Author's notes: I'm really bad at having long chapters cause I have to end them before I just have the character's ramble forever, so I end up with short word counts.
Also I've decided to update these every other day instead of daily so then I can have even *more* extra chapters ready (or catch a breather). Was gonna update earlier but Wattpad was down, so here we are! (firstdayofsenioryear)
"Why are we stuck on tour guide duty?" Janis sighed.
"Because we're so peppy?" Damien offered. He was met with a deep scowl from Janis. "Never mind."
"At least the kids aren't unbearable." Janis picked a piece of lint off of Damian's pink shirt.
"Wow, coming from you, that could be a compliment. The greatest compliment ever." Cady said.
"Well, they can prove me wrong. We have a whole semester with them. Or more if they choose to prove themselves to be extra annoying to us."
"It's too bad they can't stay for long, they seem like a nice class." Cady said, hoisting a hand painted banner above the gymnasium doors.
"I like Christine. Like Christine Daae, but not obsessed with a French societally rejected man." Damian said.
"You know we don't understand your references, so why do you continue?" Janis asked.
"Because I'm hoping that one day you'll catch on."
"Today is not that day."
"Janis, do you think it'll stay?" Cady asked.
"...No."
On her cue, the banner fell off of it's hook and one end fluttered down to the floor. The other half followed soon after.
"We tried." Janis shrugged.
"Where's another tall person when you need one?" Cady sighed.
"Too bad Aaron doesn't go here still, he's tall." Damian said.
"We'll have to work it out. I'll switch with you Cady, hold the ladder." Janis directed.
"You don't like heights."
"Your arms look tired. Plus you've been working on this for a half hour, and your end keeps falling, so I'm assuming your missing a knot or something."
"Probably. I learned how to make big knots, but things like banner ties are much different than rope."
"Damian, lift it up again." Janis said, shakily climbing up the ladder and securing the banner again.
The banner stayed this time, and Janis sighed. "Everything good on your end?" Janis asked.
"Looks secure!" Damian gave a thumbs up.
"Great, then I can get now." Janis gulped. "Nevermind I'm staying here forever."
"Come on, it's four feet, you can do it!" Cady urged.
"Which is more than half tall I am. I am not moving. Death will meet me."
"Janis, please. You can't stay there forever."
"Watch me."
"Don't worry, I'll sing you cheery show tunes to encourage you to come down!" Damian said.
Janis quickly climbed down the ladder without even glancing at the ground. "Nope, you don't have to do that."
"Aw." Damian said sadly.
