The week was going by quickly and just like that it was the day of the game, the day before spring break was upon. Lila had mixed feelings about break. She felt like something bad was going to happen, but she always had that feeling from the beginning of everything she'd witnessed, maybe she was overthinking it all this time and it will all be fine, no tears to be shed but that's what she said last time.

Lila had spent the past few days giving Chrissy the silent treatment, until the second practice session on Thursday, where she had to interact with and not ignore. Stella had to push Lila towards the blonde after practice was over and make sure she didn't try to run away or get cocky like Lila normally did. "Okay now hug it out, especially you Lila." Stella says, after finally get the talk properly done.

"This isn't kindergarten, I'm not a child."

"Oh but you act like one so shut up." Stella says, as she continues to push Lila into the hugging position. "Was that so hard?"

"Yes."

"Unbelievable." Stella and Chrissy both say.

"I still hate him and I am still a bit unhappy with-" Lila started to say.

"Oh my God!" Stella says, groaning in frustration. "Drop it you petty child." She chuckles.

"Sorry."

The day of the pap rally and game was today and Lila Harrington was currently waiting at the bottom of the stairs for her brother, Steve to finish getting ready. "Hurry the fuck up, Robin is literally waiting for us!" Lila shouts from the stairs.

"Alright, alright I'm coming!" Steve shouts back, as he rushed down the stairs.

"Slow ass." Lila comment.

"Inpatient ass." Steve fired back.

"Rude."

"Rude." Steve says, mockingly as they leave the house.

"Uh, no you were taking fucking forever, it wasn't  even me this time so shut up."

"God you're so annoying."

"Uh says you."

The drive to Robin's was spent bickering with one another until Steve stopped to ask, "why am I driving you?"

"Thought I'd give Stella a break-"

"You have your own ca-"

"If you'd let me bloody finish before opening that fat mouth of yours, I was gonna say I didn't want to drive and I remember you sometimes drive Robin so I took the opportunity."

"I think mum and dad getting you a car was pointless, you never drive it."

"Uh excuse me, yes I bloody do. You're just blind and unaware."

"That's not- whatever."

"Exactly." Lila says, as the car comes to a stop where Robin was standing, waiting patiently.

"Took your time." Robin said, getting in.

"Blame Steve, he was taking forever to get ready."

"Lila?"

"Hi." Lila says, smiling.

"She is giving Stella a break from driving her and doesn't want to drive herself." Steve speaks, as he waits for Robin to be seated.

The drive was spent with Lila zoning in and out of the conversation which consisted of Steve going on and on about his girl problems, "and then there's Heidi tomorrow tonight, but the issue is she's going out of state for colleg-"
