Thread: Seven Minutes in Heaven (Niah & Zeeman)

A huge wave of relief washed over Jess as Eric agreed to help her. Thank you she said earnestly. To be honest part of her had been expecting him to say no. Luckily it seemed that not all of the popular crowd were determined to torture her tonight. She was kind of surprised that he knew her name. Jess was convinced that she was pretty much a nobody to most people. Uh, yeah that's right. Eric, you're like right next to me in maths. She replied with a weak smile and a few awkward nods. She took a step back and watched as Eric seemed to open the door effortlessly. The fact that it was so easy for him made her feel even more like an idiot. As if she had been lying or something just to get his attention. Jess shook herself mentally, trying not to feel too foolish. I mean of course it would be easier for him, he was bigger, stronger and taller than her, simple as. Kate came bounding out, thank God I'm ou... The female suddenly went very quiet when she realized who had opened the door for her. Like most girls, Kate became a little giddy at the sight of Eric and soon forgot how to speak. They both listened as he made a joke about getting revenge on the popular girls. Bitches is an understatement Jess added a little bitterly. She wasn't often outspoken, but this kind of crap had been going on pretty much since the beginning of junior high. At the blackmail part, Kate laughed out loud, a bit too enthusiastically. Causing Jess to giggle slightly, which she tried to hide by placing her hand over her mouth. Thanks again, if we ever need more devious ways to plot revenge, I know where to go. Jess replied with a smile before waving goodbye as Eric walked away. If we ever need more devious ways of plotting revenge? What was that all about? Kate asked with a giggle. I don't know, it kind of just came out. I was trying to sound funny. Jess replied. Yeah, real smooth. Kate continued to laugh. Well it was more smooth than your walrus laugh, that was beyond scary. Jess replied. Kate hit her playfully before looking towards the room that Eric had gone into. Wanna go see what they're doing? Kate asked with a smile. No, no, no, no, no... Jess began to protest. Oh come on, it'll be fun! Kate replied. You know you keep saying that and things just never turn out that fun. Jess retorted. Before she could stop her, Kate bounded over to the door and wormed her way inside. Two people then exited and Jess had no choice but to follow. Luckily Kate hadn't gone too far inside, so Jess grabbed her hand and tried to pull her back out of the room. You two coming in? Someone called. No, no... we we're just leaving. Jess replied, tugging on her friend's hand. There were a group of people sat on the floor in a circle and an empty bottle in the middle of them. Jess didn't recognize all of the people, but she was pretty sure one of them was that new girl 'Darla' or something like that. Let's play spin the bottle! Kate whispered excitedly to Jess. No, lets go! Jessica tried to urge her friend. Hey sit down, two people just left anyway so you might as well take their place. Another person said to them. Jess was about to say no again, when Kate suddenly scrambled to the floor and sat down in the circle. What was Jess supposed to do? She couldn't just leave Kate alone! Whilst internally plotting the death of her best friend, Jessica skulked over and also sat down.
