She'd Be Lying

Unwind

*Peggy's POV*

The bell rang at 2:05 and I was glad to head home. I was the first to Angelica's car.

My sisters got there soon after and we headed home. I stayed silent, which my sisters didn't seem to notice; they made small talk with one another and didn't bother to include me... like always.

Once we pulled up in the drive way, I quickly undid my seat belt and opened the door, I then proceeded to rush inside.

I ran up the stairs and quickly ran into our room. I threw my bag down on the floor by my bed.

I flopped down and closed my eyes.

"They didn't even notice me! God, they're so boy crazy." I sighed silently to myself.

I hear a knock on the door and realize it's Eliza. "Pegs?" I hear her say behind the door.

*Eliza's POV*

I slowly walk into the room and take a seat next to Peggy. "Is everything alright?" I place my hand on her shoulder.

"I'm fine 'Liza, I'm just tired.."

Tired.. Riiiiiight..

I give her a look, I know her better than that. "Peggy, what's really wrong?" I push "I know you're not 'just tired'"

She gives me a look, but finally caves in. "It's like you and Angelica don't even notice me... it's like I'm the black sheep of the family, and I don't feel important!" She huffs.

I look at her sympathetically, I brush her hair out of her face and tuck it behind her ear.

"Pegs, I'm so sorry..." I say sadly "We don't mean it, I promise. We just... get caught up in the moment.." 

She sighs "it's fine.." she says quietly.

I slowly get up from her bed and slowly make my way to my room, preparing for Alexander's arrival, with Peggy's confession stuck in the back of my mind.

*Angelica's POV*

I noticed that Peggy ran quickly upstairs to our room, but I couldn't have time to be bothered with it, and Eliza went up anyway.

I stayed downstairs to start working on my homework and organizing my things.

Senior year is not the year to mess up!

I remember that Eliza invited Alexander over, so I decided to quickly run into the kitchen and make some cookies.

I knew Eliza would've done it, but being the one who always cares, I knew she'd check on Peggy before doing anything else.

Alexander arrived exactly when he said he would.

I opened the door.

"Alexander, hi! Eliza is right up stairs. First door on the left. Just a fair warning we all share the room, but you shouldn't have a problem" I said with a smile as he entered and walked towards the stairs.

Back to homework! Just like that I found myself sitting back at the table, studying away.
