This is just a very short one-shot based on a tumblr post by the90swerentreal that says "One time in high school I was waiting to talk to the Vice Principal and this other kid came in and sat down next to me. He said 'What are you in for?' And I said 'Oh, they just want to know if it's cool if I miss my classes tomorrow to run sound and lights for a presentation in the auditorium. What are you in for?' and he said that he stabbed a kid with a screwdriver. I told him we led very different lives and he agreed."

Someone commented "Imagine your OTP" and I was instantly reminded of these two. Hope you guys enjoy.


Jason sat awkwardly on a plastic chair waiting for Principal Chiron to spare some minutes to talk to him. He'd been waiting for at least fifteen minutes, and his ADHD was starting to show.

Distracted, he gave a jolt as another person suddenly sat unceremoniously on the seat next to his. Jason recognized the girl as Piper McLean, one of his Ancient Literature class troublemakers.

Piper turned towards him and raised an eyebrow.

"What are you here for?" she asked.

"My friends Reyna and Frank wanted me to ask if it was alright to miss two periods tomorrow," he answered carefully. "We have a presentation and we've to make sure the lights and sound work fine in the auditorium."

Piper nodded with a smirk, as if expecting that kind of answer.

"What about you?" he wondered at last.

"I stabbed my buddy Leo with a screwdriver," she replied with a shrug.

Jason stared at her wide-eyed. She chuckled lightly.

"Yeah," she said. "That was the reaction I was looking for."

"Oh," Jason sighted with relief. "So you didn't really… stab someone."

"I did actually stab him," she corrected.

"You and I lead very different lives," Jason stated.

"That we do," she agreed. "By the way, you don't need Chiron's permission to do your auditorium check-in thingy, just your teacher's."

"For real?" he deadpanned.

"Yep," she said as he got up and grabbed his things. "Good luck on your presentation."

"And you on…" he stopped in his tracks, his hand pointing awkwardly towards the principal's office door. "I hope your friend gets better, I mean."

She smiled again and waved him goodbye as Chiron opened the door, saw Piper and sighted.

As Jason left the room he could hear Chiron inquiring about her visit. He shook his head, what a strange girl Piper was.
