(Tweltfth grade)
"Just one more year, and we can get out of this prison," Marella mumbled, dropping her bag beside her desk.
"Or you could just skip class like I do," Keefe said, joining the science lab table.
Sophie sighed. "How do you have all honors classes.
He shrugged. "To be fair, I don't know either." He let out a laugh. "I barely even pay attention to the teacher. I just wing it on the tests."
Marella glared. "Ok, that's not even fair. I have to study my butt off to be in this class."
Dex took the last seat at the table. "You look rough," he commented.
"Yeah, well," Marella spat, "I've been surviving of energy drinks all summer. School had to come make me actually have a circadian rhythm. Not happy about it."
He held his hands in surrender. "Ok, ok. Jeez, I can tell."
She shot him the finger. Before he could retort, the teacher came in to introduce herself. Sophie pulled out her notebook to write down the information that she needed.
At the end of the day, Sophie went to the administrator's office. She paid her class dues and claimed her parking spot.
She located it in the parking lot. As a senior, she was able to paint her parking spot this year. She figured she'd paint her's as a black swan.
She jumped a little when unexpected arms wrapped around her from behind. She eased when she realized it was just Keefe. He nuzzled the top of her hair, making her giggle.
She turned around to greet him. He tightened his hold on her waist and leaned down to kiss her. Sophie tilted up on her tip toes and circled her arms around his neck. He lifted her up a couple of inches of the ground. That made her squeal a little bit.
When she was let down, she told him, "You should come to Lowe's with me. I'm going to get the stuff to paint my parking lot."
He grinned. "I'd love to. What are you going to paint."
"A black swan. You?"
"I'm thinking of doing the house from Up."
"Ooh, that sounds cool!"
With that, they went to get the paint from the store. Them and their friends decided to wait until Saturday to do it together.
Saturday came, and they all gathered together at the school. Sophie was currently struggling to get the basic silhouette of the swan. Maybe if she sweet talked Keefe.
"Hey, do you think you could help me, Bub," she asked in a sing-song voice.
He snorted. "Sure."
He took the paint brush from her, carefully making an outline of the swan. She kissed his cheek when he gave the brush back.
Sophie glanced at what he was doing she gasped when she saw his drawing. It was extremely detailed. Still, Keefe was looking funny at it.
"That's really good," she told him.
"It's missing something, though," he mumbled.
"The balloons?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah, but I want to do something different for them," he pondered. His face lit up. He passed Sophie a paint brush. "Here, pick a color and paint your hand."
Sophie picked the red up and did what she was asked. When she was finished, Keefe pressed her hand onto the pavement. He grinned when she lifted it up, revealing a handprint.
"Yesss! Here, sign your name on it." He turned around. "Hey guys, come over here. I want you to do something."
When everyone finished their hand prints, he drew the strings to attach them to the hand. They smiled at their work.
