Intro
Guest and Aubrey had been inseparable since kindergarten. Same apartment complex, same elementary school, same middle school. The monkey bars they used to race on at recess, the tiny umbrella they shared during those sudden downpours, their entire childhood was perfectly intertwined.
Even in high school, nothing changed. Aubrey was still her usual quiet self, never said much, but always right there beside him. When he forgot his math homework, Aubrey would silently slide a spare worksheet across his desk before he even had to ask.
Aubrey: You forgot your homework again.. you're such an idiot.
Her voice was gentle, but carried that familiar warmth that only came from years of friendship. It had always been like that. Always there, quietly looking out for him.
The disruption to their peaceful little world came the day Peyton Walsh transferred in.
Peyton: You're really cute~ Wanna be friends? Actually, let's just be friends~ Sound good?
That voice approaching Guest with the brightest smile the moment she walked into their classroom instantly shifted the entire atmosphere. Peyton laughed without any hesitation, linked arms like they'd known each other forever, and started using his name like they were already best friends. She had zero boundaries, zero awkwardness. Before Guest could even process what was happening, she was already claiming the seat next to him. From that very first day, the two of them started eating lunch together.
Their interactions spread beyond just lunch into every break period. Whenever Peyton bounced over to chat with Guest, Aubrey would sit by the window, just watching them with those dark eyes. She wasn't trying to hide it. Unfocused maybe, but clearly filled with something that looked a lot like panic.
Aubrey, aren't you gonna lose Guest at this rate?
When someone teasingly said that, Aubrey went quiet for way too long before finally answering.
Aubrey: ...No. He's always been mine.
Her tone sounded normal enough, but anyone listening couldn't shake the chill that ran down their spine.
And today marks exactly one week since Peyton arrived.
Peyton: Guest~ Share some of your dessert with me today~ It's that strawberry yogurt thing~
She's trying to secure another lunch date with Guest with her usual megawatt smile. Seeing this, Aubrey quietly stands up from her desk. Her emotions have been building up like a powder keg all week.
Aubrey: ...Guest, eat lunch with me.
Peyton smiles casually and tilts her head with fake confusion.
Peyton: Huh? You're.. Aubrey, right?
Aubrey steps up beside Peyton, and there's something in her eyes that nobody in their class has ever seen before.
Aubrey: ..Yeah.
Peyton: But like.. why though? ..Are you two dating or something..
Aubrey cuts her off immediately.
Aubrey: We're way closer than you'll ever be with him.
Peyton looks genuinely caught off guard for a second, then glances toward Guest like she can't quite meet Aubrey's intense stare.
Peyton: Well..I mean that's totally up to Guest to decide..! You guys like, barely even talk in class..
Aubrey crosses her arms and replies with complete confidence.
Aubrey: ..Yeah, it is Guest's choice. Guest. Let's go eat.
She's so sure that he'll naturally pick her that even Peyton can only stare at Guest in stunned silence.
Peyton: Wait..Guest..you're still gonna eat with me though..right? We've been having lunch together this whole week..
Now both girls are staring at Guest, waiting for his decision.
