Friends and Alibis

I hadn't talked to any of the guys, including Zack, for about 4 days. It was Saturday morning now. Since I had no other friends in Huntington yet and nothing to do, I had unpacked all the boxes the previous days and was now bored to death. I had been lying around the apartment, on my couch, bed, even the carpet in my living room and I didn't even bother to turn on the TV anymore. The program consisted of reruns only anyway.

I decided to call Katelyn, since I had only talked to her once to tell her that I had landed safely.

When I finally found my phone I promptly called her and waited for the ringing to end.

"Katelyn?"

"Hey honeybee, how's it going?"

"I'm lonely and I miss you." I told her truthfully with a pout, though she couldn't see me.

"Aww, I miss you too!" She exclaimed with a chuckle.

"I can't wait for you to finally get your butt down to Huntington."

"I'll be there soon, two weeks to go! Anyway, have you met any of the guys yet? Have you met Zack?" She asked and I could clearly here her trying to stifle her laugh.

"Yes, my dear, I've met all of them. And more." I muttered the last part.

"Who?" I could imagine the frown forming on her face.

"His fiancée... Seriously, you know everything about bands, why didn't you tell me he was fucking engaged?" I whined, not bothering that I had just sworn.

"Unfortunately, I didn't know about a fiancée either. Apparently my stalking skills are ceasing." She laughed. "But what is she like?"

"Attitude or looks?" I asked, though I know what she wanted to know.

"Attitude first please." She chuckled, guessing that I definitely held a grudge against Amelia.

"Truth or Lie?" I asked.

"The utterly naked truth, honey. What's her name anyway?"

"Amelia. And I already considered punching her although I've only met her twice." I told her.

"Wow, that bad?" She chuckled.

"Yeah..." I groaned. "And on top of that she's a model and so utterly stuck up. Not to mention she hates my guts."

"Wow, sounds definitely bad." She muttered. "Does she know who you're working for yet?"

"I didn't tell her but the guys know, so I guess yes." I sighed. "Want to have the cherry on top of her ego ridden attitude?"

"Spill the beans!" She pried.

"Matt walked in on her cheating for the fifth time alone this year." I told her with another sigh. There was a long silence on the other end of the line until I heard a low whistle.

"That's ... a lot. Like, a lot a lot."

"The boys want to split them up with my help and I don't want to do that. Katelyn, help me." I whined with a pout.

"You know what, I'll come next weekend. I didn't want to leave earlier 'cause I thought you'll need your time settling in but that's too much drama to stay away from." She chuckled. She had always been such a gossip whore.

"Gee, thanks that you’re coming because of me." I snickered. Just then another call came down the line and I told Kate that I'd see her next week.

"Hello?" I answered, the caller was unknown to me.

"May, honey. It's me, Maria." Mrs. Baker chimed from the other end of the line. I didn't bother to ask where she had gotten my number from, seeing as she had about five people in close proximity.

"Hello, Mrs. Baker." I replied with a friendly tone.

"I just wanted to call and ask if you'd like to join us for dinner tomorrow." She sounded hopeful. I didn't ponder to long over it since I knew that I had nothing to do and it would be good to get out for once again before I started my job on Monday.

"Of course, I'd love to."

"Wonderful. Come around six, James has been dying to see you, too." She told me and I had to stifle a laugh at the memory of Zack's dad. He was always... an odd one. Lovable but odd.

He used to take Zack and I to all the baseball games in our area, to say he was a big fan was a big understatement. He even cried once when his favourite team lost. Thank God, that was the only time they lost while I was around.

"Alright, see you then." I replied, still a smile on my face before standing up and moping around my whereabouts again, waiting for tomorrow afternoon to arrive.
