god she hated this, elira didn’t even like her brother and for the sorority that she was pledging to put her in this situation was distressing to say the least. still she had let them dress her up in a tight little dress and send her over to the party her brother’s fraternity was throwing. her whole purpose was to seduce him, and bring back proof and after that she was in the sorority. all it would take was one incredibly shameful and humiliating act. elira made a beeline for the drinks the second she stepped foot into the frat house, unfortunately catching her brother’s eye in the process. she knew he’d likely have something to say about the dress she was in, and the way several of the other guests were staring at her as if they were going to pounce at any second. 

     “you must be joking,” she breathed, looking dumbfounded at her cheerleading captain. she waited for her to break in a laugh and say it was a prank or a test, but she never did. she was asking evelyn to have sex. and not just with someone, which would be fine (sort of). but with her boyfriend. and without a condom. “i, uh...” she stammered a bit. she had come so far to get into the cheerleading team, she couldn’t back out now. “sure,” her lips curved in a weak smile.

The main emotion she felt when her boyfriend finally went running from her bedroom was relief. Lo’s voice was sore and raw from all the screaming and if she’d been forced to look at their face for a second longer, she really couldn’t have been held accountable for her actions. She was still crying - more out of anger and frustration than any real sadness - as she listened to their hurried steps down the stairs and the revving of their car’s engine as they sped out of the driveway. The blonde fell gracelessly onto the edge of her bed, covering her face with her hands as she tried not to scream into the void of her bedroom or throw something that she’d ultimately regret breaking. When the creak of her door broke through her troubled thoughts, Lo didn’t need to ask who had come to find her. Even if they weren’t alone in the house, Aurane would have been the first to come try to comfort her. “You must think I’m a mess,” she mumbled, burying her face in his chest as she wrapped her tired arms around his neck. “Can you just stay with me a bit. Please?”

“i told you, i put in a good word at the studio for you. and they were very impressed with your audition tape. you’re a shoe-in.” blake told the male, lying effortlessly as she patted the empty spot next to her on her plush sofa. “now come have a drink with me.” she’d invited him over to celebrate despite knowing that no matter much the studio liked the look of him, they’d already decided to go with a bigger name that had a much bigger fanbase. she knew he’d be upset when he found out, but blake would do what she always did and simply find him another role elsewhere likely smaller but still somewhat good for exposure. just enough to say she tried her very best for him. 

she wasn’t blind to how completely wrong this situation was, after all, she isn’t the type to cheat or at least she’s never been in the past but she felt stuck. unsure of how to tear herself away from her current relationship, so instead she arrives at the door of the one person who makes her feel appreciated after a long day at work. glancing at the time on her phone, she sighed at how pathetic this appeared but she didn’t care. she couldn’t go home and be around them right now, it wasn’t an option. balling up her first, she gave a soft knock on the door and waited for them to answer.

never in her life had holly thought that something like this would happen, not only was she being forced to go to another school, along with the rest of the entire student body - but it the biggest rivalry she’d ever seen. the school day hadn’t even officially started yet, and already there were more than a handful of people getting suspended for fighting, at this rate it was going to be the longest year of her life. walking to her locker, everything was new - she hadn’t known the layout of this school, and she hadn’t wanted to, only that wasn’t an option now. letting out a sigh she hadn’t caught any sign of her friends yet, or her boyfriend for that matter - but she’d needed to at least get this locker open. spinning the dial, she’d tried two or three times before giving up. ❝ oh come on! ❞ holly sighed once more, before she was bringing up her fist, hitting it against the locker in question. ❝ just open up! ❞
