[indent][indent][indent][color=lightgray]During her months here at Kings Academy, Sunshine just couldn’t get used to all of the assemblies. Granted this one had all of them cramped in a classroom with some awkward staff member, but still. Why did the administration want to try and control every little thing about their senior year? We’re the students really that bad? Sure, Sunshine had heard stories. The Halloween party, Kavi’s nose getting broken at homecoming, the baseball bat to the car incident. Okay, sure. Kings Academy's class of 2019 could use a little supervision. But getting them to bring their friends instead of significant others? 

Stupid. 

Leaning to her right where Shawna was sitting, Sunshine couldn’t help but scoff. [color=7ea7d8]”They do realize just how stupid they sound everytime they do this, right?”[/color] 

[color=e81b00]“You would think that,”[/color] Shawna answered, [color=e81b00]“And yet it still keeps happening.”[/color]

And this was the stupidest one yet. This was supposed to be a coming out party. A big romantic spot where Shawna could officially come out to the world and embrace the girl that she was falling for.

Instead, she was going to be expected to take a friend? Bullshit. Sunshine was a friend. Granted, she was more than a friend. But still. The relationship was less than a month old. It should still count. 

[color=e81b00]“I will say that this is a new level of stupid. I mean, not that I gave a shit about Valentine’s Day before, but even back then, I’d say this was asinine. Now? Now, I’m just kinda pissed,"[/color] Shawna admitted.

[color=7ea7d8]"I wouldn’t say that it’s the [i]worst[/i] one, but probably the dumbest. If they think that all of our problems come from romantic relationships they’re deadass wrong.”[/color] Rolling her eyes as she stood up, Sunshine grabbed her bag off the back of the chair while waiting for Shawna to grab her things. 

[color=7ea7d8]"I had our outfits almost planned out and everything,”[/color] she groaned. [color=7ea7d8]”Who would I even take? I mean, there’s Chanel, but she’s probably going with Julie or April.”[/color] 

[color=e81b00]“Awwww, you had planned outfits for us?”[/color] Shawna asked as she grabbed her bookbag and followed Sunshine’s lead to get the heck out of the classroom. [color=e81b00]“Probably too classy-looking for this school anyway, hun. I mean, given the uniforms, I know that is not a high bar, but still. I’m sure we can find some place fun for them.”[/color]

The past couple weeks continued to see a noticeable uptick in Shawna’s mood. The fact that she was wearing the school uniform willingly again was proof of that. The new relationship was easing into itself, and things were being taken slow this time. It seemed to work out. There was no rush to get into things like there was with her previous target of affection. With Sunshine, there was no worry about that sort of thing.

It was why Shawna wasn’t that worried when Sunshine quickly trotted out Chanel as a potential target for the dance. It made sense. They were both on the cheer squad, they might as well tag team for this event too. However, it did throw Shawna’s lack of options into sharp focus.

[color=e81b00]“Fuck, I don’t even know who I’d line up for this sort of thing. Least you got those cheer hookups,”[/color] she told Sunshine. [color=e81b00]“I mean, I could ask Ari, at least then I know the drinks will flow. But she’s probably going with one of her other friends. Kavan or Archer or something. Then there’s Chrissie, but I don’t know if she wants any reminders of what happened with Jason… I don’t know… maybe Carter? Do dealers count as friends?”[/color]  

Sunshine couldn’t help but laugh. [color=7ea7d8]”I mean…. He’s better than some of the other options, and I’m pretty sure drug dealers [i]can[/i] count as friends. Though to what extent, I don’t know.”[/color] Taking a moment to think, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes again. [color=7ea7d8]”You know - this really, really blows. Like… I had [i]plans.[/i] I’m sure a lot of people did. Now we just gotta toss them and do platonic bullshit.”[/color] 

[color=e81b00]“That’s one thing you learn about this school, Cookie. It doesn’t give a sweet fuck about your plans,”[/color] Shawna confirmed. [color=e81b00]“Although, another thing I’ve learned, is that there will be someone foolish enough to have a separate party at their own place to make up for the school’s terrible ones. So I’m sure we won’t have to worry about platonic bullshit for too long.”[/color] The former honors student grinned at Sunshine. [color=e81b00]“Worse case, we can have our own little soiree back at my place after.”[/color]

[color=7ea7d8]”I freaking hope so. No doubt that they’ll want us to freaking leave room for Jesus and all that other shit,”[/color] she said, waving her right hand dismissively. [color=7ea7d8]”Oh well. It is what it is. I just like to complain. I’m gonna go and see if I can find Chanel real quick before class.”[/color] Doing her best to balance on her tiptoes, Sunshine placed a quick kiss on the other girl’s cheek. [color=7ea7d8]”I’ll catch you later?”[/color]

[color=e81b00]“Not if I catch you first,”[/color] Shawna said, a slight blush appearing on her face. She was getting better at controlling it now, but it still appeared under Sunshine’s touch. [color=e81b00]“And for the record, liking to complain is another thing we have in common. So, just a heads up on that.”[/color] Shawna gave Sunshine a finger gun that she thought was appropriate. Knowing her though, it probably just came off as lame. However, it would have to do as the two went their separate ways for class.
