Escape ~ S.Harrington

26} Curiosity Voyages and Basketball!?

BEEP!

Shut the fuck up. My head hurts.

BE-

Like usual, Jenna angrily slapped her hand down on her alarm clock. She had a pounding headache from the night prior and it immediately put her into a bad mood. She hadn't had too much to drink, but the headache hit her hard nonetheless. She went to get up from bed, but was pulled back down by a pesky arm wrapped around her.
"Let go of me, Harrington," She said, politely.
"Mmmmm... no," He grumbled.
Jenna pried herself out of his grip despite his displeased grunts.
"We have school, dipshit. Now, grab one of your clothes sets from my closet and get ready."
"Ugh. Fine," He got up and out of Jenna's bed with a big yawn and stretch.

Jenna grabbed clothes for herself and went to the bathroom to get ready. As she was in the middle of changing, Dustin threw open the door.
"WHAT THE HELL!?!?!" Jenna screamed while only in her bra and a pair of jeans.
Dustin's eyes widened before suddenly throwing his hands over his eyes.
"I'M SORRY!" He yelled, "I DIDN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN EITHER. OH MY GOD!!!!!"
"Well, shut the door, asshole. And maybe... I don't know, KNOCK next time," Jenna scoffed.
Dustin nodded, then took one hand from his face and felt around for the door handle and closed it behind him while mumbling, "Oh, my god. Oh, my god."

After Jenna finished getting ready, she checked on Steve.
"Am I good to come in?" She asked before entering, unlike her brother.
"Yeah," He replied.
Jenna went in to grab her favorite jacket and talk to Steve for a minute about the previous night before school prevented them from doing so.
"So," She started off, "Do you feel any better?"
"A bit, I guess," He shrugged.
"Well, a bit is better than not at all. I hope you feel absolutely fantastic by the end of the day. Let's go!"
The two were just ready to leave when Dustin stopped his sister, "Jenna! Wait. Can you take me to the library?"
Jenna looked at Steve to make sure he was fine with it and he nodded.
"Come on," She waved at her brother, "Let's go."

Jenna and Dustin walked up to the check-out counter at the library with a few books so they could try and figure out what the hell the slug creature was.
"Mr and Miss Henderson," The librarian smiled, "You know the rules. Five at a time."
"Yep," Dustin responded before beginning to count the books in the stack, "One, two, three, four, five."
"Ten," The librarian pulled up Dustin's file with a cruel smirk, "You already have five books taken out."
"What about my account?" Jenna asked.
"You have... five as well," She confirmed
"You've got to be shitting me," Jenna whispered.
"What was that?" The librarian asked in shock.
"Nothing," Jenna mumbled in response.

"However..." Dustin started up again, "We," He said while gesturing between himself and Jenna, "Are on a curiosity voyage, and we need paddles to travel."
"Yeah," Jenna butted in, "And... and these books right here. These are our paddles."
"Five. At. A. Time," The librarian responded, sternly.
Jenna nudged Dustin and pointed off in the distance, "What the hell..."
Dustin grabbed the books and sprinted out of the library with Jenna just behind.
"Mr and Miss Henderson!" The librarian yelled after them.
"I need my paddles!" Dustin squealed.
"Lick this paddle!" Jenna yelled at her while sticking her tongue out and flipping her off.

"What happened to you two?" Steve stared at them with wide-eyes and they sprinted to his vehicle.
"We got some paddles," Dustin told him.
"And I'm never allowed back in the library again," Jenna added.
"Sounds... fun?" Steve laughed.
"Very," Jenna sarcastically chuckled, "Now get us to school before she comes out banning us permanently."
