Dania

    "Where are you going?" Dylan was leaning on the door to my new room.

    "I'm sleeping over at Teegans." I had a sleepover bag on my bed and I was currently throwing things into it because it was five-thirty and I was going to be very late.

    "Oh? Teegan? I haven't heard that name in a while, how is she?" Dylan was making small talk with me.

    "Good, she heard about my made and she wants me to 'tell her allllll about it." I laughed using hand signs to describe how Teegan reacted. Dylan moved into the room and sat backward at my new desk.

    "That is very Teegan." He nodded his head.

    "How was work, Mr. Beta," I teased him and I heard him sigh.

    "So stressful." He leaned his chin on the back of the wooden chair. "I just started and I want to give up."

    "I bet you are doing a great job." Dylan just like Axel, can be lazy, but they are the perfect type of lazy. Someone so lazy that he makes the best shortcuts into solving things, making everyone's life easier.

     "Dad is such a slave driver, I never get any breaks. Oh, I hear you played well today." I laughed and slung the bag over my shoulder.

    "Colby seemed to think so. I am leaving, walk me to the door?" Dylan swung his leg back over the chair and walked to the door of my room.

    "Of course, who is taking you?" He questioned as we stepped out into the hallway.

    "Ralph, he wanted to get me ice cream for playing so well." Dylan nodded his head.

    "I wish I could go but-"

   "I have more Mr. Beta duties." I cut him off and finished his sentence. He sighed again and nodded his head.

    "A mountain of papers are on my desk and it's stressing me out." His head drooped.

     "Why is he so mopy?" Ralph was waiting at the door swinging his key around his finger.

    "Pact duties." I smiled as I walked to Ralph's side. "Well, I'll see you later, Dyls. I'll make sure to have enough fun for the both of us!" I teased and Dylan sighed again.

     "Have fun, Dania." Then he looked to Ralph, "keep her safe." Ralph nodded and opened the door.

    "Let's go this bastard is bringing the mood down." Ralph put a hand on my back and pushed me out the door.

    "Wait Dania's leaving!?" I heard Anthony yell from the other room.

    "Go. Go. Go." Ralph pushed me to his truck, and I stumbled a bit and Ralph grabbed my arm before opening my door. "In quickly, before he comes out." He closes the door when I was in and ran to the other side.

     I rolled down my window and watched Anthony run out the front door onto the dirt barefoot. "Dania!!" The engine roared to life. Unfortunately for Ralph, Anthony made it to the window. "This is for you, they are in season." He gave me a lavender flower.

    "Awe it's so beautiful," I put the purple flower to my nose. It was one of my favorite flowers because of the smell. Anthony grows extra because he knows how much I love them. "Thank you," I smiled and hugged it. "Alright back away before Ralph runs over your foot." I shooed him back a step.

"Have fun at the sleepover," Anthony said before Ralph slammed his foot off the gas making me jerk forward.

"We out this bitch!" Ralph yelled out of the window. He then put a hand down and turned on the radio. Ralph was really into 80's music, so it was always tuned to that channel. If it wasn't, someone was going to die.
