Angela was rich. On both sides, her father was and her mother too. But Lottie. Lottie was 'rich rich'.
In addition to the driver, she had a maid. And her house was gigantic, she even had a lake as a garden. There were about ten rooms just for her and her parents. There were two living rooms, and all the bedrooms had a connected bathroom. The kitchen was literally the size of the floor of her house. And, she also had a chef, which puzzled Angela because of Lottie's addiction to KFC. Lottie loved all kinds of junk food. She swore by it when she had a chef. It's crazy.
Finally after Lottie made her popcorn, the two settled into one of the living rooms with a giant couch.
And the fights started as soon as the taller girl clicked on Netflix.
"Lottie I'm serious." Angela said in a menacing hiss from the other end of his giant couch.
"What's the deal with horror movies ?" She asked, clutching her bowl of popcorn defensively.
"We are in a big house, alone, it is dark, we are isolated. I'm not watching this." She explained by taking a scoop of ice cream.
"It's not that scary." She groaned as she pressed the play button.
"Scream 4's opening scene follows exactly the same pattern." She says completely terrified seeing the movie start playing on Lottie's huge TV.
"It's just a movie." She retorted by throwing a popcorn at the blonde's head.
"We're just watching the beginning then." She smiles mischievously while eating the popcorn. "If it's too scary it's up to me to choose the film."
"Deal."
It's not that scary...
Why did he let the little boy go alone ?
The yellow coat is cute.
Now he's running after the boat.
There's something in the sewer.
No.
No. No. No. No.
A clown.
"Hi Georgie."
Angela squealed before jumping up next to Lottie. "What. The. Fuck. Is. This !"
"It." She replied simply by continuing to chew her popcorn.
She squeezed Lottie's arm very hard and continued to squeal against her shoulder.
"Have you ever read the book ? It's Stephen King." She said condescendingly.
"Are you imitating me ? Don't imitate me." The blonde responded by digging her fingers into her skin.
Lottie giggled and tried to land a popcorn in her mouth by tossing it in the air.
She missed miserably.
Angela laughed and nudged hee mockingly. "You really suck when you try to impress me-"
"Look at the screen."
The blonde turned and the clown ate the child's arm. Her eyes widened in horror and she screamed at the top of her lungs.
She jumped back into Lottie's arms and the bowl of popcorn flew away.
Lottie snored at her reaction and Angela immediately pinched her arm angrily.
"Stop pinching me !" Lottie exclaimed while rolling up her sleeve revealing her forearm with a lots of red marks. "Look what you're doing to me !"
"You deserve it." Angela rolled her eyes before pinching her upper arm.
Lottie gasped and brought her hand to her arm with an offended expression on her face. "You bitch !"
"You what ?!" Angela opened her mouth wide before tilting her head to the side.
"You heard me..." She tilted her head to the side too with a smirk. "Bitch."
"I'm gonna fucking kill you-" She pinched her with her two fingers on the hip and twisted her skin.
Lottie hissed in pain before pinching her back.
"How dare you ?!" She exclaimed holding her arm in her hand.
"You pinch me at least five times a day !" She said raising her hands in front of her in defense.
"There's always a reason for me to pinch you, you don't have any !" Angela exclaimed in return as she grabbed Lottie's hands to lower them.
"Yesterday you pinched me for existing !"
----------
"Do you want me to be killed ?" Angela exclaimed as she followed Lottie down the long, dark, scary hallway of her house.
"Stop following me." She rolled her eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes at me." She responded by continuing to follow her.
"We're in the dark !" Lottie whispered-yelled as she opened her bedroom door.
"I'm serious, you made me watch Scream. Now if a killer breaks in, I'll hand you over to him." She says entering the room quickly.
"You can't stay in my room-" Lottie mumbled as she grabbed a sweater that was lying on the floor and threw it on her desk chair.
Angela sighed before jumping into Lottie's huge bed. "Why ?"
"Because it's not appropriate." She whispered as she tried to pull Angela by her foot to get her out.
"For God's sake Lottie. Your hands all over me too ? Was that appropriate ?" She groaned as she rolled over in bed and covered herself in the covers.
The taller girl froze in place with her cheeks burning.
Angela snapped her out of her thoughts by only sticking her head out. "Go sleep on the couch."
"Why me ? This is my bed !" She exclaimed as she pulled the blanket off to slip into bed too.
Angela started kicking her and Lottie groaned in pain. "What's the matter with you always wanting to hit me !"
"Stay away from me." Angela replied nudging her shoulder. "Safety distance."
She threw a pillow at her, Lottie sighed shaking her head. "What the fuck safety distance are you talking about ?"
"Safety distance, you heard me." She grumbled as she turned herself into the bed to be with her back to the brunette.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay longer ?" Lottie asked sadly when Alfred pulled up in front of the Montgomery house.
Angela smiled and turned to her. "I'm going to help my brother clean up the whole mess."
"I can carry your bag." She replied as she started to open the car door.
The blonde unbuckled her belt and stopped Lottie from moving by taking her by the shoulder. "No it's okay."
"But-" She chewed her bottom lip. "You always want me to carry your bag."
"And you always complain about having to carry my bag." Angela chuckled and shook her head.
"I'll carry your bag." She said seriously as she finally opened the door to storm out of the car.
Angela frowned and looked at Alfred with curiosity marked on her face. "What's the deal with her ?"
He shrugged his shoulders with a smirk.
She huffed and got out of the car too and catch up with the girl who had already walked down the path to the house.
Lottie knocked on the door and no one answered.
Angela pulled out her keys before opening the door. The two entered the house which was immersed in silence.
The blonde immediately went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of medicine. Lottie silently followed her through the house and Angela led her into the bathroom.
They found themselves in front of Timothy who was sleeping in the bathtub with a Vodka bottle in his hand. Angela sighed and pulled him up and put her fingers on his neck to check his pulse.
Lottie wasn't sure if she should be worried or not. That Angela's first instinct was that one. But what was sure was that her heart sank in her chest when she saw the blonde stroking her brother's hair protectively trying to gently wake him up.
"Lottie, you know where my room is." She mumbled, not taking her eyes off her brother. "Can you put my bag um there please ?"
"Yeah sure." She answered as she came out of the bathroom.
She heard the footsteps move away and allowed herself to shed a few tears completely exhausted. She hated seeing her brother like this.
She sniffled and helped Timothy up, then put his arm around her shoulders. "Come on, it's okay."
He staggered to the couch with his sister's help and she laid him down before giving him some water. And took a xanax before placing a kiss on his forehead and letting him rest.
------------
"You should go now."
Lottie looked briefly at Angela. She seemed in no condition to be left alone.
"Maybe I can help you with something ? Are you going to clean up this big house all by yourself ?" She asked pointing at behind the blonde.
"Yeah, I'm used to it now." She shrugged in response. "Thanks for last night though. It was cool."
Once again, Lottie let her guard down at the slightest nice thing coming from Angela. "Really ? You looked really scared-"
"Alfred is waiting for you." She added, crossing her arms with cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"Right." Lottie sighed as she turned to the car, which was waiting for her behind. "I'm just a little sad that I can't spend more time with you."
Angela punched her playfully in the shoulder. "Stop it Matthews."
"Can I hug you ?"
"No."
The blonde slammed the door and Lottie slumped her shoulders in disappointment.
After five short seconds the door opened again and her face lit up.
"When is your pep rally already ?" Angela asked her gaze glued to her phone.
"Oh." She looked away awkwardly, she had gotten carried away for nothing. "I think it is, Friday. I think it's Friday."
"Perfect. Would you need your jacket ? Or do I have to wear it there too ?" She said looking up from the phone with a raised eyebrow.
"I'll give you my jersey." Lottie smiled. "To go with my jacket."
Angela bit her lip with a playful smile. "I love that practice outfit on you. It's so hot."
Lottie blushed from head to toe.
"I'm kidding, you still look like a clumsy pole standing around." She chuckled before bringing her phone to her ear. "Bye Matthews."
------------
"Hey Montgomery !"
Angela closed her locker to face Jackie.
"Hi." She smiled as she closed her tube of lip balm. "What do you want ?"
"I wanted to know if you'll be at the game after the pep rally ?" She asked with a smile, clasping her hands and leaning closer.
Angela smirked and matched her energy by crossing her arms and leaning against her locker door from the side.
"Of course, I am a supportive student of her classmates at this school."
"Oh yeah that's right." She responded by placing her hand on her upper arm before squeezing it lightly and making a falsely involved look. "You care about us so much."
"So much." She insisted exaggeratedly, shaking her head.
Jackie chuckled as she stroked Angela's skin with her thumb. "If I score a goal in this match, you give me your number."
The blonde felt a warmth creep into her cheeks as Jackie's hazel eyes stared at her intently. "Sure. But with your walk already being so sassy, ââI can't wait to see how you run."
"Oh so you watch me walk ?" She raised her eyebrows, tilting her head to the side.
She licked her cheek, grabbing Jackie's hand and pulling it away. "Touché-"
"What are guys talking about ?"
Both turned their heads to see Lottie and Shauna who seemed to be waiting for them.
"The pep rally." Angela shrugged, only turning her chin in Lottie's direction. "Why ?"
The tallest girl didn't answer and trailed her hand behind her back to take her by the hips and bring her closer, glaring at Jackie.
She frowned, curious at Lottie's sudden behavior.
"We have math Jackie." Shauna said dryly grabbing her hand. "Are you coming ?"
"Bye Montgomery." She smiled as she turned one last time to Angela while being dragged down the halls by Shauna.
