"hi, juniper," i greeted with a grin as i sat in my assigned seat in first block.

"hey," juniper looked over at me.

it's now thursday. me and junie have been working on the project every day after school. we worked on it at her house yesterday, which meant i got to see archer again.

"hi, juni—" i started to greet as she opened the door, but was cut off.

"billie!" archer squealed as he ran over to me.

"oh my gosh, hi, you," my face lit up as i bent down. i opened my arms, and he crashed into them.

"hi," he giggled. "i missed you!"

"you did?!" i gasped dramatically, which made him giggle again. "well, guess what?"

"what?!" his eyes widened.

"i missed you too," i grinned.

"yayyy!" he cheered. i laughed as he did.

i glanced up at juniper, who was watching mine and archer's interaction. she had a small smile played on her lips, though she covered it when she saw that i was looking at her.

i wish she wouldn't do that; her smile is so pretty.

i went to stand up, but archer made me pick him up before i did. i did so with a smile, then held him tighter when he asked me to. i looked to juniper again.

"hi, juniper," i gave a grin.

"hey," she greeted back. she motioned towards the direction of her room with her head. "come on."

"okay, so... i think that we need to take a break on the project," i told juniper as she put her airpod in its case.

"we took a three day break on it last week," she sent me a look. "plus, it's due on monday. we need to finish it."

"we're already practically finished with it though," i groaned. "come on, please? i need a break from it or i will, like... explode or something."

"you're so dramatic," she shook her head. "i promise you, you're not gonna explode if we don't take a break from it."

"yes, i will," i let my head fall onto my desk with a low thud. "i promise i will!"

"if we take a break today, we're gonna have to work on it twice as much tomorrow," she deadpanned.

"so? we can work on it on saturday or something. i just need a break," i pleaded.

she narrowed her eyes at me. i looked at her with a convincing smile. her shoulders slumped, and she sighed. "okay, okay. fine."

i grinned. "thank you!"

"yeah, yeah, whatever."

i raised a brow as michael walked into my room. he didn't even knock on the door, he just walked right in.

i swear, he always just shows up whenever he wants to.

i don't mind though. i love it.

"hi, mikey," i grinned.

"hey, b," he greeted as he walked over to my bed.

"what's in the bag?" i asked as he sat a bag on my bed. he sat down, and he sat crisscrossed.
