Autumn Angel | JHS ✔

.thirty-five.

"Autumn, you little devil." 

I nearly cry tears of joy when I finally hear Aria's voice. "Aria, I miss you so much, Dude." 

Aria laughs over the line. "I miss you too, Autumn. How have you been?" 

I tilt my head and slide down the mirror-wall, done with another exhausting day of work. I was starting to dread going to work more and more everyday. Even though it had been a couple of weeks since the release of publicity regarding my relationship with Hoseok, the students still acted differently, and I had a feeling nothing would ever quite be the same. "Do you not know? Not to brag or anything, but I was a hot topic in the world of gossip for a few seconds." 

"What? What happened? Sorry, Autumn. My manager and I have both agreed that because a growing fanbase also comes with more haters, it's best if I stay away from the pop culture articles." 

I roll my eyes but can't help the smile that grows. "Look at you becoming all famous and successful." 

"I know," Aria gushes. "It's so crazy how much life has changed in such little time." You can say that again. "But seriously, what happened? What did I miss?" 

I rub my ear, unsure of how she would take this news. "Remember when I told you that the idol we met at that talk show has become a good friend of mine?" 

"What, are you guys dating now? Honestly, not even surprised. Should I act amazed and give a good reaction?" 

I laugh out loud. "No, that reaction was just fine. But yeah, I'm dating Hoseok and the entire world knows. I gained a couple thousand on social media so watch your back, Aria. Autumn Lee is coming for you." 

"No way, Dude. We can be those best friends that go on talk shows and talk about childhood stories and tell the world about how we grew famous together wouldn'tthatbesoadorable?" Aria's speed in her talking continues to quicken as the sentence goes on and by the end, I can barely make out what she says. 

I continue laughing at her excitement. "It would be adorable," I agree. I rub my ear. 

Should I open up about my struggles with the invasion of privacy? Considering how she was going through a similar process of her own, it wasn't a bad idea. But as Aria continues to speak in multiple octaves higher while talking about our futures together as celebrities, I have a desire to not bring up such a depressing topic. It would be something that I could bring up another time. 

"So how is he? How's the relationship? How's the sex?" 

"Dude!" I can't help the shocked reaction from such a straightforward question. I'm only met with mischievous giggles. "He's...amazing. I'm so glad he came into my life and I seriously don't know if I would be able to live without him. He's so supportive and I'm grateful both of us have interests in such similar things. Sometimes I wonder if we're literally the same person. As for the sex, that's something that is yet to come. Although him being a really passionate kisser is a bit of a spoiler." 

Aria laughs, absolutely high and giddy from this new information. "I swear if I don't get a famous boyfriend soon, I'm going to be so sad." 

I grin. "You are so materialistic." Although both her and I know that she is possibly one of the biggest minimalists on this planet. 

"I miss you so much, Autumn, it physically hurts. Please come visit soon." 

"Idiot. The one with more money is supposed to be the one that visits." 

"Just steal your boyfriend's money," she giggles. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you turned into a gold digger for one trip." 

"Aria!"
