Ivory POV
*Ivory walked down the hallway and witnessed a tense argument between Trevor and Chloe.*

Trevor: You're telling everyone I'm a dog-ass guy like I didn't treat you well.

Chloe: Taking me out to a five-star restaurant one time is not a flex. Consistency is a flex, and you were never that.

Trevor: Whatever, Chloe. You're not the perfect person everyone thinks you are. You ruined my life.

*Trevor exits*

Are you okay? I heard the commotion earlier.

Chloe: I'm good. I'm a big girl. We literally ran into each other earlier.

Yeah, we did my fellow anime lover

Chloe: What's your name? I forgot to ask earlier

Ivory.

Chloe: Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Chloe. Let me go; my friends are waiting for me. I'm sure we will bump into each other again.

I see what you did there.

Chloe: Bye, Ivory

*They went their separate ways, and Ivory got into Jodi's car*

Jodi: What were you doing

You won't believe it. I talked to Chloe twice.

Jodi: YOU talked to her?

Ivory: Yes, she and that guy were arguing in the hallway, and I asked if she was okay."

Jodi: I'm proud of you, homie. Did you hear what happened to Trevor.

What do you mean?

Jodi: He suddenly lost his scholarship and potential sponsors.

Really? But what does that have to do with Chloe? They can't think she had something to do with that

Jodi: Trevor was blaming Chloe for it, saying her powerful family ruined his life when he got caught cheating

That's tough but I don't like Chloe to blame for that

Jodi: Well still be careful with that. See you tomorrow. Tell mom I said hey.

You gotta get off my mom.

Jodi: Your mom's fine.

Man, bye!

Upon reaching home, Ivory greeted his mom.

Ms. Patterson: Hey, baby. How was your day?

It was a pretty good day. I can't complain. What are you cooking, Mom?

Ms. Patterson: Well, I have this big event coming up to cater, and I'm testing out recipes. If I do a good job, it could lead to a constant gig.

That's good, Mom. You've got this in the bag for sure. Where's Dad?

Ms. Patterson: He went fishing. You can bring a man to the city, but you can't take the country out of him.

You know fishing is in his veins. He's going to find a way. But I'll let you focus. I'll be in my room. Love you.

Ms. Patterson: Love you too.

*As Ivory settled in her room, which conveniently had a view of Chloe's room, her brother Justice sought her help*

Justice: Ivory, I need your help.

You didn't even try to knock.

Justice: My bad.

What do you need help with?

Justice: I need help making it move around.

Let me see the code you put in for it.

Justice: I put in this one.

I see you messed up on it. What is this for, anyway

Justice: The battle arena is coming up soon, and I want to compete.

Oh yeah, I remember when I won that.

Justice: That's why I want to be the next to win.

Well, here, bro. You can use any parts from my robot that you need.

Justice: For real, thank you, Ivory. Love you.

Love you to
