-Time Skip- It's Monday and Nini finally returned to school. It's toward the end of the day and Nini's on her way to her locker.
Ej: I'll see you soon baby, just come on over once I'm done with practice. So like 6ish
Nini: Mmkay *I kiss your cheek* I'll see you later
Ej: *I walk away*
Carlos: *I come to my locker next to yours* still on for our date?
Nini: Mmm depends on when you want me to leave, I have to be at Ej's by six
Carlos: I'll get you there. I'm just really feeling an açaí bowl right about now
Nini: Oh my goodness, we just must have the same cravings
Carlos: then let's go-
Ej: fuck off Redonovich
Nini: Oh my gosh, can he just leave those kids alone?
Carlos: I mean, Big Red is kinda annoying. He won't shut up about his new sound system
Nini: But that really doesn't mean he should be a jerk...
Carlos: I guess
Nini: Oh god
Carlos: *laughs* can we go nowww
Nini: No because my boyfriend is about to get pummeled by Gina Porter. He should know better than to mess with the theater kids while she's around
Carlos: speaking of Gina I'm still trying to get her on the cheerleading squad. She's so flexible and strong and she'd be perfect. She's just... ya know
Nini: Yeah yeah, I know. But just- *I walk over to Ej* Hey what's going on?
Ej: oh nothing. Just messin with the gleeks *laughs*
Nini: Maybe let's not do that, just leave them be
Ej: oh it's all play baby
Gina: Just play, you wanna play Caswell? I'll show you play *I punch your face*
Nini: Oh my god!
Ej: what the hell?!
Gina: You have no right to sit and make fun of students just because they aren't fucking athletes! I don't care who you are, it doesn't give you the okay. Pick on someone your own size and go knock up your girlfriend *walks away*
Ej: Damn
Nini: This is why I told you to stop
Ej: I gotta get to practice *I walk away*
Nini: *sighs* Carlos? Los? Where did you go? And now he's gone too, great
Carlos: *I call you*
Nini: *I pick up* Hey, where are you?
Carlos: parking lot! Hurry up!
Nini: *I walk out to the parking lot and into your car*
Carlos: we'll get Gina on our side one day *laughs*
Nini: She probably hates me
Carlos: probably
Nini: God, he's so stupid sometimes
Carlos: yeah, but everyone loves him. And you two are just too cute together
Nini: Yep, totally perfect
Carlos: I love it
Nini: Am I too basic?
Carlos: huh?
Nini: You know, am I like a basic bitch or whatever?
Carlos: what makes you say that?
Nini: I don't know, just been think about life lately I guess
Carlos: *laughs a little* I mean maybe a little but in a good way. But if we're gonna talk about basic, we are basically describing me *laughs*
Nini: No, you're the most extra and unique person I know Los *laughs*
Carlos: *laughs* true true... but seriously, being basic isn't a bad thing and who says you're basic anyways
Nini: Um no one, I was just thinking about it
Carlos: so any updates about the jerk stepbrother?
Nini: Nope
Carlos: Damn
Nini: What?
Carlos: I just want the tea
Nini: Well there is none available *laughs*
*we get to the açaí place*
Carlos: hi, could we have 2 lil root trails?
Worker: Of course, that'll be $6.50 please
Carlos: it's my turn to pay right?
Nini: I believe so
Carlos: *I pay and we get our food and sit down* oh my god!
