     She glances back over her shoulder, only to see him still trailing behind like a LOST PUPPY – gross. A huff falls from PURSED lips — oh, if looks could kill, she’d have COMMITTED MURDER. “Are you following me now, FREAKAZOID ?? What a stalker.” 
Image

        HE’S BEEN ACCUSED OF many things before, but never of being a stalker (let alone had anyone insult him like that). he furrows his brows together, pulling at the strap of his backpack.  kitty we... we’re literally in the same biology class

     “Nothing that concerns you.” Fingers are quick to snatch the item out of his hands, quickly tucking it between the pages of her binder. He doesn’t need to know about her QUINN IDOLIZATION – he doesn’t need to know anything ( it’s not like he knows much, regardless – blockhead much ?? ) “Now, move it” 
Image

         he’s confused by her hostility but not entirely put off by it; he tucks his hands in the pocket of his jacket when she snatches the sticker from his hands. okay... he turns to the side to let her through, though they seem to be headed in the same direction, which promptly makes him walk a few steps behind her, muttering to himself. what would... someone do...

        “Yeah – you’re DEFINITELY not.” There she goes – rubbing salt right in a fresh open wound. She KNOWS how awful she’s being – that she has no right to treat him like he’s scum on the bottom of her shoe – but she can’t stop herself. She might not love him, but she NEEDS him to adore her – NEEDS there not to be anyone else. He’s the only one that makes her feel like she’s worth something. “Like I said, Scott – do what you want.”

         DEFINITELY NOT -- because she loves someone else, because she wants someone else, because he’s nothing but a pawn in a game he’ll never win, because he’s TOO GOOD for a place like this, too good to be stuck in a situation like this one. his chest burns & now, he’s definitely sure it has NOTHING to do with his acid reflux.  i’m sorry for bailing. but i’m a friend before i am anything else. thanks for the reminder though, you really know how to kick someone when they’re down ”

        “ — you could always bring your MOM dinner at the hospital. I’m sure you’d win like – the best son of the year award if you did that.”

        she doesn’t have a shift tonight; she has a date, so i’m home alone...first brooke, now hanna -- he feels a HEAVINESS weighed on his chest he can’t seem to shake off. “ um, yeah... i’ll find something to do or whatever.

     “Are you FUCKING her too ??”  HYPOCRITE. HYPOCRITE. HYPOCRITE. She should take it back – feel some shred of remorse – but she can’t. Maybe she’s just not wired that way. “You don’t need to explain yourself to me. Do whatever the hell you want, McCall. I’m not your fucking keeper.”

           “ YOU’RE ACTING LIKE I DID something awful... his brows furrow -- he’s been on edge lately, everyone seemed to know exactly what to say & what to do to rile him up. but mostly, he was CONFUSED, overwhelmed. “ & its not like it MATTERS if i am or not. you’re NOT my girlfriend, brooke. you’ve made it 100% clear, HUNDREDS of times before. maybe i just want things to go back to NORMAL

      “ – so you can DITCH me, but not them,” she retorts, curt – her HONEYED tongue sharp as a KNIFE, “ – got it.” 
Image

         “ NO, NO I’M NOT TRYING to ditch you ”. he’s SINCERE; hurting her wasn’t his intention (he cringes anyway).  but hanna’s my best friend & i’ve been... really awful to her the past few weeks. i really don’t want to hurt you, but i can’t keep ditching her all the time. i wouldn’t be her best friend if i did

       “Maybe a little,” she beams, giggle floating from parted lips, “ – but, I don’t think it’ll be too bad.” With that, she hops up, quickly retrieving some construction paper & crayons, before returning back to the table, bright smile still in place. YES – she should be watching her girls more carefully – but, she’s found herself a summer distraction ( & a cute one at that ) – & besides, Brooke was always pushing her to be a little more daring. MAYBE this was her chance. “So – have at it.”

        HE WAITS CURIOUSLY (& excitedly), for emma’s return, putting his failed art project down on the ground, perhaps a trash can bin awaited it’s future, but for now he would focus on emma’s intoxicating personality. scott was as bright as the sun, but emma seemed to accompany his flame. he takes the materials with an EXCITED smile.  you’re ACTUALLY going to make me do this? i’m gonna make a fool out of myself ”.
