"Oh."  Opal was a little surprised that Milo came to her house to check on her, but the thought was nice. She had been dumped her boyfriend because he confirmed her suspicions of cheating and didn’t deny it when she brought it up. So, Opal was clearly upset. But that was a few days ago, and luckily because it had been March Break, she didn’t have to have a reason to go out anywhere and could just sit at home, watch movies and continue on with her life. “I’m doing okay, thank you for asking.” Usually she was a chatterbox, but toned it down a little bit. Milo was the only person who actually seemed to care about her, even her clique of friends just made jokes about the situation and weren’t really as sympathetic as she could see in his eyes. 

OPAL: breakups suck...

OPAL: and that’s saying a lot, because i’ve never really dated anyone before

OPAL: it’s whatever... it happens, I guess

OPAL: I don’t know,  is there really much to talk about? :(

“Sure. I’d like that,” Opal responded to her boyfriend with a shy smile from her lips. “But it’s my treat since I asked to go out. I’m just craving a huge pile of fries all of a sudden.” Her news nonetheless was shocking but it’s not like she could keep quiet let alone hidden. But for now, she wanted to enjoy herself. She hadn’t seen Jack in quite sometime and it was by time for a date. 

“Do you mind if we walk? It’s nice out and the diner isn’t that far anyways...” Was she purposely quiet? Not really, however she just didn’t know how to approach the subject of being a mom. Opal hadn’t expected it, but that’s what happened when two people had amateur sex (despite how amazing it ended up being). But they were in love... so it shouldn’t be so bad, right? Grabbing Jack’s hand to intertwine and walk with, she wrapped her other hand around his forearm to snuggle against him awhile they walked. Opal was very affectionate and she couldn’t help it.But she had heard no complaints. 

“Okay Oliver, I’ll buy you another basket if you’re going to be like that,” Opal said as she dipped one of his fries into her milkshake. “Didn’t you know? It’s mandatory to dip fries into a milkshake. Makes it all the more tastier. Maybe I should order one for you too.” A little giggle left her lips as she looked around for the waitress and then back at her friend. She enjoyed treating her friends out for lunch. It was nice to get together with the people she missed, especially now that it was summer! She loved summer… the beach, the cold drinks, the hikes, oh and the swimming!

“I knew who you were from the start, I just hoped you'd prove me wrong,” Opal bitterly spoke up, avoiding all contact with her sister as she paid attention to her homework. There were points where she just couldn’t handle the other, especially today. And for some reason, it just flipped a switch in the point that Opal wasn’t all that bubbly. Who cares? Their household wasn’t the greatest to be in anyways, so why were they still there. 

And usually Opal wasn’t one to judge, but since their personalities clashed nowadays (god knows why?), the blonde was fed up. She knew she fucked other girls and did things she wasn’t supposed to. Supposed. The word was only a boundary for what you shouldn’t be doing and if you could get caught. However, Opal was all about actually keeping a relationship unlike Helena. Opal knew this is how things were going to turn out--- they were different.

Opal had to stop seeming so upset over the fact that she didn’t get on the cheerleading team. It was just an extracurricular activity she thought she’d enjoy. But, she took Scott’s advice. Maybe it was a missed opportunity on purpose, something that would’ve directed her elsewhere. She couldn’t help but let out a sad chuckle alongside a small smile when he told her to. It was sweet of him to try and cheer her up. She appreciated it too.

Both of her friend's opinions were taken into consideration, however, Opal stuck to her statement (and was technically agreeing with Autumn without admitting so). While she sought out external love from different outlets outside of her brother AND father, keeping her friends close felt like a staple of happiness. Without them, she'd be lonely and they gladly took priority in her life. Though, just like any partner, they had the opportunity to back-stab and leave you, she just felt Autumn and Skylar's loyalty was far too strong. "Ohmygod, you're so right!" Opal had not meant to skip over the topic at hand but with Autumn's nickname for the three of them, just fit. And it made her laugh in amusement. "That should be our Halloween costume this year, I call Bubbles. Now that would be HOT."

The blonde could have rambled on and on and on--- it was a good personality trait, although it could have been deemed as equally bad. One of these days, she expected someone to tell her to 'shut up', aside from herself, internally. She was just very passionate about everything, except the unknown, like why did her mother just leave, occasionally return and act like things were normal? Opal just decided to give up on begging for answers and only focused on things that made her happy. As she took a sip of her cold can of Smirnoff Ice: Berry Blast, she merely felt herself relax. The night's vibe were incredible-- they lounged out on her back patio with soft pillows, twinkling lights, a fake fire pit, a bunch of snacks and her doggos, just wandering around. These plans were far more fun than the supposed hot date she almost went on.
