NOW OR NEVER | ❝Never pick up, never call me
You know we're runnin' out of time
Never pick up when you want me
Now I gotta draw a line
Baby I done, done enough talking
Need to know that you're mine
Baby we done, done enough talking
Gotta be right no...

Juliet had no idea where to look for FP in the morning, so she kept his helmet in her bag and took off to English class without looking for her friends. She had been the first one to make it before the bell rang, soon students began pouring in- Joey walking over to her with a smile. "Good luck at cheer practice today, think I could walk you home after?" he asked taking a seat in FP's chair.
"I guess." Juliet said turning to the door to see if FP would enter. "You know this chair is taken right?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "FP Jones."
"I'll get off when he get's here." Joey said leaning forward with a flirty smirk. "Maybe we can hang out for a while get some ice cream get to know each other before I take you home?"
Juliet turned to the door wishing FP would come in sooner and when he did she smiled over at him and then back to Joey who got up. Juliet thought he would leave but instead he took the seat beside her as FP sat down in his own chair. "That sounds great." Juliet said with a forced smile, she didn't know why but there was something about Joey that was off to her. She liked him but the idea of spending time with him wasn't something she was really interested in.
"So, it's a yeah?" Joey asked with a hopeful smile.
"Sorry, I can't." Juliet said placing her bag on the table. "I'm grounded, cheer practice and straight home, believe me and I can't trick my parents about practice because they will find out." She said digging into her bag for her binder and pencil.
Joey's smile disappeared from his face, a frown taking its place, "Why were you grounded?" he asked moving his table closer to Juliet's. His knee connected with hers and she backed away from him.
"It's really none of your business." Juliet said putting her bag back on the floor under her seat. "Besides, why would you want to get to know me more?"
"Well, I was actually asking as a date." Joey said sending a wink towards Juliet. "I think you're beautiful and very interesting."
Juliet let out a laugh, "Sorry to tell you but I'm not looking for a boyfriend at the moment. I also wouldn't want to date a boy who flirts with every girl he passes." Juliet said rolling her eyes at the boy. "Besides, I think you're beautiful and very interesting is not something I want to hear, it's like you're only going after my looks and what's so interesting about me?" Juliet waited for Joey to answer her question, but nothing came, "Exactly." She said turning towards the class just as Joey was being shooed of the seat by the girl who it was assigned to.
FP who had witnessed the conversation before him watching Joey walk away from Juliet with a frown muttering to himself with a smirk. When Joey took his seat, he turned back to Juliet who was paying attention to what Mr. Barko was saying, obviously not paying anymore attention to the boy she had just turned down, FP reached forward grabbing a strand of Juliet's brown hair and tugging on it. Juliet quickly turned to look at him with a questioning glare. "Are you really grounded?" He asked seriously leaning forward in his chair. Juliet nodded her head pushing her bag towards him. "Is my helmet in there?" He asked, and Juliet nodded her head again turning back to the teacher. "How long are you grounded for?"
