Lily throws her backpack onto the floor of her room and flops face-first into her bed. After a muffled groan into her pillow, she rolls over, grabs her phone, and starts rapidly texting.
Lily (texting Sanguinella):
Bro
I just had the most awkward car ride of my life
With Astera
Like????
A few moments later, the typing bubbles pop up, then disappear, then return. Finally:
Sanny🩸 :
ooooOOOH??? 👀👀👀
What happened what happened
Lily:
I asked what he does outside of school
He said "sports"
Then I asked if he's dating anyone or interested in anyone
And this man IMMEDIATELY changed the subject 😭😭
Sanny🩸:
😭😭😭 omg he deflected huh
That's shady af
You think he's hiding something?? 👁️👁️
Lily:
That's what I'm SAYING
Like…
He's always polite, always a little distant
But I swear I caught him looking nervous for a second
Sanny🩸:
He's the captain of the Blooming Fire Guard right?
That's lowkey so poetic
Like he's literally blooming and hiding fire at the same time 😭
Lily:
STOPPPP THAT'S TOO ACCURATE
Sanny🩸:
Okay but real talk
You think he likes someone?? 👀
Or is he just… like that?
Lily:
I don't know…
Something tells me it's someone he's not supposed to like
Maybe someone in HQ? Maybe…
Sanny🩸:
…Maybe Eris?
Lily
GIRL BYE 😭😭😭
Sanny🩸:
I'm just saying… the plot thickens
Lily:
My life is not a drama anime
…right???
The typing bubbles pop up again.
Sanny🩸:
You're literally the Universal Princess
Your life is LITERALLY a drama anime with eldritch space gods
Lily (laughing out loud in real life):
You got me there
