"Paige, Dean wait!"

Paige and Dean stopped at the classroom door, surprised to see Charlotte jog up to them, her folders clutched in her hand.

"Um, what's up?" Dean asked as nicely as he could.

"You mind if I walk with you guys? After all, Sami did say that we should all sit together." She explained.

"You really want to do that?" Paige asked with a sneer and Charlotte blinked.

"Yeah. I don't want to get a bad grade on this project so I kind of need to spend time with Roman, considering you two are his best friends I can only assume you're going to meet him." Charlotte replied in the same tone, taking offence to Paige's implication.

"You sound just like Seth" Dean chuckled. "Yeah you can walk with us"

"Thank you," Charlotte said as they made their way towards the cafeteria. The three walked in silence, no one knew what to say and no one knew who was actually going to listen to Sami's demands. Paige and Roman were only going because Dean wanted to.

As they turned the maths corridor Paige cleared her throat, Charlotte and Dean glanced her way. "I hate to be rude but Charlotte what exactly are your intentions with Roman?"

Charlotte blinked again whilst Dean choked on air. "Paige!" He hissed and swatted her arm.

"What?" She replied.

"You can't just ask someone that you idiot"

"Hey, you were just as surprised as I was when you found out they did stuff!" Paige retorted.

"Maybe so but it's none of my business" Dean bickered back and then realised Charlotte was still with them. "Sorry about her" Paige glared at Dean.

"It's okay" Charlotte dismissed Paige's comment. "And to answer your question, we just made out a little. It's harmless"

Paige nodded. "But like how did it happen?"

Charlotte chuckled. "Nosey are we? Well if you must know, we already know each other because of our families and we got bored after a while so"

"Okay spare me the details" Dean interrupted. "Word of advice, as much as I love Roman he's not really one for serious relationships so do whatever you want but don't get attached, it won't end well"

"In other words, he's a huge fuckboy" Paige muttered.

"I wouldn't say that" Charlotte spoke. "I presume it's just one of those high school things. Very little people are looking to find someone to last with."

Dean nodded. "I guess. You can never be too sure though I mean look at Brie and Daniel, they've been dating for nearly three years now."

Paige rolled her eyes. "Love makes me sick, hurry up you two I'm fucking starving."

The three entered the busy cafeteria, stopping for a moment to try and see where everyone else was. It shouldn't have been too difficult of a task considering Sami was probably louder and more eccentric than the whole school combined. Eventually, Charlotte spotted the fairly large table that already seated Roman, Seth, Sami, Kevin, Asuka and Becky and the three made their way over.

"I'm incredibly glad you all could make it today!" Sami exclaimed on sight. It felt like everyone simultaneously rolled their eyes.
