one!

TWO TWIN BRAIDS, twisted perfectly down Lilia's back. Just like Anna. Her shirt was a light teal color, with The Little Mermaid logo printed across it. Ariel and Anna? She had to know John B well enough. Those were his favorite princesses. And she wore glasses today, her calico horn rimmed ones that he always said she looked cute in. Her jean shorts had slid up her thighs as she sat down, which left her to try and tug them down over and over. Her head shot up as someone sat across from her.

"You know, your hair looks like it's going to yank out of your head. How tight are those braids?" John B. laughed, crossing her arms and leaning back in the chair.

A playful smirk danced across the girl's face. "I don't know, tight, I guess? Nina did them."

"You can't feel the tightness?"

"I guess I can!" The blonde laughed, shaking her head. "Why is that what you're focusing on?"

He shrugged. "I don't know, I'm worried about the safety of your scalp."

"My scalp says thank you."

John B studied her for a second as she highlighted something in her book. "The Little Mermaid?"

"Mhm," Lilia mumbled, putting a blue book tab on the page before writing something on it.

"Oh, I'll let you finish."

She flashed a smile at him as she continued to write in small, even letters "....okay, my attention is yours."

"The Little Mermaid."

"Oh, my shirt? Yes, I do like that movie."

"I do too, you know. Ariel and Anna are my favorite princesses."

She looked at him, laughing a little. "Mine's Rapunzel."

John B took the girls book, pushing her hand away as she tried to grab it. "They Both Die At The End? The hell, Lils?"

"It's good!"

"It looks depressing!"

"Exactly why it's good!"

"You're a sociopath."

"It's your fault, I never have time to think without someone staring at me from across the table, so I'm going crazy!" She replied.

John B raised an eyebrow. "Fine, I'll switch tables."

Lilia sucked in a breath, moving her glasses. "You're childish."

"Good vocabulary." He laughed at the annoyance on her face. "Oh god."

"Oh god what?"

"They're here."

"Who's here?" The blonde girl asked, leaning forward.

"The pogues?"

"Why are they here? They'll get torn apart."

"I- we need to do research."

She smirked, her face filled with amusement. "You and research don't fit in the same sentence."

"Lils, please help us. I swear to God, this is actually a big deal. And I actually do things, despite hating school."

"Fine, I'll help. What's it about?"

"Go wait in one of the study rooms. They literally don't know who you are."

She sighed a little, standing up and walking into one of the locked study rooms with her things. She pulled out her phone, despite there being no service after the flooding.
