Summary
Rue Bennett has a job, two community college classes, and a relapse she is trying to hide behind the phrase “it’s not pills.”
Maddy Perez has a boyfriend who is nothing like Nate, which would be more comforting if that were not the lowest bar ever dragged across California.
They were never friends. They just lived through same high school, the same parties, the same play, and the same intervention where Rue threw Cassie’s secret like a grenade and Maddy happened to be standing closest to the blast.
Now they’re twenty-one, back in East Highland, and both calling themselves better.
This goes about as well as expected.

Summary
Rue smiles but pulls Maddy behind the counter and toward the back where the cameras are. The set up is simple.
“It was shit back here but I cleaned it up as best as I could.” Rue explains. “Apparently, the old man used to chill back here before he got too old and then died.”
Maddy gasp and take a step back in horror, “He died back here?”
Rue smirks, “No. At home in his bed.”
“Oh.” Maddy replies but she still looks around in disgust.
Rue snorts, “It’s either this or your car.”
Maddy rolls her eyes.
“I got this.” Rue shows a firestick. “We can watch project runway.”
Maddy lips curve up and look Rue up and down who is wearing a pair of loose jeans, the latest Jordans, and an oversized shirt. “You watch project runway?”
Rue roll her eyes, “No. But, it’s been trending so…”’ She shrugs. “…maybe you’ll learn a thing or two.”
Maddy roll her eyes but finally move to the couch. “Whatever.”
Rue doesn’t hide her smile.
or
Maddy Perez escapes home to the 7/11 for peace and quiet…that’s until Rue Bennett starts working the night shift.
