"She acts like summer
And walks like rain"
Lace waits at her locker for Jonah, anxiously tapping her legs against the locker. She swings her head back and forth causing her keychains to clack together. An out of breath Jonah appears into her sight of view. An annoyed Lace grabs his wrist and pulls him harshly to the bus loop.
"You almost caused us to be late!" Lace signs while dragging Jonah's heavy butt down the bus aisle.
"I'm sorry princess ok? The meeting went a bit longer than usual." Lace's eyebrows shoot up,
"A LITTLE LONGER? IT TOOK YOU THE REST OF THE DAY!" Lace signs but Jonah hears the anger behind it. Lace rolls her eyes and hip checks the boy into the seat. Jonah's head suddenly pops up as he rubs his sore behind,
"Geez, ever think about joining wrestling? What's wrong with you?"
"Sorry Jonah, my mom told me that Val will be coming over and I'm sick of it." Lace whips out her sketchbook and flips to a random page.
"WHAT? You need to stay with me, at my house" Jonah tries to explain this to Lace but she wasn't having anything. Shaking her head, Lace signs,
"I can't make him or my mom suspicious, ok? Plus his parents really like me."
"Yes, enough to make you their daughter in law" Jonah replies back with Lace giving him a swift slap on the arm. Suddenly the bus stops and Lace looks out the window.
"We don't have a stop here." Lace signs, suddenly frightened. Jonah's face turns into one of stone and he pulls her towards him.
"Jonah-" Val gets on the bus and Lace shuts up and hides her face in his shoulder. Suddenly all the memories came at once like a river.
"You're a queen"
"Pinky promise?"
Lace takes her head off his shoulder and looks at Jonah with a wink. Jonah raises his eyebrows but nods. Lace takes a deep breath in order to keep her sanity and relaxes her shoulders.
"I wonder where Bee is?" Lace signs with a smirk. She then turns to Val who visibly pales. Soon it's her stop and she is about to walk off the bus and Val holds her wrist.
"Let go of me!" Lace tries to sign.
"See you later sugardoll" Val whispers and lets go of her. Lace walks, slightly rattled, off the bus.
