"You must be popular, huh? I'm surprised people talk about anything but you." Kris only realized how weird this sounded to say after it was already said.

Jess chuckles.
"They never found out who did it, that's why everyone was tallking about it. I even spread some rumors about who actually did it; I said at one point that maybe Mrs. Jantsch did it."
"Really? Did they actually believe something like that?"
"Actually, yeah. Everyone knows Mrs. Jantsch hates Mr. Rose. Something about an affair." Jess shrugs.
"Speaking of which, if we do happen to get caught, what then? Kinda hard to pretend we were wrapped up with some other thing in the bathroom after that."
"Yeah. . . I'm an accomplished smooth talker. I can weasel my way out of anything if I want." Jess laughs.
"And besides, nobody checks bathrooms."
"Huh, pretty lenient here." Kris commented.
"It's Los Angeles, nobody cares. You can smoke weed in the halls and nobody would bat an eye. I've seen people do it."
"Damn. Back at my old school they'd send you for getting your phone out."
Jess raises an eyebrow.
"That's harsh. Like, what if your dog just died and your mom was trying to break the news to you? You really think you should just, like, wait all day to see that text and feel shittier later?"
"Exactly! Actually, I think something like that happened once. Might've been a cat or whatever. The boy's mom got really mad at the staff." Kris leaned back on the counters that the sinks were attached to. "Felt like a badass when I put "fuck" in pen on one of the stalls. Could've thought of better but someone was coming."
Jess laughs.
"You get it!"
She grins. "Oh, that's tame. You need to do better. I'm going to show you a true badass moment."
Kris stood upright. "Yeah. Again, could have done better. What do you suggest, then?"
"Well, for starters, this. . ." Jess smirks, taking off her bookbag and going through it, eventually coming out with a black paint pen.
She shakes it, then walks into one of the stalls, starting to write.
After ten minutes, she finishes and steps back to reveal an entire paragraph of lewd and descriptive insults and innuendos, tapping her chin with the end of the pen before stepping forward again and signing it as "From Yours Truly, the Prankster of Freeman Highschool!"
She turns to Kris and grins.
"Well, what do you think?"
"That'sā¦ a lot for 'starters'." Kris says, inspecting it. She looks back at Jess. "It's great."
Jess chuckles.
"And the best part is, this bathroom is frequently used. We'd better get out of here soon, by the way, class is nearly over."
"Oh, right. Last class too." Before leaving, Kris quickly whips her phone out. "Uh, can I- yknow, so we can hang out or something? Your number, I mean."
Jess chuckles and pulls out her phone, then takes ahold of Kris', punching in the string of numbers.
"There you go. Make sure to specify that it's you, by the way."
"Alright, then." Kris waits a few seconds, standing there. "Cya, Jess." She then smiles genuinely and leaves.
Jess chuckles and waves.
She steps out of the bathroom a little bit after Kris, into the teeming mass of people shoving their way to the outside world; just another body in a sea of bodies.
(should we skip to the next day or continue off?)
(Time skip, nothing much will happen I think)
Kris arrived early. She waited in the cafeteria for the bell to ring, headphones on. After carefully considering many things to say, she messaged Jess.
'are you here rn? its kris btw'
Jess pops a bubble with her gum, her hair and eyebrows now bright bubblegum pink.
"Yeah, I'm here. Furthest doors of the cafeteria, near the windows. Look for bright pink lady, you'll find me."
'Bright pink lady?' Kris thought, eyebrows furrowed. She scanned the room and saw a girl that resembled Jess, just with bright pink hair. She was on her phone as well. Kris stood and walked toward her. "Morning, bright pink lady."
