[indent][color=ffe1eb]Most of her fellow students had already gone crying to mommy and daddy about the recent events at college following the Bash she had missed out on. Shiloh, however, had not yet. It wasn’t that she was afraid to, far from it, her parents probably wouldn’t give two shits about it. It was mostly that she just hadn’t gotten around to it yet. She instead was focusing on her classes and getting ready for the school year to start in full swing after recovering from her cold.

Now was probably as good as time as any, sitting at her desk beating her face for a night out with the boys. With any luck the night would involve more than just the boys… a girl would be nice, but time would tell. With dark eyeshadow applied to only one of her eyelids so far, Shi dialed her dad on Facetime and sat the phone back down on her desk, propped up at an angle towards her face.

After a few rings, the dark curly haired, middle-aged rocker answered. [color=80ff99][b]“Hey BettySketty, the hell you doing going a whole week without talking to your old man?!”[/b][/color] He greeted in his familiar, excitable tone. Wes Clay had a way of talking that made it seem like he was always just about to tell you the craziest, most outlandish news… when in reality he was just shooting the shit with you.

Shiloh turned from her mirror to smile into the phone, makeup brush in hand as she paused from application. [color=80e5ff][b]“Hey Pops, sorry, I’ve been... busy.”[/b][/color]

[color=80ff99][b]“Holy shit, I’ll say. Busy getting punched in the eye, looks like.”[/b][/color] Ah yes, glorious dad jokes. How would she ever survive a single semester without them?

Rolling her eyes, Shiloh shook her head and laughed. [color=80e5ff][b]“Woww you’re soooo funny. If you guys get tired of [i]Mutiny[/i], maybe you could go on the road as a comedy show instead.”[/b][/color] She replied sarcastically and went back to applying her makeup. [color=80e5ff][b]“Is mom around?”[/b][/color]

[color=80ff99][b]“Awe, what? Is unfunny dad not good enough?”[/b][/color] Wes replied with a mock pout.

[color=80e5ff][b]“Ha, no. It’s just that I wanted you both here to talk about this.”[/b][/color]


Wes’ jokester mood immediately shifted to paternal concern. [color=80ff99][b]“She’s at work still. Why? What’s going on, Betts?”[/b][/color]

[color=80e5ff][b]“Well, I don’t know if the school e-mailed you guys or whatever. But the whole junior class got put on academic probation because there was a big party last weekend and there was a fight and it all got recorded and posted by some narc.”[/b][/color]

Wes was quiet for a few moments. Long enough for Shiloh to look away from the mirror to check if he was actually upset or something. [color=80ff99][b]“Damn, did you at least have a lot of fun at the party?”[/b][/color] That was the dad she knew, all was well.

[color=80e5ff][b]“I wish… I didn’t go. I had strep throat, remember?”[/b][/color]

[color=80ff99][b]“Oh shit, right. What the hell then, and you’re being punished anyway?”[/b][/color]

[color=80e5ff][b]“Yeah. Well, kinda. I asked Theo about what academic probation even is, I thought it was a jock thing. But it seems like as long as I keep my grades up and remain on my ‘best behavior’ I should be fine.”[/b][/color] She said, air quoting best behavior. They both knew that Shiloh never had [i]best[/i] behavior, it just wasn’t in her DNA.

[color=80ff99][b]“Well, even if you don’t, Betts, you’ll be fine. I know that school was your top choice, but if they want to pull some kind of shit like that and actually expel students over parties they didn’t even go to, then there are plenty of other colleges out there that would be lucky to have you. Your mom and I support you no matter what, you know that.”[/b][/color]

[color=80e5ff][b]“Yeah, I figured. Which is why I didn’t rush to tell you like everyone else here seemed to do with their parents. With the amount of extra rich and annoying Karens and Kevins that are probably flooding the administrations inboxes, I doubt this is even going to last.”[/b][/color]

[color=80ff99][b]“Ugh, wouldn’t want that job.”[/b][/color] Wes replied jokingly and lit a cigarette on the other end of the line. [color=80ff99][b]“I see you’re taking the best behavior thing seriously... where you lookin’ to go cause trouble tonight?”[/b][/color]

Shiloh was finished with her [url=https://i.imgur.com/P7CCjBX.png]makeup[/url] now, twisting the mascara wand back into the tube. Looking back to her phone, she explained, [color=80e5ff][b]“Not sure, some bar or club. I’m meeting up with Theo and Connor in a few.”[/b][/color] Shi tapped her phone to see what time it was. [color=80e5ff][b]“Actually, I should probably hang up now, I still have to get dressed and head to the manor.”[/b][/color]

[color=80ff99][b]“Alright, be safe and knock ‘em dead, Black Betty.”[/b][/color]

[color=80e5ff][b]“Always, love you!”[/b][/color] Shiloh replied and hung up the call. Rushing towards her closet, she selected her [url=https://i.imgur.com/X3JnVJE.png]dress[/url] for the evening. It was a simple draped black fabric dress that hung close to her body and had cut outs exposing the sides of her stomach. She paired the dress with some bangle bracelets and topped the ensemble with her signature pink and black leather [url=https://i.imgur.com/M8OcMjU.png]jacket[/url]. An outfit wasn’t properly Shi-ified without a punk touch. Heading out the door, she sent out a text in the group chat with her, Theo, and Connor.
