Mia felt the sudden shift in the room from those around her after she spoke.? They would never accept her fully as one of theirs since she didn’t have a flirty affair going on with anyone.? She did find Ireland attractive and even tried flirty with her on the roof a couple nights earlier, but the woman didn’t seem receptive.

?

Then Mr. Chord said something about disbanding the project all together.? She knew they had failed, but really that badly.? She overheard Gen’s comment about being perfect, “I am far from perfect.”? She said in response as Ms. Harrison and Mr. Chord left the room and she was handed an envelope.? She got up from the table and went to a window away from everyone else and opened the envelope.? Simply said, “Meet me on the roof, please.? Ms. H”? Mia wondered what she had done to impress the woman who only a few days ago had more or less told her she could leave.

?

She turned to the group as she folded the note and slipped it into her pocket, “Well, it seems that you all clearly don’t like me for whatever reason.? So, I am just going to say my goodbyes, thank you, and good luck.”? With that she left the conference room and headed for the elevator.? She just didn’t understand why she never fit in anywhere and she was tired of trying when others wouldn’t take the time to get to know her.

(Ireland)

Ireland wasn’t at all surprised what happened next.?Brandon and his punk ass only made things worse. Even in this moment he has a chance to be a leader and he blew it. Running away for invoking all the sympathy he needed and making things worse...setting the rest of them off.??Now Kat was crying, Gen was getting catty with his comments and Kites was pushing the rest of them away.

Gaw...Ireland tried really hard not to roll her eyes at the level of melodrama that was playing out before her. These people had known each for all of what...36 whole hours and they were acting like the had been friends since birth and Chord and Harry had just cruelly ripped them apart and sent then out to the wolves...not just told them to go home.

Surely they knew It was possible for life any friendship and budding relationships for them to continue to exist beyond any ideas that MC3 had plan for them.?They must all be really young...and virgins...otherwise she had no understanding why they would all act this...this...dramatic. Because this was just too much for her.?

She kept her face and body language unreadable as the scene unfolded before her. She was even good and didn’t laugh in Gen’s face when he looked at she and Mia in disgust...and spat out his words towards them.?

Out of all of them, he was the one who was hard to take... she was so wrong about him. The other day, when he helped her out with that jerk, He seemed so cool and sweet and nice....Even Frankie like him And Frankie never liked anyone.?She wanted to get to know him more...

But now...after hooking up with that Kites guy...he wasn't the same guy. He was now catty, disrespectful and rude...he had turned into a mean girl...just like Kites. And Ireland didn’t do mean girls.?

When Mia said what she said and walk out. Ireland felt bad for her. Mia had just openly expressed just how much they made her feel left out. She?wondered if any of them would care.?They had their cliques and dicks...and Mia wasn't a part of that before...that was obvious yesterday and now since she had proven herself as free independent thinker...it was probably even more so for this group now.

“Thanks Gen. The way you just spat those words out, the look of disgust in your eyes as you looked at me and Mia while you said, made it oh so believable.” She said standing up.?Ireland moved to the door, ?“The other day when I meet you...When you helped me with that jerk. I thought you were so cool. Right now...in this moment...not so much.”

“It was nice to meet you Kat. Since you and Brandon are now a thing, I’ll probably see you again. Hey Mia, wait up.” She said leaving the room. She caught with Mia at the elevator.
