Solving the drugs kerfuffle was surprisingly easy, people always believe the ones at the top of the food chain, all Anastasia had to do was make a post on social media about how Iara made a mistake and what she actually saw was her red eyes from crying because that was her first time seeing Adam after the break up. She makes a point to say that she feels bad that Ciara is making up lies based assumptions, and just like that everybody is on her side and even more against Iara, the only bad part about that plan was that Adam felt bad and she had to assure him that she is fine.

"How about we cut her uniform and she has to walk around like that?" Carol suggests while eating one slice of pizza in her bed. The Trio is having one of the "hang out" nights, which basically means they go to either Carol's or Josh's house, eat junk food and watch bad movies, but this time they are trying to brainstorm something to do against Iara, Josh in sitting against the wall with arms crossed, he shakes his head no and says.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"If she has proof, she could just say someone else did it and the school would give her a new one... and do we really wanna make her walk around with less clothes? Have you seen her at parties?" Anastacia throws a pillow on his face, she does not want that image on her mind, as Josh complains that she almost made him drop his food.  The cheerleader walks forwards, turning to her friends showing them the last picture on Iara's Instagram.

"Guys, all we need is to find a way to know her past, there's nothing worse than public humiliation." Carol points at Anastacia, saying with a smile.

"I think world hunger is worse"  Josh agrees with his head while adding to Carol's words.

"War is also pretty bad"  Anastacia rolls her eyes when she sits down again trying not to sound too annoyed, she says.

"C'mon guys, let's take this seriously, please? She made the whole school think I do drugs..."

Carol is almost telling another joke when she sees that Anastacia seems close to tears, the brazilian moves in the bed looking at the phone on the cheerleader's hand. For the first time since they got together she actually thinks about what Ana is saying, after a moment of silence Carol says as she gesticulates.

"Trying to learn her secrets is nice, but how are we gonna do that? Nobody in school talks to them and Lily won't talk to us..."

Anastacia rubs her eyes and lays down in the bed letting Carol grab her phone. She loved confrontation, but not like this. Josh shows his phone on the school planner and says.

"We have art class tomorrow, the teacher loves to do group projects, all we have to do is guarantee that one of us is sitting side by side with them, and hope the teacher chooses us with them, that way we have an excuse to go to Iara's house."  Anastacia immediately gets up with a smile, sometimes her friends are actually smart, she could actually kiss Josh right now. Her happiness fades as she remembers kissing and her head makes her see Iara's face, she lays down again focusing on this new plan trying not to think about the tattooed girl.

After deciding that they need to find a way to separate the two girls tomorrow, the Trio spends their time watching five episodes of Gossip Girl because Carol really wanted them to watch it.

The next morning Iara and Lily are talking about the next party they are going to go to, Iara is saying she won't go and Lily is trying to make her show up, when they stop in front of their class. All the front seats are occupied, the only vacant ones are side by side with the Trio. Iara does not mind she just wants to study so she sits down in one of them having Anastacia as her neighbor, a reluctant Lily follows her friend sitting next to her having Carol as her neighbor. Lily clears her throat and says with a smile.

"Iara... maybe I'm wrong... but aren't there a lot of people sitting here today?"  Iara looks around, pretending that she hadn't noticed the people around her, she shrugs and answers casually.

"Maybe they want to be our friends, you know, jealousy is the biggest form of admiration" Lily laughs as she answers

"Drake did say jealousy is just love and hatred combined" Anastacia rolls her eyes with their comments and she is very thankful when Mrs Diaz comes in because she won't have to be listening to two idiots for longer.

Time moves way faster for Anastacia than it does for everyone else, for her it feels like she just sat down and Mr Wallace is already in class getting ready to talk about the group project he is going to make everyone do, her palms are a little sweaty as she holds her pen biting it with her mouth. Mr Wallace stands in front of the whole class with a smile as he begins to say.

"It has come to my attention that you guys are thinking I'm predictable and only do group projects." Everybody thinks that because he has done group projects every week for a full year. "So I will change it up today, you guys need to be in pairs with the people sitting next to you."

Anastacia sees as Iara counts the chairs and realizes she is going to have to work with her. The cheerleader almost laughs with the way Ciara's posture falls and she starts to move her chair. Iara and Lily spend two minutes saying goodbye, Lily almost crying when she moves her chair closer to Carol. After that Anastacia and Iara are sitting side by side, using one table and Anastacia is already regretting this little plan.The teacher passes one page with ten paintings of different artists, after everyone has one he once again says.

"You guys are going to make a representation using your body in one of these paintings. You can dance, sing, act, paint your body, be creative and transformative. You have one week."

Her body? What kind of teacher says we need to use our bodies with each other?.

Anastacia thinks to herself, but her body language doesn't show it, she maintains her composure until looking at the amount of disgust on Iara's face, she would rather do this project with anyone but the cheerleader, before she can even think Anastacia is already saying.

"What is that face? You should be thankful to be doing anything with me."  Iara rolls her eyes as she takes the paper from Anastacia's hand. She says without looking at the girl sitting in front of her, which she finds absurd.

"What's the face I should make when I learn I'm gonna have to work with a cockroach" Anastacia's mouth opens with the audacity coming from the girl in front of her.

"Did you come up with that one while crying in the bathroom thinking about me?" the cheerleader says, Iara did think about that one while crying in the shower but there's no reason to tell her that, looking at the paintings she says with a smile.

"Stop flirting with me, how bout we do The Scream?"

It's Anastacia's turn to show immense disgust, Iara shifts uncomfortably in her chair,  she had forgotten that Anastacia is homophobic and now they're both uncomfortable. Anastacia is not thinking about any of that, she is disgusted at herself for looking like she was flirting, after a second of hell for the two girls, Anastacia says.

"Fine, let's do The Scream, and you better not sabotage me." Iara lets out a sarcastic laugh before answering.

"Don't worry, I wanna get an A just as much as you, even if it means I will have to be around people I dislike, which is most of the school by the way." Iara is being completely honest, she hates everyone but there's not a doubt in her mind she is going to get straight A's this whole year, she does her best not to stare but she studies the way Anastacia moves, she is really ugly on the inside but everything about her on the outside is beautiful, the way Iara could lose herself inside those gentle yet burning eyes, the way her hair moves like waves in a peaceful sea, and her soft lips are open while she thinks.

"Maybe with my help you can actually get an A, just don't get in my way."  Iara already doesn't see her as pretty, she opened her mouth and ruined everything in less than one sentence.

"Fine princess, what should we do? I won't let you paint my face."  She opens her notebook and begins writing exactly what they are doing. She feels Anastacia's gaze on her but when she looks up the girl looks away and says.

"When Hell freezes over you will be able to touch my face." She lets out a groan of disdain. "We could sing, I have six years of choir!"

Iara laughs and looks up, meeting Anastacia's eyes. "Could you be more of a stereotype? And no, I don't sing, I do dance though" She has already crossed over two of the options and she really hates the idea of acting the painting.

"I'm not a stereotype, you are, and I'm fine with dancing too. Let's meet up today at your house." Anastacia feels a sense of pride as she manages to make conversation and get her plan to work, since there's no way they are going to do this at her house.

They spend the next thirty five minutes arguing in which house they should go, at the end of the class Anastacia is out of breath, her hair is a mess, but victorious while Iara is deflated, annoyed and defeated.

"Text me your address."  Anastacia says while she leaves a very sad Iara behind, Lily is coming closer to her friend with the same disappointed face, they sit in silence for a small moment until Lily says.

"So... the popular girl fucked me and it wasn't in a good way..."

"The cheerleader fucked me..."

Iara didn't really pay attention to the rest of the classes, she is just thinking about Anastacia in her house and how awful that is going to be, she is thankful that everyone in school is still avoiding her like she is suddenly going to attack everyone because if they didn't they would how worried she is. Lily is in a  different boat, she is depressed because Carol demanded they meet at her house, so now Lily is scared that she's going to die in the hands of the brazilian.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"Goddamn! You were having a party and didn't invite me?" Lily says while opening Iara's fridge revealing a lot of alcohol and one bottle of water, Iara invited Lily to help make her house presentable. She finishes washing the dishes, yawning as she walks to the living room closing the fridge door with her foot.

"Yes, now could you stop snooping through my stuff and help me?" Lily pretends to be offended as she follows Iara picking up some of the clothes that were scattered around the floor and furniture.

Lily is about to ask if they need to clean the bedrooms when she looks at her friend laying down on the sofa, head down without moving, Lily puts all the dirty clothes on the floor in a big pile under the wooden table sitting on the sofa. Iara feels the weight and looks up, finding a worried look in Lily's face as she says.

"Are you sad because you're gonna have to twerk on Anastacia?" Iara's laugh is muffled by the fabric of the coach, being around Lily always makes her a little more happy.

"No, I'm sad because I'm gonna have to be normal around her, like, I can't make her mad when we have an assignment together... and she's annoying." She begins to get up rubbing her face with her hand, she's already tired from the conversation they had earlier that day. "It's like she's sucks all my happiness and energy and makes me only feel hate."

"Wouldn't mind having her suck me"  Lily says, making Iara groan as she gets up shaking her head, when she turns around Lily is still smiling, proud of what she said.

 "You're unbelievable, you know that right?"  Iara feels herself relaxing a little, even though she sounds exasperated she has fun around Lily, right before the other girl can make another sexual remark they hear someone knocking at the door, they both exchange a worried look and Iara is the first one to reach the door looking in the peephole.

Iara sees Anastacia waiting outside her door, she is wearing a cheerleading uniform. It's almost a light dress with a combination of red and white, she is using her phone with a indifferent look on her face, she only looks up when she hears a faint "fuck" from the other side, a smile sets itself on her face while she says.

"Iara? I can hear you, let me in please." She hears another small "fuck" followed by the door opening and Anastacia can't hide her disappointment in seeing Lily behind Iara, the smaller girl waves at the cheerleader who ignores her looking at Iara while saying.

"Is she here because you are too scared to do anything alone?" Iara opens her mouth to throw an insult back at Anastacia but Lily is faster saying in an uncomfortable tone.

"Don't worry! I'm leaving! Bye lovelies, take care!"  She almost runs to her car giving a thumbs up to Iara when she is already inside it. Iara sighs moving out of the doorframe letting Anastacia go inside, she closes the door behind her while Anastacia looks around analyzing every single detail she can find, like how all the pictures frames are down, there's a pile of clothes under a table, the only car parked on the street was Lily's the two bedrooms doors are closed and Iara hates that she's here. With all that information Anastacia came to two conclusions.

The first one is that even Iara has something to hide, maybe her parents don't know that she is not straight or that she is having trouble in school, and Anastacia needs to find what is the secret hidden in this house and how she can use it against the tattooed girl.

The second one is that they are alone in this house. Anastacia doesn't really know what to think about that but she feels a little more intimidated, she clears her throat as she sits on the end of the couch ready to get up and leave at any moment.
