so many ways to be wicked

Okay so January. I was in a kinda relationship. It was kinda bc I refused to make it a thing bc commitment = scary. Then I went on a night out and a guy was messaging me after and while I was drunk and asleep the guy I was seeing read my messages so I ended it bc I didn’t reply to any of them and trust was lost. 

SO I had a ho phase an slept with a few people it could have been a montage. Then I ran in an election to be the LGBQ+ Officer for our Student Union (the T is left out bc we have a separate officer). During this week one of my flatmates came out as bi and thanked me for the confidence and I cried for an hour. After a hectic week I found out I won and was very very drunk (also got some very bad news that night but got more drunk to cope). 

So the week after I found out I can’t cope with loss at all and ended up going on some wild nights. On the Tuesday I went to a flat party and the guy who had been messaging me before had been flirting for a while but bc I’m scared of commitment I dropped it and he started talking to another gal but we still remained friends but that night I was being very flirty and spent most of the night sat on his knee. So that night ended with me going home with his best mate and I’m still not sure how. Like my friend was super chill with it and we’re still really good friends so I’m glad.

But like the sex was great and we did it again in the morning but after that he ignored me and I like attention. I know I like attention. So I had to walk around looking like I had been ravished by a vamp on the neck, and attacked by a werewolf on my back, and he was pretending he didn’t know me. On the Friday we were at karaoke together and he was still ignoring me so I slept with this guy to prove a point and omfg there is such a thing as too big nj. So bc I have a disability my hip had popped, while we were at it and although it doesn’t hurt I pretended it did and used it to escape bc if you have to deal with bad sex you’re not living your life right.

Then I get a date and I’m super happy but then it get cancelled on bc the person was a knob in short who tried it with my friend a week before. So I end up at the house party with the person who cancelled the date, both the guys I slept with last week and the guy I was originally messaging and I realise I like him. We are both bi af and talk about all genders together but then he is such a mess like me and I don’t think it’s going to work.

But I have another date planned with someone else after the craziest night I’ve ever had and I don’t even think I could write it down like wow. 

 “You were meant to be flirting T! You basically just scowled at him for a couple of minutes then stormed off!” Perry wasn’t exactly getting anywhere with Tia who was just marching ahead of him in an obvious strop. “Hey what is up with you?” That just opened a can of worms as she turned around to face him, a fire in her eyes. “You left me! You left me to deal with him on my own, he was a complete jerk and literally carries a weapon around which must be against at least one of the schools policies right?” She hated when Perry laughed at her outbursts, but he could never control himself. For a girl as small as she was, she had the temper of at least five people her size. He would often tease her, claiming that a lot of her anger was probably in relation to her height. “This is not funny! If you don’t think that I won’t just leave you to do this on your own then you are sorely mistaken mister!” 

He was expecting Tia to carry on, but luckily he was spared from the ranting as something more pressing caught her attention. Evie’s voice was one that you could hear from across the campus, especially when she was angry. The little fairy’s eyes practically lit up when she saw just who she was so angry with. “Uma?! I gave you a list Ben! All these young kids who deserve the chance we’re getting and you choose her!” 

Holding her arm out to stop Perry being seen, Tia was determined to hear as much as she could before being caught listening. “She deserves just as much of a chance as you! We couldn’t accept everyone straight away, not until the new dorms get built! If we left her on the Isle all she would have done was get angrier and angrier, at least here she can change.”

The blue haired girl didn’t seem to agree with him though, and although she wasn’t shouting now, the tone still showed that she wasn’t impressed. “And where is she going to stay now? Because I know you only have one room spare after placing Dizzy and Hadie.” Tia looked at Perry, a smirk on her lips as she heard Ben being ripped into. “If you think that placing Harry and Uma in a room together won’t cause issues then you are so wrong.”

“I actually have an idea about that. I just need to talk to Tia and Perry…” The smile vanished from her face quicker than it appeared as she heard her name being brought up. Perry on the other hand was already scheming, trying to figure out what he was going to say.

Evie was well versed on all gossip in the school, which was why she scoffed at Ben’s words. “Tia Bell? God you are dumber than I thought. Last I heard she hated your guts.” The blonde wasn’t the biggest fan of the villain kids, but she had to admit that she was on Evie’s side with this one. Ready to walk away having heard enough, she had no choice but walk straight into their path as Perry gave her an almighty shove. He presumed that he was already in enough trouble at this point, so there was no harm in making it any worse. “Speak of the devil.”

Ben turned around at Evie’s mumbles, his face blanched as he realised that he was going to have to deal with the issue sooner than he actually thought. “Oh um, Tia, did you hear any of that?” Nobody but the two of them knew what caused the tension between the pair, but neither of them were exactly willing to just go blabbing about it. One day they were the power couple of the kingdom, and then the next Tia had a dartboard of his face in her room and he was going out with Audrey.  

“Any of what?” She pretended to act dumb, although everyone was aware from the smirk on her lips that she had heard it all. 

Ben sighed, making Tia think this wasn’t going to be fun for her. “Uma and Harry still don’t have a dorm and there is only one room left. For obvious reasons we don’t want them sharing so I was wondering if you would swap roommates. I mean it would be easy for Kai and Erin to share a room, and that would mean you sharing with Uma-”

“And me sharing with Hook?” Perry interjected, showing a rare hint of anger. He was often angry about stuff but it wasn’t a common occurrence that he would show it. “You may have forgotten Ben, but I have history with his family. I mean my dad is the whole reason his dad has to use a hook.” 

Ben looked desperate at this point, knowing that this was his last resort. He certainly didn’t expect the chipper voice of T to start backing him up. “You don’t need to be worried Perry. We need to give them a second chance, I mean you were only saying that earlier.” Everyone was surprised at what Tia was saying but Ben was too happy to read anything into it. “I’ll go and talk to Erin and we can get them all moved in by the day is done.” Perry clocked on to what she was doing pretty quickly, but didn’t seem too optimistic so that he didn’t draw suspicion to himself. 

“Once we get the new building up and ready, you can go back to your normal arrangements I promise. So what do you say Perry?” The boy just nodded at him, but it was enough to make the king happy. “I owe you two so much, seriously!” Ben ran off, quickly followed by Evie, who looked like she wasn’t even near finished with her argument.

Perry looked down at his friend, waiting a moment to make sure that they were out of earshot. “And what was that about?” 

“You said we needed to get close to them. So refusing to room with them wouldn’t really give off the best first impression, would it?” She didn’t always come out with the smartest things, but even Perry had to admit that she was right. “Plus rooming with them gives us a real opportunity to figure out what they are up to, even if we don’t get along. I have to admit though, out of the VK’s Evie is probably my favourite.”

Perry linked arms with her, walking together as they often would, with the glint in his eyes that meant he was about to do something that would cause her to be in a mood with him. “Really? That’s funny I thought that Jay was after the way you were looking at him at R.O.A.R the other day.”

She pushed him away, obviously not impressed at his implication. “I swear to god Pan, if you carry on like this I will sneak into your room at night, steal Harry’s hook and shove it so far up your ass nobody will ever find it again.” Even though he knew her well enough not to take it seriously, there were times that he should probably watch his back around her just in case she felt like getting revenge. “Now we should go and tell Kai and Erin, I mean they should be okay with it right?”

“What?! You’re going to be living with Uma!” Erin was clearly not as okay with it as they had both previously imagined even though Kai had already agreed with them that it wasn’t a fully bad idea. They hadn’t indulged that it was part of one of their schemes yet, they were seeing just how long they could get away with keeping that one a secret. The twins never really encouraged the mayhem Tia and Perry loved to cause, both of them being pretty straight laced in their respective ways, probably due to them having royal status that they needed to uphold. “Do you really think that’s the smartest idea?”

Tia looked at her friend knowing that if anyone could get through to her, it would be him. “We need to give them a chance, Erin, plus it’s not like they can actually do anything to us.” She didn’t really look convinced by what he was saying, although she didn’t exactly have a say in the matter. “When do we ever get in trouble?”

Unlike her brother, the redhead did not find the joke that funny, instead just rolling her eyes. “I’m only worried because I care.” Nobody really knew how to answer her, knowing that it was true. Tia just scoffed loudly; it wasn’t as if she didn’t care about them too. She just showed it in her own (probably unhealthy) way. 

There was an awkward silence that filled the air as Tia stomped around the room packing her stuff. It had taken Perry about ten minutes, and most of that time was spent by him messing around, whereas the blonde had been working on it for a good hour by this point. Kai was the first to break the tension, knowing that it was very easy to start an argument when the girls were in a mood. “I don’t know why you brought so much stuff. Your mum literally lives like ten minutes away.”

“Ah but then I don’t have to visit her.” It was pretty well known that Tia wasn’t exactly close to her mother. When two people are so similar is isn’t exactly a recipe for success, especially when they are the only two in the house. It was pretty much how Perry became friends with Tia. Due to the boy’s mother being Wendy Darling, he wasn’t Tinker Bell’s favourite person, no matter who his father was. So when Tia was told she wasn’t allowed to talk to him on her first day of school, it just cemented who was going to be her best friend. Even as a child Tia knew how to be petty. “Anyway I am just planning for the future. I have everything I need here. It’s called being prepared.”

Walking up to the case which was literally packed to the brim, he picked up a tiara, with raised eyebrows. “Yeah this looks like it will come in handy.” She just stuck her tongue out, lifting up her mattress as everybody else looked on in confusion. Pulling out a bottle she placed it in her case along with the tiara she snatched out of Kai’s hands. “And what the hell is that?”

The smirk on her lips made it abundantly clear what it was, but always being one for dramatics she didn’t hesitate elaborating. “I’m not saying that I stole a bottle of my mum’s vodka, but that is exactly what I did.” She ignored the disapproving looks from Erin, instead sitting on her case and fastening it with a great effort. It was at this moment she slightly regretted packing as much as she had done, but it was too late for her to leave anything behind at this point. “Can one of you zip it up please?” Her eyes were wide knowing that with all three of them it was her way of getting what she wanted. Her ‘puppy eyes’ made those who knew her very weak willed, and she was well aware of that fact. 

“You two fasten that for her, I need to talk alone.” Erin stood up shakily, grabbing onto one of her walking aids and grabbing Tia’s hand as she dragged her outside. “You’re not just doing this to get Ben’s favour are you? You know that he is with Mal now and I don’t think you doing one good deed is going to change that.”

It took a few moments for the blonde to process what was being said. Although like most people Erin didn’t know the deal with her hatred of Ben, but she was clever enough to see that there was something beyond the anger. “I don’t care about his favour. I just want to do something good for once okay? Can’t I do something nice without there being an ulterior motive?” 

It was clear that Erin didn’t know how to answer the question, instead just giving her a hug. “Promise you won’t do something stupid?” There was no verbal response from Tia, she just pulled her in tighter as a response.

“I’ll be back as your roomie in no time. No need to worry about me. I can handle myself.”
