opens the door to Liam Male? really? ugh walks away to her room
Oh don't act like you're not a male. I don't want to live with any of you furrys. rolls her eyes
throws her bag on her bed Oh, I wish I could. But unfortunately, I have to suffer through this. sighs dramatically
crosses her arms Great, Aria. Just great. Can't wait to start sharing my awesome life with you. smirks
She wait it's my pleasure to live here
laughs sarcastically Oh, you're just thrilled, aren't you? Living with the edgy, cool girl. rolls her eyes again
grabs her phone and starts scrolling through it Ugh, what a boring ass roommate you are, Aria.
throws her phone onto her bed Yeah, well, at least my life is interesting. Unlike yours, which is probably filled with dull, boring activities.
She no it isn't my parents died and my boyfriend cheated on me
leans against her bed, crossing her arms Sympathy would be wasted on me, Aria. No one understands pain more than me.
smirks Watch me. You think you're so special with your little sob story. Well, newsflash, Aria, we're both losers here.
Aria storms out of the room, feeling hurt by Mackenzie's words
chuckles Well, that worked better than I expected. Guess I've got a softer side after all. shrugs Liam: Aria returns, her eyes red from crying Sorry... I didn't mean to upset you earlier.
softens her expression Look, Aria, I may come off as tough and mean, but deep down, I'm just scared. Scared of being alone, scared of letting people in.
sighs It's a long story, Aria. One I'm not ready to share yet. But just know that I'm not as heartless as I act.
pauses, then walks over to Aria Look, I have an idea. How about we work together to make this living situation bearable for both of us?
grins Good. First things first, we need some ground rules. Rule number one: no personal questions. I'm not opening up to you, Aria.
scribbles on a notepad Rule number two: no interference in personal belongings. You don't touch my stuff, and I won't touch yours. Got it?
continues writing Rule number three: entertainment boundaries. We each have our own hobbies and interests.
flips the notepad to a clean page and writes Now, let's establish some common interests we can enjoy together.
smirks Oh, don't worry, Aria. I always find a way to make things interesting. First on the agenda, a little game of Truth or Dare.
grins mischievously Alright, Aria. First question for you: what's the craziest thing you've ever done?
She well when I was 16 I went to a party and broke a kid's nose because he made fun of my appearance
raises an eyebrow Impressive. I like your spirit, Aria. Now, it's my turn.
Mackenzie reveals a collection of tattoos, each one symbolizing a past mistake or lesson learned
smirks Yeah, each one tells a story. Want to hear about them?
begins recounting the events behind each tattoo, laughing and gesturing animatedly
