i had handed in the dress design that day.

i walked into the apartment, extremely stressed.

i was about to go straight to my room when i saw two random people sitting on the couch. one man with curly brown hair and a girl with bright blue hair.

i stopped and looked at them with a weirded out expression on my face.

"hey" pete said, walking in in a t shirt and black skinny jeans.

"is this her?" the blue haired girl asked, examining me up and down with her icy blue eyes.

"yea" pete said, smiling, which made me confused.

"she's cute" the brown haired guy said unenthusiastically, earning a whack on the shoulder from the blue haired girl.

"t-thanks?" i said.

"she speaks!" the girl exclaimed, clapping her hands.

"this is joe and landry" pete said.

"well i have homework so i should really-" i started but pete stopped me

"nooo you have to stay in here and play 20 questions with us" pete said, holding up a bottle of vodka.

"uh no"

"pleaseeee!" landry begged "im always the only girl!"

"how do you play?" i asked, sitting on the couch next to landry.

"its literally just our way of finding out if you're a cereal killer or not" joe said

"okay i guess..."

"question number one" pete said

"when's your birthday?"

"next thursday" i said

"who's your favorite musician?"

i hesitated

"you guys can't make fun of me" i said

"spill" landry said

"carrie underwood" i said, making everyone laugh

"wow" landry said

"she's coming to perform on my birthday actually. i wish i could go" i said

"why can't you?" joe asked

"i'm broke and using all my cash for fashion school" i said

"yikes"

"yeah"
