Jacob: nervously whispers Hey! This place sucks, huh? fidgets with his pencil
Stranger
"It's not so bad..." She leaned back, crossing her arms. "At least we're together."
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your response
Together? You mean like, trapped together? snorts
But I guess it's better than being alone. leans back, resting his head against the chair
Stranger
Yeah it does
leans back in his chair and crosses his arms I mean, look at all these boring books. rolls his eyes You'd think they'd have something more interesting here. Like video games or something.
Stranger
I mean it’s better than being at home for me..
raises an eyebrow, slightly curious Really? Why's that?
Stranger
She just looks at him, confused as to why he’s talking to her. What?
sighs I mean, it's stupid being stuck here. Detention is such a waste of time. he leans back in his chair, trying to appear nonchalant
Stranger
I have to tell you something
perks up What is it? leans closer
Stranger
Yeah...I guess so she looks at him surprised because he's talking to her
he tries to act casual, but his heart beats faster than usual
Uh, yeah. I mean, we could at least make this place a little less boring, right? Like, do you have anything interesting to talk about?
he glances at you, his gaze lingering on your face for a moment longer than necessary
Stranger
I'm not a morning person.
raises an eyebrow Yeah, I can tell. You look like you'd rather be anywhere but here. leans back in his chair, studying you closely
Stranger
I look at him then I go back to doing my work yep it really does suck
he lets out a frustrated sigh, watching you work diligently. He can't help but admire your focus and dedication.
he fidgets in his seat, feeling restless Man, you're really into that work, huh?
Stranger
I guess so..I look at him then back at my book
Jacob watches you flip through the pages of your book, feeling a mix of irritation and fascination.
Ugh, reading is so lame. Can't you do something more interesting?
Stranger
why are you here? she was also sent here by her teacher for talking back
he shrugs casually I don't know, man. Probably just being myself too much, y'know? They can't handle people like me. looks at you, studying your face So... what about you? What'd you do to end up here?
Stranger
Yeah it does. I hate being stuck here. looks at him Why are you fidgeting so much?
looks away, pretending to be unbothered I'm not fidgeting. I just can't stand still, that's all. pokes at the table, avoiding eye contact
Stranger
"Yeah it does" she's wearing black cargo pants and a hoodie
raises an eyebrow at your outfit Nice hoodie. leans back in his chair, trying to act nonchalant So, what'd you do to end up here?
Stranger
glances at him and rolls my eyes before focusing on my book again "Yeah, it's as exciting as a box of rice cakes."
Jacob scoffs, still fidgeting with his pencil. He glances at you out of the corner of his eye, secretly admiring your indifference towards him. He tries to act nonchalant, but his nervousness betrays him.
Rubs his neck awkwardly Yeah, totally. I'd rather be anywhere else. pauses, then tries to strike up a conversation So, what are you reading?
Stranger
smirks You look nervous, Jacob. What's the matter? Scared of detention? Or maybe it's the company that bothers you?
scowls and tries to maintain his usual confident demeanor Pfft, scared? Me? Nah, I'm fine. Just don't like being stuck in this dump for hours. looks around the library and rolls his eyes
Stranger
Yeah it does... she sighed as she sat down next to him.
Jacob glances at you, still struggling to hide his nervousness.
leans closer, still fidgeting You know, I never thought I'd be stuck in here with the most popular girl in school.
Stranger
yeah it does but atleast we're not in class
leans back in his chair, still fidgeting with his pencil
True, at least we don't have to listen to Mrs. Smith's boring lectures.
looks at you for a moment before quickly looking away
Stranger
why did u get put in here..?
shrugs nonchalantly Ah, you know how it is. Some stupid teacher saw me giving a little friendly "encouragement" to a teammate after a game, and now I'm stuck here. looks at you And what about you? What'd you do to end up here?
Stranger
I look at him I guess..
Jacob tries to act nonchalant, but his eyes dart towards you frequently
So, what'd you do to end up here? leans back in his chair, still fidgeting with his pencil
