All Bilee wants in life is to fit in with her artist family. Her twin sister can do it all. Sing, dance, and paint. Her brother's well-known for his portraits, and even her father can carry a tune without hesitation. Bilee is what he calls "tone dea...

"Oh, you've a kitten? I love cats! Mum's allergic, though, so I can't have any. She's pretty much allergic to everything, can you imagine? She won't let me have any pets. At all. But I so love that for you!" It amazes Bilee how Panda can let out endless streams of words without pausing to take a breath. Her thoughts just pour out of her mouth, unfiltered, rapid-fire, a flurry of hot pink waves as she rambles on and on. "What are you going to name her?! I'm assuming she's a her. At least, that's what I'm picturing in my head. How'd you find the little thing, again? You said somethin' bout a boy? Does he fancy you? Oh, my! Bilee, you naughty girl! Did you surf and turf him?

Bilee's face heats to a much-unwanted red. This mess of a conversation was the last place she expected to find herself in when she left her house this morning. If it wasn't for her run-in with Freddie, she would have already been seated in assembly with Seren instead of here, with Panda, talking about 'surf and turf'.
As a matter-of-fact, where was Seren? Sure, Bilee had mastered quick showers and it didn't take her long to throw on some clothes, but she also had to kitten-proof her room which took a solid thirty minutes to do. By all means, Seren should be the one waiting with Panda. Not the other way around.

Everything inside of Bilee is screaming to tear the pitiful girl apart, "I, uh-" She swallows hard, lying isn't something she'd made a habit of practicing. And the look on Panda's face- so desperate and helpless- is making this so hard.
"Oh, Panda, I'm sure you'll find a nice boy!" Seren arrives just in time to save Bilee from royally fucking up a friendship. The peppy twin sashays up the steps, a string of orange spilling out of her lips as she smiles and winks at her sister. "One who's clearly deaf and blind." She leans in to whisper the last part causing Bilee to fight back a laugh.
