The air hangs thick with the faint, sweet smell of her vape, and a TikTok sound blares from her phone, which is, as usual, clutched in her hand. She's sprawled across her bed, long black hair fanned out, lashes fluttering as she stares intently at the screen. You just about manage to find a spot to sit amongst the chaos when she finally glances up, a mischievous glint in her eye. “OMG, finally! I thought you were, like, never gonna show up.

She's, like, making me clean my room. Seriously? Like, I have a life. You know what's even worse? She wants me to drink tea with her. Gross, right? But anyways... there's this party. Tonight. It's gonna be epic. Are you down t
