I know right, like the math ain't really mathing.
"GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!"
Charlotte shouted as they jumped up and down on Venus's bed, Venus was awake as the shaking of the bed mixed with the screaming of Charlotte was what awoke them.
"I'M UP! I'M UP! I'M UP!"
Venus screamed back at Charlotte before throwing one of their pillows at them and watching as Charlotte fell off of the bed, Hallow rushed in after hearing the thud, Hallow's room was two doors down from Dahlia and Venus's room.
Hallow scanned the room, seeing a laughing Charlotte who was on the ground, holding onto the pillow that was thrown at them, Venus huffing as they got up from bed and Dahlia knocked the hell out in a weird body shape.
"Venus! Honestly, what the hell goes on in this room when everyone's asleep or downstairs?!"
Hallow asked as they helped Charlotte off of the ground, Venus rolled her eyes in annoyance as their sleep was disrupted from a bored Charlotte, Angel walked into the room with her toothbrush in her mouth.
It was as if there was a party in the bedroom because at this point everyone was in the room questioning what was going on, when everyone did leave, Venus was more calmed and Charlotte had already apologized.
Mia was downstairs already, she wanted to watch some TV before everyone came downstairs and made some noise before finding something to do, Hallow had walked down the steps and hugged Mia before walking outside of the house and driving to the supermarket to buy more food.
Angel walked down with Charlotte since the girls were planning on going to the backyard to have some tea time, these two also had a bond that was really unbreakable.

"All I'm saying is, nobody really asks for your opinion, you just give it and then get mad when people ask you not to give it."
Venus ranted on, as they walked down the steps with Dahlia who just woke up and couldn't really comprehend what Venus was ranting on about, they did hear bits and pieces about someone getting angry because their opinion was not wanted and not even asked for.
Mia looked away from the tv and smiled at the young girls who had made their way over to the living room, and sat down to watch whatever Mia was watching.
The day passed by and the girls were all huddled up around the couch to find the black phone cast mates's Instagrams, it was probably going to be easy because all you had to do was search up their names and they should be at the top, not trying to start problems but Doja should take lessons.
Venus was more excited than anyone when she got Mason's Instagram, she clicked the follow button and then went on to scroll through his profile just to see what he does and what he looked like now.
"When is the glow up fairy going to visit me?"
Charlotte sighed as they got on Jacob Moran's Instagram account, he was the boy that had played Billy and got beat to death by a man who was shirtless.
If I were his dog, I'd be ashamed to even bark that he was my owner, I'd have my head down in shame but oh well.
"Literally though, it seems like the fairy only comes when it feels like you really need it but then moves on to people who don't need it."
Venus added, everyone had their eyes glued down to their phones as they scrolled through the profile of their celebrity crushes, except nobody likes or even commented as they didn't want to come off as creepy or have a stalker vibe.

I know right, like the math ain't mathing.
Charlotte replied before shutting their phone off, Dahlia looked away from their phone and silently laughed.
"The math wouldn't be mathing anyways cause you're no good in it."
Dahlia snorted as they turned their phone off, Charlotte grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at the girl, soon enough a pillow fight broke out as Hallow recorded it.
Hallow stopped recording and posted it on TikTok, which began to get spammed with likes, comments and shared.
All the girls would agree that the home was a safe place for them to be themselves and not get judged because everyone was equally as awkward or shy or even weird, that's what made the friend group a powerful group.
Venus hugged Hallow and smiled at Charlotte, it was at that moment that everyone realized that all they had was right here and they didn't need anything else.
Well, that was a lie, they actually wanted the black phone cast but ignoring that, they had everything they needed and that was more than enough for them now.
As they cleaned up the living room because Hallow didn't want to leave it a mess, Angel put on 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' by Olivia Newton John.
"Since you pushed my love aside!"
Venus shouted the lyrics as if they were going through a break up, Hallow encouraging the singing and Charlotte holding out the broom handle to Venus as if it were a microphone.
Angel and Mia pretended to be fans of Venus and began to lip sync to the girl, Dahlia was just laughing like a lunatic as they began to record the singing.
"First class concert guys!"
Angel shouted to the camera as they danced with Mia.
"Hopelessly devoted to you, hopelessly devoted to you, Ooh~."
Venus continued their singing, and when the song finished, the living room was all clean.

Luck Lockyer
Luck Lockyer was the type of man to smirk in the dark, the expression not for anyone but himself. One of perpetual amusement. The bright side of things were hard to find in the shade yet his amber eyes were always searching. The smirk was his default, he knew it, his friends knew it, his family knew it. It was his most natural state. But the death of everyone close to you can affect a downwards curve on the mouths of even the most stoic people. Without purpose, without anyone to do the job for, Luck Lockyer found himself inside an empty forgotten church. The perpetual smirk on his face had slipped to a thin line, his scar more noticeable now than ever before. His amber eyes, the windows to his soul, dull and lifeless. To anyone who knew him, it was the clothing that gave away his mental state, denim pants and a plain black t-shirt. If that wasn't enough, the tears running down his face certainly would, the echoing sobs of a broken man rang across the rundown church. It was on a whim, but Luck Lockyer prayed, he prayed for many things, for death, revenge, friends, but the one prayer dominating his thoughts, a second chance for his family. That was all he wanted. Simple. It was then, on the outskirts of a polluted city, in an abondoned lot, in a forgotten church that Luck Lockyer, the Devil of the Cards, the Bloodless Hand, the Amber Demon, the Broken, was answered by a being from another world and one from his. *found the picture online
