Loving My Hot Girl Summer

Chapter Eight: Em's POV

Soon it was a few hours before going to the mall. I was going to wear a sweatshirt and jeans but Sasha wouldn't let me. So I instead wore a shirt she found in her closet from two years ago and my favorite black leggings. The top was basically a bra with sleeves, but it was cute. For once, I actually felt confident in my outfit. I curled my hair, attempted to do my makeup, failed miserably, forced Sasha to do my makeup, and I was finally ready to leave.

When I got there I started walking to the entrance to greet Avia and Avalyn. When I walked up the them, another girl was standing with them. Rebecca. When she saw me, she looked furious and started talking to Avia. When I walked over to them, Avia gave me a pitiful look. 

"So, Rebecca was able to come after all," she said awkwardly. 

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. "It wouldn't have hurt my feelings if you had revoked my invitation. I would have understood. Besides, I don't think Rebecca wants me here," I said passive aggressively. 

"Can you two just try to get along?" Avalyn rolled her eyes as if we were both at fault. "That fact that you girls are this bitchy to each other over a guy who doesn't even look hot is so weird."

"He's literally so sexy, how dare you?!" Rebecca crossed her arms. I nodded, accidentally agreeing with her.

Avia groaned. "Can you girls try and be civil with each other just for today? Try to be somewhat mature?"

"Fine," we both responded at the same time.

We started walking through the mall. I noticed Avia seemed a bit down. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Promise you won't tell anyone else, not even your pet dog!" She whispered.

"I don't own a dog so you don't have to worry about that," I laughed. "So whats up?"

She pulled us into the girls restroom and made sure no other person was in there. "So, I don't think you know this but I like Quinn."

I shrugged. "Understandable." 

"I asked him if he thought I was hot the other day and he said yes." For some reason that made me annoyed. I ignored it the odd feeling and kept listening.

"I sent him nude pictures of me and he didn't respond until the next day. When he did, be blew up at me and called me a bitch. He kept my number but blocked my snapchat. I don't know what I did wrong."

"Wait, why am I only hearing about this now?" Avalyn put her hands on her hips.

"Did you have his consent to send those pictures?" I asked as politely as I could without blaming Avia for what happened.

"Basically! He said I was hot! I mean, he asked me not to send more but I thought he just felt awkward. But maybe not considering how pissed he was later," Avia sighed.

"Him saying you're hot isn't consent- did you even pay attention in Health class?" Avalyn rolled her eyes at Avia. 

"You say that like you did! Besides, I thought he would enjoy it," Avia tried to reason with us.

"What if a boy you weren't attracted to sent you a dick pic? You would be disturbed and tell him off, right?" I explained.

"Oh shit, you're right. I'm an awful person." Avia started crying. "I ruined our friendship!"

"Great," Rebecca glared as me as she consoled Avia. "You made her cry."

"By making her realize she sexually harassed Quinn? Like a good friend should do?" I crossed my arms. Rebecca was silent for a moment.

"You've only been her friend for a couple of weeks. I have been friends with her for three years. Do the math," Rebecca continued glaring at me.

"You've been her friend for three years and still don't know how to it right?" I crossed my arms.
