Ty woke up first and untangled himself from Jo. He felt both relieved and frustrated from last night, like not enough happened but absolutely had. He went into the bathroom and worked out some tension while opening up a pack of wipes to share with Jo. Who knows how long the showers in the house were going to be out, so cleaning up something was absolutely necessary.
“Hey Ty.” Tiffany opened the door and sauntered pas him, pushing him out and taking place in front of the mirror.
Ty swallowed sharply and turned away from his sister. He thought that after so many years he would get used to his sister’s... Tiff-ness, he’d be able to not react. Alas, last night had made him antsy, so it didn’t take much. “There is a thing called patience you know?” He said heading towards his room.
“Perfection is impatient Ty!” Tiff called back, shaking her boobs in the mirror and blowing herself a kiss with her freshly black lips. She lifted up her t-shirt and rubbed around her navel, finding some kind of dry residue stuck inside. “Didn’t have anyone over last night.” She flicked it away and washed her hands, getting ready for the rest of the day.
An hour or so later, Linda was driving her three kids and her son’s girlfriend (and like hell she didn’t know what they tried to do last night) to their schools. She had a lot of work today, the DA’s office had called in some help as Defenders and paralegals with the Sickles bust the night before. So not only was Linda on her second day of no proper shower, she also had been practically up all night already going through her law books to get a head start on either side of the aisle today.
“Are you kids going to be okay today?” Linda asked as they pulled into the first stop, the high school for Tiff, Ty, and Jo.
“Sure thing Mrs. M,” Jo said, wearing a far too small jersey she left at the house years ago for sleepovers. “We got PE today so we should be able to clean up.”
Tiff, adjusting her black leather mini-skirt, rolled her eyes. “You have health, not PE.”
Ty smacked his sister upside the head. “You don’t know my schedule.”
Karyn, in the front seat, idly watched the scenery go by as her mom brought the car to a park in the drop off lane. She pulled the wishing stone from her pocket and rolled it in her hand, right until Ty snatched it out it. “Hey!”
“How did you get this?”
“Tylwr Madison! Do not steal from your sister!” Linda said.
“Mom, this was what grandpa left me! Karyn stole it from my room!”
Linda turned towards her youngest, who squirmed under her eyes. “We will talk about this on our own.” She looked back at Ty. “Have a good day honey.”
Ty, tiff, and Jo left the car with their bags and watched Linda Madison drive away, tense as she clearly was considering what to say to her youngest child. Tiff looked over towards the school and saw the other goths who she sometimes hung out with. “Welp, later. Hope making things harder on everyone today was worth it big brother.” She strutted towards the few she was friendly with, giving ample sway to her hips as she did so.
Tiffany Madison was the school slut, as much as her family hated it. “God she is horrible. At least Sanders just teases.” Jo said, looking at the rock in Ty’s hand. “Wanna fix her?” Ty unsubtly looked at his girlfriend’s chest, one equal to his sister’s. Jo looked down and sighed. “Yeah, good point.”
“I’ll stuff it in my locker, pick it up after gym.” Ty said, putting it in his pocket next to his wallet.
Jo nodded before thinking of something. “Are you sure Tiff was wrong and this is a gym day?”
“Two days without a shower Jo. I’m taking one today no matter what.”
“Like a weekend for a bachelor.”
“Choice is the key there. I had no choice, I feel rank.” The couple took hands and entered the school, not long after the rest of the population... except for one.
Athena DeVries took her time going inside, and not just because her victorian dress caught on some bushes. She watched her... friend? Tiffany Madison flirt with whoever she wanted, even dragging one by the chin with her finger. She knows that Tiffany was by the most sexually open of their friend circle, she knows she was diagnosed with a pretty severe level of nymphomania, but all of that felt wrong. Athena idly rubbed a gem on her necklace, an experiment in a protection charm, and held it up to her eye like a monocle.
“The Madison’s, Jo Black, and the Tease Sanders all have an odd aura about them. And...” She focused on Tyler Madison who seemed to pale in her non-enhanced eye. “There is something in his pocket.” Athena put down the Seer Eye and tapped her chin. “What is going on here?”
