A Series Of Emotions

Ch 6: Sleepover.

All nighters with the staff was common, especially at Starbucks. Of course, Leo hated these things since it involves taking control of everyone in the somewhat noisy coffee shop, and they were usually initiated by Alexander. So when Alexander decided to have everyone over at his house for the weekend, it was an actual nightmare come true to her. Sure she would have Penelope and Savannah with her but Alex had Matt Tyler and Emily.
Penelope was her best friend since diapers. The pair did everything, and sometimes Penelope was Leo's voice. Savannah was her dearest cousin, who looked up to Leo as she was a sophomore. But in the smallest of ways Savannah held a slight superior stance to Leo, as Savannah has yet to fully come to terms that she's rather capable of leading the trio out on her own upon many new adventures that Leo would never dare. That was something Leo held admiration towards Savannah for. How humble she managed to keep herself. Leo cherished both of the girls, and was relying on them heavily for this weekend.
As for Alexander, this was not only a chance to power through some much-needed yearbook work that other staff members needed to pick up their slack on, it was his chance to try to get Leo's attention. Matt Tyler was horrible for yearbook, but he was great for distractions. It would only be a matter of time before Leo would actually have to speak for herself. The only downside was Emily would know where he lived. Emily was nice to him, but she also had a major crush on him and he wasn't interested. But there's a price to pay to get what you want, no? It seemed to him Emily knowing where he lived was the price to hear Leo finally crack.

I locked my phone after silencing the group chat. It's always easier to ignore them whenever they get into an argument. I needed to finish packing my overnight bag and tomorrow's necessities. It was only 5:17pm which means I had about less than 30 minutes to start heading to Savannah's. I didn't want to go to Alexander's no, but since we're co-editors I guess I didn't have much of a choice.
The thing with Alexander is... he isn't that bad, he's just rather really entitled sometimes. Like the thing with my voice, I don't get the obsession with wanting me to talk. It's odd. The past month has been rather odd. Alexander's fallen back into his usual habits of antagonizing me and acting as if nothing happened. I wonder what is happening in his brain.
