Obscurity (2) - JJ Maybank

PRAYERS PT I.

"Wake, yo lazy ass up!" Jenson yelled as they splashed water down on Aria who was currently still asleep.

"Hey?! You are gonna pay for that," Aria groaned moving around.

"We have a test today, well I don't you do, Pope Heyward told me to wake you up," Jenson replied as they started to look through her clothes and get an outfit for her.

"I'm starting to not like that you are friends with my friends now," Aria mumbled standing up.

"Suck it buttercup, let's get this show on the road," Jenson talked happily walking out of Aria's room to let her get changed.

"Stuff you!" Aria yelled but still got changed for school.

...

Aria was balancing her pencil between her nose and lips as the rest of the class attempted the test. Aria had absolutely no idea what was on the test but she had answered some questions.

The classroom door opening snapped Aria out of her focus and the pencil fell from her lips. Aria looked up to see a man wearing a suit and Mr Sunn making his way over the man.

"Mr Sunn, can I borrow Pope for a minute?" The man asked.

"We're in the middle of a test," Mr Sunn told.

"I'm from the Vanderhorst Foundation," The man told. Aria smiled slightly hoping it was going to be good news for Pope

"Mr Heyward, it's for you," Mr Sunn told.

"Thank you. Good to see you, Pope," The man said as he closed the door behind Pope.

Aria squinted her eyes at the door then turned to look at her friends. Kie had gone back to the test but JJ and Aria made eye contact. He raised an eyebrow almost questioning what was going on.

Aria shrugged and picked up her pencil and situated it back between her nose and lips waiting for the class to be over with. Pope suddenly re-entered the classroom macking Aria's pencil drop once again.

"Seriously?"She mumbled going to pick it up then looked at Pope fast walking towards his seat like he had a mission.

Aria furrowed her eyebrows at him then she saw him and Kie whispering. Pope held up an envelope to her them to Aria and JJ, Aria looked questionably at the envelope but then, as clear as day, she saw the wheat symbol on the stamp.

Her eyes widened looking at it, analysing it. JJ had the same reaction towards it.

"Is that the wheat symbol?" Kie asked.

"Yeah," Pope murmured.

"What the fu--" JJ started but then stopped himself when Mr Sunn looked directly at him and glared since JJ caught the attention of the whole class. "Fu... fu... fudge?"

"Nice cover," Aria chuckled under her breath at JJ.

"Do you two mind not interrupting my class and continue doing your test?" Mr Sunn glared at the two Pogues. Aria screwed her lips shut trying to hide her laughter.

"Sorry teach," Aria muttered.

...

"Is this a game of tag?" JJ asked as he followed Kie and Aria after Pope into the library.

"I don't know," Kie returned.

"Am I gonna have to beat you with your protractor? What's going on?" JJ asked again.

"JJ, shut up," Aria mumbled following Pope, a woman at the front desk shushed the Pogues so Arua shushed her back and glared at the women.

"Okay, come on," JJ grabbed her hand and took off after Pope.
