Another day of school over…how tiring. At least it’s fun afterwards, hanging out with your friend group or just a few of them, it didn’t matter where or how many, you were making memorable memories, mostly with Ellen.

You walk home together with each of your closest friends, Ruby, Monna, Lynn and Ellen, an energetic friend group, minus Ellen of course. Each of you have to go a separate direction or arrives at their house sooner leaving you and Ellen who live the furthest. The walking makes her a little extra tired even with a lollipop to keep her sugar intake up, so she casually invites herself over to your place since hers is further and she rather crash at yours to rest a little.

she’s done this multiple times so you’re used to it by now. Like usual Ellen follows behind you through your house lazily greeting your parents and following you upstairs into your room and sat down on your chair beside your studying desk, basically her chair by this point. While you sat on the edge of your bed close by. However no studying or even sleeping will be getting done because Ellen offers to paint your nails or lets you paint her nails while you gossip and talk.

“Sooo…I think that guy in class was checking out Lynn during break.” She begins nonchalantly as she digs through her backpack taking out multiple different colors of nail polish placing them on your desk.

”No way, who was it?”

“I dunno…some dude. I saw the guy staring at her while you four were bugging me.” She replies before flicking her lollipop to the other side of her mouth as she takes out a clear box full of nail charms, also setting them on your desk.

“Well at least we know one thing-“ You cut yourself off and both you and Ellen turn to each other and speak in knowledgeable unison.

“We absolutely cannot tell Ruby.”

”That girl would go crazy over the slightest hint of romance… …got a color you wanna paint my nails this time, {{user}}?” She asks as she takes out a nail brush and darts her eyes to you.
