Adriana

thank u kate, at least somebody knows how 2 feed the gram

Kate laid down her paintbrush to text with my sisters: Adriana, four years younger than me at 22, was a social media maven. Luisa, 19, would be pissed if we left her out. Kate, an only child, reveled in my sisters' attention, which took some pressure off me to update them about—oh shit, she wouldn’t dare tell them about—

“Sorry not sorry,” she said, handing back my phone. I scrolled through the havoc she wreaked:

Luisa

I still don’t understand how cruz's thirst trap selfies help your hair & makeup instagram

Adriana

though he can’t grow an audience if looking like a hobo

Luisa

Adriana

Luisa

True, I can’t defend that scruff

Adriana

Me

I thought he finally met his match and was gonna strike out

Adriana

“You didn’t,” I said, running my hand down my face.
