"The arcade? I can do that," Sage thought for a moment, "I have some money on me."

Scorpius nods with a bright smile. "Let's go then." He grins at Virgo. "I'm Scorpius. You?" He asks curiously as he carries the others books to his locker.

“Virgo,” He introduced himself shyly as they walked to his locker. Thankfully it wasn’t too far away, and before long he was entered his combination in and opening it. “Thank you for helping me with my books,” Virgo said, a tiny smile appearing on his face.

"The arcade? I can do that," Sage thought for a moment, "I have some money on me."

“Ooh that sounds like fun,” Zoey chimed in with a smile. She would’ve liked to see Mary Poppins too, but an arcade was just as good of an option.

Scorpius nods and chuckles. "It's no problem." He replies while setting his books gently into his locker. "Everyone has one of those days." He hums as he brushes some hair from his eyes.

"Imma call Scorpi and see if he want's to ditch with us." Mars said while pulling out his phone and dialing his friends number.

Scorpius looks at his phone and answers. "Yo." He says leaning against the lockers. "What ya want, boss man?" He asks curiously, a small smirk on his lips.

"Wanna ditch with us? We're going to the arcade and'll probably get some pizza or somethin after." Mars yawned. "I'll even share my smokes."

"Can't man, sorry. I gotta pass this final or I get to repeat high school." He grabbed a lollipop from his pocket and sucked on it. "Besides, I'm helping out a friend here. I'll catch you guys at the arcade, yeah?"

(Wait what time of the day is it?)
Virgo glanced at Scorpius when he picked up the phone as he hurried put his books into his locker only to get a set of different books. He couldn’t believe the tall guy seemed so casual, from what he’d heard from the phone conversation it didn’t sound like he had the best of grades right now. If Virgo didn’t have all ‘A’s -or maybe one ‘B’- by this time of year, he would be panicking.

Scorpius was a B grade level. But he wanted to do well. And he knew the finals were the best way possible to get an A. The only class he had a C in was Chemistry. So he needed to get that up. He ran a hand through his already harassed hair and sighed.

Julia sighed harshly while she scrolled through her phone. She didn't make many connections this year, although she worked hard, she got a minimum of straight B's. She meet some people, but she didn't become friends with them. Her only friend was the internet and its poetry sharing websites.

“So what did he say?” Zoey asked Mars, raising an eyebrow. She didn’t know Scorpius very well, but he seemed nice.

_{(I’m just gonna add a little to attempt to revive this…)}
Virgo was double checking to make sure he had everything when he heard a familiar voice. Kemp. “Hey nerd, whatcha doing, huh?” A tall guy with bleached blonde hair sauntered up, hardly sparing a glance at Scorpius as he leaned on the locker right next to Virgo. “Where’s my pre-calc, huh?”
Virgo paled just a little, almost dropping his books again as he got into his locker and pulled out a folder before looking away nervously. Kemp took the folder, looking it over with distaste.
