Lulu walked into the living room with a smile on her face, excited at the idea of spending the whole weekend out of town and in the middle of nowhere, alongside the people she loved the most.
She had a small bag hanging on her shoulder and she dropped it near the one that belonged to Fezco.
The noise caught the man's attention and he walked out of the bathroom, "You going already?"
Lulu didn't waste a second and she wrapped her arms around his torso, gently pecking his lips, "Yeah, gotta help Lexi out on a few things."
Fezco pouted, caressing her back with his fingers, "Okay, ma'..."
"I'll see you in there, anyways," Lulu said, "Just... don't be too late, okay?"
Fezco pretended to be shocked at her words and she brushed him off with a giggle, pulling away from his embrace and shooting a look at her sister, "You didn't pack your bags yet, am I right?"
Zahia did look like she was all over the place, desperately running her hands through her hair as she seemed to be looking for something in the living room, moving every cushion from the couch, "I'm almost done, I swear!"
Lulu rolled her eyes, "Whatever, but don't forget to go get your tickets or you won't be able to watch the play, I got us a full row with Rue."
"Okay!"
Finally, Lulu noticed Ashtray from the corner of her eye. He had a backpack at his feet and glared at Lulu's on growing smirk, "Damn, you're all set. I'm impressed."
Ashtray mocked a laugh, "Shut up."
She lifted her hands in the air but playfully tiptoed behind him to pinch his cheek, earning a slap on the hand in return. Lulu giggled and opened the front door, turning around to look at them one last time, "Okay, I'm going. Text me when you're there!"
She took a few extra seconds to make eye contact with Fezco, making him wink, and she finally left the house, hopped on her scooter and drove all the way to the school.
... ... ...
The adrenaline was highly palpable within the school walls, students in costumes were running around, some of them were rehearsing with their faces buried in lockers —making Lulu laugh as she could easily picture herself doing the exact same thing if she ever was in their shoes, and others were carrying props to the auditorium.
She found a determined Lexi in the backstage area, checking some final details on a clipboard. She let out a sigh of relief when her eyes met with Lulu, "Are you sure this isn't just all shit?"
Lulu couldn't help the loud laugh that echoed loudly all around them, "Oh, Lex... From what I saw, it's absolute genius," she reassured, giving her a comforting hug, "And... sorry to break it down to you but it's kinda too late to change anything now."
