chapter 4

"he asked me out yesterday, i was gonna tell you today" minah admits as we walk to class.

"and you really like him?" audrey asks and she nods.

"he's really sweet, and funny, and yeah i really like him"

"well if he ever fucks you over you know who to call" audrey says and i nudge at her side. she makes a pained expression.

"he won't, aaron's too nice" minah mutters over the loud noises.

"there he is" aaron is leaning against the lockers, and minah strides over to him, waving us goodbye.

of course vinnie is there too, talking to other people.

he glares at me for a second, before continuing his conversation.

i don't know what i've done to make him hate me so much, we barely talk to each other.

i smile as she kisses his cheek, and audrey fake gags.

"how about we find you a boyfriend, yeah?" i place my hand on her shoulder as we take our seats.

"i don't want a boyfriend" she sighs out, coldly.

"if you say so" i hold my hands up in defence as the class starts to fill up.

"okay! that'll be all for today! if you could hand your coursework in at the door that would be great" finally the day is over, and we get to go home.

"you wanna come over to mine? my aunt isn't home" i ask audrey as we leave the premises.

"sure, i've got nothing to do today anyways"

-

"you're going to burn this fucking house down, lana" audrey chuckles, opening the windows to let the smoke out. she coughs dramatically and i scoff.

"look, if you wouldn't have distracted me with your nuclear physics shit i wouldn't have semi burnt the mac & cheese, okay? so this is your fault" i say.

"no it isn't! i-"

audreys eyes avert over to the kitchen doors, and i roll my eyes at the sight of archer.

he's shirtless, wearing grey sweats as per usual.

"go away archer" i seethe, serving the food.

"what the fuck did you burn?" he coughs a little, leaning over me to look into the pot.

"nothing! it's not burnt!"

"that looks like it's burnt to me" he grabs something out of the cupboard and i watch as audrey gazes at him.

"when's aunt coming back?"

"in a few days" i answer, handing audrey a bowl of the cheesy substance.

"might as well have a party" he chuckles and i shake my head. he sits beside audrey on the barstool, and her cheeks flush.

"no! no party! and what do you think you're doing, we're trying to eat here!"

he sips on his soda, before smirking at me slightly. "i'm drinking something, duhh. don't tell me you need glasses now too!"

audrey giggles, and they fist bump.

"we're going up to my room, come audrey"

"but i wanna stay down here" she says. i furrow my brows and she shrugs.

"ugh, fine do whatever you want but i'm going up" i here them both share a laugh as i head up the stairs, to submerge myself into the deep pit that is my bedroom.
