Before hanging up, she had asked, "What are you even doing right now?"
"I'm on a yacht with so friends," I answered.
"Of course you are... wait, what??"
"I bought a yacht at the end of the year. I'm using it again now," I added casually.
"Wow, that is so cool! And what are you doing?"
"We're celebrating Paige's achievent. She solved the Poincaré Conjecture. It's one of the Millennium Prize Problems—unsolved for over a century. Solving it ans Paige might win the Fields dal. That's basically the Nobel Prize for mathematics," I explained.
"Can you stop comparing the Fields dal to the Nobel Prize?" Sheldon whined, earning a stomp from Missy.
"Woow," Britney muttered. "Wait, and you didn't invite ??" she said in high pitch.
"You are in Europe, girl!" I reminded her. "I'm hanging up, this call is too expensive," I added, ending the call.
"Really? Too expensive? You could've co up with a better excuse," Regina said dryly, sitting across from , arms crossed and a teasing smirk on her face.
"Especially while wearing a Richard Mille RM 001," Cher added.
"How do you know the na of my watch, Cher? It's not that famous. Richard released it just last year, and with very limited units. He's still building the brand," I said, a bit surprised.
"I read a lot of luxury magazines," she replied.
"If you used a fraction of that energy for school, you'd get straight A's," I joked.
"Not gonna happen," she said quietly, leaning toward .
"Well, Pepper gifted it to last year. I don't think it matches that well with formal clothes, but I liked wearing it with casual outfits," I said.
Pippa nodded. "It is a nice watch."
Cher leaned toward Regina and whispered, "Nice watch? That's a $135 grand exclusive nice watch!"
"Changing the subject—can you believe Brit used the 'bestie male friend' card against ?" I asked.
Regina thought for a mont before comnting, "Not totally unbelievable. Most of her male friends probably have... secondary intentions."
"Now that I think about it, Jake is besties with a bunch of girls," Cher noted, beginning to count. ", Regina, Sam... Carly is probably a tie between Jake and Freddie. Missy, Paige, and now Brit," she finished, holding up six fingers.
"Mine would be between Jake and Billy," Missy said, though her expression didn't quite match the idea of a tie.
I looked at Missy and said, "Yeah, Billy has his... difficulties. But you should take care of that friendship. He seems like soone you can count on (just not for anything that requires intelligence)."
"Mine would be between Jake and Sheldon. Zero competition," Paige declared.
"Hey, I don't need your friendship," Sheldon retorted.
Paige just rolled her eyes.
"Ours is still Ravi," Cara jumped into the conversation, referring to her and Pippa.
"Ravi? Who?" I asked.
Pippa pinched , making a face.
"Who is Brit? I an, we t her at the Halloween party and saw her again at the end-of-year party, but we didn't even see her face," Pip asked.
"That's true," Cara agreed, realizing they had never actually seen Brit's face.
"She was the one dressed as Spider-Woman at the end-of-year party," Sam explained to Miley and Lilly, who didn't seem to rember. They nodded, not thinking much of it.
"She is a good friend of mine. I t her in the middle of last year," I said, unfazed.
Pippa was still looking at
"She's a nice girl. But she doesn't think of Jake in that way," Cher chid in. Regina was nodding beside her
"But is she cute?" Pippa asked with an amused face.
"No," I answered instantly.
I could feel a few glares aid at . Pippa was making a face like she didn't believe at all.
"I'm telling the truth, she's not cute," I protested, "but she is very sexy and beautiful," I added with a straight face. Updates are released by n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷
"Pippa, you need to give points to Jake for saying that with a straight face," Carly said, deadpan.
Carly, you're going to freeze your face if you keep going deadpan all the ti...
"But that's been his face since I t him," Pippa pointed out. "I t him already shaless since day one," she added.
Many laughed (only Sheldon looked clueless)
I put my hand over my heart and looked around. "Where are my besties to defend ??"
"If it makes you feel any better, he was already like that when we t him more than a year ago," Sam said.
"How is that a defense in my case, Sam?" I asked indignantly, throwing my arms open.
Everyone laughed again.
"How about karaoke?" Carly suggested, trying to change the subject
"Yes!" I said louder. "Carly, Sam, and Freddie, let's do that song we rehearsed."
Everyone gathered on the sofa in front of a large television. Paige was already loading the CD with the instruntal tracks.
Then the four of us stepped up, each with an old microphone on a stand. I was wearing a wig with very straight black hair and a ridiculous little black goatee. Carly, Sam, and Freddie were dressed in old green outfits with rounded caps that looked like sothing an old-fashioned jockey would wear.
"Thank God Jake didn't ask us to join," Regina whispered to Cher, receiving a nod as they looked at how we were dressed.
Paige pressed play and the music started. I began singing right after:
Hey ya! (Outkast)
♪One, two, three, four, go!♪
♪My baby don't ss around
Because she loves so
And this I know for sure♪
♪But does she really wanna?
But can't stand to see
Walk out the door♪
I was doing so exagerated movints while singing
♪Don't try to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone
Is killin' right now♪
♪Thank God for mom and dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how♪
Then Carly, Sam, and Freddie started singing while swinging their arms forward and shaking:
♪Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!♪
One by one, the girls started getting up and dancing to the rhythm (only Sheldon remained seated, looking incredulous)
♪You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it
'Til there's nothing at all♪
♪...♪
When we finished singing, everyone clapped and laughed.
"How did you get it, Jake?" asked Miley. "You four look like dorks, especially you. But I think the song was super cool and sohow the performance too..."
I placed my hand on Miley's shoulder and said, "I thought, if Hannah can be famous wearing those outdated fashion clothes and catchy music, I could do it too!" I finished with a smile.
Miley responded with a half-smile and half-clenched teeth.
