I Wanna Be Yours

1-15 Bird Psycho

Season Two Episode One: Bird Psycho

After catching the Williams girl up on the ibis on the bag situation Quinni, Darren, Amerie, Harper, and Honey arrived at the gatho together.

As they walked in Quinni looked at the rest of the group, "Given there's five of us now, it'd be really helpful for me if we created a list of topics to talk about tonight and then also schedule the topics so we know the order. We can move between them organically, but it'd be good if we knew we had finished one topic before moving on. So, for example, the first topic could be Amerie becoming so overprotective of Harper, which is ruining her love life. And the second topic can be how much tension there is between Honey, Ant, and Spider."

Honey cringed at her friend's statement as Darren interrupted, "That sounds kind of complicated."

Quinni dropped her head, "No, you're totally right. Creating a schedule would be too much. Sorry. Forget about it."

Honey rubbed Quinni's back, "It was a good attempt babes. I can help you figure out something else later." Quinni squealed in thanks hugging Honey causing her bag to move towards Darren.

They sniffed the air around them, their face turning sour, "This place stinks."

Quinni had let go of Honey and smiled, "Oh. No, it's not the place. It's my bag. The ibis is in it. I'm gonna bury him. It'll be a nice final resting spot by the ocean."

The other three reacted in disgust but Honey smiled at her friend's kindness, "That's so lovely of you. Let me know when you are burying it. I'll help."

While the other four continued to discuss the bird's funeral, Amerie met Malakai's eyes from across the room. The tension between them filled the air almost immediately. Before either could do something Ant and Spider walked by greeting the boy and transferring all of Amerie's focus towards them.

Amerie, who had decided in her head that Spider had been behind the ibis, ran right up to him, "You did it, right? You're Bird Psycho."

"Bird Psycho?" Honey muttered not being there when the term was coined.

"What Amerie is calling my stalker," Harper explained Honey nodding in thanks.

Spider sneered, stopping his movement, "Here we go. Or maybe I'm just not the only one who thinks that Harper's a witch." He stopped his slew of insults for just a moment, eyes stuck on Honey who stood behind Amerie with the rest of the group before pulling his glance back to Amerie, "Enjoy the party, Cheezel breath."

He walked off leaving Amerie to sulk, "That dead shit is def Bird Psycho."

Ant who had been nearby and overhead quickly shook his head, "Nah, he's scared of birds. Can't even touch one."

Darren, who was holding a hand over their nose, still disgusted by the dead bird smell, rolled their eyes, "Oh, come off it."

"It's true. When we were kids, he got swooped by a swoopy boy magpie. Took a chunk out of his neck. Bloke's got like a full phobia now. Birdaphobia, I believe." He nodded proud of himself at for coming up with what he believed to be the correct term.

Amerie crossed her arms looking the boy up and down as if she was trying to find a sign he wasn't telling the truth, "As if. Honey?" Amerie looked behind her at the girl who was once one of Spider's closest confidants.

"He's not lying," the girl shrugged before walking away trying to put as much distance between her and her exes as possible.

Ant stood sadly in the corner not really sure what to do. Typically he would find either Honey or Spider and glue himself to them for the whole night but after the breakup and how weird things have been between all three of them it wasn't an option. All around him people poked fun at his earlier actions making him feel even worse about the whole situation.
