Michelle sat at a table with Tory, Aisha and Moon. After practice that day, the team decided to hang out at the local diner. Michelle and Tory had just finished a conversation on Team Damon or Team Stefan, when Moon let out an excited shriek from beside Tory.

"Oh my god. Yasmine has the same bikini as me," She said as she looked at her latest Instagram post on her phone.

Both tory and Michelle made a face at Moon and shook their heads. The things that this girl found exciting was mildly concerning.

"Tell her she can stay in France," Aisha said.

Michelle nodded her head quickly in agreement and popped a fried pickle in her mouth.

"The entire west valley has been a significantly more tolerable place since she left," Michelle said.

"And so has my life," Aisha mumbled. The girls all looked around at each other and started laughing. She was not wrong.

Tory then grabbed an ice cube from her drink and tossed it at Miguel who was sitting alone at a table working on something on his computer. Under normal circumstances, Michelle would have gone over to him and kept him company, however, she still want sure if he deleted Eli's call and text from her phone the night of the demo. So she kept her distance. Not that he noticed anyway.

As Tory spoke across the aisle to Miguel, and Aisha and Moon engaged in conversation about who knows what at this point, Michelle took a look at her phone and realized that Demetri had texted her.

Necromancer Jr.

Michelle! Do you want to come to the mall?

I am about to grab some food. Maybe we can hang out? It's been a while.

Michelle shook her head and smiled. It had been a while since they last hung out. Michelle was always caught up with karate. She figured she could leave the team a little early to hang out with her old friend. She had to admit that she did miss his weird self.

The Hot Twin

Yeah sure! I'm on my way.

Michelle stood up while taking a last sip of her drink.

"Sorry girls but i have to go," Michelle told the group. She then made her way out of the diner. Michelle didn't have a ride so she would have to walk home and then have her mom drive her the mall. Michelle had made it to the sidewalk across the street of the lot where the diner was when a black Jeep stopped next to her. Michelle slowed down but did not stop until the Jeep rolled down the window and she caught sight of his brand new red mohawk from the divers side and a confused Assface in the passengers seat. Michelle then stopped to face them.

"Where are you headed, princess?" Eli asked as he peeked past Assface to look at her. Well, he looked in her direction but avoided her eye contact.

"The mall..." Michelle answered slowly.

"Funny. So are we. Get in," Eli replied. He turned back to face the road.
