"Hanna, are you ready?" My mother yells from downstairs

"Yeah, give me a second" I yell back as I continue to scrutinize my outfit in the mirror

I'm wearing a pink silk dress that is being held by a set of thin spaghetti straps. I paired the ensemble with a few pieces of silver jewelry as well as white Nike's since I'm not in the mood to wear heels.

I quickly pull my wavy blonde hair into a high ponytail before grabbing my purse and walking out of my bedroom.

As I descend down the stairs I notice that it's only my parents standing near the door.

"Where are Isabella and Haley?" I ask as I walk up to them

"They're with Carolina for the next two days" my mom answers with a smile

Is she serious, right now?

My sisters don't have to go to this dinner, but I have to?!

This is completely unfair.

"Then why do I have to go to this dinner?" I ask them

"Because she has a daughter, your ag

"Hanna, you can tell us if he's forcing you to date him again" Faith tells me as we take a seat at a random table inside of the cafeteria

Today has been weird.

I haven't seen Bailey or Faith all day.

I was lucky enough to catch them in the lunch line but they didn't seem too happy with me.

On top of that Aurelia has practically been ignoring me since first period, but that's expected.

I still plan on talking to her today though.

"He's not, I promise" I tell them as I take a seat across from them

Faith instantly freezes up at the same time that Bailey's breath gets caught in her throat.

"Are you going through a teenage crisis or something where you miss your old life?" Bailey asks me with a serious tone of voice

I furrow my eyebrows at her in confusion.

Am I having a teenage crisis?

Just as I'm about to ask her what she means we're interrupted by my boyfriend.

"Hey, babe" Chad

"Hanna, you're going to the dinner whether you like it or not" my mother says

"Fine" I grunt out before hanging up the phone

I turn to face Bailey and Faith with an annoyed facial expression.

"I have to go to the dinner whether I want to or not" I say with an eye roll

"See, the universe wants the both of you to befriend each other" Bailey says with a smile

I groan as I bring my hand up to cover my head.

This can't be happening.

A few hours passed of Bailey and Faith watching random movies which I was unable to enjoy since a certain someone won't stop plaguing my mind.

"Hanna, she's not that bad, you're just overreacting" Faith says with an annoyed tone of voice as she tries to fall asleep

Bailey, Faith and I are camped out on her floor.

It is currently three in the morning and I can't stop thinking about the whole situation concerning the devil in disguise.

She's the equivalen

This is completely unfair.

"Then why do I have to go to this dinner?" I ask them

"Because she has a daughter, your age, that you could try and befriend" my mom tries to encourage

"But, mom-" I begin to say only to be
