[color=silver][indent][indent]MacKenna slipped the key into the lock of apartment 34 on Maplewood Drive and opened the door. She turned to her saddened cousin and gave her a reassuring smile before letting her pass her into the apartment. Without a word, she led her cousin through the living room and towards her room. Once inside, the dark-haired girl threw the bags she had been carrying for Lottie on her bed and gestured for her cousin to do the same with her bags.

[color=7ab085]“We don’t have to talk about it… If you don’t want to,”[/color] she began carefully. She knew her cousin had always been a bit more fragile than herself, and it didn’t really help that she had inherited her father’s word vomit. She bit her lower lip almost as to stop from saying anything stupid, so she changed the subject. [color=7ab085]“I don’t know if you want to sleep in here or with Keeks but I’ll make a bed for you either way,”[/color] she smiled, bending down to pull out the mattress she kept under her bed for these kinds of situations.

[color=magenta]“Thanks, babe. Really,”[/color] Charlotte reiterated, following her cousin’s lead in placing down the rest of her bags next to the pile MacKenna had brought in and taking a seat at the corner of the bed.

[color=7ab085]“Oh! On some whole other topic!”[/color] the Asian girl said in between her grunts as she sorted through the boxes of shoes and bags that obscured what she was looking for. [color=7ab085]“This probation stuff... What does uncle W say about it? Can he do something you think?”[/color] she asked, finally emerging from under her bed with the extra mattress. [color=7ab085]“And, shit, what did your coach say?”[/color] she rambled on, sitting herself on the edge of her bed unrolling Lottie’s mattress on the floor next to her.

[color=magenta]“I haven't talked to Coach Jeanie yet, but you know how Dad gets..."[/color] Lottie told her cousin, rolling her eyes at the memory of her father’s stern phone call. [color=magenta]"He blew up my phone asking about what had happened and if I was there, and after I fed him some bullshit story about how I wasn't even at the party he told me he'd get on it. Thank God I was with Kiki inside the cabin all night, because there is literally no trace of me at that party. Too bad we can't say the same thing about you…"[/color] the blonde commented with a mischievous little smirk. [color=magenta]"How does it feel to be Meadow University's most desired bachelorette and having guys fight for your heart like old school gladiators?"[/color]

Mac, who had been rummaging through her closet looking for bedding, flipped her hair back dramatically, resting her chin on her shoulder looking back at Lottie with a smirk. [color=7ab085]“Oh how the tables have turned…”[/color] she laughed, bending down to put the fresh sheet on the mattress. Of course, she was talking about how all of the boys and girls of Crown Heights, their hometown, used to always chase after Lottie, and Mac was the one on the sidelines.

[color=magenta]“Yeah, tell me about it…”[/color] the blonde chortled in amusement. She knew any other girl would probably be jealous at the attention Mac was getting-- or, more importantly, [i]who’s[/i] attention she was getting. But Lottie couldn’t be jealous even if she tried. About time worthy guys finally took notice of how amazing her cousin was and wanted to woo her! God only knew how much she deserved the world and more. [color=magenta]“But don’t try and skirt around the question, babe! What’s your take on all of it?”[/color]

As she smoothed the sheet free of any wrinkles, Mac sighed. [color=7ab085]“Honestly it’s mostly just annoying…”[/color] she looked up at her cousin with a frown. [color=7ab085]“They both are acting like children… Like I’m some sort of… Trophy or some dumb shit.”[/color]. Truth be told, she felt like a clichéd basic bitch from a Netflix rom-com. But the way Cassian and Theo acted at the bash was not something she was used to, and it irritated her more than anything else. Another sigh escaped her as she got up to sit next to Lottie, resting her head on her cousin’s shoulder. [color=7ab085]“If you only knew how many times I wished this would happen when we were growing up…”[/color] she commented, staring at nothing in particular. [color=7ab085]“Now… I don’t know if I like it.”[/color] she continued.

Charlotte wrapped her arms around her cousin. She could tell this whole Cass VS Theo was starting to overwhelm Mac, so she wanted to return the favor and help the girl sort out her feelings. Not to mention that inserting herself in her cousin’s drama was an excellent distraction from her own failed relationship. [color=magenta]"Is it because you don't like either of them? Or does it just make you feel weird because you're not used to the attention and all that?"[/color]

When she was let go from the embrace Mac slumped back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. [color=7ab085]“I don’t know…”[/color] she closed her eyes, deep in thought. [color=7ab085]“I guess it’s a bit of both?”[/color] she turned her head so she could look at Lottie. [color=7ab085]“Cassian is very hot… But there’s something that just bothers me about how he carries himself-- plus, he’s a smug asshole! On the other hand, Theo is just so hard to figure out, but he has always made me feel like. Good.”[/color] Mac grabbed a pillow and covered her face with it. [color=7ab085]“And now the whole junior class probably hates me... “[/color] her frustrated voice emanated from under the pillow.

Charlotte couldn’t help but roll her eyes. [color=magenta]“Who the hell is going to hate you?”[/color] she questioned, grabbing the decorative pillow nearest to her and slamming it across the one Mac had on her face for her completely baseless comment. [color=magenta]“You weren’t the one who leaked the video to the school, right?”[/color]

Ripping the pillow off her face, Mac sat up again. [color=7ab085]“No… but I was heavily featured! Whatever, it’s not like I actually care what people here think. It’s just that Dad has thrown a hissy fit like he always does. I guess it has me stressed out...”[/color] she admitted.

[color=magenta]“Okay, then let’s move back to a better topic: the brave warriors after your virgin little heart,”[/color] Lottie jokingly interjected as she perched herself on Mac’s stomach, hoping that the change in subject would entertain and distract them both from the current stresses they were facing. [color=magenta]“If you were to pick one of those boys to pop your cherry, which one would you choose and why?”[/color]

[color=7ab085]“Okay, first of all... [i]Gross.[/i]”[/color] she made a face. [color=7ab085]“Second of all! Who said I even want one of them to… ‘pop my cherry’?”[/color] she huffed. [color=7ab085]“Especially after the stunt they pulled!”[/color] she became quiet. When she actually thought about it, she couldn’t help but imagining Cassian at one of his swim competitions, shirtless… In a speedo... As quickly as the image entered her mind the girl shook her head to get rid of it.

[color=magenta]“Don’t be such a prude, MacKenna!”[/color] Lottie scolded her cousin, lightly elbowing the Asian girl’s side. [color=magenta]“I would give [i]anything[/i] to have a big daddy like Cassian fighting over me like he did for you. Don’t get me wrong: I absolutely [i]adore[/i] Kiki to death. That’s my man and nobody can change that. But have you [i]seen[/i] Cassian Lee?! I swear I would get reconstructive surgery down there so he could pop my cherry all over again and I can brag to everyone about it.”[/color]

[color=7ab085]“[b]Ew[/b]…”[/color] was the only thing Mac could get out after her cousin’s salacious speech. [color=7ab085]“Like I said, they both have qualities that could justify giving them a second chance...”[/color] she said, letting out a groan while smoothing out her baby hairs that had escaped her ponytail. 

[color=magenta]“Here’s my advice-”[/color] the blonde offered, taking on a serious tone now. [color=magenta]“Give both of them a shot. You’re a very single, very independent young woman with no ties to either of them and absolutely nothing to lose. I say, you go on at least one date with each of them, get to know them separately and all that, and then based on that you can either pick the one you vibed better with or send both them on their merry way. Sometimes first impressions can be misleading, so you get a better chance of seeing someone’s true intentions in private.”[/color]

[color=7ab085]“I have a better question! Who would you pick for your fair chamber maiden?”[/color] 

Charlotte turned her face so she could stare at her cousin. [color=magenta]“What’s a chamber maiden?”[/color] she asked blankly, visibly confused by the question.

[color=7ab085]“Nevermind…”[/color] Mack waved her hand in the air, rolling her eyes. [color=7ab085]“Maybe you’re right…”[/color] she mused. [color=7ab085]“I’ll give them both a chance to get into this Asian persuasion!”[/color] she declared, laughing at herself for how ridiculous she sounded. 

[color=magenta]“That’s the spirit!”[/color] Lottie cheerfully cried out in encouragement, laughing right along with Mac and shifting her position around the bed so that she could effectively tackle the dark-haired girl. [color=magenta]“Now go to the kitchen and make me something to eat! I’m your guest in this place, and I am [i]starving[/i]!”[/color]

[color=7ab085]“Fuck you!”[/color] she cackled as she got up, leading their way into the kitchen.[/indent][/indent][/color]
