Pupil Dilation

Alison paced around the room. She was afraid of what Mary would say about last night. Alison was on the newspapers, and it was about the incident that happened last night.

Alison wasn't too drunk to forget about the odd man that harassed her. But she felt bad that he was sent to jail for that. But Alison told the police that it was a mistake so they released the man.

The man's name was Dave. Dave had thanked her for excusing his inappropriate behaviour last night and he reasoned that he had too much last night. Alison had noticed that he was actually a decent man... who had a little too much to drink last night.

"Don't be nervous, Ali," A soft voice spoke. Alison turned around and she relaxed a bit when she sees Emily standing on the doorway, "I explained everything that happened to Mary but Mary didn't really scream or anythi–"

"Because she screamed after the call!" Alison interrupted, suddenly panicking again. Mary might look like a sweetheart but when you piss her off she can turn full on heda-mode. You don't want to encounter that version of Mary.

Emily chuckled softly and walked towards Alison. With a reassuring squeeze on Alison's arm, she spoke, "Stop worrying, Alison. I am sure she won't be that harsh on you considering how you just came home from.... the hospital." She had a long pause, though, as if she was choosing her words carefully so Alison wouldn't have a moment where all the memories came crashing at once.

Emily looked at Alison to see if her eyebrows were creased together. Emily had learned that it was one of Alison's quirks. She did that when she's confused, mad and when she's thinking about something deeply. But her beautiful face still looked relaxed.

"Maybe you're right," Alison muttered, and she said it quietly as if she was convincing herself that Emily was, indeed, right. Then she looked up to Emily and Emily saw panic flickering through her blue icy eyes as she bit her lip, "But what if–"

Before Alison could jump into conclusions, Mary bursted into the room with a metal bat in her hand. She looked at Alison and pointed the metal bat at her, threateningly glaring at the blonde.

Emily chuckled at the scene before her. She knew that Mary was just playing with Alison because she saw a glint of amusement in her hazel eyes when she bursted into the room. Alison looked horrified, she held unto every object she touched and right now, she was holding the lamp.

Would that protect her? Well... If she threw it at Mary, yes but would she throw it at Mary? Probably not.

"Look, M-Mary," Alison started, her lips quivering in fear as she looked up to the hazel-eyed girl, "I know you're mad but–"

"Damn right, I'm mad!" Mary exclaimed in a voice that was too deep (if Mary auditioned for a movie, she would have failed.) but Alison was too horrified to notice, "You..." Mary started but couldn't finish because the urge suddenly became too much and she started laughing.

Emily then laughed along with Mary. Alison stopped and she looked at the two other girls with her eyebrows raised. Is Ashton Kutcher going to appear out of the curtains and–

"I got you so good!" Mary cooed, pointing at Alison with a chuckle. She crossed her arms and smirked at Alison.

Alison squinted her eyes at the other girl and, once again, Emily stood back and watched the scene before her in amusement. They were keeping her entertained so why bother stopping it? Plus, Mary was just joking around.

Alison opened her mouth to speak but Mary beat her to it, "Anyways, I scheduled a concert that'll be happening tomorrow and Emily will be performing a duet with you." She said in her usual buisness woman voice and glanced briefly at Emily.

"I am?" Emily asked in bewilderment.

"Yep, now shut up, I came here to tell you guys that you have to sleep early because we have to practice and–"

"Yes, Ma'am!" Alison saluted making Mary chuckle.

"Don't do that, you look stupid."

"Wait," Emily blurted out as she looked at Mary, "Can Alison and I go out today before we move into some professional stuff?" She questioned, her voice suddenly getting high-pitched, as if she was really hoping Mary would say yes. To add to her plead, she pouted, gently popping out her bottom lip to the other girl.

"Please?" She begged, giving her the puppy eyes too.

Alison chuckled as Mary sighed in defeat, "Fine." She grunted and before Emily could squeal, Mary added, "But come back at 10."

Emily smiled and nodded her hand, gently grabbing Alison's hand before she dragged her out of the mansion and into the car.

Alison watched as Emily tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, singing along to the song that was blasting from the speakers in her car. For a moment, Alison forgot that they were both celebrities because this felt like highschool all over again, except they weren't on a motorcycle.

Emily slightly turned her head to look at Alison. She felt Alison's intense gaze at the side of her head and made sure that it was Alison, because maybe it was just a ghost.

When their eyes made contact, Alison chanted in her mind, Dear pupils, please don't dilate. Please don't dilate. Please don't dilate.

Emily knew that if a person looks at someone they loved, their pupils dilate. But Emily didn't need to worry about that. She had dark brown eyes, which makes it hard, unless you look closely, to see wether they were dilated or not.

She blinked at the blonde girl because her pupils were dilated. So dilated that it looked like her eyes were black.

HONK!

Emily jumped and noticed that the red light was now a green light. She blushed and went back to driving. Alison sat there with her mouth slightly opened. There was something different in the way Emily was looking at her.

Could they both have caught feelings for each other like they did in highschool? Or was this a misunderstanding?

Alison sighed and her eyelids suddenly became heavier through every second that passed. Alison was tired and before her eyes closed, a voice in the back of her head said, "Emily." and with that, Alison entered her slumber, dreaming about the other brunette.
