"It's game day!" Giovanna screamed at the top of her lungs. "Get up, what're you guys doing? Did you not hear my alarm?"

Aurora groaned, she is not a morning person. She stretched, knocking Bo off her twin XL bed.

"Girl, what the hell?!" Bo looked up at Aurora from the floor, rubbing his bottom.

"I really need a boyfriend. Why has Grant been MIA? I hate hanging out with you two on my own sometimes." Bo exclaimed.

Giovanna shot Bo a glare, warning him to shut his trap.

He shrugged in response, dispising the way Grant has been treating Aurora.

The two both decided to jump into a relationship rather quickly. Dating without a label until month two at Sun Valley. Meanlessly to say, Aurora and Grant were serious. I mean, they were each other's first everything.

"It's just not adding up," tears sparked Aurora's eyes. "I mean, he hasn't even answered me in a week, then randomly texts me that he will be at the game, from an unknown number?"

"Is the sex that good for you to be so upset?" Bo sighed, laughing from the ground below.

"Yes, of course it's good," Aurora sniffs. "It's so much more than sex, Bo. We have an emotional connection. I am so vulnerable around him. Grant is my home away from home." Aurora cries out.

Giovanna and Bo gaze at one another. They've never seen her like this before and they hate the fact that she is forming an unhealthy attachment to Grant. 

"Aurora," Giovanna gets off her bed and goes to sit beside her. "For Thanksgiving break, he didn't even want you to go home with him and meet his father. He never opens up to you about his family situation. Whom he never really talks about. It is really strange and —"

"Girl he never wants Giovanna and I around you," Bo cuts off Giovanna. "I swear he must've put a tracker on you because every time we go out, he appears or texts you knowing where we are." He laughs but has a serious demeanor.

"I know you two don't like him but this is my relationship!" Aurora jumps off the bed and walks to their bathroom to wash her face. "Besides, you both know he is very protective of me and is just a shy guy".

Aurora turns on the faucet and Giovanna follows her, sitting on the toilet. Bo is close by, sitting on top of the sink.

"We are just looking out for you, sugar." Bo rubs Aurora's arm while she glares at him, squeezing out her cleanser.

"I appreciate that. I just don't know why he hasn't been answering my calls —"

"Not to mention the no caller ID and unknown text message about being at the game" Giovanna added.

"Or like I said before, knowing exactly where you are 24/7. He must have your phone tapped," Bo starts swinging his legs on the counter. "Listen, if he doesn't show, I say we go out to the gay bar tonight and get black out drunk," he explains.

"Uh, 1000 percent, we should go regardless if Grant shows or not. We can do a smokey eye on you, Bo", Giovanna stands up from the toilet.

"We seriously need to start getting ready for the game. I don't know if I'm excited for the pep rally performance or seeing the sexy basketball players". Giovanna does a dance pose and motions for Aurora to leave the sink.

Aurora huffs, putting her moisturizer on outside the bathroom. She was annoyed. Her two best friends won't even let her rant about her feelings. It's not her fault they dislike her boyfriend so much.
