Bree's POV
"What are you doing here?"
Florence's face falls. "My mom dropped me off. Parker told me I could ride with you guys to the party tonight." She explains. "He said he'd asked and it was okay."
"Oh."
"He didn't ask...did he?" She asks, visibly shrinking where she stood in the doorway and I shake my head. "It's fine." She assures me. "I'll just text my mom to turn back around. I should've known you didn't actually want to be around me."
Even though I still didn't like Florence I kinda did feel bad for her. It also made me realise how desperate Parker was for all of us to get along.
"No don't do that, come in." I say, holding onto her arm and pulling her through the front door. "You're already here, you might as well stay."
"Who was it?" Tanner questions, walking down the staircase. Her eyes slowly fall on Florence and she gasps. "Oh hell no! Get her out of my house!"
"Parker tricked her, okay?" I quickly try to explain before Tanner does anything crazy.
Tanner shakes her head. "Nuhuh, I don't want—"
I raise my hand to cut her off. "Look, she's here now so we might as well give her a ride to the party."
"Sorry but the cars full. But even if it wasn't I still—" I quickly cover Tanner's mouth with my hand.
"What's going on down here?" Sarah asks, so we look up to see the rest of the girls stood at the top of the staircase.
Tanner folds her arms. "Florence wants to ride with us but there's no space."
"I'll tag along with Nina in Mason's car." Mei says rapidly, raising her hand.
"Mei, you traitor!" Tanner calls out.
"Yeah, how could you?!" Chanel asks her in disbelief.
I roll my eyes at their outburst. I knew that neither of them were actually angry with her, they were just upset they hadn't thought about riding in Mason's car first.
"Guys, I know we'd much prefer it if they weren't but Florence and Parker are together. We should give her a chance. Y'know, for Parker." Sarah tells us.
"No way!" Chanel yells. "Are you guys forgetting that she blackmailed Bree? Not to mention her relentless bullying of Tanner. Why should we try with her? She makes fun of us all the damn time."
Nina speaks up. "Look guys, whether I like it or not, she's in Mason's life and Mason asked me to give her a chance."
"You guys are talking about me like I'm not here." Florence scoffs.
"I wish you weren't." I hear Tanner mumble under her breathe.
Great. Just great.

We'd only been in the car for under three minutes and an argument had already begun.
"If you have a problem with my music so much, then why don't you pick a song?!" Chanel yells at Florence. Since Chanel was in the passengers seat, she controlled the music.
Florence sighs. "I never said I wanted to pick the music, I just didn't like the song you were playing..."
"Well I don't understand how you don't like R&B music." Chanel looks at Florence, sending her a dirty look.
