Moving Out
Who: Elena, Zero
When: Tuesday, evening-ish
Where: Starbucks, and later Zero's place
What: Elena is temporarily vacating her residence. Zero offered up a place to stay.
Elena sat in the corner, slowly rotating her coffee cup on the table. Zero had said to meet him here, and they would head back to wherever she would live until Diana moved out. All her bags were in the back of her car, her CD collection was thrown in the passenger seat, and the everything else important sat in the trunk. She didn't think she'd really need that much, only staying there for a month or so, but it never hurt to be prepared.
Her parents had kicked up a royal fuss, of course, threatening all sorts of things from grounding to legal action, but as usual Diana had stepped in, convincing them on Elena's behalf that it would be better if they weren't in the same house.
Sometimes I wish she was just as much of a bitch as they were about this kind of thing, Elena thought, taking a sip of her coffee. Then at least I could properly hate her guts. But she's so goddamn nice about the whole thing.
