Rachel's p/v
A little bit after me and Tyler baked cookies Darry pulled into the driveway. Tyler had to leave through my window. And for some odd reason, Quinn didn't rat us out. She was chilling on her steps, and Tyler literally ran off right after Darry entered the house. But she didn't rat us out. Two days ago I would've thought Quinn was warming up to me. I think she just doesn't care about me and Tyler anymore. Thank God.

Today's outfit is dedicated to my love for Tyler. White shirt with an angel graphic, his vintage lettermen's jacket, black mom jeans, black high top converse, white mittens, my newsboy cap, and my Rachel necklace. I don't care that the cap and mittens don't match with the outfit, it's all about love over here. I'm Rachel Love for a reason.

Today is Jonathan's birthday so I let him pick out my outfit. He wanted something 70s inspired, but I think he let his 90s grunge-self take over. Wine red scoop neck long sleeve, 90s black mini suspender dress, black gogo boots, black leather jacket, and my 60s green/purple floral vinyl purse. Jonathan said it isn't grunge, but I'm saying it's certainly not 70s. Nonetheless, he did a nice job.

"Say hello to my little friend."
I grin. "Tyler, that is the most cutest thing ever!"
"I was going through my old childhood toy box in the basement and came across a bunch of gems. Now spidey is a part of the family!"
I pull out my phone from my back pocket and take a photo. This is going on my Insta story.

Kyle enters the library with his hood on. I motion him to come over.
"What are you doing?"
"Inviting Kyle to hang with us!"
"But can't we spend this cold morning alone?" Tyler lays his head on my shoulder.
"We're in the library, nothing screams alone."
"Ok, but we can-"
"Good morning." Kyle says in his morning voice.
"Just woke up?" I ask.
"Spent the night at my dad's. He lives an hour away so I took advantage and slept in the car. I need some more z's."
"What you need is a red bull. But sit!" I pull out a chair for him. Kyle sits next to me.
"So how are we doing? I managed to avoid talking to Darry this morning so today is off to a great start."
"I started my day by listening to Father John Misty."
"Wait, you listen to Father John Misty?" Tyler asks.
"Yup. I love that guy. He was in my top 5 for Spotify Wrapped. The Weeknd was obviously my top artist."
"He was in my top 10. I didn't think you were the type to listen to his music."
"Well there's a lot you don't know about me, Tyler."
"Favorite song?"
"I can't pick. I love you, Honeybear is on repeat though so that one."
"Nancy From Now on is mine." I say.
"That's a good one."
"Mine is Disappointing Diamonds Are the Rarest of Them All."
"That song was my 3rd most played! I was going through it in September. I need an album from him asap."
"Welcome to the waiting club. It's tough when your favorite artist is literally dead."
"Me with Kurt Cobain. A shame, really."
"I love Kurt! I have all of Nirvana's albums on vinyl."
"That's sick! I only have their songs burned on a CD. I made it for," Kyle looks at me, "a good friend."
"That's even better than vinyl! I need to do that now."
"Join the club!"
