eight.

      PEYTON rushed to open the door when Hazel rang the bell. Penelope followed immediately but her daughter was quicker to open. Hazel looked at them, confused by the rushed state they were in. Peyton knew very well that if she left the brunette alone with her mother, she was going to be treated to a host of embarrassing questions, and she wasn't going to let that happen.

"Come on in." Peyton took a step back to make way for Hazel.

      The girl smiled as she entered and Penelope quickly rushed to take her in her arms. Hazel seemed a little surprised at Mrs. Holloway's familiarity and she awkwardly returned the hug.

      "Mom, can you let go of her, please." Peyton rolled her eyes as she closed the door.

      Penelope walked away with a big smile. "Sorry. I'm just really happy you're here, Hazel."

      "Thank you, madam. I bought this, I don't know if—" Hazel began, handing her a bottle of wine.

       "Thank you, you shouldn't have! And no madam, call me Penny." the woman told her before glancing at her daughter. "She's better than that jerk Allan."

      "Great, Mom, it's not awkward at all." Peyton replied with an embarassed look.

      "What? I'm just saying." her mother gave a knowing smile to Hazel. "When do you have to leave?"

      "In an hour and a half." the blonde girl replied.

       The girls decided to get revenge on Jeff that same evening by throwing eggs and toilet paper at his house. It had changed all the plans for Peyton and Hazel's evening but they had decided to have dinner as decided and join the others afterwards.

      "Okay, let's eat then." Penelope declared.

      Dinner went well despite Mrs. Holloway's sometimes embarrassing questions. She seemed to adore Hazel, which made Peyton feel guilty for lying to her about her fake relationship with the brunette. When the van with the rest of the group picked them up, the two girls quickly left the house to avoid Penelope's questions about what they were about to do.

      The van parked in front of Jeff's house and the girls dispersed. Peyton found herself with Sofia, Annie and Sylvie to throw the toilet paper. Annie was trying to explain to Sylvie how to do it because she couldn't throw it correctly. After a while, PJ gave the signal for them to regroup and the girls all returned to the van. Well, almost all of them.

      "Where is Hazel?" the blonde girl asked.

      PJ looked around. "Does anyone know where the fuck Hazel is?"

      Peyton frowned in worry but she finally saw Hazel who was running towards them. "It's gonna blow!"

     "Oh wow, yeah, it's gonna blow, guys." PJ mocked.

      It did blow. Everyone screamed as Jeff's car was burning. Hazel ran into Peyton's arm and the girl grabbed her to lead her to the van.

      "Let's go, let's go!" everyone yelled.

      They all got into the van and drove away before Jeff or his parents saw them.

      "I can't believe you actually set off a bomb." Peyton said to Hazel, but you could tell by her slight smile that she was amused by the situation.

      The brunette shrugged. "He deserved it."

      "Yes, he did."
