Few years ago...

Hope walked through the hallways of Salvatore Boarding School to the room she shared with her best friend. "Hey" She said as she entered the room.

"Hey" replied the witch.

"Anyone new?" Penelope asked.

"Well, theres this girl," Hope said

"Oooo a girl, this is interesting. Do we know her?" Penelope asks again.

"Yes" Hope answers.

" I haven't.."

"No" Hope replies knowing what Penelope was going to ask.

"So, go for it" Penelope says in an enthusiastic voice. "I have my next epic relationship target which is probs gonna just end like all our other ones but doesn't hurt to try again right. "

"What are you wearing to the party?" Hope asks Penelope while looking through her closet finding a t-shirt and shorts to wear. She settled with a pair of dark blue jean shorts and a white v neck t-shirt. "

"How does this look?" Penelope asks Hope as she holds up a short navy blue dress.

"If whoever you're trying to impress doesn't want you, I might steal you from them." Hope replies

looking at the gorgeous dress.

"Looking at you're outfit I might take you up on that " Penelope teased. "Come on, fun won't start til we get there." They left the room side by side to the party.

They see most of the upper class and some of the students in their grade. The woods were lighted by a bon fire in the middle of the area and torches around. Everyone was holding a red plastic cup in hand, all will likely end up with a hangover in the morning which won't be pretty. Penelope and Hope parted ways to look for other people. Hope was able to push through the crowed and grab a drink on the way to find Josie. Hope sees the siphoner talking to a few vampires near the bon fire. "Josie." Hope says and walks over. Josie is about to respond as Penelope shows up and says

"Glad you decided to come to the party after all."

Hope slightly confused about the current situation asks" Wait you asked her to come too?"

"Well I didn't know that when you said we knew her that we 'knew' her."

"Pen, can I talk to you over there?" The tribrid says as she drags her witch bestie deeper into the forest. "What are we supposed to do. We've never like I mean NEVER liked the same person let alone at the same time. Also, how long have you been trying to get Josie?"

"Well, it's not like I know what to do either. This is a weird situation and to answer your question a month maybe." Penelope replies brain still trying to figure out a solution to the problem in front of her.

"This may not be the best solution but it could work." Penelope suggests."We will both stop pursuing her. Then we won't be breaking our rule and we can't hurt Josie."

"Ok," Hope agrees,"We promise to do this whenever this situation ever occurs again. Both cut romantic ties so we can't hurt each other or the other person."

After they reached the decision they both avoided Josie during the party and just hung out with other people. Not knowing what they did would hurt Josie in ways that they couldn't have expected.

Next morning, Hope and Penelope woke up in their room cuddling each other in their sleep. Thankful that the blinds were closed and no one made noise since they both had pounding headaches. They got ready as usual and put on their uniform and went to get breakfast. One thing was different. The Saltzman twins were missing from their table. Before either of them could mention it, MG spoke," Lizzie says that you 2 invited Josie out to a party and then ghosted her. Now she's in her room crying. Josie thinks it's her fault the 2 of you don't want to talk to her anymore. " The pair looked at each other with the same worried look knowing what they did to her the night before. They decided to just bring breakfast back to their room instead of sitting with their friends and trying to explain what they did.

After that day, the tribrid and witch slowly drifted away from their group of friends and just stuck with each other causing a break with their friends and isolating themselves.
