'TELL ME-'
Nicole's hand clamped over Jada's mouth, shutting her up just in time.
'We're in class, have some self-control.'
Jada swatted her hand away. 'Barty's yelling can cover up my singing no problem.'
'Why did Jonas run away?' Barty's voice boomed, making some of the students cover their ears.
'Maybe Jada, you can answer my question?' He half shouted half asked.
Jada stood up, whispering to Nicole who was sitting next to her. 'What was the question again...?'
'Expect no help from me.'
She groaned, expecting Barty to yell at her (again).
In fact he did.
'Is no one able to answer one single question?'
Everyone held their heads and some even squinted. Jada sighed.
...
'How was Barty today?'
'Even louder than usual.' Megan sighed and pulled out a sandwich. 'Ask Sierra for more.'
'So, Meg. How was Valentine's?'
'It was shit.'
Jada snorted. 'Most direct response ever.'
'Nothing to do. Got cake with Sierra after morning gaming, and went online the rest of the day.'
'We should've gone to Starbugs.' Sierra patted her on the back, nearly causing her to choke.
'Watch it,' Megan warned, and took another bite out of her lunch. 'Where's Edward?'
Sierra shrugged. 'Probably getting killed by Oliver. Jada, how was your valentines?'
'Nothing "Valentine" like,' she responded. 'There's going to be a Girls' Generation concert this weekend. Do you wanna come?'
'Sorry, I have plans. Maybe Megan could come.'
'You'll come right? Please?'
'No. Jada, no.'
'I don't see any reason why you could decline, though.'
'Shut the heck up,' Megan swatted Jada's hand away, and turned back to her phone, scrolling through Rebbit. The Overwatch forums were going crazy, even her messages were being spammed. She gritted her teeth and cleared all of her chats.
'Megan, you're coming no matter what. It's Girls' Generation, after all!'
'Taeyeon is your waifu, I get, I get. Fine, treat me to lunch for two weeks and I'll come.'
Jada gave her a closed-eye smile. 'Deal!'
