"Monet! Zoya! What the actual fuck is happening?" Julien demanded, closing the door behind her

"Monet! Zoya! What the actual fuck is happening?" Julien demanded, closing the door behind her. Monet swiftly jumped off Zoya and reached for her trench coat.

"Julien, what are you doing here? Your location said you were at Obie's," Monet replied in shock, as she had checked her location before going to Zoya's apartment.

"I left my phone there by accident. I'm getting it in the morning. Wait! Why are you not answering me? What is going on between you two?" Julien asked, her frustration rising.

Monet, clearly uncomfortable with the intrusion, attempted to defuse the situation. "I think this is a private matter between sisters. I should leave." She swiftly buttoned up her trench coat. "Zoya, I'll talk to you later." Monet hurriedly left the house before Zoya could respond.

Julien crossed her arms, her glare unwavering as she fixed her eyes on Zoya. "Talk. Now!" She demanded, leaving no room for evasion or excuses.

"Sit down. This is going to be a long story," Zoya said, motioning for Julien to sit. Still skeptical about what she had just witnessed, she complied with her expression of concern.

Zoya began recounting everything to Julien, starting with using Monet's name at rave in Philly, stalking her photos, Monet ruining Drew, getting together the day of the luncheon, and concluding with the recent encounter she had just witnessed. She didn't hold back any details, laying it all bare for her sister to understand.

Julien closed her eyes, feeling a headache coming on as she massaged her temples with her fingers. "My little sister and my best friend dating?" She says, a bit disgusted. "Are you sure it's dating? What I saw seemed more like..."

Zoya quickly interrupted Julien to clarify, "No! We are dating, but it's not public. She still avoids me at school and has no valid reason why we aren't out in public yet, which is why I'm on strike."

"This explains why she was here with the trench coat." Julien started piecing things together, even though the situation remained complicated.

"I think your strike might backfire; Monet does not like to lose," Julien warned, recognizing Monet's competitiveness.

"I know, I'm handling it, but please, Julien, do not say anything to anyone. If this comes out, I want it to be from Monet and me, not from rumors or Gossip Girl. Please!" Zoya pleaded, knowing how much Julien loves to talk.

Julien sighed, "Fine, it's not like I have anyone to tell. Audrey, Aki, and Max are not talking to me right now. I'm pretty sure Luna already knows."

Zoya remained adamant, stating, "She doesn't know. Monet hasn't told her."

Julien, however, nodded confidently. "Believe me, Zoya, she knows."

Shan could not contain her laughter the following day at school after hearing from Zoya about Julien catching her with Monet. She chuckled excessively and teased, "Wow, your sister caught Monet naked on your lap!"
