Something about the last name tacked on just feels so necessary. Then again, no one remembers that she actually has a full name . . . until the occasional teacher does the first-day rollcall and outs her as a "Lilian." She is named after her { ๐’ถ๐“Œ๐’ป๐“Š๐“๐“๐“Ž ๐‘”๐“‡๐‘œ๐“Š๐’ธ๐’ฝ๐“Ž } grandmother, and no, there is no way in hell she is ever going to be called such an old-fashioned name. Of course, her attention is happy to bounce in response to any sweet variation. Lily is the most common, but anything does just fine: Lil, Lils, Lily Pad, Lily Dilly, Lily Pie, Lily-Lou, or even Wily from her little sister. If you can dream it, she has probably answered to it. Goofing around at a movie night left her with the playful Godlilza. It normally warrants a good laugh whenever it's used. You had to be there, maybe?

She can seem a bit detached and quiet, letting her friends do the talking for her or just not caring enough about school to truly be engaged. However, she still has that coy little smile. All too often she rests her head on one hand. Maybe she's a bit bored, but that sparkle in her eye warns you that she has much more planned. And when she gets her burst of energy at night, she's a diva queen that you can't look away from. She's a million miles a minute. A shooting star you aren't quite sure you saw, but you're going to make that wish anyway.

Also, Wallas takes such cute pics. Why not rock 'em? Her current aesthetic is light pastels with an occasional pop of color. She tends to keep things soft pinks with accented cool tones. Posting too many photos of herself makes her kinda self-conscious; she would much rather show off her friends. But she is growing out of her insecurities a bit more recently. When it comes to her instagram stories, however, she is much more lax. She tends to post any silly and funny thing she enjoys that is still appropriate enough for a rinsta, regardless of its color scheme or something like that. Most of those goofy memories with her friends and memes she enjoys end up there.

If her parents ever saw that uncurated mess of a feed . . . well, she'd certainly be grounded for more than a few days. She used to be incredibly selective about who could follow the account, but drunk Lily tends to swap sinsta handles with anyone at a party. Oh well, that's life.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €Lily is basically a walking, foolish contradiction, but the woes of teenage angst are keeping that truth well-hidden from herself. She often feels like an annoying outsider โ€” a geek who would happily embarrass herself without even realizing it. Itโ€™s true that she can get carried away at parties and might still show up to school in a Halloween costume in the middle of March just cause Wallas and her texted about it the night before . . . but that same dancing queen is known to be difficult to crack and impossible to pin down. She might feel like itโ€™s one of Glenvilleโ€™s biggest mysterious if she realized it; however, most people actually regard Lily as cool.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €Sheโ€™s just unapologetically herself. Sometimes that means being goofy. Sometimes that means sitting back and letting her friends do the talking. Her novelty comes in not occupying a single stereotype or clique. She vibes with what comes and rolls with the punches. A perk of such a stable childhood, Lily is very comfortable in her own skin, and itโ€™s reflected in the way that she doesnโ€™t bullshit or overcompensate. She often is more of a listener, although donโ€™t go to her for advice necessarily. She is way too immature to do the responsible thing in her own life, let alone even try to recommend it to someone else. But to shit talk your ex? Relate to your woes? Rebuild your confidence? Lily is your girl!

    โ €โ €โ € โ €Just make sure you have the right timing. After midnight, sheโ€™s not exactly listening anymore. The wild Godlilza is probably way too busy dragging you to another party and bopping her heart out on the dance floor. To those who don't know her well, a bit of her enigma is aided by the fact that Lil doesnโ€™t want to be popular, go out of her way to get to know everyone, or anything like that. She thinks sheโ€™s content to have her little world, even though sheโ€™s about to learn how important it is to truly expand your horizons.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €Lilian Spencer Vega was born to two loving parents. The big problem, of course, was not that she was born; it was when. Her mother was only sixteen and her father just a few months older. Both of their families were involved in the labyrinth of politics and lobbying in D.C. Teen pregnancy was not supposed to be on the agenda for the sweethearts. While there was certain pressure to get rid of the child, both Marie and Rasco knew that this was part of their story that they wanted to continue. The doubt and hatred spat in their direction didn't destroy their relationship; it only made it stronger. But they didn't need the eye rolls and the glances from their own parents about the way they "gave up their futures." Marie still got her GED online. Rasco graduated at the near-top of his class. Sure, neither had intentions of going to college, but why should that mean their lives would end?

    โ €โ €โ € โ €So after three years of saving up more money and watching their flower princess begin to bloom into a wonderful little girl, they were able to leave the judgemental glances behind. They wanted to live somewhere with, one, more affordable rent, and, two, those happy winding streets of small towns that care. Glenville became their new paradise.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €Among its quaint shops and quiet houses, Lily basked in a joyful, carefree childhood. The Vegas didn't have much, but Lily never noticed when she was young. Marie's flower shop and Rasco's plumbing work sustained a basic enough income. They lived in one of the smaller houses and took road trips to nearby landmarks instead of grand vacations across the country. Who really needs a big mansion when the wonderful world of Marie's Flower Boutique made for the perfect backdrop of childhood fantasies? Between all the hilarious family traditions, giggles, and endless affection, Lily never thought about how she had secondhand clothes or last year's "hit toy." None of that truly mattered to her.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €At school, Lil didn't have the best of luck in making friends. The girls who would be her future soulmates always seemed to be in the other classes; she didn't know to look twice their way. It was like every time she made a friend, they moved to a different place or ended up being mean to her on the playground. It didn't make that much of an impact on her back then, but in the long term, it has made her a bit jealous and easily protective. Back then, she had a very active imagination for her own games and two young parents who were always happy to indulge in her fun. However, the day that she became a Lazy Daisy girl will always be one of her greatest memories. She is terrified of losing the friends that mean absolutely everything to her.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €From ten years old to high school, Lily has spent nearly all of her time with those girls. Of course, the promises and the group name became more of an informal joke as they grew older. New friends joined their hilarious antics with a warm welcome. It hasn't always been smooth sailing; they are not without their fights. But the grand adventures and hilarious moments have far out-weighed any bumps in the friendship.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €Lil began to realize the value of money when she caught her parents crying and fighting over it at age twelve. She shattered her piggy bank on the ground and gave them all $26 she had accumulated, but of course, that made no impact on the situation. For days, Lily begged to be allowed to be the town's morning paper girl. They didn't want their little angel to have to think like that . . . to worry . . . to not be carefree. But eventually, they caved to her offer. Lily has been a worker bee ever since. She never asked to play sports or an instrument; she knew those kinds of expenses were unnecessary. Instead, she spent her free time finding odd jobs until she was finally old enough to get hired at Chewy's Diner. She is very proud to be independent financially. Of course, not for everything, but her phone, clothes, brunch dates, and movie addictions are all on her own dime.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €Her heart grew in size three years ago when Marie got pregnant again. Little Magnolia is the turning point of which Lily's whole life rotates around. She would do anything for her baby sister. If only growing up was as easy as being young. Lily has not been without her own crazy teenage phase, by any means. She may not be as rebellious as Ruby or as secretive as Mali, but there's a fire behind her that can cause quite the damage. In this snapchat-filtered, instagram-perfect world, kids are getting into trouble more easily than ever before. She locked lips with a handsome gentleman as early as twelve. { ๐’ช๐’ป ๐’ธ๐‘œ๐“Š๐“‡๐“ˆ๐‘’, ๐’ฟ๐“Š๐“ˆ๐“‰ ๐’ฝ๐‘’๐“‡ ๐“๐“Š๐’ธ๐“€, ๐’ฝ๐‘’ ๐“‚๐‘œ๐“‹๐‘’๐’น ๐’ถ๐“Œ๐’ถ๐“Ž ๐“ƒ๐‘œ๐“‰ ๐“๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐‘” ๐’ถ๐’ป๐“‰๐‘’๐“‡. } Lily took her first sip of alcohol at the ripe age of fourteen, and she chose to have sex not long after.

    โ €โ €โ € โ €Unlike at school, where she felt constantly inadequate, Lily was confident in the party scene. It was like she finally found her place among the bright lights and loud music. She had always loved to dance; liquid courage fueled a new side of her that she had never expected to find. Her propensity for the "after hours" just increased with age. Even when her parents found out, took away her phone, grounded her for a weekend . . . Well, the consequences just never seemed to sink in. She's got her Daisy girls. She's got her dreams. Why not keep living it up however she wants? This is senior year, after all. The last chance. The grand finale. Life's wild party is just getting started.

    โ €โ €โ €๐’ถ๐’ท๐‘œ๐“Š๐“‰ โ€บ Marie's a bit of a whirlwind. She wants to be everywhere at once, and Marie has high ambitions. She works very hard to keep her small business up and running, with every little detail being hand-picked by her. Of course, a secret part of her wonders what she could have achieved if she didn't get pregnant so young, but she loves her little family more than anything in the world. She wouldn't change anything about the life she has built with her husband and kids, even when it gets hard. Most of the family's more outlandish and creative traditions have come from her ideas. She's an endless ball of fun and new ideas, which is what keeps her business so interesting even though it's "just a flower shop."
    โ €โ €โ €๐“‡๐‘’๐“๐’ถ๐“‰๐’พ๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐“ˆ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“… โ€บ Marie and Lily are very close. She has always felt like she could tell her mother almost anything. When Lily started to have sex, it didn't take her long to discuss it with Marie. She has created a very safe, judgment-free zone for her daughter. Marie helped get Lily on birth control that works for her. Although Lily's partying has strained some things lately because Marie does not approve at all, it is more because she wants her daughter to be successful in ways she never could be. She wants Lily to actually start being responsible and thinking ahead for a change, but that lesson is proving harder to teach than Marie expected.

    โ €โ €โ €๐’ถ๐’ท๐‘œ๐“Š๐“‰ โ€บ The calm of the Vega household. Maybe Lily's quiet calm comes from her dad. Most people think of him as intimidating and stern. He's kind of thought of as a weird loner around town because he doesn't really care about making friends with some of the other parents. Truthfully, a lot of that has to do with the judgment and problems that Marie and Rasco faced with their young pregnancy. He worked extra hard to shield his wife from the terrible things people said about them. She already had to go through dropping out of high school and those terrible looks from strangers; he wouldn't let her be hurt by the people who knew her also. So yeah, he is pretty closed off to other adults. It's no secret that Lily's friends' parents are quite a few years older than Rasco and Marie. He is a truly wonderful father he would do anything for his children and amazing wife, but the lack of fulfillment in his life does get to him sometimes. It doesn't help that he blames most of their financial woes on himself.
    โ €โ €โ €๐“‡๐‘’๐“๐’ถ๐“‰๐’พ๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐“ˆ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“… โ€บ Lily trusts her mother more when it comes to things like boys, but it's Rasco she goes to for advice. He's always just seemed like the wisest and bravest thing in the whole world to her. She's always been a daddy's girl. He picks her up when she falls, whether that be a scrape on her knee when she's four or gets her heart broken at sixteen.

    โ €โ €โ €๐’ถ๐’ท๐‘œ๐“Š๐“‰ โ€บ Don't let the nickname Maggie fool you; Marie somehow convinced Rasco to name both of their daughters after flowers. Must be that mischievous smile, which Lily and Maggie both seem to have inherited. Maggie is in a HUGE coloring stage. She wants a million pictures of princesses printed off to fall prey to her rainbow crayons. And, yes, her poor bedroom walls have suffered so many times that Rasco and Marie are just waiting a bit before they decide to paint over it again. This little dynamite wants to wear endless pink bows and fluffy tutus . . . while simultaneously running through the muddy creek of Glenville. She's basically an honorary Lazy Daisy. At the very least, she's the cutest member of the crew by a unanimous vote.
    โ €โ €โ €๐“‡๐‘’๐“๐’ถ๐“‰๐’พ๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐“ˆ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“… โ€บ Still a typical three-year-old with some meltdowns and a hatred of bedtime that can drive Lily crazy, there is nothing in this universe that she loves more than her Maggie. She lets Maggie sit on her lap for every meal and movie. They go to the park whenever Maggie asks. Lily wants Maggie to grow up just as happy as she did, and all three of the Vegas try to make every moment feel like sunshine.

Being tied down to Lily from basically fourteen years old terrified him. She was so intense; he wanted to match her passion. However, between growing up and all the hot girls at his school and Lily being two years younger { ๐“Œ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐’ธ๐’ฝ ๐’พ๐“ˆ ๐’ฝ๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐‘’๐“ˆ๐“‰๐“๐“Ž ๐’ถ ๐“๐‘œ๐“‰ ๐’ถ๐“‰ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“ˆ ๐“ˆ๐“‰๐’ถ๐‘”๐‘’ ๐‘œ๐’ป ๐“๐’พ๐’ป๐‘’ }, Leo cheated. A lot. He somehow justified it to himself by thinking things like, โ€œI canโ€™t truly commit to her if I don't know what else is out there. Iโ€™ll wonder forever if I donโ€™t find out myself. She never has to know. I wonโ€™t hurt her.โ€ A whole pile of bullshit. And it turns out that he canโ€™t really quit her either. Leo likes the man Lily always saw him as; he wants to be that person she knew before he cheated. Heโ€™s majoring in History not that far away, and even though youโ€™re not supposed to handle liquor until youโ€™re also 21, he has a cash-under-the-table gig at a college bar that pays pretty well with tips. Leo always thought he would go far away for school, but here is he instead, closer to Lily now than heโ€™s been in six years. Itโ€™s temptation at its finest.
    โ €โ €โ €๐“‡๐‘’๐“๐’ถ๐“‰๐’พ๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐“ˆ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“… โ€บ Leo, Leo, Leo, Leo.

The crew knows to not say his name these days, not with the two of them being on such awful terms after . . . everything. Where to even begin? When Lily was twelve, she had her first kiss with him. Her dad would most certainly NOT have let her out of the house that night if he knew she was going to hang out with a boy two whole years older, but what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. They giggled and walked all through town together, finally sharing a kiss after they finished their iconic Chewy's milkshakes.

Maybe in a different time, that would be the end of their story. But this is the 21st century, where kids have all kinds of technology at their fingertips. No matter how far away someone is physically, you never have to lose touch. And they didn't. Nearly every day, Leo and Lily { ๐ฟ๐‘’๐‘œ๐“๐“Ž, ๐“Œ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐’ธ๐’ฝ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐‘’๐“Ž ๐’ฟ๐‘œ๐“€๐‘’ ๐“ˆ๐‘œ๐“Š๐“ƒ๐’น๐“ˆ ๐“๐’พ๐“€๐‘’ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐‘’ ๐“ƒ๐’ถ๐“‚๐‘’ ๐‘œ๐’ป ๐’ถ ๐’ป๐’ถ๐“ƒ๐’ธ๐“Ž ๐ผ๐“‰๐’ถ๐“๐’พ๐’ถ๐“ƒ ๐“ƒ๐‘œ๐‘œ๐’น๐“๐‘’ } were in contact. Funny photos. Silly jokes. Long rants. They shared it all.
    โ €โ €โ €He was 100 miles away, but his family also had a significant more amount of money than hers did. Their beach house was practically in the middle of their two towns. Lily was fifteen when she tried to pull off the heist of her life. Leia helped her sneak away for the weekend under the guise of them going to the beach with her parents. Except, oops. Of course, the Niederreiters weren't actually gone for the weekend, which got pretty awkward when Marie saw them at the store. So the absolute fairytale that was seeing her beloved Leo, having sex for the first time, and all the other whims of teenage fantasies was quickly shattered by her parents arriving and dragging her back home.
    โ €โ €โ €She had the grounding of a lifetime. No phone. No friends. They drove her to school. They picked her up from school. It was two weeks of misery. But Lily could still log onto her snapchat on someone else's phone during passing period to tell Leo how much she loved him. Plus, she had the trump card: โ€œMom, I just want the love story that you and dad have.โ€ How could she be told that the true love she had at fifteen wasnโ€™t real when they had the same? So as soon as her phone was back in her hands, she was back to making more plans with Leo . . . although now with her parentsโ€™ reluctant permission.
    โ €โ €โ €There would be nothing to write if they had a happy ending already. As it turns out, Leo viewed the โ€exclusiveโ€ part of their relationship to be mostly optional, and he was able to get away with it for years because of the distance. When Lily found out, she was destroyed. She never wanted to see him again, but he did, unfortunately, come even closer to Glenville when he started university last fall. Lily wants to quit him for good, but heโ€™s her first love. Her first everything. Itโ€™s hard for her heart to let go. Or at least it was, until six months ago . . .

He doesnโ€™t have to fit into a traditional box of masculinity just because you donโ€™t understand him. Max is always way, way to hip for Glenville. He canโ€™t wait to run away to New York for college. He never wanted to come back, but spending a summer working at the flower shop and seeing Lily and her friends all the time again made him suspiciously interested in coming home for school breaks.

If she ever hears homophobic or biphobic comments about him, she tends to go on a rampage. They were mostly just casual friends ever since their odd, short relationship. But now they're closer than ever before, and Lily might regret some of what happened between them. As he's about to leave, she doesn't see any reason to act on it now. It would only hurt both of them.

He's the one at every party that gets toasted too early and drunk too late, putting the brunt of his intoxication on one of the Lazy Daisy Crew kids. You'll be surprised to find him hiding his notebook or phone away from you when you catch him off guard. He'll secretly be scrawling poetry and researching how to fix the political system. If thereโ€™s ever a question of if he meddled single-handedly, call his partner in crime, Chris - heโ€™ll fall right apart.
    โ €โ €โ €๐“‡๐‘’๐“๐’ถ๐“‰๐’พ๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐“ˆ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“… โ€บ Soulmates arenโ€™t real. Ew. At least, two stubborn and young kids like this most certainly think itโ€™s a hoax. Lily easily gets tired of hearing about other people finding Wilby โ€œsooo dreamy.โ€ Sheโ€™s known him through those awkward braces and gangly limbs and when he was so picky about his food that he basically only ate grilled cheese for an entire year. When she looks at him, all she sees is that goofy smile thatโ€™s up to all kinds of no good. It was never going to be more than that. Except, well, this ** happened . . . And now he keeps making jokes about how heโ€™s her Schmidt. But he only does it when no one else can hear because there are strict terms for their arrangement. If a single person finds out theyโ€™ve been sleeping together for โ€” ๐’พ๐“ƒ๐“‰๐‘’๐“‡๐“ƒ๐’ถ๐“ ๐“ˆ๐’ธ๐“‡๐‘’๐’ถ๐“‚ โ€” six months? Then the whole thing is getting called off.
    โ €โ €โ €Neither of them wants to date each other. I mean, come on. Itโ€™s senior year. Getting together now is basically relationship suicide. Who knows how far apart theyโ€™ll be next year. Plus, it would change the whole friend group dynamic. If something bad happens, people will have to choose sides. And Lily hates the idea of being teased about it all the time. What if she just doesnโ€™t want to sit next to him at the crewโ€™s brunch? Would she hear the end of it? They canโ€™t let some carnal fling affect anything.
    โ €โ €โ €Well, they donโ€™t realize that it already is changing the way they interact around other people. Something is definitely a bit fishy. Now theyโ€™re aggressively avoiding eye contact when theyโ€™re with others so no one thinks to catch on, all because they secretly canโ€™t keep their hands off each other. No emotions. No consequences on their friendship. No one has to know. Right? RIGHT?
    โ €โ €โ €Too bad for the way Lily makes Wilby feel so safe. Sheโ€™s one of the only people heโ€™s discussed how hard his momโ€™s abandonment has really been on him. And the things she says about them dating being such a bad idea are true; thatโ€™s why Wilby always agrees. She keeps making it clear that she is just here for a good time. { ๐’ฉ๐‘œ๐“‰ ๐“‰๐‘œ ๐“‚๐‘’๐“ƒ๐“‰๐’พ๐‘œ๐“ƒ ๐’ถ๐“๐“ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐‘œ๐“ˆ๐‘’ ๐“๐’พ๐“ƒ๐‘”๐‘’๐“‡๐’พ๐“ƒ๐‘” ๐’พ๐“ˆ๐“ˆ๐“Š๐‘’๐“ˆ ๐’ป๐“‡๐‘œ๐“‚ ๐’ฝ๐‘’๐“‡ ๐“‡๐‘’๐“๐’ถ๐“‰๐’พ๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐“ˆ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“… ๐“Œ๐’พ๐“‰๐’ฝ ๐ฟ๐‘’๐‘œ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐’ถ๐“‰ ๐“€๐‘’๐‘’๐“… ๐’ฝ๐‘’๐“‡ ๐’ป๐“‡๐‘œ๐“‚ ๐’ท๐‘’๐’พ๐“ƒ๐‘” ๐’ถ๐’ท๐“๐‘’ ๐“‰๐‘œ ๐’ธ๐‘œ๐“‚๐“‚๐’พ๐“‰. } She loves how goofy he is, how goofy they can be together, and she is too scared of losing her friend. The sex means nothing . . . supposedly. Wilby is #1 when it comes to using sarcasm and humor to deflect things, so he's got this.

Attached at the hip since the front-toothless wonder chased the daring girl down the street on bikes, Wallace refuses to admit that Benji is a part of the Lazy Daisy Crew; she just wants to keep him as her own. Benjamin Walker is the lanky forward on the Greendale soccer team, the star shooter on the basketball squad, and the hardball hitter on the baseball team. An athlete to his core, Ben is one of the goofiest boys you have ever met, and dumbest according to Wallas B. Despite all of the speculations: Wallas and Benji PROMISE they are NOT dating, ick, disgusting . . .
    โ €โ €โ €๐“‡๐‘’๐“๐’ถ๐“‰๐’พ๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐“ˆ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“… โ€บ Ben and Lily are friends by association. They have plenty of fun memories together and have gotten into their fair share of trouble, especially as they get older and alcohol influences some of their decisions. But it's no secret that Wallas likes to keep him to herself. Lily has yelled at Ben on more than one occasion for not dating Wally already, which, of course, just makes things worse. Lily really won't let it go, though. She's way too stubborn for that. It also means she'll do whatever she can to get them together already.

Chris is a listener, an intellect, a strong voice of reason. The yin to Wilbyโ€™s yang, the two goofballs can never get anything done when theyโ€™re together and itโ€™s not unusual for the ladies to split them up when theyโ€™re chuckling too much in the back of the movie everyone wants to see.

They normally just hang out in a group, though they do get along just swimmingly. It's gotten much, much more awkward since Lily started to sleep with Wilby. She feels like Chris can see right through her, so she basically avoids him like the plague. However, his voice of reason still reaches her ear sometimes. He keeps a lot of the group grounded, which Lily certainly needs on occasion too. Just, ugh, not right now, okay?! Chris, on the other hand, is quite amused at Lily. Did she really think Wilby could get laid and not immediately tell him? Tsk, tsk.

It wasn't, like, bad or anything. They just didn't really know what they were doing. And they certainly didn't know how to talk about it after. Lily's small crush on him was more like a sweet little pining from afar. She still had that weird online thing with Leo at the time, so their casual makeout really never meant anything to either of them. Maybe Lily should hang out with him more these days; he might actually be able to keep her ridiculous self more grounded. Although they aren't often found chatting, Lily absolutely adores him. He's like the sweet little smol that the group would protect at all costs.

Itโ€™s no secret sheโ€™s got the highest โ€œbody countโ€ of the crew. She knows sheโ€™s smart about protection, and anyone stupid enough to judge her isnโ€™t worth her time anyway. And, no, she doesnโ€™t go โ€œall the wayโ€ with every guy she makes out with at a party. It is not her fault that alcohol just makes her want to kiss somebody on the lips. Luckily for her, Lilโ€™s friends have been nothing but supportive of her living her best life. And drama doesnโ€™t often follow in the wake of her very brief entanglements. She almost exclusively hooks up with boys from other schools, just to โ€œkeep work and play separate.โ€ Also because sheโ€™s known most of Glenvilleโ€™s boys since forever. The idea of kissing them? Truly revolting. Then a drunken night of two truths and a lie sent her falling down the rabbit hole that is Wilby Rhodes. The problem is that Lily is all kinds of messed up from Leo. If theyโ€™re just going to be long-distance next year, she canโ€™t put herself out there to be cheated on again. She has mad trust issues, and she refuses to let someone hurt her like that again. Lily is basically coming around to believing she will never have what her parents do, but at least she has her friends. Oh wait, even theyโ€™re moving away from her next year. Maybe she should buy another cat . . .
    โ €โ €โ €๐“‰๐“;๐’น๐“‡ โ€บ Lily is dazed and confused. The only for sure thing in her romantic life seems to be that sheโ€™s a straight-up fool and can mess every possible thing up.

In fourth grade, she swooned over Damien without going up to him a single time. So when she found herself falling for another boy two years later, she vowed to finally let him know. That's how the long story with Leo began. Although they talked all the time after he moved away, they didn't see each other for nearly three years. Lily never stopped like-liking him, but a few more came and went briefly during middle school: Max Howard, Bodie Lewis, Nicky Bender . . . During high school, however, it's been less about crushes and more about "convenience." She doesn't want her heart shattered again, so she's been ignoring and stifling any of those types of feelings. Many-a-boy have been good for hooking up occasionally, but none of them have been worth crushing on. And she would still say that now, even with things with Wilby heating up. Although some of her friends are still in the "boys are gross" stage, Lily is firmly in the "feelings are gross" one.

However, she does like to know just for her own sake, which is why she keeps a little secret list on her phone notes with almost all the boys she has shared even the most harmless of kisses with. There are a few in the more recent years which she decided aren't worth mentioning because a peck at 16 doesn't matter like it did at 13, but the list is mostly inclusive. In case someone else sees it, she has given all the boys nicknames. But any of her closest friends could probably figure out most of them, oops.

The famous last words of Mali Williams. However, she was equally known to meet Lily's mischevious smile after only one protest. All it took for Lily to break her down was a flick of her hair and a soft, "Don't you want to be remembered for more than some graduation speech?" She knew it would hit a nerve. Wordlessly, Mali grabbed one of the sparkling sheer tops from Lily's bed. "Alright. I like this one." They put extra time into their contour and eyeliner to try and make their little baby faces pass for girls who could get into a senior party. If their boobs were out, would they really get questioned? { "๐’ฒ๐‘’'๐“‡๐‘’ ๐‘”๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐“ƒ๐’ถ ๐’ฝ๐’ถ๐“‹๐‘’ ๐“‰๐‘œ ๐“…๐“Š๐“๐“ ๐‘œ๐“Š๐“‰ ๐’ถ๐“๐“ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐‘’ ๐“ˆ๐“‰๐‘œ๐“…๐“ˆ. ๐ผ ๐’ธ๐’ถ๐“ƒ'๐“‰ ๐’ท๐‘’๐“๐’พ๐‘’๐“‹๐‘’ ๐ผ'๐“‚ ๐“ˆ๐’ถ๐“Ž๐’พ๐“ƒ๐‘” ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“ˆ, ๐’ท๐“Š๐“‰ ๐“Œ๐‘’ ๐“ƒ๐‘’๐‘’๐’น ๐“‰๐‘œ ๐“Œ๐‘’๐’ถ๐“‡ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐‘’ ๐ต๐‘œ๐“‚๐’ท๐“ˆ๐’ฝ๐‘’๐“๐“ ๐’ท๐“‡๐’ถ๐“ˆ." } It was a hazy night. Dreamy older boys โ” even though Lily was dating Leo so all she did was smile politely. Their first real cocktails. Disgusting sips of beer when the liquor ran out. Lots of dancing. The beginning of much more to come . . . especially when a certain someone drank way too many Malibus. Oh yeah. If Mali thinks she is ever going to live that wild night or that nickname down, then she's about to be severely disappointed.

    โ €โ €โ €"Back so soon?" Lily's dad quips. "How was school, darling?"

    โ €โ €โ €His teenager only glares in his direction. "Just because I had to come home for the third time doesn't mean you can keep making the same joke." Her scowl is only met with laughter from both Rasco and little Maggie, tucked safely in her high chair.

    โ €โ €โ €"Wily forgot! Wily forgot!" her toddler voice giggles.

    โ €โ €โ €'Wily' spins on her heels and bounds up the stairs. "I'm gonna be late if I have to keep dealing with you people!"

    โ €โ €โ €"Pretty sure you're gonna be late because you're the one that can't remember anything!" her dad howls behind her. More laughter breaks out between the dynamic breakfast duo, but the end of his jest is lost as Lily slams her bedroom door behind her. The white walls normally feel like home, covered in dried flowers and memories with her friends. Now they only join her family in mocking her.

    โ €โ €โ €"Keys, keys, keys, keys," Lil mumbles under her breath as she searches desperately for the chain full of tourist destination souvenirs. Her friends keep thinking she collects them for some reason; they always bring her one home from their trips. At some point, Lily stopped asking questions, accepting that she might as well build her stockpile of geeky keyrings.

    โ €โ €โ €More importantly, they are supposed to make finding her diner key much easier. As she lifts the corner of her bed and throws piles of clothes across the room, she can only curse the decorations for failing her like this. How is she going to finish up the closing shift at Chewy's without the damn thing that locks the door?

    โ €โ €โ €"MOOO โ”"

    โ €โ €โ €Her scream doesn't even reach a crescendo. Like the sixth sense all moms seem to have, Marie gracefully swings the door open. A familiar tinkling snaps Lily's full attention.

    โ €โ €โ €"Looking for these?"

    โ €โ €โ €Lil only responds with wide, guilty eyes.

    โ €โ €โ €"Isn't the point of using the bowl by the door so we don't have to have these episodes?"

    โ €โ €โ €A crooked smile.

    โ €โ €โ €"Love you, Mama!" she gushes and runs beside her. With a soft kiss on the cheek and quick tuck of the keyring in her backpack's side pocket, Lily is off and running once again.

    โ €โ €โ €"I'll call the school and excuse your tardy." It's Marie's special way of saying I love you too. Her daughter is already flying out the front door to freedom.

    โ €โ €โ €Even though Lily is most certainly late, she doesn't ride her bike with fever to make it to school on time. She has hardly a care in the world as the spring breeze tangles through her hair. Warmth and happiness fill her up from the inside out. Even when Lily can have an attitude with her family, she loves every second of their jokes and shared laughs. It's nearly the end of her junior year of high school. She might only have one year left with those precious moments, before she goes to college or moves somewhere or who knows what. As her mother always proudly says, sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses . . . especially if they come from Marie's Flower Boutique.

    โ €โ €โ €"On second thought," she accidentally mumbles out loud. Lil skillfully grabs her phone and rides her bike at the same time, years of practice supporting plenty of such bad habits. Her fingers fly knowingly across the screen without even glancing down from her path.

    โ €โ €โ €"DITCH! DITCH! DITCH!" she spits out three messages in rapid-fire to a much-beloved group chat. Three little dots immediately begin to dance in the bottom corner. Now the grin on Lily's face isn't guilty; it's truly wicked.

    โ €โ €โ €"Wallas reporting for duty! Where's our adventure, captain?"
