billie: i got a funny story y'all

i draw my eyes away from finneas and look at billie and madison at the stairs.

billie: madison-

madison: -you better not i swear to god-

billie: -if you weren't you wouldn't have a problem with it

madison: i have a problem with it cause i'm not!

billie: maddie's a virgin

she starts laughing and maddie turns and looks at her

madison: and you're fucking annoying

she shoves billie out the way and runs upstairs

billie: take a joke b!

madison: fuck you!

she slams a door shut and billie's face completely drops. she walks all the way downstairs and sits down next to me.

billie: i'm not the only one that heard that

claudia: what? the 'fuck you' or the door slam?

she looks at finneas as danielle gets comfortable in her spot on the couch opposite from us, isaac jumping over it then sitting down, as elijah places a plate of pancakes on the coffee table.

elijah: she's never come off like that before.

isaac: not to us atleast

billie: what do you mean

elijah: so a few months from when we first met madison joked about being a virgin so it became an inside joke and we started to bring it up.

isaac: all the time. it looked like she was getting really annoyed with us so we took it to lengths and continued making fun of her until she couldn't put up with it anymore.

elijah: we stopped this year because we thought she would like drop us as friends or something so it hasn't been bought up since january

isaac: until today.

billie: so she's not a virgin

isaac: no

billie: then why is she all mushy and defensive about it then

elijah: should we tell her?

he looks at isaac and isaac looks at danielle, dani looking at me then finneas. i have no idea what is going on.

isaac: she's not used to it

billie: what the fuck do you mean. make it make sense

isaac: okay. so she used to like hook up with people at parties and stuff. they were all one night stands so she's never really stuck to one person before, other than danielle.

i look at dani

danielle: girl it ain't me, but that's a story for another time.

billie: so she's never had something serious?

elijah: if you don't count 9 month's with danielle

billie: damn.

billie gets up from her spot on the couch and reaches for her phone in her pocket. she puts it to her ear and finneas rests his face in his palms when the other person picks up and billie speaks.

billie: yo q wassup.. yeah.. you free?

i stand up at what she says and finn grabs my hand, sitting me back down
