I locked the door and headed downstairs to the lobby. Usually, I'd just walk down the stairs, into the kitchen, then dip but not today.

      I followed her into the Uber that she called. We both clambered in and greeted the Uber driver who greeted us with a very enthusiastic smile. Alternative music was softly playing in the background as we drove through the scene of New York. We drove farther into the city, towards Upper Manhattan where we were supposed to go shopping for the day. Honestly, I had more than enough things but one shopping trip with Chelsea wouldn't be so bad. Plus I had bands to spend so it's actually an advantage that we came. We walked through the doors of Manhattan Mall and immediately got carried away in the mob of bustling shoppers.

☆彡

      WHEN CHELSEA SAYS WE'RE ONLY GOING SHOPPING LIGHTLY, you already know you're going to be moving through the mall with dozens of bags in each hand, and tired as hell when you're finished. When we crashed through the doors of the penthouse later today, we collapsed on the couches and fell into a short one hour nap.

      When we woke up, all we saw were stacks of bags scattered and strewn across the hardwood floor and the tables. "What the hell happened?" I asked scratching my head and rubbing my eyes. I yawned loudly and stretched out my stiff body. My breath tasted like shit but I didn't care.

      "Yeah what the hell did we do?" Chelsea asked stumbling as she strode across the floor. "Y'all went shopping and spent over $3000 on clothes, shoes, and school stuff." Sage pointed out from upstairs.

      "Thank you Sage for reminding me of how screwed I am." I said yawning and collapsing back on the couch. Why did I even get up in the first place? I question the decisions I make some days. The soft light of the setting sun poured throughout the apartment saturating the furniture in its rays, leaving streaks throughout the place. It appeared to be around seven o'clock.

"Which ones are yours, and which is mine?" Chelsea asked in a raspy tone. As opposed to me who was half asleep, she was basically gaining energy by the second. If I could have some of her energy right now, I'd take it. I feel like a sleep deprived zombie right now.

"The stuff scattered everywhere by the white couch is all mine and the three target bags belong to me." I replied laying down supinely and attempting to close my eyes.

"Well my ride is downstairs right now, so I'm about to blast. I'll see you tomorrow at eleven for the new student orientation and moving in day." She called grabbing her stuff and heading out. I waved bye as the door slammed to a close and fell back on the chairs.

"Yo your friend Chelsea is amazing! Is she single?" Asked Sarai from upstairs.

I laughed hoarsely. "Yeah she's single, but I don't think she's lesbian. I'll ask her though because she's seems interested in you too." She may be actually, after Kayden she reverted towards bisexuality so Sarai has a shot, but of all people Chelsea?

"Bruh!" Sage called from upstairs.

"What, it's twenty seventeen, not the stone ages. It's not like anyone is going to judge." Sarai replied shrugging her shoulders.

"If you want my best friend, have her. Just don't break her heart. Even though you're my cousin, if you hurt my best friend I will hurt you."

Sarai snickered in agreement. After about five seconds of attempting to sleep, I finally gave up and decided to sort my newly bought items.

Mostly everything I bought were clothes and shoes but the other half was school supplies. We stopped at Target to splurge there. I even got locker decorations that had the same theme — rose gold. I looked at everything and decided I don't want anything to do with it now, so I went upstairs and hopped into bed, completely avoiding freshening up.
