Elizabeth Jensen hobbled into the outhouse after waiting for Justin Foley at the breakfast table for twenty minutes. She frowned when she saw him still asleep on his bed. "Justin, what the fuck?" She frowned setting her crutches down against the table and sitting down in a chair. After the riot in front of the school, Justin took Elizabeth to the emergency room, and she had broken her ankle. "We have the first day back after the stupid fucking break."
Justin jumped up from his bed with wide eyes. "Fuck, is that today?" He questioned his girlfriend, rubbing his eyes.
"Yup." The girl rolled her eyes. "They closed the school, but somehow, we still have to make it up." She traced her finger along the pattern on the wooden table. "Apparently, there's some whole investigation into what started it, what you and Diego were fighting about." Justin let out a sigh, and Elizabeth looked up at him. She noticed how red and sweaty his face was. "Are you okay, babe? You don't look like you're feeling great."
Justin nodded. "Yeah, I must have the flu or some shit."
"Am I going to get the flu now?" Elizabeth let out a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood. It did not work. She narrowed her eyes at him. "Are you sure it's the flu?"
"I haven't used in days." Justin shook his head, slipping off his sweaty, long sleeve shirt. "I probably just need some sleep."
Elizabeth stood up with her crutches and moved to Justin's bed, sitting down next to him. "Do you need any help? Do you think you need to go back to rehab?"
The boy's eyes widened as he shook his head. "Please, don't tell your parents."
"Okay." Elizabeth sent him a soft smiled, taking his hands and kissing his knuckles.
"I just some time to get better."
The girl pressed her hand against her boyfriend's cheek. "I know, baby. I believe in you."
Justin grabbed his phone and looked down at it, seeing the time. "You should get going to school."
"Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with you?" The boy shook his head in response.

Jessica Davis and many members of HO had entered the basement of the school that morning to see all of their stuff had gotten trashed. "They must have just searched it while we were gone, or something." Jessica shrugged as she started to clean up. Elizabeth and Isabel Henry had joined her, along with other members of the group.
Isabel approached Jessica with a smile across her lips. "I really enjoyed spending time with you over the break." She giggled before biting her lip.
