Erica's POV
It had been a couple of days since we had breakfast at the diner, and since then Rory and I are forever around each other.
I think we have major attachment issues. Im gonna be honest I never would have expected that from her. But it's cute.
We begin to take it in turns getting changed for school, obviously i'm last to get ready and Rory has to bribe me to get out of my bed. (If you couldn't already guess...we had a cuddle and an intense kiss. Wow.)
Since we're heading further into the winter months, Rory is wearing her navy blue knitted jumper where the sleeves are practically covering her hands like a pair of gloves.
Seems quite handy actually. Ha handy. Pun intended.
I'm mostly dressed now. I'm saying mostly because my tie is slung around my neck and my shoes still aren't on my feet.
"Erica put your tie on."
"I will, eventually. Be patient."
"Alright put your shoes on at least."
"You sound like my mum. Stop it Rory," I pout at her and she shrugs her shoulders.
After all the complaining from Aurora, I do get dressed 'properly' and she drags me downstairs for breakfast.
We are sat on a small table across from one another with our food sprawled everywhere.
Sharing is caring am I right? Not for Rory apparently. She's rather aggressive when it comes to food. Fair.
"I have a question," I start the conversation as we start eating.
She looks up at me with her glistening eyes and says, "hit me with it."
"What do you wanna do when you leave school?"
"Honestly...I don't know. I've done all these amazing things in school that I don't really know what I can do with any of it after I leave. Pointless really. But I think it would be interesting if I wrote a book," she gives me a shy smile.
"A book would suit you, you little nerd."
"Shut the fuck up. What would you do then?" she asks me now.
"Well if everything goes to plan, I'm gonna try and sell my artwork and then potentially set up some art classes for a variety of ages. I think everyone should get involved in some form of art."
"That's really cool actually. Do you think I could see some of your work sometime."
Little does she know i'm already painting something just for her.
"Sure, of course you can."

We both finish our breakfast and here comes the worst part of the day.
Lessons.
All I know is that I have maths first period so my day is automatically ruined.
Rory is practically speed-walking there, meanwhile i'm at least 10 paces behind, dragging my feet.
She turns around to look at me, rolls her eyes and lets out a giggle.
By the time we get to maths class, i'm extremely out of breath and on the verge of tears at the thought of random letters and numbers at this time in the morning.
Rory happily writes away next to me, whilst my book isn't even open.
"Erica what are you doing?" Aurora nudges me.
"Your mother," I let slip, "Woah! Sorry my brain is not keeping up with my mouth. I am most definitely not doing your mother."
"Well I should hope not."
"Why? You jealous?" I grin at her and she blushes.
This is a wild conversation. Not that I'm complaining.
"Shut. Up." She shakes her head and gestures for me to get on with the work.
I obviously oblige. I will hands down do anything she says.

After nearly dying in maths, I survived the full hour.
Impressive am I right?
Luckily, my next lesson is also with Rory. And it's French. For fuck sake.
This school hates me and so does this teacher.
"Bonjour Erica et Aurora," she greets us both.
Rory smiles. I unfortunately do not.
"Au revoir!" I go to leave the classroom but a pair of hands grab me back and launch me into my seat.
A bit dramatic description yet it's so accurate.
"I don't need French," I say to Rory.
"Probably not but tough, you have to learn it. It's part of the curriculum."
"Blah blah blah. I'm fluent already, listen. Je voudrais un croissant."
"Wow. Aren't you just a bilingual queen?" —————————————————————— Note for today: 02.07.23 A boring little filler chapter to keep you all occupied :) I promise there is better stuff coming soon.
Be prepared for: -Christmas dance -Winter break -The gang's holiday -And a lot more cuteness coming from Rory & Erica <3
