Mount Olympus [8]

Jackie

I nod quickly and Natalie buries her face in my stomach.

Spoiler

So, like, backwards thingy. 8th grade. *nods*

Nic

Cigarette between my teeth, I watch everyone file into junior high from my perch atop the roof. Everything seems slower than usual, due to the type of drug I'd rolled up this time, and almost amusing. I keep my hood over my head, stomp my cigarette out, and jump down to head inside as the bell rings.

Juliet

My uniform on, I head to school and get to class late. My bow in my hair, I flash a small smile at the teacher and give her the fake pass I've had for a while. She nods and marks me on time.

I take a seat in the back and look at the ceiling, sighing.

Nic

I purposefully get to class around ten minutes late and walk in like it's no big deal. Taking the spot in the very back, I kick my feet up on the desk and close my eyes.

Juliet

I do my work but fill in random answers, sighing and doodling on the back of it when I finish.

Nic

I open my eyes and glance at the girl beside me, remembering the party later tonight. Stealing a piece of paper from the kid on the other side of me, I jot down a proposal to accompany me.

Juliet

The teacher snaps at me and I glance up before standing and turning it in. She gives me a glare in thanks and I shrug before sitting back down.

Nic

I hand the girl the note when she sits back down, looking at the test or whatever in front of me and Christmas-treeing it.

Juliet

I open the note and glance at him before writing back, Sure ; ) , and hand it back.

Nic

I nod and pull my hood down, making sure she knows who I am before writing Be sure about it.

Juliet

I study him before nodding, I knew who you were when you walked in, Nic.

Nic

I nod back, smirking, before stuffing the note in my sweatshirt.

Juliet

I glance up at the clock, sighing before running a hand through my white-blonde hair.

Nic

The bell rings a little while later and I stand, looking at the girl, "This is bad. What's your name again?"

Juliet

I grab my books and study him before biting my lip, "Juliet."
