@lemonwitch here we are!

Lol, I'mma get this started-

Jess sighs and leans back in her chair, spinning her pencil between her fingers and yawning.

The bell, rings, she lets the chair fall forward, grabs her bag and steps out of the classroom - right into the path of a student.

Speed-walking through the halls, hands in pockets, Kris had a bad habit of not looking directly in front of herself when walking. To prove this, she inevitably crashedsinto a peer. She steps back and apologizes. "Ah, sorry. Should have watched where I was going." She said, finally looking in front of her.

Jess pauses, her crimson hair now in disarray - though it was already pretty messy before.

She straightens her bright pink leather jacket, and stares at her peer.

"It's fine. Just make sure you keep your eyes up in the future." she says, a small smile crossing her face as she looks the other girl up and down, examining her.

Kris stared, her eyes half-lidded. She usually looked either tired or unamused. The pupils curtained by her eyelids stared at Jess and analyzed her carefully. 'Well, aren't you colorful?' She thought to herself, smiling slightly. "Will do, my friend." She saluted sarcastically, tossing her head to one side which she knew made her black hair look spikier and more unintentional.

Jess raises a cool eyebrow - also crimson, which set off her bright, emerald green eyes.

"What's your name?" she asks, leaning up against a locker casually, indicating she'd like to stay and talk a bit.

"I'm Kris," She laughed. "And you?" Her hand clung to her bag strap, showcasing chipped black nail polish, as usual. She had a habit of picking at it. The other was concealed under the sleeve of a half-zipped, red hooded cardigan, paired with cuffed jeans that were faded at the knee. Her shirt appeared to be one for a band, though the jacket covered the name, it was a white shirt with a warped-looking cassette tape on it. Kris removed the headphones from around her neck and put them in her bag as the new face replied.

"Jess." she replies, running a small hand through her hair, "fixing" it to look messier than it already was.

Her black skirt rode up slightly as she stretches, her loose Black Sabbath band shirt clearly visible as her pink leather jacket opens slightly.

"You new here? I've never seen you around."

"Jess." Kris mumbled to herself, she did it to remember names. "I don't know, maybe," She looked thoughtful for a moment. "Been here for… four months? Not sure." Kris smiled again, watching Jess run her hand through her hair, a move she herself knew well. 'Damn, now I can't.' She thought.

Jess tilts her head.

"Transfer, huh? What state?"

"Warwick, Rhode Island." Kris said. "I've been to California before moving here, but it was a while ago."

Jess chuckles.

"Damn, that's a long way. Must be a dramatic change in temperature to get used to." she replies.

"A bit." Kris laughs. "How long have you been here?"

"All my life, actually." Jess shrugs.

"Well, all my life that I can remember. I was told by my dad - may he rest in peace - that after I was a year old, we moved here from another place, but he wouldn't tell me where."

Kris' smile faded. "How long ago was it? If you don't mind me asking." Kris' parents separated, actually, six months prior- her mom had full custody and moved to California. She knew it was morbid but sometimes she pretended her father was dead, or at least didn't exist, but couldn't imagine actually losing a parent.

"My mom died when I was 6 months old. My dad was a war vet, and we moved to California to get away from the memories of our old home. Not that I can remember much, but still." Jess shrugs.

"Oh- sorry, that sounds difficult." Kris absentmindedly picked at her nail polish. "Er, what class do you have next?"

"Math, but I'm skipping that today. Want to join me?" Jess grins, immediately taking the opportunity to abandon their previous conversation.

Kris' eyes widened, erasing their previous sleepy-looking state. "Sure! I-I'm up for that." Aware that the subject might've been changed for a reason, Kris jumped on the chance to change it as well- and hell, maybe hang out with this girl. "Where to?"

"Let's go to Starbucks, I need to get coffee." Jess laughs, stretching again and shifting the strap of her shoulder bag so that it rested comfortably over her shoulder.

"Sure."
Once they'd exited the campus, Kris realized she hadn't skipped before. "They wont know we're out?"
