It's been a week since Dahlia's Party. Not much has happened other than me going to practice every damn day. Onyx, oliver, and Roman are all on my team as well. They get me going in the morning because they are so insanely obnoxious. The first thing I hear every morning is shouting because one is taking too long in the shower.

Right now, it's the morning.

"Oliver, you have been in there for an hour." Onyx says in a firm tone that echoes through the house. "I need to brush my teeth, asshole."

I flip over and shove my face into my pillow. My door swings open, hitting my wall, causing me to snap up. "RISE AND SHINE SWEET STUFF." Roman smiles with his hair covering his eyes. "LETS GO LETS GOOOO" he sings marching in place, looking me dead in the eye as he does so.

Oh my god. He's actually a child.

"Roman." My voice raspy, running my hand through my messy hair. "There is no need to be singing and screaming at six in the morning, okay?"

"Fine." He sighs, rolls his eyes, and stomps out of the room. "Ten minutes until we leave."

"Ten minutes my ass." I fall back onto the bed, closing my eyes, and attempting to go back to sleep. But that's quickly interrupted when a pillow slaps me in the face.

I'm met with Oliver. Surprisingly, I'm not very shocked. "Oi, let's get going." He throws my clothes at me then walks off. "OLAY OLAY OLAY OLAYY"

Roman, Oliver, and I have been waiting outside for Onyx for a good ten minutes. We all finished getting ready, ate breakfast, packed the stuff we need-this was twenty minutes ago. Onyx said he was ready but clearly not. "What is he doing? Talking to Lance?" Oliver questions in a frustrated tone.

"No, Lance spent the night at Estrellas." I remind him as I scroll through instagram, bored out of my mind.

"Oh yeah, I saw Valentina was posting on snap with all of them last night. I think they were celebrating that Lance and strella got leads in a new show. I could be wrong though." Roman pitches in, making me look up from my phone. He noticed my suddenly movement and gives me a confused look. "What?"

"He's celebrating with her?"

"I mean, yeah, that's his girlfriend?" He tells me with a blank expression.

"Not Estrella, dumbass. I'm talking about Valentina."

"What about her?"

"Yeah, what about her?" Oliver crosses his arms over his chest, moving over to stand beside Roman. "Val could potentially be my sister-in-law, so watch yourself."

Roman looks at Oliver and crosses his arms too. "Yeah."

"Are you being serious? You been talking to Florence for like a month. What-never mind." I shake my head being annoyed with Oliver's stupidity. "And you Roman. You're eighteen, stop acting like you're five. You are your own person, stop copying Oliver."

"Hey, that's mean. I don't copy him."

"I mean, you kinda do, Ro." Oliver tells him, looking down at the floor.

"Bro you're supposed to have my back. You guys are so fake."

"Oh my god." I sigh while running my hand through my hair again. "You guys are actually so incredibly imitare."

"You literally twerk as a celebration." Roman side eyes me, "you're just mad your brother likes Valentina more than you."

"I'm not mad. I'm annoyed that he didn't even tell me he got the part. I'm annoyed that he doesn't tell me anything. I'm annoyed that he enjoys being around a girl that has apparently been ignoring me for years. And I'm mostly annoyed that he spends more time with Valentina then he does with me." I say truthfully, and they just stare at me.

"Oh." Oliver is first to speak up, scratching the back of his neck.

"My bad." Roman adds on, looking at everything but me. "I was just joking, I'm sorry." He rocks back and forth on his heels awkwardly.

"AYEEEE" Onyx comes skipping out of the house with a bright smile on his face. "I AM READYYY." He looks at the three of us and visibly frowns. "What?"

"Nothing." I open the driver's door and get in, not saying another word. Why did I even tell them all of that? I am actually upset that Lance didn't tell me though. It makes me more upset that people who aren't even related to him knew before me. I snap out of my thoughts when the three of them get in the car silently, and I can feel them staring at me. I don't say anything because they're just going to want to talk about the whole thing.

I look in the Rearview mirror and see Onyx mouthing "what happened" to the two of them. They just give him wide eyes and wave him off. He sighs then turns his attention to me. "Are you guys busy tonight?"

I turn the car on and pull out of the driveway. "I'm free."

"Same," Roman replies, pulling out his phone, not even looking at Onyx. I can tell he's ignoring Onyx because if he talks to him he will end up telling him what happened.

"I think Florence said she wanted to do something but I'm not sure." Oliver looks back at Onyx with a slight smile, trying to make him feel less awkward.

"Okay well, Valentina" Roman and Oliver make wide eyes and look at me. Onyx doesn't notice so he keeps talking. "She's throwing a party, movie night, board game night, I don't remember but she invited me. She said I can bring whoever." Onyx tells us, I roll my eyes at the sound of her name.

"Bro." Oliver says with a sigh, and shaking his head. "you have got to get better timing."
