Chapter Four:

The alarm clock booms once again and Alora wakes up groggily as she adjusts herself. She notices that her roommate, Cassie, is nowhere to found so she assumed she had already left. 

When Alora takes a look at the clock, that's when she realises she has 5 minutes to get ready until Avery will be here to pick her up. 

"Shit!" She cursed, jumping out of bed and grabbing her toothbrush and essentials to get ready. 

Surprisingly, it did take her 5 minutes to get ready as she was packing her things to which the door knocked. "Come in!" She yelled and the door opened revealing Avery. 

"Ready? Oh- You slept in again, didn't you?" Avery chuckled, looking at the mess in the room. 

Alora rolled her eyes and walked over, pushing Avery out of the door as well as herself. Once the door was locked, the two girls headed on out to campus. 

"What block does it say we're in?" Alora asked, scanning her timetable. 

"3 but I have no idea where that is," Avery sighed, examining her mess of a paper. "Let me go ask those guys there," she said. 

Avery began walking to a group of boys for direction and Alora followed swiftly, her eyes widened once she saw who was apart of the group. "Hello, I'm sorry but my friend and I are-"

"Totally capable of finding where our block is, thanks," Alora laughed sheepishly, giving Avery a glare as she pointed her head toward MILO. 

Milo looked up and smirked as he noticed the young girl who's been irritating him standing there, glaring back at him.

Avery rolled her eyes, "Can you help us?" One of the boys chuckled, putting their cigarette down before coming up to this, "Let me see."

"Gray, I wouldn't help these girls if I were you," Milo called out, smirking at Alora who was busy glaring. 

The guy, Gray, turned around and lifted his brow. "One is known to be highly bratty from what I've heard," Milo finished. 

Alora's eyes widened and she parted her lips to say something highly rude but Avery covered her mouth before she embarrassed the two girls. "Well...Can you help?" Avery chuckled, grinning at the boy. 

Alora got out of her grip and turned her back to Avery, instead, deciding to go on her phone whilst she got directions. She scrolled through Instagram.

"Alora, let's go," Avery called out which startled Alora. She turned around and grabbed onto Avery, giving one last glare to the boys before she left. 

"I don't like hi- them," Alora huffed, rolling her eyes. "Chilli boy?" Avery asked, a hint of a smile on her face. 

Alora nodded her head and didn't say much. The two girls finally made it to class on time, no questions asked.

"Where did Allegra ask us to meet her again?" Avery asks, slurping her spaghetti as they walked outside. 

Alora grabbed her phone and checked the message from Allegra. "Skate park, just outside the school," Alora said. 

The two girls made their way to the park and noticed Allegra who was sitting inside, watching the boys, like usual.
