harper: I can do that.

harper: She is rather pretty. Both she and Santana are. Why don't you try and see if you can see any spark between the two of you this weekend? It might give you a better understanding.

izzy: But not as pretty as Dylan huh???????

izzy: Is that why you've been so blush-y and had that dopey smile after your 'study sessions' at lunch?

harper: I can totally ask.

harper: Do you like her?

izzy: Just don't make it obvious I want to know

izzy: I've always had a little crush- she's gorgeous. But I think I do? I don't know. I haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with her, but I want too.

harper: She seems really scary but if there is anyone in the world who can make her human, it's you.

harper: I'm sure she does like you back. Just make sure she treats you right, okay?

harper: I could ask if Lily has spoken about you?

izzy: Please, Harper, I don't know why she'd like me.

izzy: NO. I mean. Maybe?.. Maybe just ask like you're curious about it and I haven't told you. I don't know Harps, I'm confused.

harper: I'm sorry.

harper: NEVER. Don't even joke about such lies.

harper: No. Nothing else, I promise. What's happening with you and Lily?

izzy: Nothing nearly as Romeo and Juliet, believe me.

izzy: She invited me to come over this weekend after I brought her some brownies- she might've just been flirting, but she's so pretty and cute and she makes me very nervous and confused

izzy: Make Dylan make her like me back

izzy: Kidding. Kind of

harper: I DON'T KNOW!

harper: It sort of just happened. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. We kissed last month but I wasn't sure exactly how serious she may have felt until we spent the entire night cuddling and she didn't try to cop a feel.

izzy: AHHHH

izzy: She was in your house????

izzy: I feel so behind. I've been forgotten. Bye

izzy: Kidding, am I missing anything else?

Lily admired the way Izzy’s blush began to appear as the brunette flirted a little. It had been a long time since she had pulled this reaction from somebody. Most of the people she flirted with were just as corrupt as she was, it was almost refreshing and a little sexy to tease someone seemingly so innocent. “Relax. I don’t bite.” The brunette whispered before raising an eyebrow. “What are you doing this weekend? If you’re not busy, you should come over and have a few drinks with me. My sister and mom won’t be home and our apartment building has a community spa. I can totally threaten my neighbors and make it ours for the night.”

There was that dopey smile that seemed completely uncontrollable on Izzy’s lips, her nervousness still buzzing at the edges of her skin, but some of it felt like butterflies. There was a sort of rush that came with talking to Lily, or just watching her, knowing that the Skanks — and most of what Lily was was something Izzy hadn’t ever been able to know. Being a Cheerio’s best friend kept her from certain things, even if that rule wasn’t spoken. But the more and more things fell apart at McKinley, Izzy couldn’t help but keep feeling pulled towards something different. And dark brown eyes didn’t help deter her at all. 

“That sounds really nice.” She said, keeping her legs from bouncing as she crossed her ankles. “I’d love to, Lily.”

harper: Who? You like a... Which one?

izzy: Don't be mad at me...

izzy: Uhm. I don't know- I just, I wanted to ask and

izzy: Lily.

This was the time she really, really wished she could be like her mom. Or her brother. Or anyone else, because Lily’s smirk turned her into a blushing, stuttering mess. “Y-you don’t.” She replied, as steadily as she could, her smile feeling warm on her flushed cheeks. “Owe me. I️ mean. I️ just wanted to…” She suddenly was very interested in her tea. “Make you happy- or something like that. If that’s okay.”

With the cups of tea made, Lily made her way to the dining room table and place Izzy’s cup down in front of her. Taking a seat across from the pretty blonde, the brunette reached out for a brownie before taking a bite. “This is really good.” She mumbled, licking her lips before taking another bite. “Thank you for making them.” Lily added, offering the Drifter a small smile before taking a sip from her cup. “Did you make any of these with weed?” Lily couldn’t help but ask, a smirk gracing her lips.

Izzy’s eyes widened in gratitude when she saw the tea, smiling as much as she could without chewing with her mouth open. “Of course!” She said after she swallowed, setting her brownie down and wrapping her cold hands around the warm mug. “The ones with the green m&m’s are stoner friendly, the other ones are for the ones driving home eventually.” 

“I told you I’d make you awesome brownies, I wouldn’t think of leaving out the best part.”

Lily faltered for a moment. Had she really been that transparent? “I wasn’t but thank you.” She mumbled, decided that would be all the denial Izzy would get from her today. She wasn’t someone people checked up on or wanted to make sure was okay. The Skank kind of liked that Izzy felt the need to make sure she was fine. Smiling softly, Lily let out a soft hum before she made her way around the kitchen preparing Izzy a cup of herbal tea and herself some green tea. She needed to detox. The brunette was extremely hungover. “Well I can provide that. Take a seat at the dining room table, I shouldn’t be a minute.”

Izzy kept her knowing glance to herself- she’d barely gotten close to Lily afterall, but she was happy to help. And it had as much to do with the few genuine conversations she’d had with Lily as it did with the girl’s looks. She nodded quietly, smiling as she watched the girl for a moment before making her way to the dining room, taking out one of the more — kosher brownies for herself and taking a few bites, feeling a slight tightness in her gut as she heard her mother’s voice in her head about just how many calories were in the sugary treat, but she pushed them aside, if only for right now, in the Lopez house and having spent the night before in her second home.

Lily smiled softly at Izzy’s response before nodding her head. “Right. I forgot those were a thing.” She admitted with a laugh before stepping to the side. “Come in.” She offered, holding the door open so the beautiful blonde could make her way into the Lopez’s home. Closing the door behind them once the Drifter was inside, the brunette leaned against the front door momentarily before pushing away from the object. “You didn’t have to bake me anything.” She mumbled. Nobody ever went out of her way for Lily. Well, except for Dylan. “Thank you, though.” She added, wanting to show her appreciation. “Did you wanna come and sit?” She offered. “I can make you a drink. We have alcohol or non-alcoholic stuff. Tea, coffee and juice. Normal things.” Lily laughed.

Izzy grinned when she was invited in, like it was all she needed to relax, even if she was still showing up at the girl’s house uninvited. As much as she hated missing school, she didn’t see Lily inviting her over anytime soon without a little push, so she would take anytime she could get “I’d love too. I wanted too. I told you I would, and you looked kind of sad.” There was a laugh that was almost a giggle. “Uhm, tea? I like tea. And I promise tea- or coffee will be wonderful with these.”

Things had been exhausting for Lily over the past few weeks. Tensions between the cliques were ever growing and it appeared the Skanks were now on the slushy hit list. It annoyed her more than she’d ever admit but that wasn’t the thing the brunette was hurting over. Her relationship with her sister had completely disappeared. They were fighting constantly and the only thing that eased her mind were drugs and alcohol. She had been drinking a lot more and seemingly spent the majority of her time coming down from her last high. 

Making her way down the stairs as she let out a yawn, she thanked God that nobody else was home. Her sister was at school while her mom was at work. Lily knew she was supposed to be at McKinley too but she woke up barely able to function after yet another binge. Running her fingers through her hair, Lily frowned when she heard the doorbell chime throughout the house. Looking down at her messy appearance, she shrugged her shoulders as she mentally prepared to participate in human interaction. Opening the door, Lily was shocked to see Izzy standing on the other side with a plate full of baked good. “Hey… Shouldn’t you be at school or something?”

Izzy was bored, to say the least. Harper and her were seeing just as much of each other, but there were times where she would sneak off, times she knew weren’t being spent with any of her other friends, who seemed to be swarming Isabelle asking her what was going on with Harper. While she couldn’t be sure, she thought it may have something to do with the girl who seemed to be always starting across the cafeteria at her friend- sitting right next to - Lily. Lily, the Lopez who always interested Isabelle. Santana was easy to understand, obviously trying as hard as Quinn Fabray to hold onto what she had. But Lily? Maybe it was the Skanks. Or her smile. Or one of the hundred other things that Isabelle was so easily drawn too. If she dressed in anything else than her sweaters, and if people knew about some of her romantic affairs, they’d probably label her a slut - not that it was right, but this was McKinley. But Izzy had always been just sweet enough not to be put into a box. 

Maybe it wasn’t different with Lily, they didn’t know each other all that well, but Isabelle was growing increasingly aware that her little crush seemed to be going a little farther than usual. So Isabelle did what she usually did when that happened. She baked. And that baking led to an excuse to go see her. She’d gotten permission after all. 

“H-hi.” She stuttered out, trying to grin without looking too ridiculous. “Free period.” Isabelle explained, like it was obvious. “Thought you’d want some brownies.” There was a bit of a blush on her cheeks- but she wanted to see Lily. She’d seen how upset the girl had been, if only in passing while watching Dylan Gilbert watch Harper. And she didn’t want anyone to hurt. Especially Lily.
