Anywaysssss, REVIEWS:

A very obsessed fangirl: yEs, keEfE wAs bAcK. This is 100% a Sophiana fanfiction so there will 100% be Sophiana moments™. *dies a little with you even though she is already dead inside* We really all do love Grady, don't we? Anyone who does not love Grady can go bathe themselves in alicorn poo! ;) Good guess, maybe. Why thank you! *tries to curtsy* Yup, they really are wise words we all should accept. aLwAyS yAy fOr mAllOwMeLt. bOo cOrOnaViRuS. I do too. But who doesn't? Again, if anyone does not love mallowmelt I will throw alicorn poo stink bombs at them, or put them in a T.A.R.D.I.S and send them back in time so they can be a victim of The Great Gulon Incident. Probably, lol. :) Thank you so much for reviewing! Yessss, here's da chapterrr!


Chapter Eight


"Sooo," I drag the o, sheepishly raking a hand through my tangled blonde hair that sadly was very neglected.

"So... what?" Biana prompted.

I bite my lip. "I don't know!" I protest. "I'm trying to make small talk here! It was honestly getting kind of awkward and I'm not good at these types of things so don't patronize me!"

Linh and Biana nod their heads in agreement.

We sit in another heavy silence for a few more minutes until Linh speaks up. "Why don't we play a game?" she suggests.

"What do you have in mind?" Biana curiously asked.

Linh's eyes glitter with good humor. "Truth or dare. How about that?"

Biana rolls her eyes. "Sophie, what do you think?" Both of their gazes instantly snapped onto me.

"Personally, I just want to eat more mallowmelt," I mumble, sinking back into my pillows.

"Understandable," put in Biana, "but that can't be the only thing we do. I mean, while we're here," she gestured towards me and Linh, "without the boys, let's just hang out and have some fun." A small hint of sadness trickled into her expression, and suddenly the tone of the room turned somber. I knew what everyone was thinking about- no, who, and nope, I couldn't deny it- I was also thinking about him. But the mood had been so jovial seconds beforehand, it disappointed me to see everyone's spirits sink so low so quickly.

I definitely wasn't the life of the party, or the person anyone wanted to ask for ideas on what to do for fun, but I knew I had to do something. I mean, I was the one hosting this shindig- if I could even call it that, considering the look Linh and Biana wore, you'd think it was a funeral and I was doing the reading.

I stand up, fluffening my pillow and smirking. "Hey guys?" I tauntingly state.

"What?" Biana and Linh blinked in confusion.

I picked up another pillow and threw both at the same time. One successfully hit Biana, but the other flew past Linh's head, barely touching her ear.

Linh reached a hand to the side of her head and a murderous look took over her face. "You wanna pillow fight? Let's see you beat this!" Linh yanked the pillow from the floor underneath her and stood up, flinging it in my direction.

I yelped, ducking, but not in time, because I got a face full of feathers. "How. Dare. YOU!" I scream, and jump off the bed, dragging a massive bean bag like pillow behind me.

"No..." whispered Biana, and she protectively chose a medium-sized white cushion, holding it up to cover her face. "Don't attack me! I'm too young to die!" she cried.

I cackle, slinging the gigantigum pillow over my shoulder. "No one can be excused from the horror that is a pillow fight!" I yell, tightening my grip on the pillow and swinging it through the air, letting go of my hold and watching with a satisfied smile as it knocked Biana off the edge of my bed. She hit the floor with a loud and thunderous thud. I waited a bit for her to move, to get up. But she didn't. She remained splayed on the floor, not moving a single muscle.

My eyes widened. Yikes, did I really do that? A feeling of guilt washed over me as I rushed to her side, bending down beside her body. "Um, Biana, are-are you okay?" I whisper. "I'm sorry, I swear I didn't mean to-"

THWACK!

Biana had used this to her advantage and thrusted that same pillow that knocked her to the floor- into my face. The pillow slid off my face and I blinked once. Twice. She. Did. Not. I froze, my face blank and emotionless.

Then a smile curled at the edges of my lips.

I took that pillow and climbed up to sit on Biana's stomach. I smirked, and swung it onto her again. "Take that!" I howl, grinning.

But Biana didn't retaliate this time.

Was it my imagination or were Biana's cheeks turning slightly red? Like roses, they blossomed into a powdered sort of color. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out.

"What?" I ask, confused. "What is it?"

I heard a throat being loudly cleared from behind me. It was Linh. She raised an eyebrow and nodded at us.

I suddenly realize the compromising position we were in and blushed, quickly rushing to clamber off of her. Except, minor inconvenience? My sock got stuck in one of the buttons on her blouse. I tripped onto her, our faces inches apart. I studied Biana's face for a moment. She was wearing this weird smile and a strand of her hair brushed my chin, tickling my skin. Biana's eyes widened and they briefly dipped to my lips.

Embarrassed, I pulled myself off her. "Sorry," I apologize, getting up and sitting myself back onto the bed like nothing happened.

She shrugged, wincing as she got up.

"N-no problem," she stammered, scratching her neck. Her hair fell in waves over her back and her enchanted teal pools were flickering around the room, anywhere but at me.

Somehow that fueled something in me. I wanted her to pay attention to me. Why was she acting this awkward? Why was she refusing to even spare me a single glance? "Biana? Are you okay?" I perplexingly query her.

She still didn't meet my eyes, which bothered me immensely. "Yeah, y-yeah, of course," she muttered, her voice sounding shaky. She pulled herself up to her feet, and smiled at me, though it didn't hold its usual confident glow. "I think I just want to get some sleep."

I offer her a small smile. "Me too. I'm kind of getting sleepy right now. Linh? Are you-" I glance over at Linh, who was sound asleep on the floor, her head resting on a red pillow and a thin white sheet draped over her body. I roll my eyes and clap my hands, as softly as I could as to not wake up Linh, turning the lights off. I flop onto my bed and sigh, staring up at the ceiling. "Goodnight, Biana," I murmur.

"Goodnight, Sophie," I heard her chime in reciprocation.

A faint smile crossed my lips as I snuggle into my pillow and fall into a deep sleep.
