[don't call me baby again
it's hard for me to go home
to be so lonely]

CURRENT TIMES!

"Alright, I'll have a grande mango dragonfruit refresher with 2 pumps of sugar syrup, hold the coconut milk, actually- Amare should I hold the coconut milk?" The focused best friend quickly turned to her brunch partner for some advice. Amare didn't look up from her phone as she replied, "Yes, you're allergic."

"Right!" Siaerra turned back to the barista, "Hold the coconut milk, please."

"Will that be all?"

On cue, Siaerra ordered for Amare
as she was slightly preoccupied. "One venti iced vanilla with almond milk please!"

"Okay, your total for today is going to be $13.97"

Siaerra handed her card to the barista, paid, and the girls made their way over to a small table in the corner- Amare still focusing on her phone.

"Hey, Mare? You okay? You're staring at that thing like it's gonna explode."

Amare clicked off her phone and placed it back in her bag. She settled in her seat and responded, "Yeah, everything's fine! Just some confusing family stuff or whatever."

Siaerra gasped dramatically, "Do I finally get to meet the fabled family of Amare Smith?!"

Amare shook her head and laughed, "Sorry, Si, not today."

"Order for- uh, See-Are-Ah?" a voice called from the pick up counter.

"Oh that stupid bitch-"

"Si!! No! Hush- I'll go grab the drinks..." Amare walked from the table and grabbed the beverages, "Thank you!" As she was walking back to her table, she heard her phone go off and wished she would have silenced it before she got up.

Amare placed the drinks on the table and Siaerra grabbed the girls phone, reading the message Amare just received. "It's from... "tweedledum"? It says, 'I'm at your apartment, get here quickly.'" Siaerra excitedly slammed the phone down on the table as Amare stares at her expectantly. "Okay, either there's a creeper at our apartment, or I get to meet a family member!!"

"It's just my brother, so please, don't do anything stupid. And please hurry up, we have to go!" Amare was truly dreading the introduction of Siaerra to Ikaris- not because she thinks they won't get along, but the exact opposite.

"You got it, señorita!" Siaerra grabbed her drink, slipped on her coat, and the two girls walked out of the coffee shop.

The walk back to their apartment isn't a very long one, just around 10 minutes.

"So....." Siaerra stated.

"So?"

Siaerra turned and started walking backwards, directly in front of Amare and stared her dead in the eyes.

"I'm gonna meet your brother, I'm gonna meet your brother!" Siaerra started singing and skipping around Amare.

"Dude I thought something was a actually wrong! God, don't scare me like that!" Amare laughed and shoved the dancing girl.
