TOUGH NIGHT
[ Michelle Holland's POV- ]

It was going to be a tough night for the two love birds. Not only are they separated for the time being, they are going to spend their long night with those who make themselves uncomfortable.

As Zion was getting ready for the party of the one and only Vienna Peters, he just couldn't stop the endless loop playing in his head on how he used to like her. The way how he absolutely adored those beautiful, silky blonde hair that always were behind those soft looking shoulders of hers.

He sighs as he could still hear her laugh in his mind. Zion would feel as if he was the man whenever the young teen would burst into laughter because of something he said. He got adviced to just tell her, tell her what his heart was saying. So he did. Teenager Zion went up to teenager Vienna and so did he confessed his feelings for her.

It did not went great.

So here is Zion, all glowed up and looking like a snack- my bad. Looking like a whole course meal with the whipped cream on top. He couldn't blame Vienna for not liking him back, he respected her decision and decided to just move on. He moved to LA to pursue his dreams and just got to be so lucky when he found out that his ex-crush was studying in town as well.

The bronzed boy wished nothing more than leaving that chapter far, far away under the piles of other pages. He learned to move on from his first crush and to search for someone else, which he gladly did. Once Vienna and Zion came in contact again, they ended becoming very good friends and supporting each others to the fullest. Hyping each other's was a thing that can not be stolen away by someone else, they're just each others hype-buddies!

Michelle on the other hand was almost killing herself, not wanting the clock tick its way to the six pm. Just two minutes until Mitch would knock onto her door to take her out for dinner. Lots of groans and grunts has left her mouth already by only thinking about it.

Mitch was a nice guy, in fact, Mitch really is a keeper and a dream boy. But he's just simply said not Michelle's dream boy. He was the one who offered her big things, the person who can spoil her with expensive things and he for sure was a person that was wanted by girls who can give him more things.

But what she didn't know was what really went down between him and her boyfriend. All she knew was that they went to the same high school along with Nathan and Vienna. But better left unsaid, those were the only information the girl got received.

There were moments where Michelle always lost her temper. She wanted to scootch Mitch away by telling him she has a relationship with Zion, but for the sake of both of their standards in this business they still need to remain lowkey. So there goes Michelle, going with the flow and acting like there really is nothing going on whenever Mitch was there.

There was a knock on the door, both doors of Zion's bedroom door and Michelle's office door. It was exactly six pm when the sound of knuckles against hard wood fills roars over the song American Teen by Khalid that both Zion and Michelle were playing. Even though Michelle already had the permission to leave along with her colleagues at two pm, something has slipped her mind which made her stay at her office.

In fact, it was a new song that came right slipping through her mind.

Edwin was right there, waiting for Zion to step out so the boys were heading their way to the party. There was a moment where they all started hesitating, because now that Michelle wasn't tagging along, who was now going to be that one sober friend?

Mitch steps into Michelle's office with a bright smile. She returned the smile, just to be polite before she closes her notebook and places it in her handbag. A secret sigh has escaped her lips as she pushes her chair back under the desk before walking around it.
