The ring of the bell and the shuffle of bodies woke Vivio from her stupor.  She lifted her head and looked around her, blinking curiously even as her hands automatically moved to pack her school supplies away.  She could have<span style="font-style: italic">sworn</span>that there should be another ten minutes of class; she’d conditioned herself to wake up five minutes before the bell rang so she wouldn’t be left in these types of situations.  With a world-weary sigh, the blonde dropped her phone into her purse and got out of her seat, left hand snagging her notebook to bring with her.<br/><br/><span style="color: hotpink"> “Viviooooo!!”</span>An overeager voice directed her attention to the door where a familiar pink-haired girl was jumping up and down, trying to be seen over the masses of students leaving the room.<span style="color: hotpink"> “Viiiivvvvvzzzz!!!’</span><br/><br/>Vivio wondered what it said about Northern Liberties High that no one thought the scene weird.  Probably nothing good.<br/><br/><span style="color: deepskyblue">“What’s up, Aisha?”</span>She asked when she reached the door.  Normally they met in the cafeteria for lunch; it was rare for the other girl to run to her classroom to pick her up.  For the shorter girl to have done so… either Aisha had gossip to be shared<span style="text-decoration: underline">right away</span>or the other girl was up to something that probably needed Vivio’s cooperation.  The grin that split her friend’s face confirmed the blonde’s suspicion that whatever to come next would be unpleasant.<br/><br/><span style="color: hotpink"> “Weeellll…”</span>Aisha dragged the word out, looping her arm through Vivio’s in a familiar motion.  Usually, she was leading the other girl along to wherever they were going.  Intuition and all!<span style="color: hotpink">“I figured you probably didn’t pay attention and wouldn’t know about the assembly today.  Soooo, being a wonderful, caring, awesome, amazing,”</span>A cough interrupted her self-praise and brown eyes glared irritably to her side.  Hey! She’d been on a roll!<span style="color: silver">“stupendous friend, I figured I’d come by and make sure you knew where to go!”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: deepskyblue">“Because, of course, I simply would have been distraught to be all on my own for an hour and missing this no doubt riveting assembly.”</span><br/><br/>Aisha ignored the deadpan with practiced ease.  Still, her intuition could catch the amusement Vivio was hiding.  She was smugly proud of the fact that she was one of two people who could make the blonde happy.  That’s why they were B.F.F.s after all!  With a hum of glee, she dragged her friend to the gymnasium where the assembly was being held.  A cursory scan of the room identified a familiar head of white hair.<span style="color: hotpink">“We’re sitting with my new boyfriend, okay?”</span>And she was off again before Vivio could protest (and there was no doubt in her mind that Vivio would protest).<br/><br/>The blonde followed the overeager girl with practiced ease.  It took a certain level of skill to be dragged around by a girl half one’s size and not knock into everyone along the way.  (The few she did get slammed into by the careless Aisha were promptly ignored.)  When Aisha finally released her to take a seat, Vivio finally realized who she’d been manipulated to sit by.  Albeit Aisha was in between them, but this was still way too close to the nuisance who she’d already had to spend part of her weekend with.<span style="color: deepskyblue"> “Whatever happened to ‘hos before bros’?”</span>She wondered irritably, ready to turn around and walk off.  She didn’t<span style="font-style: italic">need</span>to sit by Aisha during this ridiculous gathering.  A corner seat would be just as conducive to resuming her nap.<br/><br/><span style="color: hotpink">“Welllllll, Isaac’s my <span style="font-style: italic">boyfriend</span>, not a ‘bro’.”</span>Nonetheless, Aisha grabbed Vivio’s hand so the other couldn’t escape.<br/><br/><span style="color: deepskyblue">“Boyfriend.. what happened to Justin Timberlake, Johnny Depp, and Emma Watson?”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: hotpink">“Open relationships! My heart is large enough for all of them! And Rafa Nadal.  You don’t mind, do you?”</span>Aisha turned towards Isaac, finally letting him join in on the conversation.
