11:30. Lunch time.

"ALRIGHT YOU SQUIRRELS! It's lunch time. You only get thirty minutes in here." Bauman had came into the library, finding he kids in the same spots as they were last time in when he checked up on them. "Seriously? In here?" Nancy asked in some sort of disbelief in her voice. "Yes, here." Bauman repeated with an annoyed tone. "Wouldn't the cafeteria be a better place to eat?" Julia proposed with her hand politely raised. "I don't care what you think Henderson!" Totally shot down by Bauman afterwards. "Excuse me? Yeah, Dick, I mean Bauman—yeah," Billy interrupted his though for a second. "Are we provided with some drinks like sodas and or water while your at it?" He proposed. "Yeah, we're extremely dehydrated sir..." Johnathan added. "I have a very low tolerance for dehydration..." Robin added too. "Yeah sir, I've seen her dehydrated before. It's gross." Steve added for the little punch to persuade Mr. Bauman even further. "Alright then. I suppose." Bauman gave in. "Alright. I should help my friends and provide such delicate—" Billy already stood up from his chair, thinking he was free to get the drinks. "Not so fast leather boy! I wasn't born yesterday. To think I'll let you go out there on your own..." Bauman said, pointing a strong finger towards Billy's way, causing him to roll his eyes and sit back down. "Harrington. Henderson. The vending machine in the lounge is where you'll be going!" Bauman barked orders as he lead the two students from their seat to the halls.

Silence followed the two teens as they collected the various drinks. "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?" Steve asked, trying to get his best charm out. Julia's eyebrow slightly shot up—wondering why he asked such a random question. "I mean, I wasn't going to, but," she stopped, looking into Steve's eyes as she collected three more sodas in her arms. "Why?" She gave a small smile. "Got into a fight. Everything was running through me as I landed the first punch." Steve made up, trying his hardest to sound convincing. Julia only smiled, and Steve can feel his heart flutter a bit. "That's interesting. You can tell me why you're really here when we get back huh?" She proposed with a slight eye roll as she started walking ahead. Steve opened his mouth to stay something, but quickly shut it, thinking it was a bad idea. "Damn it!" And quickly tried to catch up to Julia.

"Can't you just leave me alone!?" Nancy whined in annoyance. It was the fifth time Billy had bothered Nancy about Johnathan. "You're clearly not a virgin like Thompson over here, so why don't you just go to the back and fuck Byers already?" Billy said out loud. "You know what I wish I was doing?" Nancy suddenly changed the subject, wanting to get far away from the last subject as possible. "Hope she says your name pal!" Billy sarcastically said; slapping the back of Johnathan's shoulders. "I wish I was on a plane to France..." Nancy continued; obviously boring Billy as he suddenly turned him to face him. "Do you want to sleep with good-ol Miss Prissy over there?" Johnathan said nothing. Only trying to avoid Billy's gaze. "Or you're a virgin too? Oh this is priceless! I bet you wished you lost it with Prissy Wheeler over here!" He pressed further. "Shut it dude! And for your information I'm not a virgin!" Johnathan quickly shot back. "Oh yeah, with who?" Johnathan suddenly takes back what he said, until he gives into Billy's bickering and motions to Nancy. "Oh, so you and Nancy really did do it?" Billy started to get excited, and Nancy turned around. "Did what?" She said, snapping her head back to the boys—her attention in them again. Billy and Johnathan dismissed the conversation as Nancy tried to get to the bottom of it. Finally, it spilled. "Were you not motioning to Nancy, Johnathan?" Billy pressed, knowing full well Johnathan is going to spill the tea. "Yeah, but it's only because I didn't want her to know I'm a... virgin." Johnathan shyly admits, already feeling the blood rush to his face.
