𝙁𝗢𝗥 the first time since school started, anastasia was face to face with her aunt unlike the many zoom calls. it had been a whole week since her and nika came up with their plan and for the most part, nika was following up with her end.
anastasia knew she held the fame bargain, but everytime she sat down to write- she couldn't bring herself to write a song about jaylen.
her aunt was oblivious to the idea and would most definitely disapprove of it, which is why anastasia was doing what she did best- lie.
"so, what?" veronica questioned, looking at the girl on the other end of the couch. "what do you mean what? i just told you, instead of announcing the album, drop at least three songs off of it and make it seem like singles." anastasia was actually gonna scream if she had to repeat herself again.
"how would that even work-"
"i already have something in my mind, i want the first release date to be next friday. it'll help keep me relevant if they're spaced out." the young woman cut her off. did she actually? no, but that didn't matter right now. the only thing that mattered was that she made her manager happy.
not that she didn't everyday, but she was making her aunt happy, not her manager.
"next friday? as in october thirteenth?" veronica asked. "yes, i have everything planned out." she in fact didn't have everything planned out- but she couldn't tell her that.
veronica smiled, clasping her hand together before reaching for her tote bag. "well, that settles fifty of my problems. now you've just gotta pretend to be interested in kiran and that'll solve all of them. i'll have to run a lot of this through the others but i'm sure they'll agree."
while anastasia was spending most of her day in new york pretending to be interested in some actor, nika was fighting the urge to gag everytime jaylen texted her. now that she wasn't with him, she noticed how corny he was.
this couldn't be the same guy she used to cry over. it was like when he lost anastasia and nika, he lost every phrase he'd used to get girls to fall for him.
"who are you textin'? you look like you're about to throw up." kk laughed, stuffing her face with potato chips. they were an odd duo and definitely the last person the other thought they'd share a dorm with, but there was never a dull moment in their dorm.
"jaylen." nika answered, tossing her phone onto the couch cushion. "umm, i thought we broke up with him?" the freshman turned to look at her older friend. "we did, but we are hungry." kk nodded, "okay well we're in the mood for chic-fil-a so make sure he gets the message."
nika laughed at her friend's antics before texting him once more. the situation was kind of fun. it was definitely something she hadn't done before and a risk itself but exciting all in all.
