The long, wooden table was filled with food, laughter and shouting.
Bon-Bon and Lyra were helping setting the table, while Vinyl was... Well... 'playing with Flash' (More like acting like a molester, give him a break Vy)
Octavia sighs. "I can't believe we are doing this... Seriously, How can he be so calm? Vy is three seconds from pouncing on him." She groans. "You better not be trying anything on him, Vinyl!"
"Sí Ma!" Her voice said from the other room along with a cry for help from Flash.
Octy twitches from anger while a laugh along with a smile escapes my lips.
"Sheesh, Can't they act like normal people for one day? It sure is noisy." She crosses her arms.
"I guess, though... Is better this way." I smile. "It's lively now."
The charcoal haired girl looks taken back but then smiles softly. "Y-Yeah."
"Alsoooo-" I smirk. "I invited Tick to come here! Neat, right?"
A blush that could make red look like yellow appeared on her cheeks. "O-Of course, you know what t-they say, 'T-he m-more the m-merrier.'" She was sweating.
I rest my head on my hands.
It's good to be around people that love you and you love back.
"We're here."
I unbuckle my seat-belt and open the door.
I step outside. A ray of sun falls on my eyes and I try to not lose my sight. I feel someone putting a pair of sunglasses on my face.
"Here." I put them on my eyes. Flash was looking at me, smiling. "God, sometimes I feel like I'm your dad instead of the mad scientist named Aqua Doo, the scientist with the most girly name I have ever heard."
I laugh. "Yeah." I tug his black leather jacket. "C'mon, weren't you going to make sure I wasn't left alone today? It's almost time to go to class." I drag him by holding his arm.
"The things I do for you gals." He paused for a moment before continuing. "I told you to take a break from school, and you insist on going despite your wound being still open and fresh." He said, trying to make me stop but failing.
"I'm going to ask principal Celestia if I can deliver my project with Lyra or Bon-Bon and take all the exams on weekends like you do." I say, opening the front doors.
"I don't know if she will let you do it by your own. She called my parents for permission before coming to that agreement."
"That's easy..." I stop and smile innocently. "I'll give them your number and voila!"
"I don't think they are that dumb..." He said glaring.
I get out of the Principal's office.
Flash was resting his back against the wall. For some reason he looked uncomfortable. "So? I told you they wouldn't buy that cra-"
I show him a paper. "They agreed! " I give him the paper. "I'm officially excused from going to school for the rest of the first semester."
He was reading the paper almost in disbelief. "What the hell? And they are in charge of a school?"
I hold his hand and raise it. "Huzzzah!" I glance over toward him. "How are you feeling?"
"Scared of our generation and our security." He said, a sweat drop on his temple. He kept looking back.
"Is there something wrong?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
He leans closer and whispers. "Lyra has a car right?"
"Y-Yeah, well.. A yaris but.."
"Call her and stay at her house or yours. Something just..." He keeps looking straight. "Came up and i'll have to take care of it pronto."
"Umm, Okay but..." I glance at him. "Is everything.. Fine?"
"Yeah, yeah, splendid.." He steps back. "Sorry i'm leaving you so soon."
"No, n. I'ts okay." I shake my hands. "If i'm not mistaken Lyra is free now." I kiss Flash on the cheek, and mess his hair. "See ya." Then I walk off.
That was... strange. Well, he usually is strange, but this is new. Maybe a girl called to meet him and have....
I sigh.
I should've known. It's annoying to be friends with a guy who has one night stands from time to time.
"Thanks for giving me a ride Ly."
The mint haired girl smiles. "No prob Derpy, also-"
Right now we are on our way to her house. Thanksgiving was in three days and you could already see everyone with Christmas decorations on the back of their cars. My mind was still hazy from the events of yesterday. The girls sure knew how to make someone not sleep for 24 hours straight.
"Derpy?"
I snap from my thoughts. "Oh sorry Lyra." I scratch the back of my head.
She shakes her head. "Nah, it's okay." She then looks at the radio. "Oh my gosh! Derpy, Razzle Dazzle is up next!" She raises the volume. "Ready?"
I'm not a huge fan of pop music, but the look on her face, is one of those faces that says 'Say no and i'll cry a river and make you feel like you sinned.' "Uhh... Sure!" I smile nervously.
Then the only thing that could be heard was the voice of Lyra's singing-screamo voice and my Cariana Grande voice helping her sing louder. Some people were screaming for her to stop but...
We didn't listen.
I was lying down on her couch, using a pair of short shorts and strap shirt she let me borrow. She comes with a bowl filled with doritos, popcorn, chocolate and cheetos in one hand and a box with disks (probably anime since is the only thing she sees) on the other. Then she sits next to me.
"Food!" I take the bowl from her hands.
"Sometimes I only think you love food more than me." She pouts.
"Ly.." I hug her. "You know I love you too. But food is better."
She puts her right hand on her right side. "That hurt me, You are a very cruel person Oh Derpy!"
I laugh. "Yeah. Also, put the series already." I let her go and she stands up and puts the disk on the blue-ray. She then sits next to me again.
After three or four episodes she speaks. "I think i'm ready."
"Fo waht?" I say with my mouth full of popcorn and chocolate. I swallow.
"I'm going to tell Bon Bon how I feel about her?" She hugs herself. "I can't stand being only friends with her... It hurts." A tear falls from her eye. "I know that mom and dad will probably disown me because of this but..." She looks at me and holds my hand. "You were brave enough to tell Doc how you felt even if you knew that it would be impossible for him to accept you." She smiles sadly. "Vinyl, Octavia, Flash and you are always so brave, fearless, determined. You all never have to prove yourselves that you are amazing because everyone just likes you when they meet you. Bon is so brave and strong." She laughs solemnly. "I am afraid of telling anyone of my obsession with anime and novels, scared of them thinking i'm a freak. Some even get annoyed of me because i'm always energetic or because i'm 'Too happy' for them. I sometimes wish I could be like you instead of being an emotional wreck. I have the most amazing parents any kid would wish but... I don't feel like i'm good enough to be called their daughter." She then starts crying. "How can I be called a good daughter when i'm lying to everyone? Bon-bon, my parents, you guys.. I admit it.. I'm jealous of your relationship with Vinyl and Flash, I'm jealous of Octavia's perfect silky hair, how Flash speaks his mind without any fear or how heart fully kind you are... I'm so sorry-"
I put my arms around her, embracing her into a hug. I pat her hair. "There,there. There's no need for you to feel like that. You're so amazing. The devotion you have for music and anthropology is quite fascinating. Heck, I wish I had your super positive way of view for a second. And all of us love you.. Even Octy can't be mad at you for a minute because you're too cute. Also, Bon-bon is too dense to have noticed your heart eyes around her. Your parents will never disown you. You're the light of their eyes and the light of their day, They will be shocked as hell at first, but then, they will accept you. Just like we did. So-" I beamed at her. "Smile and be as Lyra as you can."
She looks at me and then cries more. I sigh. I have forgotten she was a sucker for emotional talks. I just let her cry on my shirt.
After an hour she stops. "I'm sorry. You're the one with the heartache and i'm not helping you heal at all."
I chuckle. "Don't sweat it. I feel better helping you than weeping like a wet mop." I say, earning a blush from her. "I should stop letting Flash hang out with you. He is turning you into a pervert minded girl."
"I-I didn't think anything!" She said as we heard a knock on the door.
A woman with light green hair adorned with white streaks opens the door. She was wearing a light pink dress and her hair was combed in a bun. "Oh my. You didn't tell me you were having one of your friends over. I should have brought more food for today's dinner."
"Mom, that won't be necessary," Lyra says, trying to reason with her mother but fails.
"No! I can't forgive myself for this. Sweety-" She looks over to me. "Do you like smashed potatoes and chicken breasts?"
"Uhh yeah. Though smashed potatoes taste better with bacon. But you don't-"
She interrupts me. "Then bacon, smashed potatoes and chicken breast it is!" She raises her fist. "I will definitely make a dinner worthy of my little sunshine's friend's taste buds. Or my name is not Star Heartstrings! hahaha!" She laughs, looking like an anime character and leaves.
"Sooo?"
Lyra sighs. "Mom was an actor before retiring. She was always the antagonist." She then stands up. "Let's prepare for dinner. Apparently Mom has gone Actress Commando again."
I laugh nervously.
What have I gotten myself into?
