i run to the car and pull at the handle. i forcefully try to tug it open but the locked door wouldnt budge. i look back at the entrance of the door and see my three friends running towards me. i pull the handle once more before sighing and turning around and leaning my back against the car.

i sink into a ball and cry. i feel a warm embrace around me and i lean into their arms. i look up to see payton, hugging me with a distressed look on his face. "it was my ex, jake, he- hes been trying to get me back lately and" i explain but fell his hug tighten. "its okay, you're ok, im here" he whispers.

i feel a tear drop on my shoulder and i look up and see payton crying. i wrap my arms around him. suddenly, i hear an unfamiliar voice. "its okay, lets just... go to a different kfc? lets not let him ruin our time" i say, more to myself than the others. we stand up and tate hugs me tightly before we get in the car again.

i grab the aux cord and giggle, before practically blasting disney. me and tate yell the lyrics while the guys just laugh at us. we arrive and get our food. i eat a chip and stare at it. "what?" sam asks me. i look up at him and smile "its so good" every one laughs. i smile and eat another chip.
