Emily's POV

"So he just gave her your room?" Alison questions me.

After telling Deno off she started talking to me and we haven't stopped talking since.

It's literally been two whole hours and we're still talking.

Too bad group is almost over for the day until our next session next week.

"Yes" I angrily answer feeling the heat radiating beneath my skin causing my blood to boil. "And he didn't even ask me if I was ok with it, he never does" I express myself to the platinum blonde haired girl. "It's like he doesn't even care how I feel" I say. "And he's so proud of everyone else in the house but me" I say in a mocking tone.

"Why do you think that?" My new found friend asks giving me a confused face.

"Because he acts like he is" I let her know. "He's proud of them and not me all because I don't know how to use my stupid virtue" I sneer. "He thinks they're all better than me" I lastly mutter.

"But how do you know th...

"BECAUSE I CAN TELL!" I shout now glowing orange from the rage pinned up inside of me.

"Ok chill out" Alison tells me gently placing her ice cold hand on my skin generating steam from the hot and cold contact.

Now feeling the chill from her skin cooling down mine I begin to breath normally again.

"Just calm down, I'm sure that he doesn't think that" she tells me. "You'd be stupid to ever think that someone could be better than you" the blue eyed girl tells me making me grow silent as my breathing starts to hitch from her hand touching my arm.

*Beep, Beep..Beep, Beep..Beep, Beep*

Hearing the noise from Deno's watch sound indicating that our session is over everyone in the class stands up to leave the building.

Gathering her things Alison stands up to leave as well but I stop her.

"Hey" I call out making her turn in my direction. "Are we friends?" I ask her as her slightly blue lips spread across her face forming a smile.

"How could we not be friends?" Alison rhetorically asks. "You're the fire to my ice" she jokes batting her eyelashes at me. "Here, text me" she lastly says writing her number down on my palm before exiting the building too leaving me blushing.

Still grinning like a serial killer I fix my face before anyone could see me.

"See ya later Deno; sorry about today" I tell him going to meet my dad outside.

"Emily, Get back Here" my father says as we enter the warehouse but I continue to walk off.

Finally home I get the pride to go upstairs tossing Lydia's things out of my room and locking the door behind me so that she can't get in.

"What are you doing?" The red head girl questions as I walk down the stairs.

"You're evicted" I speak walking into the kitchen to eat a bowl of cereal.

Munching down on a bowl of Oops All Berries with the tiny pieces cutting the roof of my mouth I look up to see Hanna and Malia walking into the room.

They go everywhere together, even the bathroom.

"Why are you all smiley? Malia asks first while Hanna takes a spoon of my food making me smack her hand.
