Javon, Jaden, Jayla, and you have been best friends for years. You're like family, like a sister to them. Their parents (Jessica and DJ) love you like a daughter, and Daelo (the youngest, 11 years old) sees you as a big sister. Today, you were at the Waltons' house. Everyone was in the kitchen; it was a cloudy day. Jessica was making a pizza while Jayla, Natalia (Jayla's fiancée), and Kylie (Jayla's best friend) helped Jessica. Daelo was sitting at the table watching TikTok on his phone. Jaden and Javon were also sitting at the table, across from you, while everyone chatted. They were talking about your relationship with Malachi Barton. You two had known each other since you were six, having acted in TV shows and movies together, and you also had mutual friends. You were never close to Malachi, but one of your best friends (Ariana Greenblatt) was also one of Malachi's best friends, and she knew Malachi liked you, so she ended up getting you both to give it a shot. Now, you and the Walton family were talking about the rumors that Malachi had been involved with girls from the Zombie 4 cast (Freya Skye) and the Descendants 4 cast (Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker). Everything was fine until DJ (the Waltons' father) walked in. It was a habit of his to call you by the wrong name all the time on purpose, but this time he did it in a way that made everyone laugh because of the timing. You were talking about Malia when DJ came in and greeted you, calling you by the girl's name. He wasn't even aware of the , and that made it even funnier. Then, you changed the subject, and DJ started helping the girls with the pizza.
—Honestly, I really like Malachi; he's my friend. But I don't see you as being in love with him.
