Abby, Ginny and Gracie

3rd person pov

"You know, i kind of hate Norah for going along with everything Max says, she just follows her every word and movement" Gracie admitted

"I know it stings" Ginny sighed "And I hate Hunter for blaming me for everything that happened"

"I hate Press for being such a bullshit sociopath"

"He full on scares me."

"What the-"

"But so does Gracie, and you, so.."

"huh?"

"i scare you? Gracie scares you? are we talking about the same Gracie?" Abby asked laughing a little

"Oh, very much, and yes, same Gracie" Ginny nodded as Abby and Gracie looked at eachother

"What are you two do-" but Ginny was cut off as the two jumped on her laughing

"Are you scared, Miller?" Abby laughed

"Wanna do something crazy?" Abby asked looking in the mirror

"Duh!" Gracie laughed sitting up helping Ginny up

"Uh. Yeah. i- Maybe. Why, was is it?" Ginny asked looking at Abby, as Abby grabbed Gracie as the two looked in the mirror smiling before looking at eachother

"This is an example of the two of you scaring me" Ginny nodded

Max was sitting on the chair at the Berry Tree, as Norah was sitting on the arm rest

"Josh Spear. That's who Sophie was on a date with. I found a Venmo payment" Max sighed

"im sorry, babe" Norah said looking at her

"i just dont get it, you know? Like, how can she go from me to him so quick? We just broke up. i feel really stupid"

"look, im sure you're gonna get over her a lot faster than you think you will" Norah shrugged

"That's, like, not very supportive"

"im not being supportive?" Norah asked looking at Max, before stopping and looking over

The three girls had gotten strips of their hair dyed and made their way back to school , Ginny got blue, Abby got pink and Gracie got black

Gracie was in the middle with Abby holding her hand and Ginny on the other side

"Ginny Miller, Gracie Miller, Abby Littman. Were you just skipping class? Come with me." the principal sighed as Norah and Max watched the four leave

"This shit is so good" Gracie practically moaned eating a muffin

"no eating unless you're on break" Joe called, before turning around and looking at her

"Are you high?"

"Psh! High, me, no" she said waving him off hiding the muffin behind her

"You're totally stoned right now. Gracie, what is going on? This isnt like you" Joe said shaking his head, looking at her

"Nothing, you know, living out my teenage years, be thankful im not pregnant. You got another date?" She asked looking at him, as he sighed before leaving

"I need eye drops" she sighed going to the back, as Ginny walked in for her shift

The three girls were now closing as Padma sighed before looking at Ginny

"Can i ask you something?" she asked looking at her as Gracie was cleaning the coffee machines

"What happened between you and Hunter? 'Cause at rehearsal, he was, like... very sad"

"Why? What did he say?" Ginny asked looking at Padma as she stopped wiping the tables

"He wrote a song" Gracie chuckled leaning on the counter as Ginny sighed

"Not another song"

"It sucks when you're with someone and you're into them way more than they're into you"

"I was into Hunter" Ginny said looking at Padma "But at the time i was just way more into Marucs. Sorry, Gracie"

"Dont make me slap you, Ginny. I'm still pissed"

"I just get why Hunter's upset"

"yeah, you know, I'm the bad guy that cheated on perfect, Hunter, and slept with my sisters boyfriend, ok? I'm the villain, I'm evil. Its just so fun to hate Ginny. Only person who has any right to hate me is Gracie. Im going through alot right now, and i cant tell anyone, not even my therapist. And i feel like Gracie is gonna punch me if i talk about him with her" Ginny rambled

"I dont think you're evil" Padma said hugging Ginny, who looked at her sister

"I want in the hug" Gracie whined before walking over and hugging them

"Your guy's hair" Gracie heard as she followed Ginny into the kitchen, Gracie was kinda very high

"You likey?" Gracie smiled spinning, but stopped at her moms words

"I hate it"

"Thats mean" Gracie frowned as Ginny went to walk away but was stopped

"Excuse me, miss, not so fast. I covered for the two of you today, thank you very much. Where were you two? I thought you hated each other. I know you guys weren't at the dentist."

"We were smoking weed and skipping school. Is that what you wanna hear" Ginny spoke for the both of them as Gracie eyes widened

"Oh yeah, thats my dream"

"Sure you want Paul here for this?" Ginny asked looking at him

"Im done. I can go" he said wiping his hands on a towel

"Paul's marring me. He's here for all of it"

"You sure about that?"

"All of it?" the sisters asked at the same time

"Go to your room's. Right now!"

"Why? We're all such a happy family. You, me, Gracie, Austin, Paul, Mary" Ginny said looking at her mom crossing her arms over her chest, before she turned around grabbing Gracie's hand and leaving

"I miss Marcus" Gracie sighed sitting on Ginny's bed almost falling off

"Do you want me to ask him to come see you? Or bring you over there?" Ginny asked looking at her sister who nodded

"yes! No! no! I cant go over there stoned, Ellen will hate me." Gracie sighed sniffling

"A-are you crying, Gracie?" Ginny asked looking at her wide eyed, as Gracie laughed grabbing her phone

"No texting while high!" Ginny whispered yelled grabbing her phone

"no, shut up" Gracie said waving her off

"You know mom did murder him, right?" Ginny asked sitting next to Gracie

"I am way toooo high for this conov" Gracie laughed

"Really, give me your phone. You would murder me if i let you do something dumb while high" Ginny said going to grab Gracie's phone who shook her head, they wrestled for a second before Gracie gasped loudly

"What? what?"

"Oh my God" Gracie whispered looking at Ginny wide eyed

"Look what we did!" Gracie yelled slapping Ginny's arm

"You-you sent the voicemail!"

"Replay it! See what it says, maybe it didnt say it" Gracie yelled as Ginny nodded grabbing her phone

"No texting while high!"
"no, shut up"
"You know mom did murder him, right?"
"I am way toooo high for this conov"
"Really, give me your phone. You would murder me if i let you do something dumb while high"
"What? what?"
"Oh my God"
"Look what we d-" the voice message stopped as the sisters looked at eachother
