"ahh, iris! it's been a while, what do you need?"

iris smiled, "i-i need a favor." she said. the other side was silent, "i need you to help me with the jack issue. things have gone sideways and everything is getting way too complicated." iris explained.

"you're still working for that jackass?— pun not intended, but honestly apatow? i thought you were better than that." sophia said, iris' cheeks turned bright red and she was very glad that sophia couldn't see it. "nah, i'm joking. what's the issue?" she asked.

iris let out an exhale, "jack's been obsessed with this girl- millie brown & he wants her.... like he wants to date her, you know?"

"mhm..." sophia said, "s-so since i've been working for him he's asked me to transfer to the school, fake date this girl named lilia... basically stalk her for him. but apparently i wasn't doing a well enough job because he showed up at the school yesterday and took matters into his own hands."

"i-i just don't know how i can be around him knowing what he's doing. but a part of me still cares for him.... still lo- uh, still wants to help him. but i feel gross on the inside for wanting to help such a sick person. i'm so angry with him, the way he's treated me even though i've been there for him for as long as i can remember. he's always just assumed i'll always do what he wants.... but now i want to show him he can't push me around and make me do his bidding." iris felt her eyes well up and a lump form
in her throat.

"oh honey, i'm so sorry about all of this. of course i'll help you. i'll text you where to meet me and we can discuss there, sound good?" sophia asked.

iris sniffled, "sounds great. thank you so much sophia."

"anytime."

*******************************

finn and millie were currently at sadie's house, sitting on the couch and watching spider man movies. millie had fallen asleep on the couch in finn's lap, she was tired from all the stress of the day.

he ran his fingers through her soft hair. he admired her beauty. his hands caressed her cheek and he felt her stir a little, turning on her side and snuggling closer to his chest. finn smiled down at her.

he softly pressed a kiss to her forehead. right as he did that, he heard the snap of a camera go off. his brown eyes looked up at sadie who had her phone out. he glared at her.

"send that to me or die." he joked. sadie cackled, typing a few things on her phone and then pressing send. finn heard a ding from his phone, and the picture of the two appeared on his screen.
