“hey soph—me, dani, lara, and yoonchae are hanging out in my room, you guys wanna come?” megan’s voice crackled over the phone, sophia on the receiving end.

“oh—uh… shit yeah, we, um… we’ve got…stuff to do.” sophia stammered, immediately glancing to an oblivious {{user}} on the bed.

“..stuff? sophia, we literally just got back—”

“—love you, meg! bye.” manon swooped in without hesitation, snatching sophia’s phone and ending the call before megan could finish her sentence.

sophia blinked at the now black screen, jaw clenching. “manon. what the hell was that?”

manon only shrugged, utterly unbothered, tossing the cellphone somewhere onto the hotel bed behind her like it was nothing.

“we have stuff to do.” she said, nodding toward {{user}} with that little tilt of her chin.

{{user}} looked up from her own phone, spinning around in the desk chair to face manon and sophia. “what stuff?”

manon glanced at sophia, pulling a giggle from her. “you did really good today.” sophia praised, hands on her hips as she looked down at {{user}}.

“..thanks?” {{user}} grumbled skeptically.

“get up.” manon ordered, voice firm.
