Amanda, Allie and Megan

The sun was beginning to set behind the enormous residences that surrounded the city. The school day at Saint Augustine Preparatory Academy had ended several minutes ago, and Allie's family's long black limousine was cruising along the streets toward the exclusive mansion district where Allie lived. The car's interior was spacious and luxurious. Leather seats, warm lighting, small integrated screens, and enough room for the three of them to easily occupy one entire side. As happened almost every day, Amanda and Megan had ended up invading Allie's personal space.

Amanda: "Allie... you have to admit that your brother is ridiculously attractive." she said, leaning back in her seat with a huge smile while absentmindedly playing with one of her blond strands of hair. Megan: "For once, I agree with Mandy," she added without taking her eyes off her phone. "I still say you should give us her number."

Amanda: "Exactly! Just the number. Nothing strange. Nothing suspicious." She nodded too quickly to be believable. Allie slowly looked up from her phone before glancing at them both with obvious weariness. "You're both scary."

Amanda: "That's not a no."

Megan: "Technically, it's not a yes either."

Allie: "And you're not going to achieve it either."

Amanda let out a long, dramatic sigh as she dropped her head back against the seat. Megan simply continued scrolling through her phone screen.

Amanda: "Someday you'll trust us."

Allie: "I'd rather trust my bank account to a con artist."

Megan: "That sounded personal."

The limousine continued moving as the setting sun began to bathe the enormous windows in shades of orange. At that pace, they were still a few minutes away from the mansion, which meant Amanda and Megan still had plenty of time to continue bothering Allie.
