Jules constantly yells my name.

I put my head down

and frown

"Yes jules?"

i mutter

"listen, i know your crush just got a boyfriend but you have to pay attention

if you don't want to fail the 11th grade"

she exclaims

"oh come on jules,

we are on the roof"

i say

she rolls her eyes,

probably wishing me to get up

"alexa auclair, you will get up now"

she says affirmatively, too cute to notice

i look up at her and

pull her down

Not hurtful in any way, instead

playfully

she giggles, ringing through my ears

like the sound of eternal happiness.

as she falls into my lap

i look at her

pretty

face.

"jules, i will not fail. this is a free period"

i assert

like it's the

truth

it's long gone past eighth period.

"you know that's not true. Ms. relroy was looking for you, i literally had to search for you"

she says but she is lying.

i've been up here for an hour

she always knows

where

i go.
