"neens!" kourtney calls after her

"hey kourt." nini smiles as she turns around to see her friend approaching her

"were all hanging out at ricky's today. you coming?" she asks

nini feels her heartbeat accelerating. she didn't really know if she could survive spending more time in a room with ricky because the awkward tension was just too much

"i-i don't know-"

"nini." kourtney pleads "i promise it's going to be fun!"

nini takes a deep breath and sees the desperation in her eyes

"o-okay. fine."

kourtney squeals in excitement and hugs nini

"great! we're all going over in an hour okay?"

nini nods and watches her friend walk off in the other direction before going home.

when she arrived home, nini heard her phone buzzing with ej calling her

she takes a deep breath and answers it

"hey babe!" he exclaims

"hey. what's up?" she asks

"i was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?" he suggests

"i can't today. i-have homework." nini lies

"oh! that's fine. how about tomorrow? we can go to this restaurant i'm dying to try." he suggests

nini nods "sure."

"perfect. okay, i'll let you get back to work. love you!" he exclaims

"m-me too." she says before hanging up the phone.
