The cast party was in an hour. I was the only one here and I felt pretty fucking awkward. I sat at the sofa that they've kept there for over two years, and I'm surprised they still have it. I've been sitting here, I fell asleep once or twice. It's been two hours of me alone with my thoughts, waiting for the arrival of the people I called my best friends for four years. I missed them each individually. Calum always knew how to make me smile. He was hands down my best friend, because I could talk to him literally about anything- one talk I'll never forget is the "my girlfriend might be a virgin" talk. I'm just now remembering how much of a douche I was. Raini used to always do anything- and I mean anything for me. I could never forget the situation with the rather... intimate massage. Also the time she pretended to be my girlfriend for what was almost an entire month. Then there was Laura. Laura Marie Marano.

Things with Laura had always been complicated. I believe at one point that I was in love with her. The way that she walked, talked. her attitude. Everything about her. She was the sweetest thing but at times she would be the bitchiest person I've ever met in my entire life. Ally was one person, but Laura was a whole different one. She was so much sexier, dare I say sluttier. Yet, she wasn't a slut if that made any sense. She wore leggings, short dresses, tight skirts and crop tops. She grew up so much from the 15-year-old she was when we first met.

...

Soon enough, Raini and Calum are here and we're catching up as much as possible. They haven't really changed all the much, and it was like old times. That's when she walked in. If I didn't see her face, I would've never recognized her.

It was Laura. She had dyed her hair. It was a silver grey color. She had dark purple lipstick and black winged eyeliner. Her outfit seemed normal. She had a tight black skirt, heels, and a black shirt that had weird design on it. It was a white circle with a line, a dash, and a red diagonal line in the middle. She was absolutely stunning.
