Angel's POV

"Great to see you again Angel" Gregory says as he shakes my hand, I smile and shake his hand back, I spent the night at my moms last night for the first time since I left

Thankfully my mom asked on a night she knew Veronica would be at Betty's for the night

"Great to see you too...my parents are uh over here" I say as I let Gregory in and close the door before locking it

I walk him over to the dinner table where my parents are sitting, they look over at us smile as they stand up and shake his hand

"Alright now....let's get to business, we have gone over things over the phone already and I understand you have school especially with this being your junior year and you have senior year coming soon...so...I've scheduled for your headshots to be taken during the summer...and during this time I will have you going to auditions consistently" Gregory explains

"But will this interfere with her schooling or college visits, she has yet to decide if she wants to attend college but we still want her to have options" Fp asks and I nod

"Yea and what will the plan be while she is in her senior year since you we have all agreed that no auditions will be happening for the rest of this school year" My mom asks

"Well Mr.Jones and Mrs.Lodge, Angel will be able to focus on her studies and go on college visits but her schedule will be filled up to where maybe she will miss a visit or an audition and college visit will be the same day...that's to be determined but no auditions will be happening till the summer....now as for senior year, depending on how well she does with the auditions she gets in the summer, she may have some obligation during the year but...she will fulfill her educational responsibilities and have time to enjoy her last year of high school" Gregory explains causing me to smile a bit

Gregory slides papers over to my parents and I, I look over what looks like a time sheet for my now busy summer schedule

"I have a question though....will I miss prom or football games...could I even do extracurriculars" I ask and Gregory gives me a look that tells me everything I need to know

"That will have to be determined...you can still sign up but I can't promise that you won't miss things, Prom will be something you can go to no matter what but as for your extracurriculars....theater and football may be in the crossfire" He says and I sigh, Fp puts his hand on my shoulder in comfort while my mom grabs my hand

"I hate to be the barrier of bad news but I have to be completely honest with you-

Just Gregory goes to talk more, the door opens and Veronica walks in smiling as she texts in her phone, I sigh heavily before looking away and leaning back in my chair

"Oh uh....hey mom what's going on here" Veronica asks

"We're in a meeting so just head to your room" Hermione says

"But I-

"I actually have gone over everything for today, once I have a photographer to gets these photos done then I will notify all of you" Gregory says as he packs up his papers

"Thank you Gregory we appreciate you explaining things and answering our questions" Hermione says as she and my dad stand up and shake his hand, I stand up and shake his hand too before walking him out

I ignore Veronica's stare as I say a final goodbye and thank you before closing the door and walking back over to my parents

"Ok well ima go get my stuff, promised Cheryl a movie night" I say before going to go to my fathers office that is now a guest bedroom for me

Will I ask why, no...do I care...not really

"Oh ok well-

"So your just not gonna ignore me" Veronica says, interrupting Fp

"Yea....have you not learned that I don't wanna talk to you" I say to her causing her to scoff

"Your so immature, just talk to me about it...I've apologized already" Veronica argues

"I don't care Veronica, you called me a liar and believed a man who time and time again has chosen his job over you!" I yell

"Says the one who didn't have a Dad until a few months ago! Stop acting like I can't be in disbelief of him doing things when I haven't seen it" Veronica shouts

"Yea, you haven't! Because your a clueless bitch who can't pay attention to what's in front of you" I shouts back

"You asshole! I-

"Enough!......i am sick of this bickering and tension, Veronica I have told you to give your sister time so give her her space...Angel don't stoop to her level just because you can...your better than that and I won't listen to you insult your sister...it's out of character for you and I expect you to stand your ground but be respectful" Hermione yells at both her daughters as they stare at her angrily

"Mom she can't hold this grudge forever" Veronica argues and my mom sighs before shaking her head and walking out of the room

"Veronica give your sister some space and your mother is right..you both are acting like children when you both are near adulthood, get it together" Fp says and I sigh and nod

"Your not my dad and who are you to know anything about me when you barely knew your own son" Veronica says and I go to hit her but Fp pulls me away and to the guest room

"Hitting her won't help....you keep your distance from that girl....she takes after her father man than I thought" Fp says and I sigh as I pack up my dirty clothes and my extra pair of shoes

"She's just being a bitch because she knows I'm right" I say angrily as I zip my bag up

"Yea....but she has to deal with that...she comes over to you, you walk away with no words...let her be miserable" My father says and I nod as I pick up my bag and walk out of the room with my father wrapping his arm around me
—————-

I hold Cheryl close as we watch the Mario movie, my choice not hers

"Poor Peach....her man can't keep a turtle away from her" Cheryl says causing me to laugh

"Maybe but...it keeps things interesting" I say in a laugh

" I guess...but Princess Daisy has it best" She says and I roll my eyes

"Your only saying that because she's a redhead" I say and Cheryl laughs

"No I'm not I'm just-

A ding from Cheryl's phone causing her to stop, she grabs it as I watch Mario hop from mushroom to mushroom, I look down and see Cheryl smiling at her phone with a small laugh leaving her lips

"Who texted you" I ask curiously

"Oh...I'm texting Frankie, he sent me a meme and told me he still sucks at history" Cheryl explains and I laugh a little

"He sick's at everything other than sports" I say jokingly causing Cheryl to hit my arm playfully

"Stop he's really sweet...don't bully him like Chuck and the other guys do" She says and I sigh

"I'm not...he's actually kinda cool so I'll be nice" I say and Cheryl nods before closing her phone and cuddling back into my chest

"Good....your such a peach" Cheryl says causing me to laugh and peck her lips

I am a nice person....I'm happy Frankie isn't a douche

A/n yuhhhhhh yuh hi lol
