Not just another night out [[Olive and Summer]]

[whenyouearnit]

It's been more than a good night, it's been exactly the night that Rebekah's been needing. Everything from the decision to go out together to the way they'd all gotten ready at Rebekah's apartment, swapping dresses and makeup and dancing to the cds that Olive had brought. Even the time at the club had been good. There'd been drinks, dancing and a few boys who'd thankfully gotten the hint when the girls made it clear that they weren't there to flirt.

Really, she should have known it had been going too well. These sorts of things never worked out for her and this should be no exception. They were still a few blocks away from Rebekah's when she heard the footsteps behind them. At first she thought it was someone else walking home the way they were, but as they became loud enough for even the other girls to hear she knew that it wasn't just a coincidence. She's about to say something, to hurry them along to a better lit area when there's laughter and running. She turns in time to see three men coming at them, two of them brandishing knives.

"C'mon little ladies. Hand over your bags or we'll take 'em and you won't like that."

It's been a fantastic night, the kind of thing Olive knows she won't get to do much of when school starts up again, and she's been enjoying every second of it — up until now. Now she's not sure which instinct is worse: the way that has her breathing a silent sigh of relief that all they want is her purse or the fact that her immediate reaction is to wrinkle up her nose and raise an eyebrow, barely biting back the words before they leave her mouth and cause unnecessary trouble. Really? Is my life suddenly a movie after all? Because you did not just pull that cheesy shit on us.

"Sorry, boys, we're headed home," is what comes out instead, flippant as she walks a little faster. Maybe, maybe, if they keep moving, they'll come into a brighter area or catch sight of a cop. As she walks, she pulls her purse in front of her, clicking it open so she can dig for her phone. Maybe going for the knife she's carrying would be smarter, but if she can get her phone out fast, she can get their picture, and maybe that'll scare them off.
