Lulu spent endless hours with Lexi, helping her out with her play. She arrived early at school to brainstorm staging ideas, she stayed late for rehearsals and they were on the phone on the weekends.

Fezco watched with a growing smile as Lulu was blasting music in her headphones, refining the cheerleaders' choreography in the middle of the living room.

He sat down on the couch, lighting a blunt and very explicitly staring at her, definitely wondering what he had done to deserve a free show like this one in his own home.

Fezco's burning eyes finally caught Lulu's attention and she cut the music, throwing her phone on the nearest couch, heavily panting.

"Liking what you see?" Lulu asked with a smirk.

"Hell yeah," Fezco replied, "Why'd you stop?"

Lulu let out a loud laugh as she sat down next to him and stole the blunt from his lips, "You stupid... Was it good though?"

"You really askin' me?"

Lulu blew some smoke with a lazy shrug, "You do have a reputation to be honest."

"Well, it ain't gonna be as cool if you ain't on that stage," Fezco said as he retrieved the blunt.

Lulu shook her head with a small smile, "But you're coming to see it, right? The play."

"Hell yeah, I am."

And, of course, with Lulu's name associated with the play, Lexi now had a massive budget to bring her idea to life.

"I don't know how to repay you for this," Lexi said, scratching the back of her head.

"Why the hell woud you have to repay me for something like this?"

The two girls were walking side by side in the school hallway, going in the cafeteria for lunch.

"Uh... maybe because someone actually agreed to produce the play," Lexi explained, "Like, produce it with actual money?!"

Lulu shrugged, opening the doors to the cafeteria, "So? You deserve it, the play's gonna be fucking cool. And you actually don't want me around when you work on certain scenes so that says a lot."

Lexi's cheeks turned red, "I... uh... I just, I—I just don't—"

Lulu interrupted her, putting a hand on her shoulder, "It's all good, you know I like mysteries, Lex."

They were about to stand at the end of the line when a voice calling out Lulu's name caught their attention.

The girl turned around to see Jules happily walking in her direction, wearing a bright smile and clapping her hands cheerfully, "Lulu, oh my god!"
