Aphmau

"Aphmau get your butt down here right now!"

"I mean it! If you make me late you'll pay!" yells Katelyn.

"Okay okay fine," I shout back, "One second!" I quickly zip up my beige heeled boots and shove my books into my handbag. I topple downstairs and grab my phone off the couch before jogging towards the garage door. Katelyn stands in the garage, holding my car keys. I unlock my white BMW and make my way into the front seat. I plop my handbag in the back seat before locking the keys in the ignition. Katelyn hops in beside me in the passenger seat and sets her bag at her feet.

She throws me the garage remote, I press it and the garage door starts rolling up. I throw it back to Katelyn and reverse out into the driveway. It's really gloomy today, I've got another full week of college but I've got something special planned on Friday night.

I hurry down the corridor and push open a set of double doors. Below of me is a theatre. Theatre class. Yes! I spot a crowd of students seated towards the bottom-left side of the theatre so I step slowly down the carpeted pathway. I get close enough and people direct their attention towards me.

I feel heat crawl up my neck, filling my cheeks and the teacher turns to me, "And who might you be?" she asks.

"My name is Aphmau,"

"Are you in my class?" she asks with a cracked voice. I look around the area and no one else is here except this class. I'm guessing she's a bit dumb considering we are the only group of people in this massive auditorium. Duh. Obviously I am.

I clear my throat, "Yes ma'am,"

"Okay well then Aphmoo take a seat,"

"It's-"

She cuts me off, "Okay class today we are going to get to know each other and start on a play which will be judged later next week," she trails off and I spot an empty seat. My luck. Nicoles in my class! I weave through people's legs and apologise as I make my way to the seat next to her.

"Oh, hello Aphmoo," she says. Note the sarcasm

I take a seat beside her. I roll my eyes and set my handbag at my feet before slouching back down.

"Hey,"

"How's that arm doing?" she asks. After the needle incident on Sunday morning I haven't been moving my arm much because it throbs but It should be fine now.

"It's okay," I nod my head towards the teacher and so does she.

"I want you all to split into groups and when you've introduced yourselves to each other start on the play," the teacher instructs us. This is college? It's my second last year here and they still get us to introduce ourselves to each other?

I stand and go off with everyone else onto the stage, Nicole gestures me towards her and I follow. Travis is standing with another girl. I have no problem with Travis making a new friend but that friend is hitting on him while she's innocently twisting a lock of magenta hair around her index finger. Funny, something about her is familiar.

I walk up to him and smile then turn my attention to her, "Hi, are you going to be in our group?" I say in my nicest tone.

She gives an innocent smile, "Umm...? Yeah, Obviously," Bitch is just trying to get up in my grill.

"Then why don't we introduce ourselves," I state, shooting daggers at her. We are not getting on a good start.

"Okay then," Travis starts, "Aphmau, Nicole, this is Ivy.... Ivy, these are my best friends,"

Ivy takes out her hand to shake mine and I accept, "Okay then, what play should we do?" she asks.

"Cinderella?" a voice says. Katelyn. I whip my head around and my hair goes in her face. She smacks me on the back and stands beside me. 

"Ouch." I mumble.

"Yeah, that could do..." Nicole comments.

"Hell no," I say. I ain't gonna run around in glass high heels.

Travis laughs, "Aphmau it's not that bad,"

"Yeah, also it's also one of the only plays we're all familiar with," says Nicole.

"Okay, fine" I gave in. We all walked towards the seats and started on the script. Not much of an argument that I put up. Well scratch that I'm not in the mood.

"So classes are definitely mixed for the next year for us," I say.

"Yeah, but we won't be here next year," says Nicole.

"Why?" asks Travis.

"Were graduating this year dingus," says Katelyn, rolling her eyes.

"Oh," says Travis confused as he rubs the back of his head.

"C'mon lets go to Starbucks," I say trying to lighten the mood. Lucky for us when we lived back in Pheonix drop as teens we all got accepted into the same college. There was some partnership between Pheonix drop high school and Our Lady Irene College. Everyone is in college except Vylad, since he got back from travelling so soon he said he's not going to get straight back into school and stuff.

"Yeah I need coffee right now," says Nicole. I giggle and all of us walk out of campus.

After having a random conversation as we walked a couple of blocks to Starbucks. We all ordered and had a joke around.

"Here, Blueberry Bagels," I say setting down the plate for Aaron on the dinner table.

"Thanks," he says. His birthday is on Friday and I have no clue what to get him. I come up closer to him.

"Baby," I say wrapping my arms around his neck, I pull his hood down and rest my chin on his head. 

"Hmm?" 

"What do you want for your birthday?" I question him.

"You," he replies. Great, cue the crazy red blush that engulfs my face.

"You already do, besides me what else do you want?" I ask again.

"I dunno," I can't get a straight answer from him so I guess I'll get him something random when I go shopping.

"C'mon, you sure?"

"Yeah," he assures. I get back up ad walk into the kitchen to get some water. I fill up the glass of water and gulp it down before setting it in the sink. 

"Well I've got to get to work now so make yourself at home," I say before going over to him, kissing him on the forehead and heading upstairs. 

I check on Cookie and Celeste and aww they're sleeping together! Katelyn's meditating. Kawaii~Chan is reading fan fictions so I guess they're fine. I walk back down and get my handbag and keys before saying a quick bye to Aaron and leaving.
