The soft mattress dipped under Anastasia's weight as she sat on the bed, pen in hand, she proceeded to do her math homework. Still waiting for Owen's to get home, she decided to be productive and do some homework. Anastasia's bedroom was almost blank, only a few Queen poster's littered the wall and her desk remained pristine, two towers of books were the only thing placed on top of it.

As soon as she heard the door open and close, she calmly closed her books and softly padded downstairs "Hey" she smiled when she saw Owens who left his things on the counter "How was work?" she softly asked as she started making dinner.

"Not bad, we don't seem to be able to close the gate or get any significant data" he explained taking his coat off

Anastasia turned on the stove "I could close it" she shrugged

"You know we can't let you do that" Owens said for what it felt like the hundredth time and Anastasia sighted, knowing what was coming next "You are highly unstable Anastasia, and you are well aware of it" he reminded "If you want a chance at a normal life, your best bet is to do what you're told"

"I know" she sighted "It's just that I'm not so sure a normal life is what I want anymore" she explained as she made some omelettes

Owens took a seat on one of the stools "Look there will inevitably come a time when your help is needed. But until then you have to prove you can deal with bullies and everything a teenager has to deal with"

Anastasia grabbed the two plates and placed one in front of Sam and one in front of herself, sitting herself down on a stool "Easier said than done"

"On lighter note," Owens switched the conversation "You don't have to wait for me every day, you know that right?"

Anastasia swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking up "I know, I just prefer making two dinners than only mine"

"whatever makes you the most comfortable" he smiled. They made more small chat before the doorbell rang

"I'll get it" Anastasia smiled, heading for the door, she opened it.

"Hey princess" Billy Hargrove stood there, leather jacket and denim jeans on.

Anastasia smiled up at the boy "Hi Billy, come in" she invited him in

"who was it?" Owens called as she closed the door

"It's a friend" she started climbing up the stairs "We'll only take a second!"

Billy followed after her, this not being the first time he was in her house "You're late" she remarked as she tried to find his biology project in her backpack.

"I know" he deadpanned "I was out, maybe you should try it" he sassed

"No thank you" she turned around and handed him the stack of papers "That'd be 25"

He took a step forward, his breath fanning her face and pulled out of his back pocket 20 dollars, putting them in her front pocket all while keeping eye contact "Twenty is more than enough" he flirted with a raised eyebrow.

Anastasia lifted her chin in a defiant manner "Don't try to flirt your way out of this Billy"

He inched his face closer to hers "Don't act like you don't love it, princess"
