Author's note: This is basically taking two new characters and dropping them into the WMHS glee club like they've always been there. It also focuses on the character of Jeff the Warbler and his interaction with those characters and his friends at Dalton. Includes all other New Directions characters as well. Set in season 2 time when Kurt was at Dalton, around just after they won sectionals. Everything before then is canon, everything after that is fair game and probably won't match up completely alongside the show storyline. Just something random.

If you read this please write a review just so I can know if anyone actually cares or not lol. I have nothing really planned as far as length and such, just going to keep writing until I figure it out.

Note: I don't own anything related to Glee in any way or any songs or things I may reference. I do own my OC's however.


Juliet's POV

Juliet walked as slow as she could to Glee club that afternoon, she wasn't too sure why she didn't really feel like going to rehearsal, but she just didn't. Sure, everyone was in happy spirits, they just won sectionals, tied with "The Warblers" even which is the Glee Club at the school Kurt transferred too, but she was just in a blah kind of mood.

She knew that everyone was going to be hyped up and talking about which songs they should do for regionals...even though they all knew that they'd completely change their mind once the date got closer.

She walked into the room and saw that she was late and Mr. Shue was already standing up front starting his lesson of the week. Juliet silently cursed herself in her head, even though she was in a club that was all about performing, she hated all eyes on her unless she knew exactly what she was doing.

"Hey Juliet you're late, take a seat." Mr. Shue turned around from what he was writing on the white board as she scurried in. She could feel her face turn a slight shade of red as she slid into a seat next to her best friend Tatum.

Her and Tatum had been best friends since before they could remember. They'd met in kindergarden and just never stopped being friends. They knew everything about each other, they even joined glee club together, after some persuasion from Tina and Mercedes at least.

Tatum was pretty creative and more outgoing than Juliet. She liked cracking jokes and keeping the peace, but wasn't afraid to confront a situation if needed - unless it had to do with something she was personally dealing with. All those emotions were locked up inside.

Juliet on the other hand was more quiet than not. She liked finding creative ways to express herself but wasn't the most confident on stage, though she was trying to work on it. She was pretty independent and tried to go with the flow, but always staying more or less in the background and trying to help everyone else out.

Sometimes the girls wondered how they are such good friends, their lives were quite different. Tatum lived on the rich side of Lima, her house was so big she had a separate guest house that no one ever even used expect when Tatum and Juliet used it for sleepovers with their friends, or if they didn't want to be around either of their families. Tatum had her own car, her family owned a house on the lake that was about a half hour away and her parents told her they'd pay for her to go to a private school, but she turned them down. Although she had all of these things, Tatum never acted like a stuck up little rich girl. She just lived her life like everyone else and did her own thing.

Juliet's life was more or less the opposite of that. She wasn't exactly what you'd call poor - but they sure were heading in that direction. Things had never really been all that normal around Juliet's house, they lived in a tiny place that no one bothered to really upkeep too well. Juliet tried the best she could but she had other things to do. Growing up she had an older sister named Katie who was 7 years older than her, her Dad was a construction worker and her Mom was a secretary. Nowadays Katie has been long gone, she moved out as soon as she could, and she hardly speaks with any of them anymore. Juliet used to be bothered by that, they were close when she was younger, but she's let it go. Tatum was more or less her sister now anyways.

Juliet's relationship with her Dad was never a strong one, they didn't really talk to each other that much and he was usually angry. In fact neither of Juliet's parents really talked to her. Well it wasn't like they didn't talk to her but they weren't as invested in her day to day life as you'd expect a parent of a teenager to be. But lately everyone seemed more withdrawn than usual, Juliet started to suspect her Mom didn't even really care about her much at all anymore.

Juliet's Dad had lost his job back in June of her sophomore year more than 5 months ago, ever since that happened money had been tight. She often heard arguments between her parents late at night that scared her. She knew her Dad had a past with some drug and alcohol abuse and she was praying that those habits wouldn't come back because he was depressed about being unemployed. Even to own the house they lived in they depended on both her Mom and her Dad's salary and Juliet was afraid of what they were going to have to do if things weren't going to start working out. When she was at school though she tried not to think of any of her families problems. Tatum was the only one who really knew the truth anyways, to everyone else she was as normal as they were.

"Way to be late." Tatum whispered to Juliet as she sat down on her left side. Juliet shrugged. She didn't really have much to say to that, it wasn't like she had much of an excuse. She heard part of the club groan as Mr. Shue revealed what he had written on the board.

"Inspirational songs!" He told the club excitedly! "You know, the songs that really get you going and excited about life and adventures! Or the songs that have influenced your life in a very meaningful way. We've done a lot of inspirational Journey songs in here, so what are some songs that come to your mind?" He waited patiently for them all to think of something good.

Most people had a confused look on their face. Finn, unexpectedly, was the first to speak up.

"Well I don't really know if this counts but that Bon Jovi song 'Its My Life' is pretty cool. I was pumped we did it as part of a mash up last year. It kinda talks about just going for stuff and not holding back." He shrugged, unsure if he answered the question right.

"That's good Finn! Great. Does anyone else have any?" Mr. Shue glanced around at the people who don't speak up too often. Tina spoke up.

"Uh, well I've always found Michael Jackson's 'Man in the Mirror' to be a cool song, even though he was saying 'Man' I always applied to my own life." Artie looked back and nodded in agreement.

"Yo Michael Jackson songs are always inspirational, the dude is a legend." Mr. Shue looked ecstatic that people were coming up with ideas.

"Okay, the assignment for this week is to find a song that has meaning to you, maybe it inspired you to do something in your life, or maybe someone inspired you to sing it. But everyone has to pick one and perform it for us all."

Everyone started to chatter amongst themselves at word of their assignment for the week. Mercedes and Tatum turned to Juliet to talk.

"Hey girl, Tatum, Tina, Rachel and I are gonna go visit Kurt at Dalton tomorrow after school, do you wanna come?" Juliet's eyes lit up at the idea. Tatum, Mercedes, Tina, and Kurt had kind of become a little group over the past year of Glee club and they all missed him now that he had to transfer.

"I'd love too...but why is Berry coming?" She never hung out with Rachel all that much, not that she had anything against her really but she was just confused on why she'd be coming too.

Mercedes shrugged, "Kurt wanted her too, they're kinda getting to be good friends I think." Her eyes cast downward for a split second and then popped right back up, "But he wants to show us around there and have us see how much different it is over there. I think it will be fun!"

Tatum spoke up, "Yeah not to mention there will be some fine lookin' fellas over there...an all boys school now that is just heaven." she said wistfully. The girls rolled their eyes and chuckled at her. Juliet knew that Tatum was trying to get over this crush she had on Puck now that he seemed super interested in the new member of the club Lauren Zizes, but not much was working.

Glee club lasted for another half hour or so, Rachel decided she had a song she wanted to share with everyone and then started talking about what she thought we should do for regionals. Most people tuned her out until she was done talking.

As they all were packing up to leave, Juliet texted Kurt. "I am sooo pumped we are coming to see you tomorrow!" Juliet slung her backpack over her shoulder and said goodbye to her other friends. She followed Tatum out to the parking lot. She often got rides from her best friend because although she had her license, she didn't often have access to a car.

Her phone buzzed. "I'm so glad you all are coming! You can meet some of my other friends here besides Blaine, we can show you around!" Kurt replied to her. Sometimes Kurt, with Blaine in tow, met them at the Lima Bean to hang out. Kurt seems to have become the closest to Blaine over at Dalton, but he was the only one of them that she had actually met! Juliet texted back, "Sounds awesome. I'll see you tomorrow."

Tatum dropped Juliet off at home, she wasn't sure if her Dad was going to be home or not, she was hoping not but you never really knew. She opened the front door and froze because she heard voices in the kitchen. One she recognized as her Dad's but the other one she didn't know, it sounded deep and gruff. She took her shoes off as quietly as she could. Even though she was starving, she decided to avoid the kitchen. She glanced in on her way past, it was the only way to get to her room. She tried to get a look at who it was. Whoever it was he looked kind of sketchy.

She got to her room and closed and locked the door behind her. She glanced around at her tiny and plain room. She had put up a few posters of some bands or movies she liked but never tried too hard to make it like home. She tried to spend the least amount of time there as possible. She was glad she was going to go hang out at Tina's tonight to do some homework because she hated being stuck in her house for too long.

A couple hours later she left her room with the intent of leaving and walking to Tina's. Her Mom stopped her on the way out.

"Where are you going?" Her tone indicated that she wasn't in the best mood.

"To Tina's house." Juliet said defensively.

"Why are you always going to your friend's houses when you could be doing your homework, or getting a job! You better pass those classes, we can't afford to have you fail and stay back!" This was coming out of nowhere, Juliet had always been an honor roll student.

"I'm going over there to study, and since when do you care anyways?" Juliet's Mom scoffed at her.

"Oh whatever just go to your friends house, what do I care." With a wave of her arm she left the room and went into the kitchen where her husband was.

Juliet furrowed her brow, she was perplexed at the entire conversation that just happened. Her Mom kept going back and forth between caring too much and caring too little. Not taking another second to see if her Mom was going to change her mind, Juliet snuck out the door and into freedom.


The next day at school Juliet couldn't concentrate because she was excited about going on a little road trip with her friends to visit Kurt. They all settled on Mercedes driving them in her car and each of them would give her a little bit of gas money.

Each class felt like they took forever to finish, especially math - the worst class of them all. The final bell rang for the day and Juliet sprang out of her seat, she loved having plans! She smiled as she made her way to the meeting spot. They all decided that they should met at Tatum's locker after school.

When Juliet got there, she saw Tatum staring at Puck and Lauren having a conversation at the lockers over by the Algebra II door. She strolled up to Tatum and hip checked her so she almost fell over.

"Ohh hey Juliet there you are, I was just looking for you." Tatum peeled her eyes away from the couple in the corner.

Juliet rolled her eyes at her best friend. "Yeah, I'm sure you were." She glanced over at the kid with the mohawk and then back at Tatum. Tatum sighed.

"You know, if Zizes wasn't so cool, I'd hate her. But I just can't." She said putting her books in her locker. Juliet put her hand on her friends shoulder and sighed. She didn't really know exactly how Tatum felt, she tended to keep her feelings hidden quite well and never fell too hard for any guy. They more than likely weren't going to like her back anyways so what was the point?

"I'm sorry T, maybe it just wasn't meant to be." Juliet said honestly. Tatum scoffed at her.

"Please no inspirational speeches, I'm sure by the end of the week I'll be sick of anything that's inspiring."

Just then Mercedes came strolling up, explaining how Tina couldn't come because her Mom wouldn't let her. Rachel came a minute later with her "necessary road trip playlists" in tow and the four of them were headed out to the parking lot.

They took the drive over to Dalton, humoring Rachel on her song selections for the first half of the ride before they couldn't take anymore Broadway show tunes. Not that there was anything wrong with that music, but it's good to mix it up once in a while. Managing to not get lost once, they pulled into a parking lot that Kurt told them to park in and got out of the car.

"Kurt said to call him when we got here and he'd come get us." Rachel explained as she pulled out her phone. She called Kurt and not more than a minute later he came running out to them.

"GUYS! It's so great to see you!" He gave each of them a hug before excitedly rushing them inside.

"I'm really glad you guys could come. We are just finishing up Warbler practice...not that you can see what we are practicing anyways! But I'll show you around the school first!"

He gave them a grand tour - the place really looked more like a palace than a school, it definitely had a different tone than Mckinley. Dalton was a boarding school, and it very much looked like a place where you could live. However they did also accept day students, Kurt was one of them. He hated having to get up extra early to travel, but he had once told them it was cheaper than paying the room and board tuition along with the enrollment fee. He told them that not many other students were just day students, but there were a few warblers who were and that they would meet them in a few minutes.

Kurt showed them all of his favorite spots, all the places the Warblers had randomly burst out into song, and where all his classes were. He seemed really happy there. The last stop was the Warbler practice room, they were done for the afternoon and there were still a few of them just hanging out in there. Kurt opened the doors and when they stepped in, all the heads in the room turned and looked their direction.

"Hey guys, these are my friends from my old school. You might recognize them from sectionals." Kurt introduced the four girls to the room.

The guys all smiled and waved and said various versions of hello. Juliet took a second to look around the room. There were a few guys scattered about, all dressed in the same blue, red and white uniform. She vaguely remembered a few faces from sectionals, they were all quite handsome. Kurt went around and pointed out everyone that was there and introduced them.

"Okay guys, this is Rachel, Mercedes, Tatum, and Juliet!" He pointed to each as he said their names.

He then went over to the Warblers and introduced some of them, "Of course you know Blaine," Blaine waved at them, "and this is David, Wes, and Thad. They are the council of the Warblers that lead us instead of a director." He pointed to the three guys sitting behind a big desk off to the side. Kurt then moved over to the couches and work tables. "Over here is Beat Box, Trent, and Nick." Kurt paused, "Huh, everyone else has seemed to disappear after practice."

"Oh, Jeff's coming back in a sec, we were all going to have a study session for that chemistry test tomorrow...ugh." The brown haired one that Kurt said was Nick spoke up.

"Oh, well we don't want to bother any of you." Rachel said looking around like she was trying to soak up any competition secrets she could find in their wallpaper.

"Yeah, I think we can hold off on the studying for a little bit to talk to some pretty girls." David laughed and smiled at them. That broke the ice a little more and everyone in the room chuckled and smiled. Just then the door opened and a shaggy haired blond kid scrambled in.

Jeff's POV

Jeff couldn't believe he left is stupid Chemistry stuff all the way in his car across the building. He knew they were going to study after Warbler practice. He ran all the way to the parking lot, his car was easy to find it was one of the more "used" looking ones. He grabbed his heavy textbooks and hurried back to the room as quickly as he could. He opened the door to the practice room and almost dropped his books as he froze in his tracks.

"Hey Jeff, these are my friends from Mckinley." Kurt answered his first question.

"Oh, hey." He brushed the hair out of his eyes and smiled at them trying to make a good impression. It wasn't like there were a lot of girls at the school running around.

"They just came up to visit and see what it's like here...maybe they'll transfer." Kurt said with a chuckle. That got a laugh out of everyone, seeing as Dalton is an all boys school.

"Hey, somehow I doubt anyone around here would mind that." Wes spoke up.

Most of the guys shrugged and muttered in agreement. Everyone was kind of standing there awkwardly, it was always funny when a girlfriend or a girl of any kind came to visit with one of the boys because no one else really knew what to do for a few minutes until they all relaxed and settled into just hanging out. Jeff went over to put his books on the table next to his best friend Nick and eventually everyone in the group started mingling and talking.

He recognized most of the girls there, they were all in New Directions he assumed. The one that caught his eye though was the tiny one at the end. He wished he hadn't been late so he could've caught her name. She had curly dark hair and her cheeks were stained a cute shade of pink like she was nervous. She was standing next to her friend with her arms crossed looking around. She seemed somewhat unsure of what to do. It seemed weird that someone who was in a club for performing would be nervous, but for whatever reason he found in endearing. He had to go talk to her.

Juliet's POV

Everyone was starting to just hang out and talk to each other now, all the guys seemed super nice and easy to get along with. She met David and Beat Box (what was his real name? She wasn't going to ask) as they went around the room introducing themselves to each girl. She was glad there wasn't any of that competition tension in the air, no one had even seemed to bring up regionals in any conversation yet so that was good. Juliet stood by as Tatum held a conversation with the one she thought Kurt said was Thad. Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around.

"Hey star girl." It was the blond one with the floppy hair that had come in late. He was really tall and had a goofy smile on his face. She felt her cheeks turning a shade of red and cursed herself silently. She suddenly got nervous, he just happened to be super cute and usually those ones don't talk to her. She must have had a confused look on her face because he spoke up again.

"Your earrings, they are shaped like stars, it's a song...sorry." He seem flustered and a tad embarrassed. "I just don't know your name." He held out his hand and smiled a great big smile, "I'm Jeff."

Juliet's heart started to beat faster. Why was she nervous? She couldn't figure herself out, she just met a bunch of the other Warbler boys and acted completely normal. Instead of staring she figured she should probably shake is his hand.

"I'm Juliet," she was glad she could remember her name, "or star girl works too."

Jeff's POV

Jeff felt like an idiot. "Star girl?" he asked himself in his head. He didn't know what was up, he never lost his cool in front of a girl. He wiped his hand quickly on his pants before holding it out for her to shake.

Juliet. That wasn't a name you heard too often unless you were reading Shakespeare in freshman english class. It was beautiful, or rather she was, the closer he got to her.

Her hand was small and warm when it shook his, he almost didn't want to let go but figured he probably should before she thought he was even more weird. He laughed when she mentioned the star girl nickname again, hoping she wasn't discretely making fun of him in some way.

"So...you are good friends with Kurt?" He didn't know what to say, he hoped he wasn't boring her. Her eyes lit up at that question however.

"Yeah, we really miss him over at Mckinley but he seems to really love this place." She looked genuinely happy for him. Jeff smiled at her.

"He's pretty cool, a good addition to the Warblers." She seemed to relax the more they spoke. All of a sudden Kurt appeared at their side.

"I think my ears were ringing!" He seemed very exuberant today, he must have missed seeing his friends. Jeff had decided he sure was glad that Kurt brought them to visit. Juliet laughed at Kurt's burst onto the scene. Her laugh was really adorable.

"We were just talking about how awful you were and how it was horrible that you dragged me here today." Juliet said with a smirk on her face. He saw Kurt make a face at her.

"You know you love me! Hey I'm glad you guys are talking, you have a lot in common." Kurt winked at Juliet and then slide away. Her face turned that adorable shade of pink again.

"Like what?" She hollered as he slide away over to where Blaine was. She glanced back in his direction. "Umm.." She seemed nervous again.

"He must mean how attractive we both are." Jeff swished his blond bangs to the side and ran his hand through his hair as if he was trying to be a model. He hoped she caught his joking tone, not that he didn't think she was attractive, he just didn't want her to think he thought so much about himself.

She laughed. That had to be a good sign, right?

Juliet's POV

She watched as he ran his hand through his bangs. Gosh he really was attractive. She laughed at him though because he also was adorable, and very nice.

Juliet didn't know what to say, she told herself this was why she was such a failure with guys. She always made things awkward by never having anything to say because of her nerves. Just as she was gearing up to speak, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She internally panicked.

She didn't want to look at it and seem like she was uninterested in what Jeff was saying, but if it was from one of her parents and she didn't answer right away she could be in trouble - they were weird about when they wanted to know what she was doing and when they could care less.

She decided she had to look at it. She pulled her phone out of her pocked and checked it as quickly as she possibly could.

"Where are you? Get home now!" It was from her Dad, that was never a good sign, he only talked to her when he was angry. She shoved her phone back in her pocket and laughed nervously at Jeff.

"Sorry about that, it was my parents." He shook his head with that smile still plastered to his face.

"No worries, I know how parents are." He paused. "Speaking of..." He pulled his own phone and checked it. "I'm only going to be able to study for chemistry for a little bit before my Mom will want me to head home."

Home? Juliet thought, so he must be one of the other day students that Kurt was talking about.

"So are you a day commuter like Kurt is?" She questioned him.

"Oh, yeah! I am. I go here because my Dad went here and wanted me to see if I liked it, and I do! But they also like me at home, plus the room and board is kind of expensive." His voice faded off.

"Where do you live?" She was curious at how far he had to travel.

He told her he lived in a town right next to Lima, practically on the line. When he told her the street name she was caught by surprise.

"Hey! That's only a couple streets over from where my friend Tatum lives, she lives right on the line too." Tatum turned around at the sound of her name.

"What?" She asked looking back and forth between Juliet and Jeff.

"Apparently we are neighbors! I live across the town line and a couple streets over from you on Pinewood." Jeff shrugged slightly and grinned.

"Hey that's pretty cool, so you must have to drive about as far as Kurt does to get here every morning." Juliet was jealous that her friend was much better at holding conversations.

"Yeah...you get used to it I guess." He laughed. He turned his head to look back at Juliet and she thought he was about to say something but then Kurt came back to interrupt.

"Sorry guys, Nick has insisted that you all must have your study session now, and we must get going back to Lima."

Jeff's POV

Curse chemistry. He didn't want her to leave. There was something about her that seemed so genuine but also mysterious. She seemed nervous and he wanted to know why. Juliet's friend Tatum spoke up first.

"Well, it was fun meeting you..." she trailed off at the end, he realized she didn't know his name.

"Jeff." He finished her sentence. "Nice to meet you too." He smiled at Tatum, she decided to go and say goodbye to everyone else she talked too. He turned his attention back to Juliet.

"It was great talking to you! Probably the best part of my day so far. Maybe we can hang out in Lima sometime?" He wondered if he sounded lame or like he was coming on too strong. I mean they did only talk for like less than 10 minutes.

She smiled at him and her whole face seemed to light up, he took that as a good sign.

"Yeah, that would be fun -" She was interrupted by one of her friends tugging at her arm saying they had to leave because someone had to have their car back at a certain time. She smiled at him again.

"See you around!" Then just like that they were all gone.

He looked around the room where his friends were settling down at various tables with their chemistry books. How could they think of studying after such a visit! He pulled up a chair next to Nick and lightly punched his arm.

"Thanks a lot bro, couldn't studying have just waited?" He sank back in his chair. Nick smirked at him.

"Sorry, they were nice but I am freaking out about this test and I have to get this studying done before Community is on tonight!" He said as he flipped his book open. Jeff shook his head at his friend.

"This is why you're single. Right here. I'm just letting you know." He chuckled. "Although that show is pretty great."

"Hey, if any girl can't appreciate the brilliance of Community they aren't worth my time!" He said half-jokingly. "However I did happen to notice your focus was on only one person in this room. Who was she?" Nick asked his seemingly love-struck friend.

Jeff's eyes lit up. "Juliet. Isn't that a great name? She lives near me too! Well I assume since her friend lives near me and they all live in Lima. I told her we should hang out sometime." Jeff smiled proudly.

"Did you happen to get her number so you could effectively make these plans?" Nick teased him. Jeff's eyes got wide.

"Oh I'm an idiot! I didn't even ask...I should text Kurt right now...do you think that's weird? No I'm going too anyways..." Jeff convinced himself as he took out his phone.

Juliet's POV

Kurt was catching a ride back home with them and everyone in the car was chatting about Dalton and how nice it was. Juliet sat back quietly and thought about that tall blond boy. She hoped they were going to be able to hang out again sometime, although knowing her luck he probably just said that to be nice. Mercedes's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.

"I saw Juliet chatting up a storm with that blond warbler." She looked up and saw Mercedes smirking at her through the rearview mirror. She gave her friend the evil eye while Kurt piped up.

"Oh thats Jeff, I was really hoping you two would talk. You have a lot in common actually, and judging from what I saw today I think he likes you!" Kurt had that mischievous look in his eye. Juliet scoffed at him.

"Yeah right, he was just being nice, I could barely hold up a conversation." Juliet was not a very confident person.

Tatum nudged her arm. "Didn't look that way to me. Don't be so hard on yourself. You do know it's possible for a guy to like you." Juliet rolled her eyes at her friends, but on the inside butterflies ran through her stomach - was it possible? She hadn't had any proof of this so far in her life.

"Hey don't get too close, they are the competition!" Rachel warned from the front passenger seat as she tried to put in a Streisand CD to see if anyone noticed. Everyone frowned at her.

"Rachel, do we not recall a little someone named Jesse St. James? Do we also not recall that I am on the Warblers and therefore the competition and you are still hanging out with me." Kurt was quick to defend.

Rachel huffed. "Yeah well that's different..." Her voice faded off until she gave up. Just then Kurt's phone went off. He read the text message and a huge smile filled his face.

"Julieeettt!" He sang her name. "You are going to want to see this." he told her as he shoved his phone in her face. She took a second to let her eyes adjust and then read the message:

"Kurt, is there anyway I can get Juliet's # from you? She left before I got to ask..." She looked at who the message was from, it said Jeff S. Her heart skipped a beat. A real guy just asked for her number. She couldn't help but break out in a huge smile.

"Jeff want's Juliet's numberrrr!" Kurt sang-shouted this through the car. Her face turned that familiar shade of red again.

"Eeek!" Tatum squealed as she hugged her friend while the rest of the car whooped and cheered. "Girl this is great! He seemed really nice, and quite cute!"

Juliet tried to downplay her excitement. Then her phone buzzed.

"Great hanging out with you today. Text me whenever and hopefully we can do it again soon :)" It was from a number that wasn't in her phone, it had to be Jeff. She blushed as she typed a reply back, trying to not seem so excited.

"It was fun, hope to see you sometime soon!"

Jeff's POV

He couldn't concentrate on any kind of homework until he got a text back. He hoped is message to her didn't sound stupid. His phone buzzed and he jumped to get it.

He smiled, he had an incoming text from 'Star Girl':

"It was fun, hope to see you sometime soon." He definitely wasn't going to be able to concentrate on studying anymore today.
