Clementine

Being back at school was a drag, since the day feels like never ending. Currently sat in a boring history lesson, Clem was able to sneak a conversation with Brody and Minerva. Luckily, it was partially a free period as the teacher was doing a bad job at teaching.
But, Clem keeps thinking about the quiet boy with dreads.

Brody was the first to bring up Louis and the English project, "So, what's going on between you and Belouga?" Using the boys creative nickname.

Clem abruptly turned to face the red head, "What's do you mean by that?" With an unamused tone.

Brody held her hands, defensively, "Whoa, girly. I didn't mean anything by it, calm down."

Sighing heavily, Clem replied "Sorry. Everyone that's mentioned Louis to me so far has nothing good to say about him. Why is that? He's been nothing but nice."

Minnie and Brody shared a knowing look to each other, as if they knew something she didn't. "What are you hiding from me?" Clem asked, beginning to grow suspicious.

Minnie and Brody looked at each other again, before Brody began to explain. "We aren't hiding anything." She said, pathetically.

Clem eyes her in distaste, "You two are hiding something and I don't like it."

"Even if we are hiding something, I bet you are too." Brody replied, calmly. "Everyone has secrets Clem."

Minerva became defensive at the accusation. "What would you know? You've known him for less than 3 weeks, and already pretend to know everything about him."

Brody attempted to calm the situation, "Minnie, I think Clem just wants the best for everyone. She isn't trying to be anything."

"Whatever Brody. You just like to play peace maker all the damn time." The red head muttered back. Clem just rolled her eyes at the childish behaviour.

"Anyway, how is the project going?" Brody asked, forcing a smile on her face. The tension between her and Minnie was still there though.

Clem ignored the tension and replied anyway, "It's going alright. But, I think me and Lou will need to meet up more often than just once a week for a few hours. We haven't done a lot of work as I hoped." The brunette explained.

"Hmm." Minerva hummed, listening in to the conversation.

Brody continued to ignore the other red head, "Yeah, I think it's smart to meet up more. Who knows, you two might become good friends."
And Clem quickly lost interest in the conversation.

Clementine didn't get on well with Brody and Minnie, when compared to Louis, Marlon or Vi.

Louis

Meanwhile, in another room was sat Louis and Marlon. They had a free period, which meant they could do whatever they want. They were sat at Louis's save heaven desk, within the library.
