Elena meet Regina.

<General perspective>

Elena waited for Ava, her hands full of bags, as she walked back and forth inside the store. She spotted Ava, walking with a blond girl. Elena approached them and asked, "Where have you been?" Ava apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I forgot. Let's continue shopping." Elena inquired, "What about these bags?" Ava took the bags from her hands and replied, "Let's go inside the store; I know they offer delivery services."

Elena, Regina, and Ava entered the store. Ava spoke to the shop manager, arranging for all the clothes to be delivered to Anna's address. Elena glanced at Ava and gestured towards Regina, asking, "Well, who might this be?"

Ava replied, "Oh, I haven't introduced you, Elena. This is Regina, my girlfriend for a month, and Regina, this is Elena, my soon-to-be girlfriend."

Elena and Regina exclaimed, "Don't say that in public!"

Ava, rubbing the back of her head, said, "But it's true."

Elena looked at Regina and stated, "I'm Elena Houghlin, currently working for a pervert who likes to touch me when we're alone."

Ava, taken aback, asked hastily, "When did I do that?"

Elena replied, "In the office and in the car."

Ava defended herself, "I only touched your face, and I'm not a pervert."

Elena ignored Ava and looked at Regina for a response. Regina replied, "I am Regina George, currently studying in the 12th grade." Regina then looked at Elena and inquired, "What do you mean you work for her?"

Elena sighed and replied, "Well, today I had an interview, then found out that the person I admire so much is a pervert, and now that person is my boss."

Regina looked at Ava in shock. Ava noticed Regina's expression and asked, "What's with that look?" Regina replied, "I can't believe a tomboy like you is the boss of some company."

Ava asked with a confused look, "Is it that unexpected that I am her boss?"

Elena interjected, "Pervert boss."

Ava retorted, pointing at Regina, "If I'm a pervert, then what is she?"

As Ava was about to speak, Regina put her hand on Ava's mouth. Although Ava could have easily removed Regina's hand, she stopped when she saw Regina's stern look. Regina began shaking her head, and Ava nodded as Regina removed her hand.

Elena, not understanding why Regina had covered Ava's mouth, asked, "What is she?"

Ava sighed and replied, "Nothing, let's get back to shopping."

Elena nodded and dropped the matter.

After shopping, they got inside the car. Ava turned to Regina and said, "So, where do you want me to drop you?"

Regina replied sarcastically, "Of course, my home, darling."

Ava smirked and said, "Do you want me to meet your parents?"

Flustered, Regina asked, "For what?"

Ava replied, "Nothing, just want to see my future in-law."

Regina hastily said, "Who wants to marry you?"

Ava chuckled, "You don't have to reject me so soon."

Elena watched the whole drama unfold from the backseat. As she looked at Ava's smile while she talked with Regina, Elena felt a mix of emotions: jealousy, frustration, and a bit of happiness.

Ava looked at Elena and asked, "So, you left Brook Industries?"

Elena replied, "I was just an intern there, so it doesn't matter that much."

Ava nodded and said, "Then what about MIT? It's your final year."

Elena, looking out of the car window, said, "I will attend the exam. I am all prepared, so I don't have to worry."

Ava nodded and said, "If you ever need something, just tell me."

Elena nodded with a smile. This time, Regina was feeling a mix of emotions. Regina asked Ava, "Well, Ava, where did you graduate from?"

Elena remembered that Ava was a nominal director, so she might be 18 or 17.

Ava smiled and replied, "I haven't graduated because I am in 11th grade now, and I am 15 years old."

Both Regina and Elena were shocked. Regina, in particular, was most shocked, as she didn't expect Ava to be two years younger than her. Regina asked, "You're not joking, right?"

Ava chuckled, knowing that with a body like hers, no one would think she is 15.

Ava took out her ID and gave it to Regina.

Regina took the ID, double-checked it, and looked at Ava. "So, you are two years younger than me," she said, remembering all the turn of events.

Regina buried her head between her hands, reflecting on how she assaulted a 15-year-old. Ava looked at Regina and asked, "So you don't want to date me because I am younger?" Regina replied hastily, "No, no, that's not it." Ava smirked and said, "So you want to date me?" Regina shouted, "You are tricking me!" Elena, after rubbing Regina's head, glared at Ava and said, "Stop bullying her." Regina nodded in agreement. Ava looked at both of them and said, "What, now you are trying to gang up on me?" Elena replied, "I am just helping her when you are trying to bully her." Ava retorted while looking at Elena and Regina, "Me bullying her? You don't know her true nature." Elena replied, "What true nature? All I can see is a girl who is bullied," as she hugged Regina. Regina smirked at Ava. Ava noticed Regina's expression and said, "I will pay back, just wait." Regina felt a shiver down her spine, but she knew Ava was soft towards Elena. So during this month, she had to stay close to Elena.

Three of them exchanged numbers. Then Ava dropped Regina off at her house, where Karen and Gretchen were waiting for her with Regina's car.

As Regina got out of the car, Karen and Gretchen bombarded her with questions. Regina replied to their questions and assured them that she was safe, explaining that Ava was her childhood friend. Regina informed them that she would be taking a leave from school for one month.

After dropping Regina off, Ava drove the car to Anna's apartment complex. Then Ava took Elena to the apartment where she was staying.

Elena and Ava sat on the sofa. Ava, while checking something on her phone, asked, "Do you want to eat something?"

Elena thought for a moment and replied, "Anything will do."

Ava nodded and walked towards the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took out the groceries that Anna had ordered, as Ava was staying there for a whole month. After a while, Ava made sandwiches and egg rolls and placed them in front of Elena, saying, "Here is your lunch, darling."

Elena picked up a sandwich and took a bite, then said, "You made this?"

Ava nodded.

Elena continued, "They taste better than mine. Thank you."

-Ava-

Ava said, "I was an orphan in my past life, learning to cook was a must for me. I don't cook that great, but it tastes good."
