"Camilla!" Celine and Lucy groaned from their places on my bed.
"You couldn't be slower if you tried." Athena complained.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I said, touching up my highlighter.
"You said that ten minutes ago." Taiye pointed out.
"I'm almost done." I informed, putting on a black lace choker.
"Ugh!" All nine girls groaned.
"Don't rush me!" I yelled, brushing my hands against my navy blue school skirt.
"Here." Camryn said, tossing my sweater at me as I adjusted my tie.
"Okay...I think I'm done." I said.
"Finally!" Lory yelled, throwing her hands up in the air.
"Hey! It's not my fault I woke up late." I mumbled.
"If you don't get your ass downstairs and into Taiye's car in the next four seconds, I will kill you." Brianna threatened, shoving an apple and a cup of yogurt into my hands.
We all climbed into Taiye's dad's 2019 Honda Passport since her Porsche mission E couldn't fit all ten of us.
"What are you doing?" I asked when I noticed Taiye pulling out some documents as well as her driver's license before placing them on the dashboard.
"Hm? Oh nothing. I'm just placing all my papers here so if I get pulled over, I won't have to reach for anything." She said it so casually like she did it every single day.
Awkward silence.
"Are you guys for real right now?" Taiye asked, laughing out loud. "I'm fine. It's just a couple racist cops. Nothing I haven't dealt with before."
"I just feel so bad when you talk like that." Lory mumbled.
"Ugh. It's fine, really... Bri, how're things with your mum?" Taiye changed the subject.
"She's being such a bitch. She actually threatened to disown me if I refuse to go for conversion. Like, I'm fucking Pansexul, get over it!" Brianna yelled, throwing her hands in the air.
"Right?! Mum kept asking Noah if he had any single friends on the basketball team for Athy when he came over yesterday for lunch." Hera said.
"She thinks I'm going through a phase. Like, bitch I've been asexual for as long as I can remember. No beefy basketball player is going to change that."
"Speaking of Noah, I thought you said he's cheating on you." Lucy brought up.
"Oh, he is. I caught him last night." Aphrodite said with a huge grin.
"I was expecting more throwing of torches but I guess this works too." Camryn commented.
"Hold on. Read his texts." Aphrodite said, handing me her phone and all the girls huddled around it.
"Read it out loud!" Taiye demanded.
"'Hey baby...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to...please don't be upset...I love you (we gagged simultaneously.)...it was an accident, I swear...don't be mad...you know she meant nothing to me...please, baby...I love you so much...blah blah blah'." I read.
