THIRD PERSON POV
Rushing around her room in search for her astronomy and astrology books, she trips over one of her pair of Jordan fours, Alora or Aella as her friends prefer calling her, lands face first onto her bedroom floor, "ouch! Mother of Christ!" She moans holding onto her nose with both hands whilst rolling around her cluttered bedroom floor.
"sweetie are you ok?" Her mom cries out from the bottom of the stairs of their three bedroomed house, "I'm fine, just tripped over something, but I'm okay," she states while getting to her feet.
"mom have you seen my astrology and astronomy books? I can't find them," getting out of her bedroom and heading down the stairs she notices that she lost one of her wireless earbuds when she fell, "nope haven't seen them," her mom responds to the question Alora posed earlier.
"mom I think I lost one of my earbuds," whining and stomping her feet she heads in the direction of the kitchen and takes a seat at the island on one of the kitchen bar stools.
"that's what you get for being so clumsy and reckless all the time," Alora rolls her eyes at the end of that statement, "is it my fault I have a dreamy and imaginative mind, have you forgotten that I am a Pisces or have you completely forgotten that very important detail," she mutters while reaching for one of the oranges on the table, "let's not forget the fact that you basically named me Dreamy, so technically that's your fault."
Alora's phone rings due to a notification as she points and accusing finger at her mom, she reaches for it in her back pocket while her mom continues saying something she does not completely listen to or pay any attention to.
Text from Penny; heyyy, can you come over its an emergency.
She feigns a sigh of frustration directed to her mom and the text she received just a few seconds ago.
Aella
Sure I'll be there in a bit lemme just check the horoscope so that I can be prepared for what is in store for your zodiac and mine when we are together today, cool?
Penny
What's up with you and that shit? can't you just come here ryt now I really need you here it's an emergency, you little bitch.
Aella
Fine but if I'm unprepared for anything our zodiacs have in store today because of the alignment of the stars today I'm blaming you.
Penny
Sure
Aella
Cool
Penny
PS bring snacks, like a lot if them, I'm too busy to do it myself.
Aella
Whatever 🙄
"Mom, I'll be heading out for a little while," she tells her mom before reaching for one of the meatballs she is preparing for dinner, "keep your dirty hands away from my dinner." Aella laughs at her mom and says, "what's the special occasion, you never cook such delicious food for no reason," her phone starts to ring , but she ignores it.
"Where are you going anyways?" Her mom inquires out of pure curiosity and concern, "don't worry mom, I'm just heading over to Penny's crib, she needs help with something but won't say what it is, she claims it's an emergency," she says while adding air quotes to the last word, "did you even ask what it is?"her mom turns around to check on the spaghetti sauce she's preparing on the stove, "nope," she responds, popping the p just for the sake of it.
"Bye mom," she grabs her phone from the island, and notices the earbud on the floor and picks it up, "be back by 8:30!" Giving her mom a kiss on the cheek, she finally walks out of the house.
============================
She knocks on the door and a guy she's never seen before opens the door, they just look at eachother in awkward silence, the tension grows thicker forcing her to play with her fingers and run her hands through her hair.
"You gonna speak or..." he finally breaks the silence, "Atlas, is it Ella at the door?" Penny says from the end of the hallway behind him, "don't know is she timid, shy and fidgety?" He states with an impassive expression painted across his face, "what no she isn't, she's anything but shy," Penny says pushing him out of the way, "this is Aella, Aella this is Atlas, a family friend living with us for a while," she introduces them, "hey, nice to meet you," Aella extends her hand timidly for a handshake, "same," he gives her a one syllable response and she can't help but notice the Italian accent he has before he shakes her hand and leaves abruptly.
Well he is something,I don't know what but definitely is something. She thinks to herself.
"Ok what was the big emergency?" She asks curiously, "well, our family friends are going through something and her sons are gonna be living with us till it's sorted so...." She trails off like she's thinking of what to say with out divulging too much information, "I summoned my trusted friend to help me help them get settled" Aella is planted on the same spot where she was standing when Atlas opened the door.
"Wait so you are telling me, you want me to help you with your chores?" She asks dumbfounded at her best friends audacity, "they aren't that bad, but they are supper hot right?" That doesn't matter you want me to help you pack the clothes of two strangers, fyi I haven't even met the other one," her gives her the puppy dogs eyes and responds, "is it my fault I wanted all my best friends to meet and get along"
"I thought I was your only friend," Atlas yells with a mouth full if Doritos from the kitchen next to the snack cabinet, "no I thought I was your only best friend," Aella whispers to Penny
Penny ignores her and continues walking towards her room, when she gets to the door she turns around abruptly almost knocking Aella down onto her ass
"Guess what, I'm now supposed to share my bathroom with them," Penny states why waving her hands around her like it's the worst thing to happen to her.
"Ohhh yeah makes sense because your bathroom is literally in the middle of two bedrooms, with two doors that lead to both bedrooms."
