Although a fair few people had stayed and home was... much less appealing, Penny realized a bit too late that she could have just gone anywhere other than actually going home. She was eighteen. She could apparate anywhere she wanted to. Only problem was... she had no friends, and had nowhere to go. She wasn't speaking to Ryan or Z. She was mad at Chris and felt like he had set her up for failure with his stupid advise, and she wasn't sure if her and Etta were... friends or... well she just didn't know.
So things were weird and she wouldn't want to ask anyone to put her up and spending time with her actual family sounded incredibly unpleasant. Compared to the alternatives, she was just feeling stir crazy as opposed to perhaps real and true regret. It wasn't even that quiet, it was just... boring. Too much free time on her hands to think. She hated thinking.
An's smile when she opened the door made Penny feel far more at ease. No one really smiled at her like that. Rarely, anyway. Some did like Diego and Etta, because they were nice, but most people did not smile at Penny because she rarely smiled back. She tried one on for size now, hoping it looked as genuine as it felt because she really was excited to be here now.
"What girl doesn't need copious amounts of terrible food for girl time?" She asked, stepping inside. She set down the bag of stuff, put on her playlist for the night and stepped over to the very nice set-up An had for doing her nails. "Wow this is a lot more than I expected." She replied, though it was said in a good way, clearly not intended to be rude in any way. "Let's actually go with black and silver, maybe add a little green in there? I definitely think black background and silver stars, but -- OH no green, do gold. Gold and silver stars and fireworks."
She sat down in front of An, and set her handbag down next to her. "And uh, I might have brought some... more illicit substances if you're down." She had no idea if An drank, at least anymore, and didn't want to make the other girl uncomfortable for having brought it. She didn't really want to lie though, either.
