"Now students, I know it's almost going to be summer break, but... I have a surprise!"
"We'll be doing a partner project! Partner up with the person who's sitting next to you!" The teacher said.
"For example, Aubrey and Y/N! You'll have to choose which house you guys are going to do the project. It is on American culture."

"Hope you survive!" Trisha whispered as she smirked.
"Trisha shut up." I say before I talk to Aubrey. "Wanna work on it in my house?"
"Sure." She said firmly. I write my address on a piece of paper and give it to her.

As for continuing history class, Trisha gossips about students. I overhear it, Aubrey does and literally everyone does. She starts to talk about Aubrey and look to Aubrey's view and she seems VERY annoyed and kind of looks like she's about to cry.

As Trisha was done shit talking, Aubrey's hands were shaking and she ran out of the class. I can hear Trisha giggling but no one else in the classroom joined her, even Trisha's partner didn't.

After class
"Trisha, what the hell was that?" I slightly yell at Trisha when we got out of class.
"What was what?" She says as we walk
"About what you said in history, not just about Aubrey but about the people you were talking shit about!"
"Aw, look at you caring about the pink haired punk!"
"I've heard how she treats the people in her life, like her Mom!"
"Haven't you heard Y/N?" Yes I have heard of them, it's false.
"It's not true."
"Whatever! It probably is true. You've seen how she treated people. Especially that weak-ass flower boy!"

After school, at home.
So schedule changed for my grandparents. They're coming back on the 8th. Business, business. I don't really that much mind though.

Ring!

"Hello Fran." I answer the phone.
"Heyy uh, I got something to tell youuu. You might be mad at me, promise you won't."
"I promise, what is it?"
"Well- I wasted the money on Coke instead of the pills I said I would-!"
"WHAT?" I yell in shock
"You said you wouldn't be mad at me!!"
"Fran, this is the second time you've done this, first you said you had-"
"Look, I'm sorry- just please, get them for me- I don't know what's wrong with me, I get out of control.." after Fran said that, I sighed.
"Okay, tomorrow. 2:30pm." I hanged up and groan.

6:40 pm
Aubrey hasn't come over yet, so I'm watching Malibu CA. (Fun fact about the author, my theater teacher was actually on that show.) And then I decided to have some soda. I was relaxed until I heard the doorbell.
"Oh! Heading there!" I said as I got up from the couch. I opened the door and it was Aubrey.
"Oh, hello." I waved.
"Make yourself at home, Aubrey!" I smiled slightly. She went in being silent. I close the door.
"Do you want anything to eat? I hadn't have dinner yet."
"Sure.. whatever you want." She says.
"Okay! You can watch something on TV." I say as I go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. The kitchen is in the same room as one of the living rooms where I left the TV on.
"Malibu CA?" Aubrey asks as she sits on the couch.
"Oh! Yeah, sorry. You can change it." I say.
"No, it's actually..one of my favorite shows. What season are you on?"
"Season 2. What about you?"
"Season 1. I'm rewatching it."
"Hey do you want anything to drink?" I ask Aubrey.
"No."

Minutes later
"Okay, dinners ready." I say to Aubrey as she's distracted by the sitcom. I say again but she's still distracted. No choice, I tapped her and she flinched.
"Sorry Aubrey! Just wanted to tell you that dinners ready.." she sighed.
As I place dinner on the table, plates and utensils she served herself and didn't even take a good look at my food like some people would normally do she straight up ate it.
"Wow, you're really hungry. Alright. Here's a napkin." I give her a napkin.

After eating and working on the project
It is currently 8:50. Aubrey is knocked out. She has been for 30 minutes. I turn off the lights and go to my room to change into my pajamas and then put my silk robe on. I text Sunny for a little bit until Aubrey wakes up.
"You're awake." I say as she yawns.
"Do you want to spend the night over here? I don't mind."
"You don't mind?" She asks
"No, I don't." I say as she gets up to stretch after she's done I say, "Come, follow me." I take her hand and speed walk upstairs to my room.

"You didn't bring any sleepwear, did you?" I release her hand.
"Nope."
"Well, you can have one of my nightgowns, it's pink and I'll bet it'll look good on you! Let me just find it.." I say to her before I take a trip to my closet. Ah, I've found it!

 Ah, I've found it!

"Voila! Here it is." I show it to her.
"Wow.."
"Yes, now try it on!" I give it to her
"Well- okay.." she heads to the bathroom
"This goes with it, it's a robe. I don't know if you want to wear it." She opens the door and quickly closes it.

I put the TV on in my room and I saw Aubrey get out of the bathroom.
"Ooh! You look good. It almost reminds me of a princess!" I smile and she blushes a little.

The rest of the night we watched some movies but I did sometimes catch her staring/looking at Sunny's house from time to time and looks sad after.
