Gigi's pov

March 16th
-

I walk to the outside eating area to meet the girls for lunch. Jaida waves me over to their table.

"Did you hear what Violet was saying about Crystal!" Jan whisper yells as I sit down.

"Of course she heard, she was just with them." Jaida says.

"I can't see Crystal doing that though, she's not that type of person." Jan says frowning.

"She probably didn't even know who he was, it's not like he goes to our school." I say.

"So you really think she tried to get with him?" Jaida says looking surprised.

"I mean I don't know maybe? It's not like we know her that well." I say.

"Who are we talking about?" Violet interrupts sitting down next to me.

"What do you want Violet?" Jaida says rolling her eyes.

"I figured since that little freak isn't here we could all sit and have a chat." Violet responds.

"About what?" Jan asks confused.

"I just want to make sure you keep her under control. I'm tired of her honestly and if her or her friend tries something again it's not going to be pretty." Violet says seriously.

"Sure thing V." I say smiling hoping she'll walk away. She smiles back patting me on the shoulder before she gets up and joins Aquaria by the door.

"What did she mean Crystal's friend?" Jan asks.

"Daya, from the cafe." I say.

"Girl who the fuck?" Jaida asks. "When did you and Crystal go to a cafe?"

"We didn't, I went with Violet and them and Crystal and Daya just happened to be there." I say nonchalantly.

"Is that why you guys have been acting weird towards each other?" Jan asks.

"Yeah, Violet and Aquaria were saying some stuff about them and they got into a little bit of a fight."

"A little bit?" Jaida pushes.

"I mean I don't know all I really remember is that the daya girl said Violet looked like a sex doll." I say. Jan chokes on her water trying not to laugh.

"Wow, I have got to meet this daya chic." Jaida laughs.

"But I think Crystal and I are good now so it's fine." I smile. "Where is she anyway?"

"No clue, I texted her earlier she's probably just sick or something." Jaida responds.

Gigi: hey, is everything okay?

Crystal: yeah, I just slept over my friends and didn't feel like going to school.

Gigi: oh you're with daya?

Crystal: yup.

Gigi: cool

Gigi: um, do you want to maybe hangout tonight? I'd like to sit down and talk with you.

Crystal: I guess?

Gigi: I'll pick you up at 7?

Crystal: okay

Gigi: talk to you later :)

...

I changed into a summer dress and a pair of chunky heels. I fixed my hair and headed out to my car. I think I was a little more excited than I needed to be. When I pulled into Crystal's driveway I sent her a text and checked my makeup again. A minute later she stepped out the front door wearing ripped jeans, a white tank top, and a red leather jacket with stars on it. All of her necklaces rattle against each other as she gets into the passenger seat.

"Hi." She says buckling up.

"Hey. I was thinking we could get dinner, it's on me of course." I say.

"What like a date?" She laughs.

"Totally." I say sarcastically. I feel my cheeks get warm and laugh along with her as I pull out of the driveway. She flips through radio stations as I drive finally stopping on a song by COIN.

"Do you like them?" She asks casually nodding her head to the song.

"I love them." I smile. She reaches over to turn it up. For the rest of the drive she stares out the window occasionally mouthing along to the radio.

We get inside and order our drinks and an appetizer. Crystal quickly texts someone and places her phone down on the table.

"So what did you want to talk about?" She asks playing with her fork.

"I wanted to say sorry for not finishing our conversation at the party, and I'm sorry you didn't have a good time." I say.

"Do you always apologize this much?" She asks.

"Not normally." I smile. She smiles too but it fades almost immediately.

"Why do you hangout with them?" She asks finally looking up at me.

"They're my friends." I say defensively.

"Really? Cause it doesn't seem like it." She sighs.

"They're nice once you get to know them." I say. She looks at me like I'm crazy the goes back to messing with her fork. We sit in silence for a few seconds, and the waiter comes over with our drinks.

"Thank you." Crystal smiles at him. I watch her as she takes a sip of her drink, she doesn't notice because she's too focused watching other people in the diner. It's like she's in her own world and only snaps out of it when the waiter comes back with our appetizer.

"Adore and Naomi are nice once you get to know them." I say hoping to restart the conversation.

"Hm."

"Adore is really amazing actually, she was the one sticking up for you at the cafe. And Naomi is just kinda there to have fun she doesn't really join in on the gossip. It's only Aquaria and Violet you should worry about they're the bitches actually." I rant trying to explain.

"And what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Are you one of the bitches I need to be worried about?" She asks seriously.

"I hope not but, I think that's something you'll have to decide." I say with a laugh.

"I'll get back to you on that." She smiles. I smile too hoping I won't fuck up again. We eat our food and chat about random things. Crystal gives me the full rundown on how she managed to get kicked out of her old school and I tell her about the last time someone crossed Violet.

...

"I can't believe you didn't get caught that time." I laugh putting the car in park.

"Yeah it was insane." Crystal says ending another story about her time at the catholic school.

"I had fun tonight." I say.

"Me too." Crystal smiles opening the door.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow?"

"Of course" she says stepping out of the car. "Oh and by the way that dress looks amazing on you." She smirks quickly closing the door and skipping up to her porch. She mouths the words call me while holding up her hand like a phone before disappearing into her house. I laugh to myself as I drive home.
