I was sitting in english class, typing away on my laptop when Olivia messaged me something; yes, she was across the room, no she didn't care. 

CrackheadBlondeThatCanRead: Did you see the article?

Me: Abt?

CrackheadBlondeThatCanRead: You and Emma, people are saying you guys are a thing, apparently last week they snapped photos of you hugging. People are assuming something Charlie, you need to call her. 

Me: Alright, thanks for the heads up. 

I thought of the quickest I could, I ran to the bath room dialing her number, "Hello."

"Don't sound so excited," I joked. 

"Oh, what's up Charlotte," she perked, something was wrong. 

"Um.. well, I am taking by your tone you've seen it then," I muttered, I was playing with my hoodie strings; I do that a lot when I get nervous. 

"Yes. I have seen it. It's hard to miss, do you know what this means?" she paused, "people are going to start thinking I am a child groomer."

"Okay, well we were just hugging, it wasn't like we were full blown having sex in public, also I am turning eighteen, I can fix this."

"Charlotte you are seventeen I am sorry, but there isn't much you can about it at this point, PR is already on their way over here."

"Do you trust me?"

"Always."

"Then trust me, if there is one thing I am good at it's getting out of sticky situations. It was a hug, that was all it was, mothers hug their daughters, children hug their parents."

"Charlie, we both know that, that was more than what it should've been. We both know parents don't hug their child like that, the public sees that. I am an actress, my emotions are an opened book."

"Emma." I stays silent for a second, "Trust me, please. I have an idea, just don't say anything, or do anything yet."

"You have an hour, I don't want you to pressure yourself, an hour Charlotte Watson, then after that, I will have to say something."

"Fine," I ended the call before she could get another word in. I could do this, I could. I texted Olivia to come to the bathroom, five minutes she arrived. "Okay, I have a crazy plan, but we need to do this together," I said firmly. 

"Anything, Charlie we are best friends, what is your plan."

"We have that project for Mrs. Flecky's class, the video production one, we have to shot a movie, yes?" she nodded I went on. "I was thinking, Emma is an actress, a damn good one too, we can say, that she was in it, we were filming a scene for something- what I don't know yet- you are still following yes?" she nodded. "Okay, so you were in the car, in the picture it looks like you are recording us, so it's liable, and a flexible lie would could use."

"Yes, it is."

"So, all we have to do is use the footage we have of her now, like when she was singing, and dancing and all of the funny ones. The movie could be able a girl who is struggling with her happiness, she's a goofball but she is falling apart, and her friend- that could be me, comforts her, and that's the scene they saw. Could it work?"

"Yes. If I edit them right now- which is doable, we can make it work. I just need Ruelle's hacking skills to set the date of the project back, we should be golden after that," she confirmed. I called Emma, she went to find Ruelle. 

"Emma, we got it."

"We?"

"Olivia and I, we figured out how we could fix this." 


i have a mirgrane and a bitch, don't judge me I just started reading the Harry Potter books, I lowkey like deathly hallows the bestest, so eh.(the movie, I literally am only on Chamber of Secrets don't spoil it for me please!). 

how would you guys feel if i posted some of my real books? just a thought. You guys like Olivia's ID, Charlie's is "EmilysMomma" as per request of Charlotte. Pretty funny eh eh. 

This author note took more time than the writing itself that's a little depression, as the famous Hermione Granger once said, "Dimbo," that's all I got. I don't remember the rest, I literally watch that movie six weeks ago, also I only watched the Harry Potter movies for the first time in November because "It was all the rage" as the kids say- I literally need to stop.
