"I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE TO DENISE, AND BOTH HER PARENTS, Mrs. and Mr. Grayson, I apologize for my actions and what was said between Denise and I." Eleanor looked at the three, wearing a tight and uncomfortable outfit to look "formal."

"You're sure damn lucky her parents didn't charge you, if that were my child, you would've been in Denver's Juvenile Detention Center, right about now." The principal gave Eleanor a pointed look, "I'll see you next week on Monday. You two are free to leave." The principal excused Eleanor and her mother, walking them out of the office.

Once the mother and daughter were in the car, they looked at each other, staying silent before looking away and starting to drive back to their home. "I'll be gone most of the day, you shall stay in the house, doing your homework. I don't want to hear you complaining." Her mother demanded, taking a few turns before they were in front of the Meyer's residence. "Bye." Eleanor said before shutting the door and making her way to the front of the house.

Her mother drove off before Eleanor even got inside the house. Eleanor let out a loud, long sigh before shutting the front door and locking it, practically running to the phone.

"Oh, shit! I wish I was there, to see you look so uncomfortable, that'd be funny as hell." Robin laughed, sniffling a bit. "Hey, you feeling better?" Eleanor asked, keeping the phone to her ear, squishing her shoulder and ear close together to hold the phone.

"Yeah, much better. Aye, y'know what's weird?" Robin questioned, "Hm?" Eleanor hummed in response. "Last night, this black van... it was kind of... following me. I hid and ran home though, that shit was creepy." Robin whispered the last part.

"Yeah?" Eleanor mumbled, "You better be careful, though. I don't want my fake-boyfriend getting kidnapped." Eleanor joked— half-joked. Robin let out a short laugh, "Right..." He mumbled, beginning to be quiet. "Are you going to Finn's game on Friday?" Eleanor asked, breaking the silence.

"I'll try, I'm just hoping my mom will let me go." Robin hesitated, "I'm going, I hope you can go." Eleanor says, "But... aren't you grounded, Nora?" Robin questioned with a small laugh. "Yeah... I'm sneaking out, silly." Eleanor laughed to herself before opening the fridge and grabbing some milk for her cereal. "Gee, Nora, I don't know why I thought you were this innocent girl who only focused on school, when I first met you." Robin chuckled.

"Nothings innocent about nobody, Robby."

The two stayed on call for a few more hours before hanging up, Robin needed to go eat and start getting ready for bed... at least that's what Eleanor said he needed to do. While Robin followed Eleanor's directions, she laid on her bed, her fingers fiddling on top of her stomach, and her staring up at her ceiling.

Her room was dimly lit, her lamps having a dim cover, she laid in her house, all alone. Usually when she was alone, she'd want to stay out of her thoughts, but right now, she truly needed to think about everything and realize how she feels...about Robin.

  She knew that mostly everything was an act for the crowd, but they weren't in front of a crowd yesterday, yet he still kissed her forehead and stayed concerned with her, maybe he was really good at acting and wanted to keep the act up wherever they go...right?
