"I will be going with Jasmine and Rose," Aurora said that and I chocked on my drink as I looked at her in surprise.

"You said that you were going to be here," I said, wiping my mouth with the cloth on the table. I think it is a napkin?

"So you aren't going to sneak in with us?" Rose asked, taking a sip of her drink and making a face. "Yeah, this is not for me." 

"I will take it then," Jasmine said, taking the cup from her and dinking the juice there.
