Geek Girl
"Y/N, WE'RE GOING!" Y/n heard her step-mother yell. 
"Shit." She whispered to herself, already feeling a headache starting to form, "Come on, Y/n. You're doing this for Dev." 
Grabbing at her stress-ball and fidget toy, Y/n threw both items into her tote bag before then throwing it over her shoulder and heading to exit her room.
"-You just look so cute in that sweater, so suave, so handsome." Aya giggled, her nose scrunching up as she looked up at her husband in adoration. 
"Oh?" Purred the man that held Aya in his arms.
"Why can't both of you just loathe each other when I'm not around." Y/n let out a sigh, her eyes flickering between the two adults. 
"You look cute today, habibti." Aya smiled up at me. 
Y/n knew neither of her parents took offense to her blunt comments. It's a usual teasing in the house by now.
"I do not, Aya." Y/n grumbled as her hands began to curl into a fist, "And if cute means that I look like I have no sense of style, then I do not think I'm gonna be making it out of this house." She shook her head as she walked back into her room, the sickening feeling in her stomach becoming too much to ignore.
Fudge. 
If my 29 year old step-mom thinks I look cute, 
I've got it all wrong. 
Again. 
"What's Romeo up to?" Aya asked, pushing Y/n's blinds open as she looked out of the teen's window. 
"Been a mystery since we were 6, hasn't it." Y/n answered, "Probably just rehearsing his talent show bit again."She gave a shrug as she walked towards her closet, letting out an even bigger sigh as she realized she'd have to change for the eleventh time.

"I'm Romeo." Romeo stated, "But am I?" 
"No, no." He shook his head as he cleared his throat, "I am, yes." 
"I am Romeo Ishaan, and today I'll be performing Space Dust Legend, a one-man show about time traveling, King Arthur-" Romeo stopped himself as his attention became elsewhere, "Oh, felicitations, fair maiden!" 
"What?" Devika said, glancing at Romeo as her speed picked up. 
"What as in 'fair maiden' or what as in 'felicitations'?" Romeo questioned.
"Not now, Romeo. The bus leaves for fashion week in ten minutes!" Devika reminded, making up the doorsteps to the Morales Household and taking out her own set of keys. 
"I'm aware of the parameters." Romeo nodded, "Have you given anymore thought to a guest appearance, Ika? The part of Queen Guinevere is yours for the...taking." The poor boy let out a sigh as he realized Devika wasn't listening anymore.

"Morning, everyone!" Devika announced herself as she made it into the kitchen. 
"Morning, Dev." Aya greeted the girl with a warm smile, "Have you had breakfast?" 
"Uh, yeah! Mom made her smoothies, again." Devika answered, grabbing at the Nutella covered waffle that Aya handed her and taking a bite.
