i woke up at nine the following day. i groaned as the sun hit my face and i forced myself to stand up and stretch my body out. i walked to my bathroom to take a quick shower and change my clothes. i brushed my teeth before walking downstairs to grab something for breakfast, seeing y/n sitting at my kitchen counter with an apple in her mouth.

she looked up from her phone at the sound of my footsteps and waved, not being able to say anything with the apple in her mouth. i smiled gently and grabbed an apple of my own, sitting across from her. i took a bite of mine, y/n removing the apple from her mouth as i did.

"hey," she smiled brightly. "how'd you sleep?" she asked me, taking another large bite of her apple. i shrugged. i slept the whole night, but it wasn't like the sleep was top notch sleeping. "eh, it was okay. how about you?" i didn't really care, but it's nice to ask.

she shrugged just like i did. "i slept good."

we sat in silence, just eating our apples together. y/n finished hers in less than five minutes and got up to throw it away. she was back in her jeans from yesterday, and she awkwardly wiped her hands on them as she turned back to me. "uh, i'm gonna go home. my dad's gone for work already, so i think it's safe." she itched her cheek. "thank you, again."

i nodded, feeling sad that she was leaving for some reason. "yeah. of course." she smiled at me, and then she left.

i spent the rest of the day being bored out of my mind. i was completely alone; neither mom or nonna was home, and frankie was on a vacation with his friends.

   as i shoveled scoops of ice cream into my mouth, my phone pinged. i rolled my eyes and groaned, placing the ice cream with the spoon stuck in it on my bedside. i picked up my phone, rolling my eyes again once i saw who had texted me.

malarky🖕: heyyy

ariana: ew, wtf do u want?

malarky🖕: no need to be rude, but i was wondering if u wanna hang out again???

   i sighed, thinking about it. i did have a lot of fun last night, to my surprise, and i wasn't going to be doing anything else today. my phone pinged again;

malarky🖕: please?

ariana: fine 🙄

malarky🖕: yay 😁

malarky🖕: i'll be there in ten????

ariana: sure, asshole

malarky🖕: c u, beautiful ;)

   i felt my cheeks grow hot at her message and i threw my phone down at the bottom of my bed. i grabbed the ice cream again and took one more large bite before getting up to get ready.

   i stretched my body and groaned, walking to my closet. i chose a simple black shirt and a pair of jeans, and decided to spice it up with a pair of short, chunky heels.

i smiled as i examined myself in my outfit at the mirror, scrunching up my face as i stared at my hair. "ew," i whispered, grabbing my brush to sort the tangles out. after brushing it, i pulled it up into a ponytail.

for makeup, i just decided to do a winged eyeliner super quick, not having enough time to do a full face. i grabbed a cute little hair clip and clip it in my hair to add some more spice to the simple outfit.

by the time i was done, my doorbell rang. i smiled giddily and ran to grab my purse and phone, legit running down the stairs. i swung the door open, seeing y/n rocking on her heels like she always did.

but my smile soon dropped as i saw her outfit; she was wearing like—exactly what i was. "no! absolutely not!" i yelled as y/n laughed.

i turned around to go change, leaving the door open for y/n. she made a weird sound the sounded like a whine and followed, closing the door. she chased me up the stairs, stopping me by grabbing my wrist. i turned back to her with my hands on my hips and my brows raised.

y/n just smiled, looking my body up and down. i blushed under her gaze and fiddled with my ponytail. "we should match! it's cute!"

i groaned, stomping my foot childishly. y/n pouted her lips at me and formed her hands into a begging motion, beginning to descend to her knees. "ew, stop. fine, we can match." i sighed, grabbing her shoulders to lift her back to her full height.

  "yes! let's go, i'm so excited!" she cheered, grabbing my wrist again and pulling me out of my house.

——

"i fucking love the fair!" y/n shouted as she yanked me through the grounds. my eyes widened as i saw children around, and there parents staring at her with disgusted looks on their faces.

i slapped her arm with a stern look, "y/n, stop cursing! there's children around!" she looked back at me with a cute but confused look on her face.

her eyes shot all around us and they widened when she saw the children. "oh, sorry." she shrugged, and kept walking. "do you wanna ride the farris wheel!?"

——

   "y/n, i don't like heights." i whispered to her and closed my eyes. we were at the very top of the wheel. she looked over at me worriedly, a smile on her face to comfort me.

   "it's okay, ari. i'm right here." she whispered, wrapping her arm around my shoulders. the seat rocked a little and i squealed, shoving my face into her shoulder. she chuckled lightly, kissing the top of my head.

   "i got you." y/n rested her chin on my head.

   the feeling of being in my arms calmed me down so much, and the way she kissed my head made my spine tingle. i breathed in her scent, noticing the expensive cologne she's worn since ninth grade.

   "y/n?" my voice was muffled by her shoulder. she hummed. i whispered again, "i'm hungry."

   she gasped happily. "me too. i want french fries." i giggled, latching onto her shirt.

——

   y/n shoved a handful of the vinegar saturated fires. "you like em?" she asked, her voice muffled by the food in her mouth. i hummed in pleasure as i are another, nodding my head.

   my cheek rested on my fist as i smiled at y/n. she took a large sip of her water and sat back, her eyes closed and her brows furrowed. "you know, i've actually had a lot of fun malarky." i winked.

   her eyes shot open and she smiled widely. "great! i've had a lot of fun, too. i like to spend time with you." she got more quiet at the end. y/n screwed her mouth to the side, scratching her neck nervously. "i-uh—i know it just got out of a—" she stopped suddenly, staring at something behind me.

    my brows furrowed and i turned around to look. oh.

   behind me was ana, y/n's new ex, and some random guy. his hands were gripping tightly on her ass, and hers were tangled in his hair. i grimaced as i saw their tongues tousling between their two mouths. "ew," i whispered, and turned around back to y/n.

   she licked her lips and looked down at her lap. she looked so sad and just betrayed. my hand wandered over to grab hers, my thumb rubbing the backside. y/n looked up at me, her eyes glassy.

   "hey, c'mon. let's go somewhere she's not." i whispered, smiling lightly. y/n nodded and sniffed, wiping her eyes of the tears that haven't fallen. she stood up, still holding onto my hand.

   as we met up together, i leaned up as well as i could and kissed her collarbone, where i could reach by myself. she smiled down at me without her teeth, the tears from her eyes almost gone.

   "you wanna go to my house and watch movies? you can invite steve and nadia...?" i asked, smoothing out her shirt. y/n nodded, the big smile returning to her face. "yes please."
