She took a chance during lunch and slipped into the line for milk.

Colton sat alone at an empty table during lunch, taking a few painkillers he’d smuggled out the house.

Paige noticed him sitting alone. She'd decided last night not to tell anyone about her plan, but… She cautiously slipped up behind him. "Colton?"

Colton jumped a little bit, “Jesus Paige. Don’t do that!”

"Sorry!" she apologized out of default.

(I just realized I should prolly label the rp closed…)

Colton shook his head a little, “You don’t have to apologise.”

Paige glanced around. "I need to get out of here before someone sees me. Want to come?"

Colton frowned, “What have you done?”

"Nothing! Are you coming?" she hissed.

Colton's frown deepened but he nodded and stood, wincing but trying to hide it.

Paige was a good observer. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

“Yeah, ‘cause I am.” Colton gave her a small smile.

“I saw you flinch when you stood up,” she pointed out softly.

Colton looked away, “It’s nothing…”

Paige frowned. She wanted to know the truth, but she knew she had to leave before the person who was looking for her realized that she was here. She'd let it slide… for now. "Come on, we should go," she said, heading for the door slowly, waiting for him to follow.

Colton released a breath through his nose and looked back towards her before following. He knew she was going to ask again and he was going to have to tell her, no matter what happens.

Paige lead the way to the closet and her secret haven. She opened the door and held it for Colton to enter. She looked around constantly and was tense until the door shut.

“What’s going on Paige?” Colton asked, walking towards the bench but stopping and looking back at her.

"You tell me first," Paige replied.

“Oh no, we are not doing this,” Colton rubbed his face, “Why are you hiding?”

Paige pursed her lips. “Fine… I’m hiding from my mother.”

“Why? What did she do?” Colton took a step towards her.

“She’s making me the lead role in the play!” Paige cried. “I told her I didn’t want to try out at all and she said she would make me the lead role by default!”

Colton clentched his fists at his side but willed himself to relax, “Tell her that just because she made you the lead, doesn’t mean you’re going to do it. Don’t show up to the rehearsal and she’ll see your point.”

"That's why I've been hiding in here all day!" Paige justified. "But then I'll have to go home with her…"
