❝ STOP LOOKING AT HER LIPS! ❞

Juliet woke to the sound of her alarm going off and she reached over to quiet the obnoxious beeping. Raising her arms to stretch the sleep from her limbs, she threw back the covers and stood. After making her bed, she pulled a pair of jeans and a collared shirt with red, black and white flowers on a light blue background.

After pulling on a pair of black boots she left her room fully-dressed to make her way to the bathroom she shared with her mom. As she started her morning routine, she couldn't help but notice (again) how similar her eyes were to Barron's. She'd always considered herself lucky to have such bright blue eyes though she hadn't really thought about them much before she'd started high school.

Juliet finished by brushing out her long red hair (she'd been considering having it cut) and headed to the kitchen to grab some breakfast before it was time to go. Daly was there already, preparing dinner for the night. Since Barron had come into their lives, the red-haired woman had made more of an effort to start her shift early so her evenings would be free to spend time with her daughter to help make things less awkward between her and her estranged father. While their relationship was better than it had been before the summer, they still treated each other with caution.

Daly looked up at the sound of her daughter's footsteps entering the kitchen and smiled at her in greeting. "Ready for your first day of school?"

The girl shrugged. "I suppose. I don't expect much to happen today at least."

The red-haired woman paused in chopping the carrots to look up at her. "You're friends with Cory and Shawn," she reminded her with amusement. "They always have something going on."

Juliet put the toast in the toaster and set it to medium before she poured some juice in a glass. "I know," she agreed. "That's why I'm hoping today will be at least normal. It's probably too much to wish for, though."

"What do you think it will be this time?" Daly mused Fconversationally as she sealed the carrots in a plastic container before she washed the zucchini.

"Who knows?" the redhead responded with a roll of her eyes as she buttered her toast. "I'll find out soon enough. It'll probably have something to do with Cory being dramatic."

At school, most of the student population stood in front of their open lockers, looking into mirrors as they adjusted their hair, makeup, or something similar. Juliet had already closed hers, satisfied that her appearance hadn't changed much in the thirty minutes between when she'd left the house and now. Shawn was still standing in front of his, messing with his hair.

"Yes, fine, you're perfect," Cory grumbled to his best friend. "Now can we get out of the hallway where everyone can see you?"

"Not everyone can see you, Cor," Juliet reassured him sympathetically, though she had trouble hiding her smile at his hopeful expression. "The teachers are in their classrooms."

He groaned. "Great, just great. Thanks, Jules."

"No problem," she replied cheerfully, "but seriously, Shawnie, we're gonna be late."

"Hold on. I just need to get a little more hair in my eyes," Shawn protested as he fixed the front strands to do as he said. (If pressed by anyone except Topanga, Juliet would have denied the quiet, dreamy sigh that escaped her lips as she watched him.)
