It had been a month since the incident and Arlo was basically over it. They were hanging out with the group again and luckily enough, Zoey had just broken up with Cash so she wasn't around.
Though they were over it, they still didn't like Zoey. What she said to them was fucked up and it was even more fucked that she had yet to apologize. She has plenty of time to apologize by now, even before her break up and her choice to not reach out just proved that she didn't care.
And in return, Arlo decided that they also wouldn't care about anything that had to do with Zoey Johnson. They were turned off their friendship with her after what she did with Luca and Aaron, and it was obvious that she hadn't changed from her selfish ways.
Now they resided in their dorm, laughing with Luca as they both painted when a knock was heard at the door.
Walking to the door, Luca opened it revealing all the girls minus Zoey,"uh, hello?" He greeted confused, not knowing why they were at their dorm,"Can I help you?"
"We here for lo," Sky stated, causing Luca to nod and look back into the dorm
"Going to a party," Nomi added
"Lo, the girls want you," He told his roommate
"Is Zoey gonna be there?" Arlo asked, and all the girls winced knowing that was more than likely a deal breaker
"Is Zoey gonna be there?" Luca asked the girls, though by their face he could tell that she was,"They not gonna go if she's there," he told them
"Yeah, we should just go," Nomi suggested, sighing because she really wanted to hang out with Lo
"I'm guessing she's gonna be there," Arlo said, walking to the door and leaning on the frame
"Yeah," Ana answered, nodding her head with an awkward smile on her face
"Ok no, I think I'm good here," Arlo mumbled, and Luca took that as a cue to close the door
"Wait," Jazz, stopping the door with her foot,"Maybe it won't be so bad," she said, giving Arlo pleading eyes
"I'm sure it would," Arlo muttered, and sighed at the desperate look they were given,"Look, Jazz, Sky, I love you guys, Nomi I like you, and you," they pause, pointing at Ana with a confused expression,"I-I don't know who you are," they mumbled, shaking there head
"I'm-" Ana started to introduce, shocked that Arlo didn't know who she was as the others chuckled
"Point is, I have absolutely no problem hanging out with you guys but I would rather cut off my pinkie toe than be around Zoey," Arlo stated, completely disregarding Ana and looking to the other three, which Luca smirked at his roomate
"You don't think that maybe it'd be easier to be around her if you tried?" Nomi questioned, causing Arlo to frown and the twins & Luca to wince as they knew that frown
"You don't think that maybe if you weren't a homophobic bisexual, you'd still have a boyfriend?" Arlo retorted, shutting Nomi down quickly as she avoided everyone's eye line
"Damn," Ana whispered, eye's widening at Arlo's sudden hostility
"Y'know what," Arlo sighed, running a hand through their hair,"I'll go," they said, earning big smiles from the twins
"Really?" Jazz questioned, her eyes big with hope
"Yeah, just give me a minute," Arlo told them, closing the door to their shared dorm with Luca and changing
