"This bitch." Normani growled when she saw her lock turned around. Normani was a sophomore while Ally was a senior, which meant Ally had a way better schedule than her, giving Ally more free time than Normani.

Not only was Normani's lock turned around, her locker was zip-tied shut. She groaned and rolled her eyes, stalking off to the nearest empty classroom for scissors.

When Normani returned to her locker with a pair of scissors in her hand, a note was hanging out of her locker.

"have a great year, bitch. - your favorite, a"

Normani tore the note apart aggressively. She cut the zip-tie and had gotten her lock to open after a few minutes. She let out a breath of relief only to gasp and scream when all of her books come tumbling out of her locker. The ruckus caused a few passing students to whisper and continue on, not one stopping to help Normani.

As if the day could get any worse.

Oh but it did.

Later that afternoon Normani had volleyball practice. What made practice even better was that it was with one of Ally's hot friends Dinah-Jane. Normani then learned that she had no chance with her.

Her spandex had disappeared, she could not find them at all.

"Looking for these?" Ally came around the corner, holding Normani's spandex in her hand.

"Y-yes." Normani stuttered. Dinah came from the same corner Ally did, and with a smirk to match Ally's, she "accidentally" pushed Ally's hand, Ally dropping Normani's spandex into a puddle of water.

"Oops." Ally shrugged, walking off with Dinah. Normani sighed, she was just going to have to practice in P.E. shorts.

And when she thought the games were through, she was terribly wrong.

Normani was the last to finish showering. She really was close to pinning someone to the ground and punching the absolute shit out of someone, so when she found that she couldn't find her clothes, she was ready to kill someone. Specifically Ally Hernandez and Dinah-Jane Hansen.

After searching through the locker rooms with just a towel wrapped around herself, she finally found her clothes in the garbage.

"sorry, we just had to put your clothes where they're meant to be. - love, a."

"I love my life." Normani grumbled, sarcasm dripping from her words.

Normani's family sat on one side of the long conference table in the Hernandez Enterprises' conference room. Ally's sat across from the Hamilton's.

"So, family. We are here to finally give a full explanation as to why we're doing this." Jerry started off. Ally was accompanied by her brother and mother, who sat emotionless. Normani had her two older sisters and her mom sitting next to her. She stared intently at Ally, giving a mean side-eye.

"As we all know, our enterprises have been in a deep feud over who is the better company. But Jerry and I met last week because we both found ourselves in debt over this feud, and realized we needed to work it out. We had agreed to join our companies together, the businesses will then become under both of our names, with a halfway split. We then decided, that because some companies probably wouldn't be happy with that, we decided to throw in our daughters getting married, because everyone loves a good 'ole love story, don't they?" Derrick explained, flashing a smile.

"No one loves a fake love story." Ally huffed.

Jerry ignored Ally's comment and continued on, "with this marriage comes you two actually being married. We're working on getting one of the best wedding planners in Texas. We're looking to get you two your own home, at which you need to live in, together. I understand that there is some very, very hard tension between you two, but hopefully this time and no space will bring you two together and settle your differences. Is that understood?" Jerry looked at his daughter, who scoffed and nodded.
