" HUNGOVER?"

a voice asks, making Renee to lift her head off of the table. She exhaled as she noticed the class room begin to fill up, Jaylee included as she placed her bag on top of the desk.

A sweet smile on her face as she Renee acknowledged it was her and smiled back

" just a genuinely horrible night, the quarter bottle of vodka I drank didn't really help."

The smiles, sitting down and tilts her head to look at me " wanna talk about it?" she hums.

She doesn't pry like others would, doesn't force Renee to answer but instead asks, a courtesy she isn't granted often.

The blonde exhales " nah, I'm all good."

Jaylee hums, trying not to look slightly deflated as Renee watches as she sits down.

The phone buzzes in her pocket buzzes. Renee picks the phone up and opens the message that makes whatever makeshift smile was beforehand on her face fall off.

contact: fletch

fletch
talk?

Renee looks up, noticing the brunette looking at her from across the room, his body rotated so he is facing her and not the girl who is hopelessly waiting for him to pay attention to her. he looks guilt ridden as he should do.

renee
I think you did enough of that last night

fletch
I'm sorry

fletch
& I'm not even going to blame it on the drinks

renee
owning up to your own stupidity? is it doomsday?

Renee's head lifts at the deep laugh that exits his mouth as she presumes he reads it. It's a sweet sound, enough to make her smile despite her lingering annoyance for Fletcher.

fletch
as much as I dislike your boyfriend, I shouldn't be hassling to you about it.

fletch
it's not fair and for that I apologise

fletch
I'm sure he's nice enough

renee
thank you

renee
for that heartwarming apology and for the necklace, even though I didn't take it.

fletch
I'm sure it'll look good on you

renee
flattery will get you nowhere mr Fletcher

fletch
...worth the try

one final smile from one another before she locked her phone and placed it back in her bag.

" CHARLESTON?" Renee asked slightly louder than she anticipated. hiding herself behind a pillar outside of the of the school buildings, her phone pushed to her cheek as she spoke to JJ over the phone " JJ I can't just go to Charleston."
