"Gosh damn it Earl!"
"I'm sorry Juliet! I didn't mean too" Earl said pushing up his glasses with his skinny, freckly arm.
"You have just set us back on the SAT content. I thought you wanted to go to Yale?" she said scoldingly. The 'nerds' around her shrunk back. She sighed, her voice quivering with stress.
"Listen-" she was cut off by someone pulling her out of the library.
"Nova! w-what, I can't have any more delays!"
"We haven't even been in school for a month, take a break" they glared at each other until Juliet gave up and sighed.
"Fine, what do you want?"
"The party's on, we're gonna get ready" Nova replied as she started to drag Juliet down the hall.
"No I am not going to a party with alcohol, I've never even been to one" Nova rolled her eyes.
"Have you ever been to a family reunion?"
"Yea..."
"Well sorry to break it to ya', but that's a party...and there's alcohol"
"Uncle Patrick wouldn't."Juliet said crossing her arms.
"Juliet this is your junior year. Have some fun for once!" Nova said flinging her arms.
"And be stuck with people all over each other?No thanks."
"Fine but help me pick out what I'm wearing." Nova said heading to the stairs.
Juliet sighed and followed.
"Of what I could sneak into the school, and from what i've bought from the times we've gone to town, I gathered this" Nova said as she examined the row of outfits, Juliet made her way over to them and started eliminating choices.
"That's too short, too much glitter, too much material, too little" Nova rolled her eyes and by the time Juliet was done it was narrowed down to one dress.
"It's a party not a Sunday church service"
Juliet scoffed"That's party-like!" Nova snorted eyeing the dress, it reached her calfs, it was long sleeve and had a turtle neck. Juliet threw her arms in exasperation.
"I'll just pick something out myself" she made her way to her closet and picked out a gold spaghetti strap v-neck top, jeans and white high-top converse.
She sat in front of the vanity and applied minimal makeup.
"Yes slay them girl" Juliet said chuckling, Nova smiled.
"Come on J, don't leave me alone"
"I don't do parties, sorry" Nova sighed and put her phone in her pocket,
"Fine but you know where to find me if something happens"
Nova walked out the door and Juliet sighed, plopping herself on her bed she crossed her legs and grabbed her laptop.
Juliet hummed twenty one pilots while searching up Netflix. Nova went down the hallway and headed to St.Helens dormitory.
As Juliet was though the 5th season of Gossip Girl, she stood up and put on her coat.
"Maybe there will be some people downstairs." She said as she locked the door.
She went to the cafeteria, where you could hear a needle drop. She saw absolutely no one which scared her. She walked around Ashford and saw a couple of girls who were coming back from the party, who were clearly drunk.
