Nic

I toss Jace on the other bed and pull the covers over him, sitting in the chair across the room and sighing.

Rayah

I wake the next morning, yawning as I sit up. I feel something in my stomach again and fall back again, eyes closing again as I take a deep breath.

Jace

I wake to a headache and stumble into the bathroom, the bell ringing. As I'm washing my face and getting ready to take a shower, Nic appears in the doorway and scares the hell out of me. I shove him back and close the door, shaking my head. Ready, I walk back out before being forced to sit in the chair.

"Nope," Nic says, "Not yet."

Rayah

Jackie wakes, yawning and looking at me, "You alright?"

I shake my head, "No..."

She feels my forehead and chuckles, "Faker. Go get ready."

I moan and stand, looking through my stuff before locking myself in the bathroom.

Jace

I glare at Nic, yawning. Ugh. School. Why do I have to go?

Rayah

"can I borrow some of your clothes?" Jackie asks through the door, "I enrolled myself as a eighteen year old... And need to look teenage-ish."

"whatever," I mumble, throwing a shirt on, "You won't fit in them."

She chuckles and looks through my suitcase, "We shall see about that.."

Jace

Nic looks at Jackie, "Oh... that's a good idea."

He walks out before saying anything more. I shake my head at him and sigh.

Rayah


Jackie chuckles at Nic and I come out of the bathroom, Jackie going in and then coming out, looking like a teenager. She puts those funny nerd glasses on and smiles, "How do I look?"

"Sexy," I joke, flashing a smile.

She laughs and shakes her head, fixing her glasses before putting converse on.

Jace

I watch the two, flashing smiles, before Nic comes back in and sits on my lap.

"Ew, Nic," I push him off, "You're not a little kid. Don't do that."

Rayah

I laugh at the boys and Jackie takes a deep breath, fixing her shorts. I raise an eyebrow at her, "They'll let you wear that?"

She smiles, "With this a*s...I think they won't give a sh*t."

I scoff before messing up her hair, stealing her glasses.

Jace

I cover Nic's mouth before he can say anything in response to that, shoving him in the bathroom to get dressed.

Rayah

"My new name is...Brianna," Jackie smiles, "Brianna Freedman."

I smile at her, "You do look like a Brianna."

She nods and plops down on my bed, "Exactly."

Jace

Nic comes back out wearing one of my jackets and jeans and I shake my head, making a mental note not to take those back. He leans against the door frame and sighs.

"I'm not changing my name," he announces, "I value its sexiness too much."

Rayah

Jackie bursts out laughing at that and nods, "It is sexy."

I resist puking and flick her in the ear multiple times, "Please shut up."

She smiles and looks at me, "Whaaat? You sad you can't have this?" She jokes, squeezing me in a hug.

I cough and shake my head, "God no."

Jace

Nic chuckles at them and I flash a smile, watching it all. The bell rings again and I stand, slinging my bag over my shoulder.

"We going?" I ask everyone, looking at the window nervously.
