ELLY
"Come on, Elly! The bus will be here in less than five minutes!" Griffin shouts from downstairs. I jog back down the stairs to my duffel and small suitcase and toss my charger inside.
"Sorry," I say when I look back over at him. "I just forgot my charger."
"Yeah, I can see that. Did you get everything else?" Griffin asks, looking in his own bag.
"Yeah. Oh, is that it?" I look out the window and see a black bus pulling up at our house.
"Yeah. Here, I'll get the suitcases, you get the duffels." Griffin grabs both of our suitcases, so I grab the duffel bags and follow him out the door. A tan, curly-headed boy and a pale, skinnier boy hop off the bus and run over to him.
"Hey, Griff," the curly-headed one calls.
"Hey," Griffin calls back in response. He looks back at me. "Guys, this is Elly."
"I'm Anthony," the skinny one says. I smile and nod at him before he gets my suitcase from Griffin and begins to help him put it under the bus.
"I'm Jaden," the curly-headed boy says, coming over to greet me. "I'm excited that you got added to the second phase of tour. Griffin has told us a lot about you. Good things, of course." We both laugh. "Here, let me get one of those."
"Oh, you don't have to. They aren't heavy," I try to protest.
"It's not a problem." He reaches over and grabs Griffin's bag from off my shoulder and slings it over his back. "So, how old are you again?"
"16."
"Cool. I'm 18, but everyone here is around our ages. Do you want to sit with me on the bus?" Jaden smiles down at me, getting on the first step.
"Oh, sure." I follow him up the steps to the somewhat-crowded bus.
"Guys, this is Elly," he calls out to the five-or-so people already on the bus.
"Griffin's sister!" someone shouts, then scoots over to the aisle seat from where he had been sitting by the window. "I'm Payton. It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too."
"Don't lie, Elly. It's never fun to meet Payton," Griffin says, coming up behind me. Payton scoffs from his seat, but Griffin just rolls his eyes. "Do you want to sit with me?"
"I already got dibs on her," Jaden replies, laughing and pulling me down onto a seat with him. I just give Griffin a small shrug as he sits down a few rows behind Payton on the other side of the aisle. "So," Jaden behinds, and I look back over at him. "Are you excited to meet fans?"
   "Yeah. Do you know how many more people we pick up before we get to Houston?" I ask, turning to face him.
   "Six. More people got added to Lights Out kind of last minute after some people weren't able to make it, so I don't know if you heard. We go get the Wauds first, then Madison, and then the Bakers. They weren't on the first phase of tour, but Josh was. We pick him up last, and then go to Houston." Jaden nods, shaking his hair. "You'll like them all, I think."
   "Cool."
   Anthony moves back a row so that he is in front of us. "Hey, Elly. How are you?"
   "I'm doing good. You?"
   "Fine. Nervous at all?"
   "Not really. And anyways, the first event isn't for a few days." I shrug again, looking around at the other people on the bus. Payton and Griffin are both on their phones with earbuds in, and Noen and Chase, who I've met once before, are asleep. Who I think is Sam is in the very back of the bus, sleeping, too.
   "Yeah, we aren't that exciting this early in the morning," Jaden laughs.
   "Have you met everyone already?" Anthony asks.
   "Well, I just met Payton, and I met Noen and Chase once before. That's Sam, right?" I point to the back, and Anthony nods.
   "Yeah. The other Chase is in the seat in front of him, but you can't really see him," Jaden says, standing up and looking towards the back. "Yeah, he's back there. He's got his earbuds in."
   "Let's shoot him a text," Anthony suggests. "And then we can get you in the group chat."
   "Okay." I nod as he pulls his phone out. A few seconds later, steps come up the aisle, and Chaser sits down next to Anthony. He pulls his earbuds out.
   "Hi. Elly, right?"
   "Yeah." I give him a smile, and then he shoves his earbuds into his pocket.
   "Oh yeah, you're Griffin's younger sister." He nods, then folds his elbows against the back of the headrest. "I didn't even realize that we had stopped. Nice to meet you."
   "You, too."
   "Hey, lets all get your number," Jaden says and pulls out his phone. I pull mine out, too, and swap with him. I get in his contacts and put my name and number in, then hand it back to him.
   "Thanks." Jaden hands my phone to Anthony, who hands it to Chaser after putting his number in. I put my number in both of their phones, too.
   "I'll add you to the group," Chaser says. A few seconds later, a text notification comes up.
   "That's the name of your group?" I laugh when I see that their group chat's name is Crackhead TikTok Tingz.
   "Yeah. I think the other Chase came up with it a few weeks ago," Jaden says, then laughs. "It kind of just stuck after a while."
   "Alright." I smile and put my phone away.
   "Hey, lets make some TikToks or something. I'm already bored," Anthony groans out with a dramatic sigh.
"If only we knew anyone that had TikTok," I joke. "What a shame that we don't."
"That was good." Chaser gives me a high five, smirking. We laugh as Anthony rolls his eyes and Jaden sighs, falling against me.
