Shivani's POV
After quickly escorting her out of Mac's party I was tasked with being the friend Maisy needed. I never thought Brody would have been the one to break up with Maisy. Maisy had a too-good-for-anything-bad-bitch energy to her that I was sure she would've cut things off first.
As Maisy and I made our way to my car her sadness quickly changed to anger. She started aggressively wiping her tears and began muttering under her breath. Her jaw clenched and then she froze.
She was thinking.
Out of nowhere she turned around and headed straight for Brody's white Tesla.
Oh shit.
Maisy took out her keys and went straight for the car doors. She scraped all along the sides while occasionally stabbing at the metal.
My jaw dropped.
"MAISY WHAT THE FUCK" I yelled.
She didn't turn around and I was frankly too afraid of being attacked to pull her away from the car. Maisy knelt and began carving a word into the car.
CUNT
She stood back up and began to walk towards my car. Her entire demeanor changed, she was calm.
I followed her to my car and we sat in silence for a minute. I wasn't sure what to say. I was still in the process of coming to terms that I was an accomplice to her crime.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out a box of cigarettes and a lighter. While taking out a cigarette and rolling down the window she turned her head towards me.
"Do you wanna get McFlurries?" she said completely stone-faced.
Confused, terrified, and intrigued all at the same time I responded with a simple, "Sure...". I put my 2018 Chevrolet Equinox in drive and made my way to the local Macca's.

Beatrice's POV
Monday
I spent most of my time with the Alderman's over the weekend. Our friend group kind of reformed when Annie's mother sold Annie to English-Irish pop boy band, One Direction. She told us she'd write letters as much as she could but she heard her new master Harry was very controlling. Evan and I were able to adapt quickly though and adopted his twin sister Alex into our trifecta.
I had always known who Alex was, I was just always really scared to talk to her cause I knew she was the popular girl who was really into films and making videos. I had always thought that she would think I was weird and I would never be in one of her videos. But after talking to her a lot over the weekend I realized Alex was the most kind and compassionate girl I've ever met. I've met funny and nice people before but Alex was a different breed of amazing beautiful soul, it was truly a blessing meeting her. The joy and positivity I received from her every conversation we shared was unmatched. She was a smart and hardworking girl.
Me, Evan, and Alex. Tres Amigos, Un Corazón.
It was the second week of senior year and I was already terrified to walk in after the weekend. Everyone knew what had happened. Everyone knew I was physically assaulted by Maisy. Everyone knows Brody and Maisy were done. Evan and Alex made sure to tend to my fragility during the weekend and forbade me from using my phone. My alcoholic mother didn't care to call so all was well.
