Setting: Twenty minutes later. Blaise's first class of the day, Advanced Latin Studies. She's the last one to walk in but she's right on time, in her uniform, make-up done, hair up in a chignon and smile in place as she calmly takes her seat beside Tyler. Sitting near the back, they pass notes nearly every day. Today is no exception.

Ten: Pass It On

How is it that girls can look like hell one minute, go into their rooms and come out looking perfect?

That's part of the mystery, silly. Haha, just sit back and enjoy it.

I always do. Listen, I don't want to bug you about last night but Reid didn't tell me much.

-eye roll- Of course he didn't. Nothing happened, we just took a drive, watched some movies and fell asleep.

He said you guys were drinking. You know you have a low tolerance.

It was mostly me. He didn't drink much so he could keep an eye on me. He was good, I promise. You should be proud haha

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

Honestly? I was drunk and I knew you'd be upset. I didn't want to get into it with you at midnight, at Reid's house, drunk. I'm sorry if I worried you.

It's alright. I hate to sound like your dad.

Haha, someone has to, right? Ps- meet me in my room during lunch and you can show me just how unlike a dad to me you are ;)

Can't wait. By the way, are we still meeting up for the movies tonight?

Yah, but the group thing is kind of falling apart. Julia can't go, and Reid doesn't want to.

What's new.

: ( He's trying Tyler, give him a break. He's having to deal with ascending all on his own, it's not easy for him.

He wouldn't have to be alone if he would be civil with me for a change.

You haven't ascended yet, he probably doesn't feel like you can relate or help him figure out what's going on.. Just give him his space, you know this is like puberty all over again for him.

I just wish he'd talk to me….I miss him.

I know you do. You and him have always been close. Haha, I remember when I first started playing with you guys in elementary school. You hated me because I was "taking Reid away from you".

Haha, yah we were in third grade. I was sad because I only ever got to see him at recess anyway, ok? Gimme a break.

No grudge here. You're pretty good about making it up to me nowadays ;)

Just pretty good?

Haha let's not kid ourselves- you's a balla!

You're pretty gangsta yourself

I try. Eesh…we should be taking notes

We're making our own. Obviously we're born leaders

Haha, oh yah, Spenser's finest. Sadly, I don't think Mr. Barnes is gunna see it that way when we fail the final

Guess we need to schedule a few study sessions ;)

Sounds good. I'm really gunna try and take notes now, I'll see you at lunch?

Most definitely. Answer your phone this time :p

Haha, I love it when you boss me around.

How you like Tyler now? lol I gotta give him credit, he is a cutie and a genuinely nice guy...I hate to make Blaise elongate that stereotype that nice guys finish last but...what are ya gunna do? lol Leave me some love and I'll leave you another chap ;)
