Finneas was forcefully walking his little sister to her class, making sure that she'd go. Billie had already lied to him twice, but Finneas didn't care he wasn't letting his little sister be sent away. Billie sighed as they turned the corner in the hallway, her eyes lifting off the floor and looking at each classroom door before seeing her one. Billie shifted the arm of her backpack, so it was more comfortable, even though she knew she'd have to take it off once it sat down. Not that she wasn't going to put up a fight to not go. Because she for sure as hell would.

"Fuck," Billie exasperates, as she eyed her biology classroom as if it was hell's door. Billie looked at her stupid schedule to double-check, flapping the paper around just to be sure, and she sighed when her nightmares were true. This was her class. Billie thought quickly and halted her movements. Finneas stopped to look at his little sister confused by her actions before he glanced down and saw the same number that was on the door was on Billie's schedule.

"Billie, come on," Finneas persisted attempting to drag his little sister, who just stood there using all her strength to overpower her brother. Surprisingly it worked Finneas failed at moving his sister. "You can do this Billie," he reassured her. Billie rolled her eyes.

"Shut up," she told him, she wasn't nervous. Why did everyone think that she was nervous? Even her parents thought she was nervous when she didn't want to get out of bed this morning. The only reason was that she didn't want to go to school, or a fucking biology class at nine. She was thirty minutes later because that's how long it took poor Finneas, to get his little sister here. "I don't want to fucking go, dude, it's stupid bio," Billie informed him. Finneas just laughed and shook his head, Billie glared at him.

"Please, Billie for me." Finneas practically begged at this point, Billie looked at him confused, and she raised an eyebrow at her brother's persistence in her going to class.

"Why the fuck do you want me to go so bad?" Billie questions fed up already, Finneas looks down at the floor wondering if he should tell his sister why, I mean it maybe would scare her into going to all her classes. "Huh? Finneas why is everyone so obsessed with my education?" she questions not understanding why she has to be here.

"Listen, I didn't want to tell you this... but I think you need to hear it." Finneas started and Billie looked at him confused before folding her arms in front of her chest. "Billie, unless you want to go to boarding school, you have to go to biology and every fucking class on that schedule of yours do you understand?" he finishes, hoping his words would find the part of her that wanted to keep being around him.

"Boarding school?" Billie questions with a nervous laugh, "Fuck off, they would never send me to boarding school." she shook her head at what she thought was a lie.

"Not by choice," Finneas mumbled, and Billie looked at him a serious expression on her face.

"So, you're not lying?" Billie questioned and her heart slightly dropped. She glanced around, but Finneas just looked at her, Billie removed her arm that was interlocked with Finneas' and walked a few steps backwards. "Are you fucking serious?!" she screams, "Mom and Dad want to send me away, from everyone? Just so I can learn, half the shit that I have already learned. And even the stuff that I was taught from the dumb education system, hasn't helped me once in real life so far, in a real situation. The two of them and you are waaayy better teachers than any of those fuckers could be. I've used almost all the things you've taught me in the real world, and Mom's cooking. I... I make my own meals now so they can work." she rambles, "And they seriously don't want me around them anymore?" she questions as she paces slightly.

Anxiety is something that is very rarely felt by Billie, but it begins to fill her mind. "Billie... calm down," Finneas tells her in the most reassuring way possible, Billie scoffs shaking her head.
