Chapter Ten. "a monster at heart"

friday: 6.10pm ࿐ྂ

"You really need to let loose sometimes Keith."

Allura spoke from the view of a therapist, or a sister.

Same thing, really.

"Let loose?" Keith raised a brow as he brushed his hair in front of a mirror, giving her side eye. "You really don't know me, do you?"

Allura gasped, hurt as she clasped her chest.

"Excuse me! I know you plenty well-" She paused, at another mirror opposite from Keith as she closed an eyeshadow pallet angrily. "And I know you can relax, you just choose not to."

Keith shrugged, putting down the brush and fixing on his black gloves. "Maybe you're right, but we've only been friends for a couple of weeks princess." He chuckled, looking at her.

She returned the gaze, smirking as she walked over to her closet, taking out another piece of her outfit to put on.

"Well, we're kids, literally takes two days to make a best friend. Kinda hard when we're in the same classes."

That was true.

They bonded together when he sat with her friend group at lunch.

Since they both had incredible taste in music.

It was nice to know that she was there for him.

A comfortable silence fell as the two continued to get ready. Allura almost finished her make-up as Keith put his hair up in a bun.

His face was glowing with a touch of Allura's make-up, she let him borrow some as he wanted to look nice tonight.

Which was a first.

Keith never cared.

But something was different for some reason.

"So..."

Allura began, swallowing nervously.

"How's you and James?"

Ugh.

Always with Griffin.

He didn't want to talk about him.

"Look-" Keith began, turning to face Allura from across the room. "Could we not bring him up? Just for the rest of the night?"

The soccer girl's eyes widened when staring at her friend. Before she grinned and nodded.

"Course, I like the sound of that anyways."

They both laughed and continued getting ready.

Since James was out of his mind, he thought he'd bring up her relationship.

"How about you and Romelle?" He asked.

Allura sighed.

"Unfortunately we got into an argument today so she's a little mad at me." Keith eyed her. "But! I'm gonna apologise at the party so we won't have a bad night." Allura stated confidently, pointing her brush towards the air.

"Because I love her!"

So cheesy.

Keith scoffed and put on his boots.

"Must be a nightmare." He replied.

Allura shrugged, clasping he hair back. "I don't think so."

Keith frowned, making hand gestured as he spoke.
