Mount Olympus [8]

Juliet

I open my eyes and study him before flipping on my back and thinking, "There was once a princess. The end."

Nic

I open my eyes and stare blankly at her, "A real story, Juliet."

Juliet

I groan and run a hand through my hair, "I don't know. I don't really have any that are interesting...or that I'd enjoy telling you."

Nic

I sigh and face the ceiling again.

Juliet

I hesitate, glancing at him before moving closer and kissing his cheek, closing my eyes again.

Nic

I close my eyes and put my cigarette out, tossing it in the trash.

Juliet

I do the same, sighing.

Spoiler

I should have thought of this yesterday... but how are we going to waste three years chit-chat-time with these two?

Nic

I sigh again and let my imagination go overboard.

Spoiler

We could skip ahead to their last year and right before they break up he could be properly introduced to Jackie. *shrugs*

Juliet

I slowly fall asleep, yawning.

Spoiler

*nods* Okay then.

Nic

I fall asleep soon after, my mind blanking.

Juliet

***TIMELAPSE: 3 YEARS***

Nic

Juliet's arm wrapped around mine, I lead her into the godforsaken school I waste seven hours five days a week of my life inside. My sleeves hide the damage I did to my wrists last night, out of lack of feeling, and I keep a displeased expression plastered on my face for all to see. Life sucks, in my opinion. Why shouldn't I be the spokesperson for that phrase?

Juliet

I study Nic as we walk into school, kissing his cheek, and sigh. I glance around, The boys winking at me, and I make a face in reply. I glance around again for Jackie, looking through the crowds.

Nic

I ignore the swooning girls and flirtatious smiles sent my way, not caring enough to wink back like I used to.

Juliet

Someone tackles me from behind and I scream, realizing it's Jackie.
