"Hey," a familiar hushed voice catches Hope's attention.

After cautiously eyeing the teacher, who's back is currently turned towards them, Hope leans over her chair to face the raven-haired girl.

"We're thinking about ditching 6th and 7th period and go hang out by our usual place today," Penelope whispers across the short distance between the two. "You in?"

Without giving it much thought Hope nods her head, "Yeah sure, just text me the details after class." The auburn flashes a smile to her friend before leaning back into her seat, which also happened to be when the teacher turned back around to finish his lecture.

The rest of the class period passes by with a blur. Hope was surrounded by restless students who didn't want to be here and a couple of kids who were most definitely asleep in the back of the class but finally, the bell rings, dismissing the class.

Within minutes, all the students shuffle out of the classroom leaving one Hope Mikaelson to be the last one left, putting the last of her things in her bag.

"Have a good rest of your day Mr. Dorian." The senior greets her teacher goodbye and walks out the door.

When Hope steps out into the hall she finds Lizzie casually leaning against a locker right outside the door. She's in her usual high fashion outfit, soft blonde curls falling down the sides of her face.

"Hey gorgeous," Lizzie smirks as she gently pulls Hope up for a kiss by the collar of her jacket.

This sort of greeting wasn't anything new for the two of them. Hope was never one for much PDA but being with Lizzie has made her more accustomed to public interactions as such. It never got to the point where it was as though they were flaunting their relationship but for the most part, they struggled to keep their hands off of each other.

Their sweet greeting quickly comes to an end when they hear MG's voice holler down the hall. "Get a room!"

Both girls look up with a laugh as they watch Penelope pull her best friend in the opposite direction down the hall giving them an apologetic look.

MG always seemed to find his way in the presence of the couple to make comments as such which was always more amusing than not.

Lizzie looks back down at her girlfriend and wiggles her brows, "Why not?"

Before Hope has a chance to reply she feels Lizzie tug on her arms pulling her into what appears to be an empty classroom.

Without even waiting for the door to be fully closed, Hope wraps her arms around the younger girl's neck catching her off guard with a kiss.

It doesn't take Lizzie long to ease into the kiss, mimicking every movement of her girlfriend.

In the heat of the moment, both girls miss the bell that signals the next class of the day. Instead, they stumble backward until Hope's back is pressed against the wall and Lizzie's body flush against hers.

"Wait wait wait," Hope's words come out breathy, body heating up by the second.

Not really registering her girlfriend's voice, Lizzie's mouth travels down Hope's jawline, successfully reaching her pulse point. This earns a silent moan from Hope which only encourages her to keep going.
