༺ Sense and Sensibility ༻
Megara couldn't stop hearing Ricky's voice ring through her ears; "guys don't wanna date girls who already have boyfriends." She couldn't help but feel guilty, was she wrong to be stringing them both along like this? What was her defense for this, that Ricky had done it first? How did that make things any better?
Besides her ongoing fake relationship crisis — which was starting to take over her life — there wasn't much going on. At this point, besides the couple of Instagram posts and TikTok videos that garnered attention from other kids at East High, there wasn't really a need to constantly check her phone.
Needless to say that when her phone buzzed multiple times on her way to Ricky's new apartment to pick him up for school, Megara was confused. She didn't get a chance to really check her phone well after they got to school (no way was she going to let Ricky drive her baby again after he nearly killed them both in Colorado), and when she did she was very surprised by the caller ID of the person who texted her.
Rosetta Montez, under the nickname "Garden Fairy".
Ricky instantly noticed the wrinkles forming on Megara's forehead as she read the text messages with a confused look. "Everything okay?" he asked, taking her hand into his with ease as they walked into the warm atmosphere that their school provided them.
Megara heavily sighed, sliding her phone into her tote bag under her armpit. The tote bag, which had a printed picture of Goofy and Clarabell, matched her cow print cardigan and black long-sleeve, paired with a red beanie atop her head to keep her ears from freezing. "It's nothing. It's just Rosetta."
Ricky snapped his head sideways to instantly look at her, surprised, to say the least. Out of all the things he expected her to say, that was one of the last things on his list. "Your sister Rosetta? Is everything okay?"
Megara nodded. "Yeah, perfectly fine. She just wanted to let me know she was probably going to go to the wedding with mom."
Ricky exhaled for a long moment. "Wow, how old is she now?"
"Well, let's see. If I'm seventeen and I want her to stay six forever... she's, unfortunately, turning thirteen soon. She's the Pisces freak baby."
"Wow, it seems like just yesterday she was learning how to walk," Ricky slowed as they neared Megara's first class of the day.
"Tell me about it," Megara added as they came to a full stop outside the door. She glanced inside. "I have Mazzara first thing," Megara rolled her eyes. She hadn't really been a fan of him since last semester when he insulted Carlos by saying he had zero friends.
"It'll be over before you know it," Ricky leaned forward, placing a kiss so quick she hardly felt it on her nose. "See you later."
