‎Iara didn't realize she was crying, silent tears were slowly running down her cheeks, her shoulders are trembling as she tries to hold all the feelings down, she hates crying in front of other people, she begins to fall in a downward spiral when she feels a little kiss in her shoulder and Lily looks sadder than Iara, she begins to say very quickly almost like Iara is a baby that just fell
.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎No!! Little baby don't cry! I mean cry if you want but you're a little baby it's fine and yo–" This time, Iara is the one that pushes Lily's face, she laughs while maintaining the distance between the two of them, she doesn't like being treated like this, but she finds it funny when Lily does it.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Shut up, I'm fine, and never call me little baby again. Now, we need to study, get up, c'mon." Lily still seems sad, she wants to find a way to help, so for the first time in her life she doesn't complain about studying, just follows Iara as they both leave the bed.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Iara may look, sound and pretend she doesn't care about anything, but she is really focused on her grades. Before getting into St Damian she didn't study that much, being happy with passing grades, but after getting into one of the best schools because someone felt pity, she needs to be the best student in the whole school. Studying together is the actual reason they're together right now, unfortunately for Iara she got distracted. As they both, fully clothed and showered, sit in the bed with all the books they need, Iara begins to talk about one of the books they need to read before the end of the week, Iara begins talking about a book while Lily hangs upside down the bed not really paying attention to what the Iara is  saying and just thinking about the new information she got and how she can help her best and only friend.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"So basically, I don't believe he actually became a monster or something, and is much more figuratively, the actual transformation was the sister, that had to mature quickly because of the situation of the brother, not only that but all of the family has to change and adapt, and I think that brings the point that like, he was a person that was going through something, maybe mentally, but we could believe he is a unreliable narrator, so he kinda heard it, but didn't hear enough, or something like that, do you think this is enough to make a full page of discussion about it? But since we are in a religious school I should probably think about..." Iara finally looks at Lily.  "You're paying attention right?"

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Lily, who was not paying attention, blinked twice and looked at Iara. She smiled and closed her eyes trying to remember what her friend just said. She sighs and decides to just be honest. "I was distracted looking at how hot you are, can you repeat it?" She wasn't completely honest, and Iara doesn't like when people play with their education. She holds the book they need to make a full analysis in her hands.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Lily, we need to study, you can't just keep playing around and like..." Lily begins to take out her phone and as she was beginning to look at it Iara grabs it from her hands in a quick motion, Lily looks betrayed and Iara gets even angrier, saying it with more purpose this time "Stop it, we are focusing and not using our phones, you invited me bitch, let's actually learn some shit."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Lily begins to move closer and as they fight for the phone, Lily doesn't have the strength but has the motivation, after two minutes yelling and fighting each other Lily finally gets her phone back because she elbowed Iara on the boob. As one of them finds the unfortunate news that both of them got exiled from the social part of school and the other one lays down dramatically with her hand on her chest.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Fuck you... I should've taken a piece off your tit." Lily doesn't immediately answer as she is reading the notice of their death on Instagram, she drops her phone and looks up, making Iara scoff and murmur "dramatic huh?" while she thinks Lily is being dramatic she still comes closer reading the Instagram post about the "expulsion of Lily Taylor and Iara Gloser" the first thing she thinks is that she probably has a better picture somewhere, she scrolls down a little reading the rest of the rules with one eyebrow up, finishing it she shakes her head laughing and puts the phone down looking at Lily's eyes.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"You don't actually believe they are gonna do that right? We are not in middle school."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"They are absolutely gonna ignore us, they do everything the popular ones tell them to do. They are like hot shepards and everyone in school is a little sheep bitch" Iara's smile slowly turns to a frown when she sees how worried Lily looks.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Are you telling me, the whole three thousand or something students are gonna stop talking to us because five people told them to?" When Lily nods the immediate reaction from Iara is to roll her eyes. She expected that the people in high school were going to be a little more mature. "Fine. If that's what that Annastacya bitch wants she's gonna get it."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"It's Anastacia, actually." 

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎      ‎ ‎"I don't give a fuck! she doesn't deserve to have her name said right. Look, here's what we are gonna do to that little Regina George wannabe."

The next day comes and for the first time Iara doesn't mind all the whispers and stares they get when they walk around the halls, this time she knows there is no danger of her life getting exposed, they are just talking about a stupid little punishment.The first class is a blast, Iara is free of people, there's no football player making a joke about her hair, there's no girl complaining she is sitting in "her spot'' there's just peace. When the teacher gets in the class she is the first to give her greeting, she is so happy.

Anastacia cannot understand anything, how are they... fine, granted the Lily girl seems worried and sad, but the one she really wanted to hit is completely unaffected, she looks even happier, which makes Anastacia even angrier. They spent the whole day without talking to anybody, but Iara somehow lost her pen, she asks for one from Lily who says "I don't even bring one dude'' finally Anastacia can smile, she sees as the girl gets more puzzled since she can't talk to anybody, when Ana was about to relax, Iara gets up walking slowly towards the Trio of Anastacia, Carol and Josh, when she is close enough she says.

"I'm gonna borrow this." She holds up Anastacia's pen, one of the eight she has, and smiles looking at her.  "I'm gonna give it back when the class ends." Anastacia's face falls faster than her brain can comprehend. She opens her mouth and the smile on Iara's face gets even bigger as she says.

"Got something to say about it?"  When she is met with silence from the three, she turns around putting the pen in her mouth.  "That's what I thought."  She goes back to her chair apologizing to Mr. Anders saying she was talking to a friend.

 Everybody can see how red Anastacia does not like to be challenged and she hates being bested. She doesn't even pay attention to what the teacher is saying and is just staring at the tattooed girl with her pen in her mouth. Thinking to herself. It doesn't matter that she has pretty lips, and the way her tongue moves is kind of... wait what am I thinking? yeah ok, it doesn't matter she is still an arrogant asshole. ‎ ‎

"I mean... at least you got your pen back girl... that's good right?" Carol tries to comfort her friend that didn't stop staring at the Scissors Duo as Carol would call them. They are sitting at their table today, why is it their table? Because it's the closest to the cafeteria, with open windows, and has the perfect distance from the bathroom, not so close but not so far. This time it's only the Trio because the football players are going to be doing tryouts. It's finally lunch time so she can complain freely without worrying about the teacher feeling bad.

"I should not have it back, they should be sad, crying, how are they fine? Literally everyone is ignoring them. Why are they living... like normal, she didn't even ask she just fucking took it. Look at my pen."  She is still holding the stolen pen in her hands and she shows the amount of bite marks to the two friends." I was being nice and she... oh god..."  

She passes her hands through her hair trying to maintain herself calm so she doesn't punch anybody in the face. She feels as Josh rubs her back trying to be nice, but she can only feel worse when he asks.

"I don't get it, why did you want her to sit with us? You hate when we have to sit with anybody, including my friends from the team, which I ditched to be here" She doesn't look at Josh, she actually doesn't know the answer to that question, she just felt something towards Iara, she can't explain what she felt. But now she only feels hate. Anastacia bites her bottom lip and sighs looking up.

"Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend, I wasted my time with her so the reason is not necessary but the consequences are needed."  Anastacia feels even more anger when Iara and Lily cut in line and when one boy goes to complain she simply asks "Are you talking to me?'' and he looks at the table of the Trio and lets them do as they please Josh thinks a little and while he eats a bite of his pizza before saying.

"Makes sense to me, but like, isn't this the biggest thing we can do without getting the attention of the teachers?"  Anastacia and Carol stop at the same time thinking how can they destroy their lives without getting in trouble, the school actually cares a lot about the students and Anastacia can't possibly be caught in a bullying situation. Carol is the first one to say.

"We could... flatten their tires? Like that's a headache and they would have to call an uber or something"

"The school has cameras in the parking lot, and like they change tires and that's it, no?"  Josh responds, and when Anastacia finally has an idea, she sees Iara and Lily slowly walking to their table,

Iara looks comfortable, holds her head high and ignores as the whole cafeteria follows them with their eyes. She didn't buy anything, she only has a little tupperware in hands. Lily looks stressed, she is avoiding eye contact and following her friend with a worried look. Anastacia wishes she was seeing things, but reality sinks in when they both sit at their table. Iara smiling like she just won the lottery, she opens her tupperware revealing a bunch of brownies. Everybody in school is currently looking at them,some expecting a fight, others just curious but most waiting for the reaction of the Trio.
