Negatives / - Life Is Strange

[Dark Star]

(Sorry for ghosting, guys. Long story short, life sucks.)

Zoe

Zoe smiled slightly at Chloe's question. "I'm the new girl in town. I don't think I'm the person to ask." Her tone was light and filled with laughter. "You have the honor of choosing our destination." She twirled a strand of her hair around her finger, thinking for a moment. "So, you aren't a student, but you sure seem to know the people here. Why did you get kicked out, Chloe?" Her tone was now teasing and mischievous. Chloe must have been a trouble maker, since she didn't seem stupid. Trouble meant the town was a whole lot more interesting than Zoe first thought.

(( It's okay. I promise. We all get busy from time to time. ))

“They do, I guess. They do seem like good friends....” Kate said. They would have to be close to upload a viral video of me like that. she thought.

“I’d hate to be sick like that. I don’t mind taking notes for her.” Brianna said. Sure she didn’t know Victoria but it was the least she could do for someone who is sick.

Max sighed. It was still too early for class. She wondered if Warren might like to hang before class.Max got out her phone and sent him a text. Hey wanna hang a bit before class starts? she hit send and walked out of her room. Max decided to go get some fresh air. It beat staying in the dorms and risk getting sick like Victoria.

NATHAN

I turn my head when I hear a door shut behind me. Max. Hm. Just the girl I wanted to see. "Enjoy your redecorating, hippie?" I snicker before turning back to Juliet. "Let your boyfriend know that I'm looking for him." I wave as she walks away.

MR. JEFFERSON

I lean against my desk, trying to ignore my pounding headache. One less problem without Victoria. "That's too bad she won't be here. I think she'd really like today's lesson.'

I could rewind, but the outcome will totally be the same. Max thought as she walked away and went to class. She didn’t want to arrive too early so she took her time.

Brianna looked at Mr.Jefferson, clearly interested in what the lesson might be. “So what is today’s lesson about?” She asked. She was just making a conversation but understood if he couldn’t answer her without all of the students present for class.

Kate remained quiet, getting her things ready before class started.

MR. JEFFERSON

"I think that should be a surprise." I grin at her while keeping a vigilant eye on Kate. "But I think you'll like it. Trust me." I give her a wink before chuckling a bit.

Brianna smiled back before also getting ready for class. She wondered where Nathan was. Then she remembered Juliet was talking with him. Would they even make it to class on time? She hoped so. “Well I’m sure as usual, the lesson will be interesting.” She said.

Kate was reading, patiently waiting for class to begin. What kind of teacher allows Nathan and Victoria to get away with what they did? They get no punishment and I feel like I’m always being watched. This was gonna be a long day.

[ Waiting for Juliet. ]

(( Are you okay? Nothing too serious, I hope. ))

Nathan

I reply before even thinking about who's talking to me. "Nah, I'm thinking about-" I turn to the voice and taken aback by Juliet. She looks a bit... winded. Like she's been running? "Oh. Uh.... hey." I whisper, giving a sheepish smile. I curse under my breath and bite my tongue. "Uh... well, I was going to see if Victoria wanted the notes from Jefferson's class, but... she doesn't seem to be answering." I give the door a swift kick as I say that, desperately trying once again to garner her attention. "Um.... sure." I place my hands in my jacket pockets before shrugging. "My... stuff is actually in my truck, don't ask." I shake my head and groan a bit, rolling my eyes. "Hayden called and said that Ms. Grant wanted Warren to tutor me, and... I just... got out and ran." I give her a weak chuckle before looking up to her again. There's a certain look in her eyes... a desperate plea to help me. She wants me to be- she's expecting me to be- that shy little boy who almost peed himself up on stage playing Caliban... but I finally got the courage to actually to do it. No thanks to Dad... he brought on that panic attack. But she's expecting me to be meek young teen... That... innocent... teen. But I'm not that little boy anymore. She wants to help, she does, but... do I want help out of this dark hole that I've dug? Would Jefferson even let me out of my obligations? Jefferson says he's the only one who truly cares about me... is that true? Do other people do, as well. My Dad certainly doesn't, that's for sure. And I haven't talked to Christian in so long... I doubt she'd even recognize me. I run a hand through my hair. "Yeah. Yeah, I'll be there. Just... gotta get my stuff."
