꩜   first impressions.
real life...

FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF JULES being in la, she felt like she was in a dream. everything around her was so different from what she was used to back at home. she felt like she literally just stepped on the shoot of some hollywood movie. the first thing she noticed was the temperature difference. it was a lot hotter here than it was in boston. then there were all the differences in the surrounding buildings and plants. there were palm trees for crying out loud. she's only ever seen those in movies.

the second she walked out of the airport, it was like all her problems disappeared. everything she was worrying about on the plane, anything she left back at boston, it was all gone. that was until she heard sophia squealing, "oh my god! it's so beautiful! i can't believe i'm here! AHH!" she had forgotten that it was sophia's first time too. it pissed her off even more that she was going to have to share this experience with her, as everyone else in the group has already been here before.

nate obviously came out to la a few times with nick, matt, and chris. while erin actually used to live out here before she moved to boston. well, it wasn't exactly la, but a different, lesser known city in california. there has been multiple occasions where erin would have to remind jules that she lived no where near la, but jules has always just associated la with california too often, so she couldn't ever wrap her head around it.

"so what are your first impressions?" nick asked jules, and only jules. he even walked away from where he was standing on one side of her to the other so it was only directed at her.

"it's so... different." jules responded with now a huge smile on her face. she was just really excited to be here, and not even sophia could completely take that way from her.

erin took it all in, noticing that there was really nothing similar to where she originally came from. knowing that jules could never tell difference, she added with obvious sarcasm, "yeah jules, this is nothing like my home town for perspective."

"i'm sorry i don't know all the different cities of california." jules playfully rolled her eyes, while also meaning what she said. it was hard to pinpoint exactly where erin's used to live when her only knowledge on california is the big cities.

"what are we waiting for exactly?" sophia asked matt, but her voice carried all the way to the other side of the group.

"well we have someone on the way, but we're not all going to fit in their car. comfortably at least."

"so we need to get an uber?" erin immediately asked.

"yeah, i was thinking maybe you, nick, and jules can take the uber?" he suggested the idea to erin, looking at how the three of them were currently standing in their own little group.

jules always hated the idea of ubering anywhere. even the thought of it made her anxious. and matt knew that, so the fact that he just pushed jules into the "uber party" so quickly, rubbed her the wrong way.

"the uber is just gonna be... cooler." nick shrugged his shoulders, referring to the fact that erin and jules were in his group. jules would have agreed with him if the thought of being in an uber didn't make her anxiety skyrocket.

"it's just a fucking car." matt said bitterly, rolling his eyes. although she said nothing to him, jules still felt like he meant to say that to her. his eyes even flickered to hers for a moment.

ONCE EVERYONE GOT TO THE HOUSE and all their things were situated, it was now starting to get dark outside. but despite the obvious sign of the day being over, jules really wanted to go out and do something fun. and whether that "something fun" included matt or not? she surprisingly couldn't bring herself care enough.

while they were on the plane, jules was assigned to nicks room along with himself and erin. sure someone or a few people could sleep on the couch, but the three of them wanted to have a three person sleepover in nicks room. they already talked about making little forts and watching all the iconic movies. nick was also so excited to give jules and erin a little room tour.

that's where the three of them were currently hanging out. they all just finished getting their bags situated and nicks guided, slightly professional room tour. after that, they all just ended up sitting on his bed.

"we should totally do something," jules randomly suggested. she suddenly felt excited with the idea of getting ready to do something.

she had caught nicks attention immediately, though he didn't have much in mind, let alone not knowing what jules wanted to do. "i totally agree. like what?" he wanted to give her the option to pick what they did.

"i don't know," she shrugged, not quite giving him the answer he wanted.

erin chimed in, suggesting, "well, we haven't had dinner yet..." which made jules and nick realize that they were starving. nobody has really eaten anything since they were in boston, so it was probably time they all went and got food.

"we should go out to eat!" nick exclaimed, loving the idea of sitting down at a restaurant and practically being forced to talk to one another. it sounded horrible but sometimes an amazing talk at a restaurant can only be achieved at a restaurant.

"are there any places we should go?"

"i think i've got the perfect idea. hold on one sec, i'm gonna talk to matt and chris." nick got up to go talk to his brothers about the idea. he knew chris would immediately be on board, he loved going out to eat whenever he could. it was just matt that he'd have to convince to drive them all there.

it only took nick about five minutes before he was walking back into his room with a smile on his face. that could only mean one thing, they were about to go out to eat.

nat's notes !

so i've come to the conclusion that erin is just max denison from hocus pocus, but gay.
