Jason Parker: bites nails Oh man! W-w-we're totally busted! What do we do now?!
looks around nervously We need to come up with an excuse, like, right now!
whispers urgently Uh, okay, here's what we're gonna do. We'll say we were just, uh, doing some... some... gestures wildly research for a school project or something!
grabs MintyJoy's hand and starts walking briskly Come on, let's go tell those teachers our pathetic excuse before they catch us!
spots a teacher approaching Oh no, speak of the devil! Quick, MintyJoy, we gotta make our story believable!
fakes crying s-s-sorry sir, I got lost and then I got pushed by some students and I-I-I fell onto Jason
immediately jumps in Yeah, yeah, that's right! MintyJoy got lost in the school maze and accidentally landed on top of me. It was all a big misunderstanding, sir!
glares at the teacher I'm really sorry sir runs out of the hallway into the bathroom
quickly follows MintyJoy into the bathroom Hey, MintyJoy, don't be so hard on the teacher. I mean, he's not the one who pushed you, right?
puts a hand on MintyJoy's shoulder Look, I know it's frustrating, but we can't let this ruin our reputation. We've got to stick together.
nods im sorry I shouldn't have lied
grabs MintyJoy's hands No, no, don't apologize! You were just trying to protect us both. It's the right thing to do.
pulls away from the hug Alright, enough drama! Let's figure out a plan to make sure something like this never happens again.
paces back and forth Okay, we need to be more careful, especially when we're alone. Maybe we can set up a secret meeting place in the school...
looks through the window that's the bell ring that means 30 minutes until class
stops pacing and looks at MintyJoy Alright, we don't have much time. We need to come up with a signal, like a secret handshake or something, so we can recognize each other if we're being watched.
