"Oh" I stop walking half through the door. "Hey guys" I say slowly as I see serpents and gargoyles about to fight but they turn around to face me.
I throw a questioning look over to jug

"The serpents and the gargoyles merged" he explains
"Ah" I see how good that is working
"And those junkies broke into the chemistry lab" fangs spits
"Don't think that we've forgotten about you spying on the gargoyles" one them hisses into fangs face

"Alright! Back down, both of you" jug screams
Me still standing awkwardly in the front suck in my lips
"I miss like one meeting... what's next we're working for the police?" I joke trying to lighten up the mood

"No, but whatever bad blood existed between the serpents and the gargoyles, it's over" jug points out "we're all serpents now"

I quickly wabble outside the door hoping no-one would notice me. What's gotten into everybody today?

Every minute feels like an hour and this day is taking forever to end. Luckily, it's my last class for today, literature.
"And büchner says that everybody is socially determined, meaning t-"
The bell cuts me off and everybody starts packing their things, ignoring the teacher loading us with homework.

I throw the back over my shoulder and start walking down the hall, the chemistry labs my destination.
In all my rush i didn't see the person approaching me causing us to bump into each other.

"Why the hurry" sweet pea laughs holdings my arms
"Oh, hi" I smile at him widely
Although we still have a strong bond I feel like we didn't get to spend much time recently.
"I'm going to the labs. Why are you still here?"
"Had to take care of something. The gargoyles..." he frowns

"So are we still going to pops later?"
I totally forgot
"Oh yeah suure"
"You forgot"
"I'm sorry" I start whining "but there's so much with the farm and-"
"Aha. Well then hurry to the labs" giving me a kiss goodbye

Rushing around the corner I bumb onto the next person spilling coffee all over my white shirt
"Jesus what is wrong" I murmur and look up from my dirty shirt to meet Betty's green eyes
"Omg I'm so sorry" suppressing laughter "where are you going? To the farm I suppose" her smile disappears
"I-"
"They are doing crazy experiments like holding their hands over bunsen burners" she articulates really strongly

"Betty, I dont understand why you're so obsessed with the farm but they are actually really nice people"
"Its a cult. It's a cult. It's a cult"
Looking into her desperate wide eyes I give up

"Okay" sighing "I'm already late. Why dont we go to pop's, I'm meeting sweets there anyway. And I'm kind of brown in my chestal area so I might stop at home first"
"Great I'll come with you" she takes my hand and drags me away from the farm meeting

I decided to change into:

"Its always difficult with runaways, archie" Passing the table where archie sits with another woman and a man

"Its always difficult with runaways, archie"
Passing the table where archie sits with another woman and a man. Betty joins them but I walk further to the back.

"Bonjour" sliding Into the booth
"Hey, Jules. So, how was your day"
"Boring as always" rolling my eyes "I didn't even get to attend the farm meeting because Betty spilled coffee all over my" pointing at my new clothes "well I might have bumped into her" i add quieter

"Yeah" he laughs "sounds like you. But about this farm thing" more serious
"Betty told me tha-"
"Betty is awkwardly obsessed with destroying the community. I dont know if it's like a personal vendetta or whatever but she didn't even get to meet them"
"She told me they were burning their hands, julia"
"I... they are really helping me" I stop our stychomythia

"I'm not going to hurt myself. We just talk"
"Alright. Ive been really busy lately, the gargoyles are causing more trouble then they are worth" his lip twinches

After a short silence he raises his head to look at me, all the troubling thoughts about farms and gargoyles gone.
"I like your shirt" he smiles
"Thanks, it was 50% off" I smile
"I'd like it 100% off" a smirk tucked around the corner of his lips as always when he's flirting. But I decide not to react to his dumb pick up line
"But the shops dont do that"
"That's not wh-" I find the confusing look on his face quite amusing
"That's terrible for business" I scold him but can't hold my laughter in any longer

He joins just as his phone rings.
"Its Jones. He wants us to meet at the bunker" frowning
"Ok we-"
"No, just the boys"
"Pff. Maybe I should have just joined the pretty poisons then"
"They asked you?"
"Yeah. And I declined"
"Good we already lost enough girls to them" as he gets up he puts his jacket on

"See you later"
