Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

After the altercation that happened in the hallway between Kavi, Ariel, Ryland, and the Trinity, Chanel spent the following weeks completely avoiding most of those who were involved, the only exceptions being Julie and April. This was fairly easy to do since she hardly ever talked to them to begin with. And whenever anyone outside of the Trinity dared to bring it up or ask for her feelings on what Kavi called her, she simply shot them a look that made them regret asking. Chanel wanted to put the whole incident behind her and only focus on the things that were important for the remainder of the school year; Kavi Salvador and his love life surely weren't one of them. "I honestly don't even care anymore," Chanel had told her older brother Andre over the phone just a few days after it all went down. "Of course I was mad at first, who wouldn't be? It took everything in me not to turn around and show him what the fuck CoCo can really do. But if anything it just proves to me that Kavi is exactly the kind of guy I thought he was, and I don't need to risk losing my scholarships over someone that isn't even worth it. It's above me now."

Instead of focusing on the negative, Chanel put all of her energy into dance, cheerleading, fashion, and maintaining the solid friendships she'd already had. It was due to that last reason in particular that Chanel was actually excited about the Valentine's Day dance being focused more on friendships than romantic relationships; she'd have yet another opportunity to get all dressed up and hang out with one of her besties before they'd be forced to go their separate ways for college. Oh, it totally had nothing to do with the fact that Chanel was very much single and hadn't even been talking to anyone since the beginning of the school year. Definitely not.

As usual, Chanel had sat in seat at the center of the room when the Senior class was called to yet another assembly. The young woman thought it was odd that this one wasn't held in the auditorium, but understood the reasoning behind it. She'd passively listened to Mrs. Sanders speak as she scrolled through Instagram on her cell phone, and was one of the first students to leave the room when they were finally dismissed.

"Where in the hell did you go..." Chanel said aloud as her eyes scanned the crowd of students for Julie MacMillan. She gave up looking after a few minutes, and decided to just head off to lunch period alone. As she walked in the direction of the cafeteria, part of her wondered if she should just skip lunch altogether and smoke the last of Carter's gift in her car to avoid having to sit alone. Chanel was just about to give into this idea when she spotted none other than Sunshine Hollingsworth walking the halls not too far ahead of her; Chanel immediately quickened her pace, and didn't stop until she was walking right beside her longtime friend.

"Hey girl," Chanel said as she wrapped her arm around Sunshine's. "Mind if I sit with you at lunch?"

Like most of his peers, Kavan wasn't too thrilled when he and the rest of the Senior class were all ushered into Mrs. Sanders’ classroom during third period; he was particularly disgruntled because he was being forced to leave his creative writing class, where he'd been putting a few final touches onto one of his short stories. Nevertheless, he was happy to be seeing his boyfriend and friends once more that day; as usual, he took the empty seat right next to Archer, intertwined their fingers together, and rested their hands on the desk surface. "Here we go again..." Kavan muttered to the boy as he sat back in the seat and focused his attention on the middle aged woman who stood before them all.

As Kavan expected, the woman started off by talking about the Valentine's Day dance. However, much to the young man's surprise, she announced that they'd be taking a different approach than last time. As Kavan listened to Mrs. Sanders' ramble on about the details, he couldn't help but wonder who he'd even ask to the dance; he only really had a handful of friends, so there were a few obvious options that immediately came to mind such as Marisol, Sonny, or maybe even Carter or Ryland. When Archer mentioned something about finding someone to break up the power couple, Kavan let out a chuckle and smiled. "Maybe Sonny and Mari?"

Soon, the meeting came to an end and the students were set free; Kavan followed alongside his boyfriend as they exited the classroom and began their walk towards the cafeteria. It was only just after they'd left the room that Kavan heard a familiar voice call out his name; the pair stopped in their tracks and turned to see none other than Ariel walking in their direction. "Crazy idea," the young woman said, "but what do you say you and I go to this dance thing together?"

Kavan definitely wasn't expecting for someone to ask him to the dance, but in all honesty... it made things a whole lot easier for him. As soon as Archer left the two of them alone, Kavan offered the redhead a warm smile and shrugged his shoulders. "Of course, why not? I haven't really put much thought into what I'm gonna wear yet, if you wanted to color coordinate or something. Pretty sure my sister's gonna have a field day cutting my hair again."

"M Squared, huh?" Mona said with a half-smile as she reached for the bottle of tequila and gave the boy a quick nod in greeting. It was only after she'd poured herself a shot and knocked it back like a pro that she continued speaking. "Okay... I guess I can dig it. I hope you're not a lightweight though, Nate. Cause I'd really hate to see me and my girl over here drink you under the table." But just before Mona was about to suggest a drinking game of sorts to help liven things up, she suddenly felt a pair of thin arms wrap around her from behind. And seconds later, she felt a kiss being planted right on her cheek. Of course, Mona didn't even have to turn around to know that it was her best friend who'd found her by the liquor table. She grinned in delight and gently patted Junie MacMillan's hand; She was even going to invite her to take a quick shot or two before realizing what had been whispered into her ear. So instead, she offered her friend a knowing smirk before returning her attention to the tequila.

Having to stand and witness Junie and Jasper's attempt at being cordial made Ramona feel uneasy; It was no secret to her that the two didn't get along (to say the very least). It put her on edge... feeling like she was just moments away from having to be the person who stopped the two from clawing each other's eyes out. Having two good friends who didn't get along sucked, and Mona always made sure to let them know that... not that it had changed much of anything. And instead of making an attempt to have them say more than two or three words to each other like always, Mona simply downed another shot of tequila and silently wished for the universe to remove her from such an uncomfortable situation.

Thankfully, Junie was gone almost as quick as she'd appeared; Mona passed the bottle back to Jasper and watched with curious eyes as her friend made her way towards none other than Tiberius Delamar. She kept looking in that direction until the redhead had disappeared into the crowd, and it was after then that Mona felt the tension that'd been in the air dissipate. "Oh thank god that's over," Mona said, letting out a deep breath as she let her eyes sweep over the remaining bottles of liqour that sat on the table. "Maybe we could go play beer pong with Theo and them? If you guys want. But first... it's time to see what Nate's made of, yeah?" As Ramona spoke, she pulled a bottle of Peach Ciroc from the table, poured a shot, and shoved it into the boy's hand.

"Bottoms up!"
