"Alright, what's on the schedule for today?"

Joe stared down at his feet as he walked along the sidewalk, heading to school, as he usually might on a Tuesday morning. Of course, now it was once again usual- apparently- for his two favorite ghost uncles to walk alongside him.

"Uh... get through the day and try to keep myself calm when I get home and wait for my parents to get back from their court thing?"

"Interesting," Remy ran a hand through his hair. "As long as I can leave before I have to see your family again- god, last night was a nightmare."

"It looked like you were having fun," Emile commented with a small smile. "Are you sure you hated it?"

"Hey. My hatred of Logan and Patton is separate from my belief you and Patton should be besties."

"Yet you still hate my dad-?" Joe asked. "Why would you want him and Emile to be friends?"

"Because? Trust me, kid. They're like- identical. But also not really. You'll see."

"Sure, sure..." Joe adjusted his backpack straps. "Can you guys at least stay with me until they get home, though? I'm really nervous."

"Of course," Emile smiled. "I don't have any work to do today anyway."

Remy coughed. "Mhm."

After a bit more chatting and walking, the three arrived at school, and Joe headed up to his first period, which was Health and Fitness, as usual. And everything seemed as per usual when they walked in, until Joe made eye contact with someone at the back of the room.

His eyes immediately hit the floor instead- right. Oliver was gonna have to come back to school eventually. Remy raised his eyebrows and looked between the two.

"Ayo. Ex-boyfriend, seven-fifty-something o'clock."

Joe scurried to his seat, which was luckily some ways away from his ex, hoping he or Oliver could figure out a way not to sit next to each other in their photography class later on.

"I think they saw each other already," Emile mumbled. Joe tapped his foot on the ground.

"I know. This is your first time seeing him in a while, isn't it? Damn. Well, my first time seeing my high school ex-boyfriend after our breakup was in a court room, so at least we're not there."

"We might as well be," Joe said underneath his breath. Emile sighed. Soon enough, more students walked in and took their seats- including Sage- and class began. The teacher took her place at her desk as the bell rang.

"Alright, to kick things off with our next Health unit, we're going to be having a group project."

"Oh my god," Remy mumbled, not being able to keep in a laugh. "So that's what's happening?" He glanced upward. "Kinda brilliant. Who's it gonna be, then?"

"As we move into learning more about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, you'll be put in partners to begin with and you'll make a research project with them about one of the topics I'll put on Google classrooms. It'll be due in two days, and I am going to be assigning partners randomly."

"...Yeah, I'm sorry, Joe, this won't be random," Emile mumbled. Remy laughed once more, and Joe took a strained, deep breath.

For some reason, he was inclined to believe them- there wasn't any reason for it, but he was sure he was gonna get paired with someone he didn't wanna be paired with. It would either be Sage or Oliver. He honestly wasn't sure which one would end up being more awkward...
