We pull up to Rachel's family estate . We can already see her mom waiting out side  but the front door . She has on the a dark blue power suit that shows a bit  of her cleavage. With it are a couple Pandora bracelets. I always wondered why Rachel still  slums it with me and Tiff while she's the mayors daughter . It's mainly because we all grew up in the same high crime infested area when we were kids,   before Rachel's mom became mayor.  Our families used to host Saturday day brunches together. My mom , Aunt Ivy, Rachel's mom and Tiff's mom. Rachel's dad is also a criminal but she doesn't know who though. Her mom refuses to tell her.

So it was the three of us against the world from day one. Our mom's lived in the same building and they trauma bonded about dating villains. Once Aunty  Eve ( Rachel's mom) became mayor things changed a bit. She went to a private school while Tiff and I still went to our sucky school. Rachel still kept in touch and we visited her often but she always had to keep up this new image of perfection I front of the media. They even had a scandal because she started wearing training bra's that were not eco-friendly. That was sick and messed up . It was the reelections and press tension was high. After that Rachel snapped and had be rebelling with us. Just like the old days.

Tiff parks the car next to her. We all step out to try and help soften the blow of Rachel's mom rage. " Good evening Aunty Eve don't you look absolutely gorgeous this fine evening, is that a new pantsuit?" I say with the most enthusiasm I can muster.

Tiffany: " It really does wonders for your figure."🙂

Mayor Eve: " Ladies what time is curfew?"

" 1 : 30 am ?" I answer

Mayor Eve : " Exactly tell me why you are home 2:30?" 

Rachel: " Mom we just got caught in traffic, you know how Gotham can get there was a robbery at the bank again that caused a major lock down on the highways."

Mayor Eve then turns to us looking us up and down almost like  she can smell the lies. On us. She makes me more nervous that when my mom gets angry.

Mayor Eve : " Sigh, this couldn't be helped then, next time just notify me you're going to be late." "Thank you for bringing Rachel safely home girls."

Tiffany: " It wasn't problem we love our girl Rachel. " 

"Yeah and also none of us drank tonight  we were super responsible."

Mayor Eve: " Rachel say good bye to your friends and go inside, this was the last late night party of the summer. School starts in 2 days on Monday. I need you focused for the new semester. We can't give the press a field day now."

Rachel: " I get it mom we need to look like  the symbol of perfection🙄." Shen then turns and reaches for  us and gives us a huge hug.

Rachel: " Thanks for tonight I really needed it."

"Anytime girl, we'll call you when we get home."

Tiffany: "Cya"

We say our greetings to aunty Eve and make our back into the car. We drive out of the estate and back onto the highway. I stick my head out the window . The wind blows through my hair. With all the adrenaline gone from tonight's activities. I finally can catch my breath. I close my eyes and let my mind drift.  The cars racing  around me honking and shouts from Gotham night life. It's Friday after all. But I feel afloat the taste of alcohol still lingers on my breath and a little of strawberry as well. 

Before I know it we're back in our side of town. The street lights glare at my eye's so I pull myself back into the car and set the radio music high. I don't want to do too much thinking right now. If I do I will replay tonight's events and it might lead me to a certain emerald eye , tan skinned boy . I feel a chill run up my spine recalling his glare.
