Chapter 7: Lily vs. Angela

Lily stood in front of the mirror in Jess' room, checking her reflection for the last time.

She wore black jeans that expanded from her knees down to the floor, and her shirt was two sizes larger in light blue color, and fell loose on one side, exposing one shoulder and a little cleavage.

On her waist she tied a silver belt, and on her feet were black platform shoes (it took Jess the whole afternoon to convince Lily to wear them).

Her hair was down, and she wore little square spectacles, that were 1/3 of the size she usually wore.

She ran a hand through her black hair and put a few strands in front of her shoulders.

She didn't wear any makeup or jewelry except a necklace with a clear stone hanging at the end,

After one last satisfied look at her reflection she turned around towards Jess and Vi' and smiled "all right, I'm ready. And you?"

"In a second" said Jess but once she turned and saw Lily she sighed disappointedly "Lily, what are you wearing?"

"If I didn't know for sure, I would say clothes" answered Lily sarcastically "but correct me if I'm wrong"

"You can't show up like that! You know how Angela is going to look? Like some goddess or something, and this way Derek will never dump her"

Lily raised her eyebrows "and then you'll loose the bet, right?"

"I didn't mean it like that…"

"Its ok" smiled Lily "will you just trust me? I know how to handle Derek. And besides, I can't exactly show up as a 'goddess or something'. First of all Potter, Black, Penthale and all the rest are coming here. Do you think that I want them to see me in a different style? It's going to be like I throw away all those five years of disguise and reputation in one second. And besides it's going to pain much more to Angela that Derek is dumping her for the 'poor street orphan', don't you think?" she asked with a sly smile.

"I like how your brain works" laughed Vi' "but how do you know that it won't happen in reverse?"

"Well" Lily looked slightly uncomfortable "Derek already hinted me that the only way that he'll dump her is if… I'll kiss him" she ended quietly.

"That's it?" her friends looked at her surprised.

"But you've already kissed him lots of times before, what's the big deal?" asked Vi'.

"First of all we didn't kiss 'lots of times' we only kissed twice" started Lily with a bit annoyance "and second, he always was the one to start those kisses and I just…" the ends of her mouth twitched slightly "cooperated"

"Hold it" said Jess and sat on her bed "you mean to tell me that you never kissed him?"

"I kissed him back, that yes, but I was never the first to start the kiss… and that what he wants me to do"

"But he always says what a good kisser you are…" started Vi' confusedly

Lily gave a short laughter "it's his way to say that he likes me. You know how he says always how much he loves Angela? Well in his words it means 'a good sex'. He always tells the other girls that the love between them is very strong and nothing will separate them. Now if you want to translate it in common words he means: 'as long as the sex is good, there's no reason to break up'"

Jess wasn't surprise at Lily's words; she always knew that Derek was a major player, except maybe around Lily. So to think that all Lily had to do was to kiss…

Suddenly Jess jumped on her lags, her eyes shooting daggers at Lily.

"You mean to tell me that I've been Angela's slave, just because you refused to give Derek a DAM'N KISS?"

Lily walked from room to room, greeting people that smiled at her and gave short responses to their questions, excusing herself to keep looking for Vi'.

"Lily!" someone called behind her.

Lily turned around and her face broke into a pleasant smile "Mrs. Potter! Nice of you that you came"

Helen laughed "yes well, I couldn't miss such a party, especially with all the rumors that were going on for the last few days"

"What rumors?" asked Lily suspiciously.

"Something that involves you, a good show, popcorn and a pile of galleons. Know what it's all about?"

"No" Lily shook her head "I have no idea"

"Never mind" chuckled Helen "listens, I wanted to congratulate you for-"

"Becoming Head Girl?" asked Lily with a smile

"Yes! That's right. I admit that I was absolutely thrilled when I heard that you've been chosen"

"Really? Why?" asked Lily in surprise.

"It's because of James. He is not exactly the most serious and responsible boy there is, unless of course he wants to be. Let's just say that he's a bit too much mischievous to take such roll in a series manner-"

"Just a bit?", Thought Lily to herself

"-So I'm glad that they've picked you, because I know that you are a mature person. And maybe you'll be able to- how to say it? - put some limits to James nature?"

"You want me to tame him?" asked Lily. "Great, I'm going to baby sit Potter for a whole year"; she thought bitterly, "what joy".

Helen looked at her with amusement "if you want to put it in those words, than yes. If you agree of course"

Lily sighed and was about to answer when she spotted Vi' standing alone, leaning on a wall "I'll see what I can do" she answered and excused herself, walking straight to Vi'.

"Hey, are you ok?" asked Lily with concern.

Vi' looked at her and smiled sadly but didn't respond.

"It didn't work out?" asked Lily again.

"No" sighed Vi' "I don't think he's interested, you know"

Lily held Vi's hand in her own and squeezed it slightly "of course Remus is interested, he just…" she hesitated for a second "maybe he's too shy or something, or maybe he's too afraid that you'll reject him"

"Because he's a werewolf?"

"You know about that?" Lily looked at her surprised.

Vi' gave a small smile and looked sideways at her friend "you're not the only smart person around here"

Lily shrugged in response "it's nothing to do with being smart" she got closer to her friend and said in a low voice "you just need to care enough to notice"

Vi' blushed slightly, but felt much better. Lily squeezed her hand one last time with assuring smile and left her, her mind already planning how to get her two friends together.

"Jamie! Come here for a second will you?"

"What is it Lils?" the small kid looked up at her with interest. Lily knelt beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Do you remember the plan of yours and Julie's concerning Remus and Vi'? The one I told you to drop the idea and let them hook up by themselves?"

"Yes…"

"Well, I changed my mind. Can you two pull it off now?"

"No problem!" smiled Jamie widely "I'll just go and get Julie"

"Where is she?"

"In the kitchen, making everyone popcorn for the main event" answered Jamie with a devilish smile, shooting Lily a meaningful look.

"I'm not even going to try to respond to that" muttered Lily and stood up.

"Where's Jess?"

"Kitchen as well" pointed Jamie behind him.

"Hey, how's Vi'?" asked Jess the moment Lily sat next to her.

"Slightly put-out but she'll be alright" sighed Lily and put her elbow on the table and her chin in her palm "I think that Remus' little problem quite disturbing him so he's quite afraid to make a move"

Julie who was sitting next to them and flipping the pages of her black notebook looked up the moment Lily mentioned Remus' problem.

"Yeah, poor Remy" said Julie sadly "living with a linktoffeephobia isn't easy"

"A what?" asked Lily and Jess in surprise.

"A link-toffee-phobia" said Julie slowly and than looked sad again "he's afraid of linked toffees- I never knew there was such a thing…" Julie looked thoughtful for a minute before getting back to her notebook.

"Translation please" Jess looked at Lily with confusion.

"She meant Lycanthrope" Lily chuckled.

"Elli, Jessica won't you join us?" asked a sweet voice behind them.

Lily and Jess cringed and turned around to look at Angela who was standing with her hands around Derek's waist.

Angela wore a black top shirt that was sleeveless and exposed a lot of cleavage to an inch from her nipples. It was visible that she didn't wear her bra which probably was the reason Derek kept staring and drooling visibly. She wore as well a leather miniskirt and high heels shoes.

"Sure, we'll join you in a second" smiled Jess and then added in a low voice "can you spell slut?"

"s-l-u-t" called Julie aloud

"What did you say?" asked Angela sternly, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

"It's the capital letters for 'seductive trash universally teenagers'" smiled Julie innocently to her "it's a name of a bend" she added.

"Oh" Angela looked confused for a second but than smiled again "come on and join us at the back room" her eyes were fixed on Lily "all your friends are there"

"We're coming" answered Lily and smiled slightly to herself "this is going to be fun" she thought to herself.

Last to leave was Julie. She jumped from the table and headed after the rest of the people.

"Let the game begin" she announced quietly and opened a new page in her notebook where there was one line that divided the page into two and on the top there was written in big letters: Lily vs. Angela

Lily sat on the couch, a glass of juice in her hand and looked around the small room.

Bred, Janet and some other guys and girls which she could recognize only Luke and Ashley were leaning against the opposite wall with a drink in their hands, talking and laughing with each other.

Angela, Derek, James and Elany were sitting on one couch and Jess and Sirius on the other.

Lily sat alone on the armchair, drinking slowly her juice and ignoring the stares that she received from the rest of the people (which most of them were the gamblers)

"So Elly" said suddenly Angela, shooting her a pleasant smile "Derek told me that you're working for your living"

Lily raised one eyebrow and shrugged "yes I am"

"Oh, you poor thing... Sweating and dirtying your hands in a hard work! Well, I've heard such cases when the parents can't afford to pay for the children, and the children need to go out and find a job. Such a shame…"

Lily stiffened when she heard her mention her parents, but didn't respond.

Angela was quite surprised when Derek pushed her, not in the gentlest way, from his lap.

"Evans is working?" sneered Elany, interrupting the conversation "I heard something about you teaching old women how to do yoga" Elany turned towards Lily with a smirk "does it really worth the money?"

To her surprise, Lily smiled a little "I don't know" she answered lightly "why don't you ask your mother? She's participating in one of the groups that I teach, after all"

Everyone except Elany her friends, James and Angela were laughing at this.

Julie sighed impatiently "will the cow mind to shut up?" she muttered to herself "how can someone bet around here if she'll keep interfering?"

"I pity your boyfriend really "continued Angela, faking a sad face "what he does if his girlfriend works all the time?"

"I don't have a boyfriend"

"Really?" Angela's eyes were full of triumph "so that means that you've never kissed a guy before?"

"I never said that" Lily answered, leaning back in her seat

"You're asking the wrong question" Jess interfered, shooting a smirk towards her cousin "the right question is how many times a guy kissed Lily"

"Or how many tried" added Bred with a wink towards Lily.

Lily was suddenly very interested in the material of the armchair while everyone who knew what Bred was referring to, were howling with laughter.

Angela looked around her with a slight frown. Apparently she was missing here something.

"You've been kissed before?" she asked with a slight annoyance.

Lily stiffened "I don't see how this information is important" she said coldly "but yes"

"When was your first time, by the way?" Jess asked curiously.

Lily opened her mouth to answer, but nothing came out. She remembered when she was kissed for the first time, and remembered in what circumstances.

Her eyes become full with sorrow when she remembered in what emotional condition she was at the age of 12.

The kiss wasn't significant to her then, only years later she appreciated the true meaning of that simple kiss.

It came to comfort her, to tell her that she wasn't alone. It was her first and only 'unofficial' kiss.

"Fifteen" answered Derek.

Lily looked at him surprised. He smiled at her slightly, a smile that only she noticed.

He knew exactly what crossed her mind when she heard the question.

Her features softened when she heard him answer. After all, the answer wasn't far from the truth. Her 'official' kiss was at age 15.

"And how would you know?" Jess asked surprised.

Lily and Derek turned to look at her with raised eyebrows.

"Oh" she smiled sheepishly "right"

"So you've been kissed once and that's all? This is really sad. You've no idea what you're missing in a true relationship. Take me for example" Angela turned to Derek and stroked his chick "I never stay alone for long. I always in some relationship with a guy"

"Yes, no doubt" Lily chuckled softly "and no doubt that you're the kind that explores every inch and possibility in those relationships"

Angela looked sharply at her "and I bet that you're the kind that practically live in the library with no social life, preferring books as a company than people" she sneered "you're probably going to wait to your wedding to actually do it, right?"

"Well, I was never exactly in the mood to play kangaroo in bed" Lily said sweetly. "I do prefer to study in the library as you mentioned, which is different from other girls who all they care is their looks than their brain, and spend useless nights with different guys each time"

"Well… if you want to play the prude around here, go ahead" Angela rolled her eyes "while the rest of us know that it is perfectly normal and natural, the attraction that a man and a woman feel for each other".

Lily shrugged and sipped from her drink "Making love with the one you truly like is not a bad thing. But doing it with a different guy each time, is literally 'fucking'. And it seems to me simply useless. Unless you can assume that such girls are only practicing it, just to get a job in this area" here eyes moved from Angela to Elany and back again when she said the last sentence. There were several gasps and chuckles from people and Angela looked like she was going to explode.

"Well, I don't think that you're going to worry about that" Angela snapped at her "because I doubt that a guy would actually want to do it with you. Even if you'll go around, offering yourself"

Lily laughed "thank goodness that I've got enough dignity not to do that. I don't need some idiot to get under the covers with me, just to raise my self-esteem"

"Raise your self-esteem?" Angela asked coldly

"Yes" Lily smiled, looking directly at Angela's eyes "those girls act so 'cool' and confident, but the truth is quite the opposite. Their self-confidence is so low, that they jump into bed with the first pretty-face they can find, afraid that other 'cool' boys won't notice them. This makes their self-esteem drop even lower than the carpet.

I've got enough confident in myself to know my value, and I don't need some jerk to tell me lies just so he'll get laid"

"Not all of them ending like that" Angela said icily

Lily just shrugged "if you say so"

People started to talk again around them, sensing that this 'conversation' was over.

Jamie looked at them one last time, making sure that Lily and Angela won't return to a second round.

"It's safe" he whispered to Julie "we better go"

"Wait for me" Jess stood up and walked with them.

When they entered the kitchen, the first thing that they saw were Remus and Vi' sitting one next to each other at the kitchen table.

Julie nudged her brother at his side and pointed with a smile under the table, where Remus' and Vi's fingers were combined together.

"Where have you guys been? You've just missed the major confrontation between Lily and that devil-slut" asked Jess, sitting opposite them at the table.

"We were locked in a broom closet" answered Remus

"You won't know anything about it, would you?" Vi' looked suspiciously at the twins.

"We? How come every time something goes wrong around here, it's our fault?" Julie asked mock-insulted.

"Because it usually is" Jess commented dryly

"Fine" huffed Julie "but we didn't lock you"

"We simply asked 'Ouch' to put a charm on the door, so it won't open until you confess your 'undying love' to each other " continued Jamie."And as we can see, it worked perfectly" he added with a sly smile.

Vi' blushed and Remus just smiled, casting a look at her "we talked" he said.

"We were squeezed together" said a slightly grump Vi' "what else could we do?"

"Squeezed?" Jess looked at then confusedly "but our broom closet is huge. Five people can enter it and there would be still a room to stretch your arms"

"Not really. Ouch diminished the space, so two people could barely even breath in there from lack of space" Julie explained

The three teens stared at them and then Jess shook her head "I'm not going even to try, I have a feeling that Lily gave a permission to do it"

The twins just smiled but didn't answer.

"So what did we miss?" Remus asked with interest.

"Angela and Lily started to throw insults at each other" Jess smiled widely.

"What did they say?"

"Angela called Lils a virgin bookworm prude nerd, who won't be able to attract a man even if she'll wore a sign that will say 'I want to get-' - you know" Julie waved her hand, letting the rest to continue the sentence themselves

"And Lils called Angela a shallow brainless whore with self-esteem at the size of a bug" Jamie said.

"The score?" Vi' asked.

Julie counted all the tics that she wrote "Angela: 9 points, Lils: 9 points"

"Lils gets another point bonus because she was the first to start the fight" added Jamie.

Julie corrected it in her notebook and looked at her watch "its past ten" she flipped a few pages and started to cross some names "Jess, you're out" she announced. Jessica groaned in response. Here go her twelve galleons…

"Vi', you've got another ten minutes before losing the bet"

Vi' sighed and looked quite desperately at Jess "there is no chance to ask Lily to kiss Derek in the next ten minutes, right?"

Derek walked with Angela by his side, towards a small group who were laughing at something.

"Hey guys, having fun?" he smiled at them.

"Yeah, the only thing that is blowing it, it's all the grownups. Or else we could have a real party" said one of the young men.

Lily chuckled softly and shook her head "like I ever going to let you get drunk and destroy the house, Luke"

Luke groaned in objection "I wouldn't destroy the house, where on earth have you got that idea?"

Lily folded her arms on her chest and raised her eyebrows at him "oh really? And what about the last party at the Jacksons? I heard you broke two windows, a table, a vase, a lamp, a picture, somebody's arm, your leg… should I continue?"

The people surrounding her erupted in laughter which Luke joined "yep, that was one hell of a party"

"Flower, I'm looking for Jess and Vi'"

"Kitchen" Lily answered

Derek turned to Angela "I'll be right back"

"Sure thing, baby" Angela smiled and gave him a deep kiss.

Derek opened one eye and winked at Lily, who depressed her urge to roll her eyes, or gag.

When Derek left, Angela grabbed Lily by her arm and dragged her to the corner of the room.

"Now you listen to me, you little dwarf" Angela hissed "I know what you playing at and you won't be able to break us up"

"You already said that when you first arrived" Lily said casually

"I did, but I can see that you still didn't realize that. Derek is mine. He loves me. So I'll suggest you back down or you might get hurt, because there is nothing that you can do to us, clear?"

"Crystal" Lily smiled sweetly.

"Good" Angela sneered. Her eyes examined Lily's clothes and her sneer deepened "how pathetic. I really pity your parents for giving a birth to such an ugly thing as you. Unless of course it runs in the blood? You know, from mother to daughter…?" she laughed as she walked to sit with Elany again.

Lily's hands were clenched into fists and her breath was slow and deep. This time, this girl has passed every limit.

No one insulted her parents in front of her without paying.

Derek entered the kitchen with a smirk "I believe the bet is off"

Vi', Jess, Remus and the twins looked at him with surprise "what?"

James and Sirius who happened to sit with them in the kitchen looked at them with confusion "what bet?" Sirius asked.

"What do you mean off?" Jamie demanded to know.

"Off. I'm not breaking up with Angela tonight, so forget about it"

"No! You can't do that! You know how many people paid on Lils to break you two up?" Julie called, waving her notebook in front of his face.

Lily entered the kitchen at that very moment, still fuming on Angela and stopped behind Derek who still didn't notice her.

"I'm sorry to say that, but I think that Lily won't be able to do anything. Face it, Angela won and Lily lost"

"Over my dead body", Lily thought angrily.

She turned Derek around, grabbed his collar and pulled him towards her, her lips meeting his. One of her hands released its hold on his shirt and ran through his hair, making it easier for her to deepen the kiss.

Derek had to grab the dining table for support, his mind trying to recover from the shock. The shock, however, faded quickly as he felt her hot tongue exploring his mouth and her body pressed tightly to his, so he could feel each of her curves through her clothes.

She broke slowly the kiss, slightly breathless, but didn't draw away. "You were saying?" she whispered.

Derek stared at her for a moment before giving her a lopsided grin "stay here" he whispered back.

"Angela! We need to talk!" he called, leaving the kitchen with Jamie behind him..

The room suddenly erupted with loud wolf-whistling and cheering. Lily turned around to see Bred, Janet, Luke, and their friends standing near Julie with smug faces.

She rolled her eyes and sat down next to Jess that looked at her half-surprised and half-amused.

"I can't believe you just did that" she said.

"Me neither" Lily muttered back.

"Never thought you had it in you, Evans" Sirius smirked. Lily looked at him and James with surprise. She didn't even notice they were there.

"It was worth the wait, that's for sure" laughed Janet.

"I never thought I'll live the day to see Lily kissing a guy without causing him a physical pain" Bred remarked.

Lily blushed at this as the others laughed cheerfully.

"11:09 the official break up" Jamie announced, entering the kitchen.

Julie wrote it down, and circled it with her pen. "All done" she smiled.

"Who won?"

"Won what?" James looked around him with a puzzled expression

Julie looked at the list of names and underlined them "the closest who got to the true hour is…" her eyes ran along the names until she spotted the one she was looking for. She looked up and smiled "Remy"

Everybody looked shocked at Remus who blushed slightly.

"You too?" VI' asked surprised.

"Well I…"

"I can't believe it" Lily shook her head, giving Remus a disbelieve look. "I thought that you were supposed to be the mature person around here"

"Sorry Lily" he looked at her apologetic "but frankly, it's one of the only interesting things that goes around here"

"And who are you to speak of mature actions, when you gave those two demons permission to lock us in a broom closet?" Vi' glared at her.

Lily just smiled and shrugged "it still worked. You two were getting together so slow, hell could freeze ten times before you two would even get some courage to kiss each other"

There were snickering and chuckles at the background when suddenly there was a loud slam of a door and a furious yell "YOU!"

Lily turned around to see Angela, with red face looking at her with rage.

"You…" her voice was unsteady from hatred "this is your entire fault… you're the one who made him break up with me, didn't you?"

"An ugly dwarf like me?" asked Lily sarcastically.

"Why you-" Angela walked to Lily and raised her hand to slap her, but Lily quickly caught her wrist and the second one, who came to finish the job of the first.

She moved Angela's arm above her head and tightened it behind her, so now Angela's back was facing her.

"If you didn't notice, Angela" Lily said calmly "you've got audience"

Angela's eyes moved from on face to another "let me go, you bitch" she said through gritted teeth and struggled to release her wrists.

"I will, if you'll calm down"

After seeing that Angela won't be doing anything hasty she released her and sat back down.

"I'll suggest you'll leave before humiliating yourself any further" she added coldly.

"You heard her, get out of our house" Julie called when Angela didn't move at all.

"Yeah, have a nice life and don't bother to come to visit" Jamie added.

Angela huffed and raised her chin high "fine. Jessica, pack my bags!" she ordered.

Jess smiled broadly at her "they're waiting for you outside"

"Bye bye" Julie waved.

"Hmph!" Angela cast a last look full of loath at Lily before leaving the kitchen.

"Ladies and gems, Angela has left the building!" Jamie yelled.

Lily laughed when people around her cheered loudly, when suddenly someone turned her around and kissed her.

The noise around her turned from cheering to cat-calls and snickering.

"Oh guys, c'mon! Can't you wait at least until we leave the room?" Jess asked.

Lily broke the kiss and looked up at Derek's eyes that were full of laughter and something else. She smiled slyly when he winked secretly at her and turned to look at Jess, arching one eyebrow.

"Do you mind to hurry up?"

People continued laughing exiting the room, but Lily and Derek didn't wait for the last person to leave before continuing snogging.

"I forgot how much I liked your kisses" he murmured against her lips. Lily chuckled softly "I'm glad you remembered" she leaned her forehead on his, looking at his eyes with a slight mischievous smile "is it just me, or are you raising the price that I need to pay to make you dump those cats that you're bringing here?"

"So you've noticed?" he smiled. "I think my next request will be… lets see…what do you think about a dinner under the full moon…" he bent his head and started kissing lightly her neck "…with a 'desert'"

Lily closed her eyes when she felt pleasant chills running down her spine "sounds really cliché" she said almost breathlessly "and don't push your luck. If you want a 'desert' you better call back your ex-cat or else I'm going to practice on you my 'knockout' hit if you even dare to try"

Derek chuckled and cupped her chick with his palm "I thought you'd say that. And trust me; I don't want to test your patience"

Lily smiled and her eyes fell suddenly on the door. Her smile disappeared immediately and she leaned with her elbow on the table "do you need any help, Potter?" she asked coldly.

James was leaning on the doorway and looking at the scene in front of him with mixture of puzzlement, surprise and a slight disgust. "No" he answered just as coldly.

"If you don't mind, we're quite busy here and we'll appreciate if you leave" Derek gave him half a smile.

James nodded, still not taking his eyes from Lily who returned his gaze with a blank look. He suddenly smirked at her, which looked more like a sneer "you really are a girl full of surprises, aren't you Evans?"

"And it's your business. Because…?" she asked with raised eyebrows.

James rolled his eyes and left without another word.

Lily looked at him through narrow eyes. She didn't like his tone one bit.

"Say, Derek? How fast can you get me a hunting gun?"

"A hunting gun?" he asked with surprise.

Lily shook her head "never mind. I think I'll use poison instead, it doesn't leave marks and I can make it as painful as I want"

A/N: weird ending… but what ever. Well, I was just thinking, that because it took me so long to update, I thought to give you guys a bonus:

Each reader who wants to know a certain detail about what will happen in future chapters can ask and I promise that I'll answer. BUT, I'll answer one question only. So if you're going to bump me with questions, I would answer only one.

But do me a favor and don't ask too general. Like: 'what's going to happen next?' Or something like that.

Anyway, here are some details on Lily (take it as an extra bonus :))

-just to make it clear: LILY WEAR HER DESGUISE ALL THE TIME EXCEPT WHEN SHE GOES TO SWIM WITH MELL OR WHEN THE SPELL FADES

OUT.

- Lily and Derek won't be a couple after this chapter. If they wanted to be together they would have gone out years ago. Lily doesn't date guys, she finds it useless and from her experience from hanging around with Derek, Bred, Janet, Luke and a few people more she believes that the only thing that a man wants from her is sex. So you can understand what Bred meant when he said that many tried to kiss her.

-Lily hate James. And I mean, really really hate him. And James see her as a good punching bag. So you can guess that it's going to take a lot of things to happen to change that between them, to something that is even close to liking.

-I'm going to focus most of this fic on Lily's life. I won't be describing Vi's or Jess' relationships, unless it's important for the plot. Sorry.

So all is left for you to do is REVIEW…
