Tears of pain tears of joy one thing nothing can destroy is are pride deep inside we are one
It had been a particularly stressful day for Petra as she had to endure her whole family at one time. Her mother and step father had come into town to visit the girls and had force Cora and her out to a restaurant. Ever since she had caught her mother cheating you could say there had been a divide in the family and yet no one besides Petra and her mother knew. Petra had shut herself off from her family and she tried to convince herself that she didn't care but that was far from the truth. It was just that her mothers betrayal to the family was pretty hard for Petra and it was even harder that she was forced to carry this secret.
Luckily enough Cora had spent the whole night talking about herself, she was good about that and for once Petra was not annoyed or bothered by it. Anything to keep the attention off of her was okay. Once the food was gone and Cora had talked enough for every one she quickly stood and announced that she had plans and needed to head out for the Night. Her mother started to speak but Petra shot her a glare silencing the woman. You could see the hurt in her mothers face but Petra had no remorse for the woman any more. Giving her step father a hug good bye and telling Cora she would see her tomorrow she left the restaurant, not able to leave the stuffy room fast enough. Petra actually hand't had any other plans to attend to but she soon would. Pulling out her phone she shot Edd a few texts.
"Long Dinner with the parents. Any plans tonight? I could go for a movie night and stuffing my face!"
"You bring the movies? Ill pick up the snacks. Meet me at my dorms common room in 30."
She wasn't going to bother waiting on a reply before stopping at a nearby convenient and fully preparing to raid their stash of snacks. Even if he had to bail on her she was still going to stuff her face and watch movies anyways. Though chances of him bailing seemed slim, Edd was her best friend and she had little reason to doubt him showing up. She filled up two baskets of chips, dips, candy, drinks and just a bunch of other junk that would probably keep her awake for the next 48 hours. It looked as if she was prepping for a large game day party or something. Paying for the food she headed back to her dorm room, setting her bags down in the empty common room and falling backwards on the couch staring up at ceiling as she waited for him to show.

Edd had spent most of his day out in the park, walking someone’s dog for five bucks an hour. It wasn’t much, but he got to spend time with a dog and feel the sun on the back of his neck. By the time the sun had set Edd was ready to unwind for the night, he took a quick shower and checked his phone messages.
To no surprise, he had a message from Petra. However the context of the text message was a pleasant surprise. Edd didn’t really feel like passing the night by alone and bored. He glanced to the side of his room, where he kept his Disney DVDs. He had a few cartoons on DVD as well, though lately with Netflix, Edd didn’t need to own as many things on DVD as he once had to.
Sure thing. He replied to her text, throwing his phone onto his bed. He threw on a lame tee shirt and some sweatpants, made sure his hair wasn’t dripping wet anymore, and began to throw his DVDs into a bag. It wasn’t uncommon for Edd to pop by Petra’s room for a movie marathon post-shower, so he wasn’t phased. There really was no need to go to her room sweaty from his day’s jog, after all, Disney marathon times were relaxing times.
He arrived at her door about 40 minutes later, ten minutes later than anticipated. He knocked a familiar tune on the door to her suite, the same distinct tune he always knocked every time he came over.
”Sorry i’m late,” He said, though the door wasn’t open yet. He was certain she was somewhere behind him. ”I had to make sure my phone was charged before I headed over.”

Petra hadn't even noticed that he was running late, in fact she had started to doze off before hearing the knock at the door. Go away, no soliciting... unless you have girl scout cookies she shouted as she got up and headed towards the door knowing fully that it wasn't a solicitor behind the door but Edd. Petra was lucky enough to have found a best friend that pulled out her softer, goofier, and nerdier side that most people didn't have the pleasure in seeing. It's okay I was taking a nap she said before even bothering to open the door, well it was more like a snooze. Petra turned the handle, the door creaking open.
Make yourself at home, I'm going to go change she said, considering she was still dressed pretty nicely from going out with her parents. She disappeared to her bedroom for a few minutes changing into some black leggings and a over sized black long sleeved shirt with the batman logo on it. Petra was a lover of all things fantasy, superhero, disney, video games exc.... it wasn't something many people knew about her and those that did find out really didn't expect her to be interested in those kind of things.
Okay, whats first? she said plopping down on the couch with a bag of cheetos in her hands and struggling to open the up. There weren't very many disney movies she disliked, but her favorites were the little mermaid and the lion king. Though she probably liked the little mermaid because of Ariel's red hair. Petra had natural red hair but she always felt like it made her look a little dorky, so she dyed it blonde to give her a more "mature" appearance.
I don't think I can survive another dinner with my family she said with a heavy sigh. I so need movies and junk food she said. How was your day? Anything exciting happening in the world of Edd? she asked.
