Chapter Four:

*Aradia's POV*

After about two hours of eating junk food and watching re-runs of Pretty Little Liars , Damara came home.

"Hey guys! What's up?!" She shouted with enthusiasm when she walked through the door.

"Hey." Vriska and I mumbled without removing our eyes from the TV screen.

"How was school?" She asked as she walked into the kitchen and set something down on the counter.

"Fine." We mumbled again at the same time.

We heard Damara laugh.

"Wow, you guys are hilarious!"

We didn't reply, we kind of just ignored her and blocked her out. We were so focused on the TV screen that we didn't know she was trying to talk to us until she shut off the TV.

"Whoa! What was that for?!" Vriska shouted.

Damara laughed. "You guys were so focused on the TV that you didn't hear me shouting at you! "

"Oh…Well what do you want?" I asked.

She laughed again. "I was asking if Vriska was staying for supper."

Vriska looked shocked. "What time is it?"

"Six thirty." Damara replied.

Vriska stood up. "Holy shit! I have to get home."

I laughed and stood up. "Are you taking the bus?"

"Duh."

"Well, I can drive you if you want." Damara offered.

Vriska shook her head. "No, it's okay. I'll be fine."

"You sure?"

Vriska nodded and then sighed. "Yeah…"

"Alright, well it was nice seeing you again Vriska."

"Yep, it was nice to see you too." Vriska walked toward my front door and I followed.

"Thanks for coming Vriska, I really appreciate it."

She smiled and gave me a hug. I hugged her back.

"I'll see you tomorrow." She said when she let go of me.

"You know it." I smiled.

She smiled back. "I'll see you later."

"Bye." I said as she walked out of my door and closed it behind her.

"So, I guess it's a good thing that I brought take out for supper?" I heard Damara say from the kitchen.

Oh crap, I had forgotten to make supper…

I turned around and walked to my kitchen.

"I am so sorry Damara! I completely forgot about supper!"

"Don't worry about it Aradia! Geez, you apologize too much."

I sighed as I watched Damara open two foam containers full of food.

"How did you know that I wasn't going to be making supper?"

"Because I'm awesome, that's why."

I grinned. "Right."

She nodded. "I usually am." She replied and handed me my foam container full of Japanese food.

I took it, grabbed a fork and started eating it while standing up.

At first Damara and I ate in silence. I looked up at her. Her long black hair was tied up and was held up with two chop sticks. She wore a red shirt and blue skinny jeans, oh and she liked to wear red mascara, lipstick, and eyeliner...And she liked to smoke, which is something my parents did not know and she was trying super hard to keep it a secret from them. I was very close to my sister, she was my best friend when I felt like I couldn't turn to any of my other friends for something…She listened and loved me no matter what…I mean, in a way she had to because she was my sister…

"So, what's new?" She asked, breaking the silence.

I shrugged. "Mom called."

"Awww! And I missed it?! What did she say?"

"She asked if we were remembering to eat, if we were cleaning our rooms, and she said that she loved us."

Damara sighed. "Sometimes I really miss her."

"Sometimes?" I questioned.

"Well, I do miss her. But in a way I do like the freedom."

I shook my head but I totally understood where she was coming from. Last July my parents came to visit us for a whole month. For that whole month my parents did not allow me to go out with Sollux after a certain time. I snuck out almost every night that month. When my parents were gone Damara gave me so much freedom…Almost too much freedom. But she trusted Sollux to get me home safely and she trusted me not to get drunk or pregnant…Or both…

I nodded. "Yeah, you're right."

"Like I said, I usually am."

I raised my eyebrows and smirked.

"So, is that it?"

I gave her a confused look. "Is what it?"

"Is that all that's new?"

"Umm…Yeah, I believe so…"

She raised her eyebrows. "So, today while I was working on cutting someone's hair, I got a facebook update on my phone."

I stopped eating and stared at her. "What?"

"I got a Facebook update on my phone at work." She repeated.

I set my food down on the counter. There's no way she could have known…

"And what was that Facebook update of…?" I really didn't know why I was so nervous about this or why I didn't want Damara to know…I don't know, I usually don't know why I do things but I suspect I do things for a reason because everything happens for a reason.

"The Facebook update was about your ex-boyfriend dating your I'm assuming ex-best friend…"

"She is not my ex-best friend!"

"So, you're okay with it?"

"Ummm…."

She raised her eyebrows and gave me her stupid mom look…She wasn't even a mom!

I groaned. "No, I'm not."

"So, she told you?"

"No."

"Do you hate her?"

I gave her a confused look. "No?"

She nodded and set her food on the counter as well. "Do you and Sollux still talk? Are you two still friends?"

I sighed and shrugged. "Honestly Damara, I don't know…He hasn't even looked at me since we broke up."

She frowned. "You guys are amazing friends please do not stop being friends just because you broke up."

"Well, how do I keep being friends with a guy who won't even look at me?"

"He probably just thinks it's awkward. Or maybe he wants to talk to you but he thinks that you don't want to talk to him. Maybe you should try and say hi to him next time you see him. You know, in the halls and such."

I sighed. "That's kinda…Awkward.."

She smirked. "I don't care how awkward it is Aradia! We both know you want to continue being friends with the guy!"

I sighed heavily. "You know what Damara?!"

"What?"

"You need to stop being right all the time…"

*Nepeta's POV*

"Hiya Equius!" I greeted Equius as he walked into my house.

"Hello Nepeta, how are you doing this evening?"

I smiled. "I'm doing pawsitively purrfect!"

He nodded. "That's good."

Equius was my cousin and he was also my best friend…Well, him and Karkat. But, Equius never talked to me at school. He said it had something to do with the whole popularity thing but I didn't really mind. I mostly hung out with my friends at school anyways, and I love my friends!

"Do you want to hang out in my room?" I asked him.

He nodded. "Sure, let's go hang out in your room."

I smiled. "Sweet!" I shouted and ran up my stairs as he carefully walked up the stairs.

When we got to my room, I sat down on the floor with my legs crossed and he sat across from me.

"So, what's up Equius?" I asked trying to start a conversation.

He sighed. "There is nothing much going on with me…How about you Nepeta?"

I shrugged. "Nothing much…Just a little sad about Aradia and Sollux."

I felt him tense up and I narrowed my eyebrows.

"Are you okay Equius?"

He took a deep breath and then nodded. "I'm…I'm fine Nepeta…"

I smirked and shook my head. "No, you're not! There's something the matter with you! You can tell me anything Equius!"

He hesitated and I patiently waited for him to say something. After about ten minutes of silence, I guess it got to him because he sighed heavily.

"Fine, I will tell you Nepeta, but you have to prom-"

"What is it?! Tell me! Tell me! TELL ME!" I interrupted him.

He sighed again. "I like Aradia."

The room suddenly went into an awkward silence.

"Y-you like Aradia?" I finally asked after a long silence.

He didn't say anything, he just nodded.

"I do very much. And I think I have for a long time but I never said anything because she isn't part of the popular people at our school."

I rolled my eyes. Him and his stupid popularity chain!

"So, what are you going to do about it?" I asked him feeling really curious.

"There is nothing much that I can do."

I frowned and rubbed the back of my head nervously. Well, we were in a bit of a pickle.

Sollux is dating Feferi who is best friend's with Aradia, who still likes Sollux, while Equius is crushing on her secretly… Why? Honestly, why does this suddenly have to happen? We got by our first two years of high school without so much drama, why did our third you have to start off with so much? Grrr…I need claw someone or something….

Kay guys, sorry that it was so short and that I left you hanging! I just wanted to get this chapter done because I'm pretty sure the next chapters will get more exciting! I have this story planned out so I hope that those other chapters will make up for this one! Anyways, thanks for reading and please review!
