Calm before the storm, mostly.

I can actually remember not a lot after this. I just remember Drey caught us nearly naked and he was ecstatic. If I remember correctly, the idiot managed to "bang that hot chick", which 100% was Brianna. I also remember Phil scolding him for something before we managed to sneak into Brianna's room and get some of her older clothes, something something Phil said about clothes for donation, so I could actually not sleep naked.

After that, it was very awkward. In the morning I had to reintroduce myself to Phillip's parents, and endure mocking from his sister. At least she helped me get dressed and even offered makeup lessons if needed be, which was surprisingly sweet. Then I had to eventually get home, and my grandparents were... Divided on how to deal with this. Grandpa wanted to press charges against Kyle and his cohorts, while grandma just wanted to "focus on my well being", which translated into very old fashioned lady etiquette and some bonding over.

But that's not the focus, right? Amber's party was on a tuesday. Yes, that's a weird day to throw a party, but she's moderately rich, so who cares? And so that meant that I could only skip wednesday's day of school. Which also meant that I was on a thursday, dressing outdated and ill fitting women's clothes from my mother. At least these ones were from her younger days, I looked like a college girl with this, a respectable one at that!

But this hasn't stopped the gossips or the several talks I received from teachers, hell, even Mr. Aarons, senior perverted coach gave me a stern talk. He's got no cred! Anyway, he's a story for another day, as I was going to the pharmacy after class so I could see if the subtype of my pill wasn't something to worry about.

"So, you okay we don't go with ya?"

"No worries Drey. You got a game to get ready, don't ya? Coach's gonna be mad if you don't go."

"I sometimes forget that. Anyway, catch you later Mari."

"See you tomorrow Marina!"

I wave off Phil and Drey as the muscular easygoing jock merely walked back to school after ruffling my hair, while Phil got on his bike and started his cycling back home, and I still have the image of him trekking along his bike because he got tired 3 minutes in. I snorted and waited for none other than my new gal pal in Amber, whom was not alone this time.

"Heya Mari! Ready to hit the pharm? Hope you don't mind sticking around later! The girls saw how your clothes don't fit you... And they really felt sorry for what happened to you. I kind of also feel responsible, so I am helping in splurge for your new wardrobe."

"You didn't need to do this Amber! Like, it wasn't your fault. Kyle is the one to blame here."

"Don't worry bout that! Daddy gives me 2000 dollars of allowance, so don't worry. We can spend 400 on you girl. Anyway, girls, introduce yourselves!"

Amber did a little wave motion and introduced her friends, which I thought would be more, but after she left the cheerleader squad, her friend group kind of dwindled. There were 3 girls and I remember them well, since they kind of became my support group later on.

The first to introduce herself was Giullia - comes from New Jersey, has an italian accent, nobody knows if it's fake or not, but nobody contests it. Is still on the cheerleader squad. She's the shortest in the group, with short jet black hair and the style of a fashionista. I came to know later she's quite bitchy, but not exactly in the worst way possible. She describes her figure as graceful and superbo, but in reality she's just short and petite.

Next came Francine, Fran for short. Is the school's resident theater kid and currently doing a good job in order into getting her dream job - moving to LA and getting into Hollywood. Luckily for her, she's a real stunner, with the natural blonde look and everything figure wise - decent bust, toned ass and she even has a natural more next to her lips! The reincarnation of Marilyn Monore herself. Her biggest flaw? She had a... Penchant for being a deviant in most senses of the word, and her grades were middling, but her acting was incredible.

Sarah was and is, aside from Amber, the one I am closest with out the three. She's also hot and rich, but she was more focused on just living through life, almost like a modern day hippie, if said hippies had plastic surgeries and intended to be internet famous. Sarah had a huge hunger for video games of all things and due to her brother, she also loved to do films, short ones, so she got into making videos. Yeah, she's still working on a brand, but she became a full time vlogger after high school, and it panned well for her. It also helps that she also has an Instagram full of thirst traps of herself?

After the introductions, Amber got us into her actual car, and not her father's one. The small Korean conversible was completing the stereotype for Amber, but I never commented on it, especially when she was so good to me. We ended on the pharmacy quickly, and the group hopped off, with me fidgeting a bit of nervousness, what if my pill subtype was something slutty? Would the girls judge me and-

"You're the girl from tuesday, right? Your result came in today. I was actually supposed to contact you, but you left no contact information... Anyway, Mari, right?"

"Y-yes. It's me. Is it serious?"

"Oh no. It's a tricky one, but more manageable. It's confirmed with a 95% accuracy that the subtype is a..."
