TWO YOU'VE BEEN LYING TO US
◥✥◤
"I know you've been lying to us," Melody spoke first thing in the morning. Now, in a normal friend group, this wouldn't freak someone out so much. However, nothing chilled Lyra down to the bone more than someone finding out about her curse. This was not a burden she wanted to place on her friends at all. She couldn't do that, not to Melody and Archer. Anxiously, Lyra slammed her locker shut to face the dark-skinned girl with Archie by her side; the brave front was sliding off her face the longer Melody took to elaborate. She hoped her friend couldn't see how petrified she really was.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Lyra attempted to act nonchalant and play it off but Archie just shook his head and tsked, giving away the fact that he was also in on this.
Melody rolled her eyes, "We know you have a crush on Peter!"
Lyra sighed with relief. Something had told her it was probably just something trivial, but that hadn't stopped the fear from cascading throughout her veins. Although, this was purely fictional and she would be quick to dispel such an accusation from the girl. "Literally what gave you that idea? I've talked to him maybe twice since freshman year. Besides, isn't he still getting over that senior girl that moved away last year?"
"She's old news," Archie contributed, "You guys were flirting up a storm in math yesterday."
"Sharing homework answers is not flirting, you should know that considering Melody asks you to send her a picture of the homework answers like every night," Lyra explained with a scoff and an eyeroll. Although she was glad her friends didn't know about the curse, this didn't turn out to be all that much better. Denying a crush she didn't even have would be harder than it looked considering Melody had been practically forcing Lyra to fall in love with someone ever since they started high school. However, when you have a death sentence hanging over your head, there's not really much time for romance. Maybe it was best she never does. After all, if she ends the bloodline, she ends the curse. Simple solution for a complicated problem.
Melody brushed off Lyra's comment, "That's different, he's smart he didn't need to check answers with you, but he still asked you anyway. That's like nerd flirting one-oh-one."
"You are ridiculous. I don't have a crush on Peter and we're not going to do this anymore, okay? Please?" Lyra pleaded, throwing a pout her best friend's way to rack up some pity points. "I'm exhausted and trust me, romance is the last thing on my mind. I have way too much going on right now."
"Speaking of things going on, what are we doing for your birthday?" Archie asked and Lyra froze. She tried to play it off, but her frigidness was clear once Archie raised his eyebrows at her. "What's up? Is something going on with your birthday?"
