[sub]Location: Homeroom
Collab: Josie [@Kitty] and Savvy [@melissahart]
Mentioned: Trev [@Silent Observer][/sub][/center][hr][hr]The dance party ended leaving Josie without the ability to dance without possibly upsetting Mrs. Winship again. That meant she needed to find another way to occupy her time and it just so happened to be that her favorite redhead was sitting not too far away writing. Picking up her stuff Josephine made her way over to the table Savannah was at, setting her backpack on the floor and turning a chair around before sitting down and crossing her arms over the back of the chair, resting her chin on her arms. 

[color=blueviolet][b]“Hey girl!”[/b][/color] She exclaimed looking to her best friend with a smile, [color=blueviolet][b]“How’s my favorite redhead?”[/b][/color] The two hadn’t seen each other since the party but Josie had texted her and told her she needed all the deets about what happened between her and Trev after Riley had announced she was just Trevor’s type at the party. Which reminded her that she’d need to bother Trevor about the same topic later, but for now her focus was getting all the information she could from her bestie.

Sav had been sitting in the same position for the majority of the period, writing down everything she could possibly think of in her notebook for her next feature in the paper. Things were either written legibly, crossed out aggressively, or written in penmanship so messy that the mere sight of it would make her mother cry. When Sav wrote, everything else seemed to fade away, leaving just her, the pen and the paper. She was [i]so[/i] engrossed in her words that she didn’t notice when her best friend sat down in the chair across the table, her face nearly inches away from hers. It wasn’t until she spoke that Savvy jumped, nearly flying from her seat and onto the tile floor. The redhead laughed, gaining her composure once more. [color=DC143C][b]“Oh hey, Josie, didn’t see you there! I was just trying to pull together some ideas for the newspaper meeting later today.”[/b][/color] Savvy smiled, closing her notebook and placing her pen gingerly on top. [color=DC143C][b]“What’s up?”[/b][/color]

[color=blueviolet][b]“Well I came to see how you were, but now I’m more interested in what’s going on in that head of yours since you were so engrossed in writing. Might you have actually been writing about a certain boy?”[/b][/color] Josie wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at her friend with a wide grin etched on her face. She leaned in and nudged the redhead with her elbow gently. [color=blueviolet][b]“Come on. It’s time to spill. I’ve had to wait too many days for all the deets on what happened at the party.”[/b][/color]

Savvy blushed a deep shade of crimson, looking down sheepishly at her notebook. [color=DC143C][b]“It’s nothing really…”[/b][/color] She replied, brushing some of the hair that had fallen into her face back behind her ear. But it was far from nothing. If she was being honest with herself, what had happened at the party had been replaying in her head over and over since it occurred. It certainly [i]wasn’t[/i] nothing. [color=DC143C][b]“He talked to me, Josie, he actually talked to me. He even knew my name!”[/b][/color]

The grin faded into a simple smile as she watched and listened to her friend. Oh how little her friend knew about just how much she was noticed. Savvy was one of Josie’s few girl friends so she was around guys a lot, especially in the JROTC, and she knew Savannah was being noticed by them. Hell, she’d already threatened an idiot freshman for speaking not so innocently about the red head. But Trevor was different, Trevor was definitely one of the nicest guys at the school and she could see Sav and him working well together.

[color=blueviolet][b]“Of course he did Sav. Who doesn’t know your name by now? He’d be a fool to not talk to you and even more of one to not know your name.”[/b][/color] Josie’s voice grew softer as she got a bit closer, [color=blueviolet][b]“Now what did you two talk about. Don’t leave me hanging girl.”[/b][/color]

[color=DC143C][b]“You say that, but somehow I don’t believe it. I’m just the new girl from Texas; small fish, big pond. How could everyone know my name?”[/b][/color] Sav replied, having a hard time finding truth in her best friend’s words. Switching to the next subject, the redhead couldn’t help but grin, [color=DC143C][b]“He was so genuine. We talked about food, favorite drinks, and we talked about football and the new season- he said I should totally come to the games and he’d really like it if I did.”[/b][/color] Sav smirked at the memory of the night’s events.

She opened back up her notebook, leafing through it to find the page she had been writing on, which was chock full of ideas about a possible feature on the football team. [color=DC143C][b]“I figured if I went to their first practice today, I could write a big article about the upcoming season, but I don’t even know what I’d say to Trevor if I went. I feel like complete gibberish would come out of my mouth if he looked in my direction or said anything to me. Not that he will.”[/b][/color]

[color=blueviolet][b]“Well you know I’ll go with you if you want me to, of course when I don’t have work. Plus you’d get to see him more and he’d see you more, which is what I think he wants Sav. It sure seems that way.”[/b][/color] Josie grew silent and watched as her best friend began to flip through her notebook then talk about her article idea. This brought a bigger smile to her face, her friend was seriously too sweet and innocent. These two definitely were made for each other though, Josie was going to help her two friends. It was decided.

[color=blueviolet][b]“First of all he will look in your direction. Second of all, he will speak to you. Third of all, you are going to the practice even if I have to carry you there. Why not make a list of questions to ask so you always have something to say during the supposed interview about football. Then once you’ve become more comfortable you can just begin to talk to him normally. If you want I can go with you and be there in the background as support.”[/b][/color]

Savvy’s eyes lit up when Josie mentioned a list of questions. A laugh escaped from her lips as she realized her own stupidity. After all, she was a writer, and questions were all she needed to piece together an interview. [color=DC143C][b]“Why didn’t I think of that?”[/b][/color] She scoffed to herself, a little stunned that her daydreaming had removed all common sense from her brain. Flipping to a fresh page, she wrote down the first few questions that came to her mind. It wasn’t until Josie mentioned she’d accompany her to the practice that Savvy sighed in relief.  [color=DC143C][b]“That would be so amazing. You’d really do that for me?”[/b][/color] Sav asked, a little stunned that her friend would take time out of her busy schedule just to make sure she didn’t make an absolute fool of herself. [i]That[/i] was true friendship right there.

[color=blueviolet][b]“Of course I would Sav. You’re my best friend, so why wouldn’t I do it. I’m sure the girls would love not having dance practice after school anyways, I sure would…. I’m not done with the new routine yet. So really you’d be doing me a big favor by letting me come with you.”[/b][/color] Josie spoke a bit sheepishly, she was supposed to finish the routine by today but she had a few more formation to finish and was currently procrastinating. Although she’d still help her friend even if she had practice. In her mind, friends always came first.

[color=DC143C][b]“You’re the best, Josie.”[/b][/color] Sav reached across the table taking her best friends hand in hers, genuinely appreciating the gesture. [color=DC143C][b]“So I guess I’m doing this. I have no way to get out of it, do I?”[/b][/color] Although she pretended to want to escape from the situation, Savvy couldn’t help but feel giddy at the thought of talking to Trevor later today. But what would he say? Would he actually want to talk to her? [color=DC143C][b]“Are you sure this is a good idea? He may not even remember what happened at the party, we were drinking after all.”[/b][/color]

Squeezing her friend’s hand reassuringly Josie shook her head. [color=blueviolet][b]“Nope. You are doing this. No ifs, ands, or buts. I will carry you there if needed.”[/b][/color] Listening to her friend ramble out her worries she rolled her eyes at the Sav playfully, [color=blueviolet][b]“Darling, this is a great idea. He is definitely going to remember you and what happened at the party. If he doesn’t I can also hit him in the head for some mental recallibration.”[/b][/color] Josephine grinned at her own joke while looking at Savannah, the two were opposites in quite a few ways but that’s what makes them so perfect as best friends.

[color=DC143C][b]“Okay, fine, I’ll do it. But make sure you’re ready to smack him on the head if I walk up to him and he looks at me like I have five heads.”[/b][/color] The redhead giggled, pulling her hand away from Josie’s to grab her pen in order to put it to the paper, beginning to think of some more questions in order to not look like an idiot. [color=DC143C][b]“You’re so good at talking to guys, how do you do it?”[/b][/color]

[color=blueviolet][b]“I highly doubt he’ll look at you like you have five heads if anything he’ll see you and faint from your beauty.”[/b][/color] Josie feigned fainting, putting her hand to her forehead and leaning back in her chair. [color=blueviolet][b]“Too much beauty! I can’t handle it!”[/b][/color] She exclaimed before letting out a giggle, covering her mouth as she did so. 


Leaning back forward she rested her head back on her arms staring at her best friend before letting out a noise that was mix between a ‘tsk’ and a laugh at Sav’s question. [color=blueviolet][b]“See I’d say confidence was key but if a guy ever talked to me and showed the interest in me like Trevor is with you... I would probably lose my voice and panic. I’m only good at talking to guys cause they all just kind of see me as a ‘bro’, as they put it. It doesn’t help that my dad scared away the first guy who ever gave me a chance freshman year and now my father’s reputation precedes me, I won’t lie though. He is a scary man so I don’t really blame guys for being scared of him.”[/b][/color] Josie shrugged, [color=blueviolet][b]“That doesn’t matter though, our focus needs to be you and Trev. I expect to be godmother to the beautiful redheaded babies.”[/b][/color]

Sav laughed out loud at Josie’s fainting act, so loud that some of her peers looked over in confusion. She calmed herself down, a few giggles remaining, with a smile spread across her face. [color=DC143C][b]”You are by far the most confident person I know and you seriously don’t give yourself enough credit for it. I hear what the guys say about you, they think you’re a catch and I bet you could have your pick of the bunch if you wanted.”[/b][/color] Sav sighed, knowing that Josie’s good looks and confidence were a winning pair. In regards to the godmother comment, the redhead shushed her best friend, raising an eyebrow at her remarks. [color=DC143C][b]”Let’s not count our chickens before they hatch, please. That’s a little too far into the future to discuss, so let’s just focus on this afternoon before we get ahead of ourselves.”[/b][/color]

Simply ignoring her friend’s comment on what guys thought of her, as she didn’t believe it was true, Josie smirked. [color=blueviolet][b]“I’m simply speaking in regards to the inevitable. Adorable red haired babies plus alot of what goes into making said babies.”[/b][/color] She teased winking at Savannah. [color=blueviolet][b]“But for now we can focus on this afternoon. One of your questions should be asking him to the movie showing this Friday, it would be great seeing you catch him off guard plus adorable with both of you turning as red as your hair.”[/b][/color]

The redhead’s eyes widened in a slight panic. [color=DC143C][b]“No, no, [i]no[/i] I couldn’t ask him to go on Friday. Not only would that catch him off guard, that would catch [i]me[/i] off guard.”[/b][/color] Sav replied anxiously, fiddling with her pen. [color=DC143C][b]“The entire school is going to be there and I doubt he would want to go with [i]me[/i] instead of his friends. Besides, I thought that you and I were going to go together? I can’t just ditch you like that.”[/b][/color]

This time it was Josie’s turn to grab her friend’s hand.  [color=blueviolet][b]“Look Sav, darling. He’d be lucky to get the chance to go with you, it would be a great time for you two to get to know each other better. In regards to us going together, I would be fine with getting ditched this time. Hell, I am encouraging you to ditch me for this boy, girl! I can always find someone else to go with like one of the dance girls or I’m sure Audrey would love to have me pick up an extra shift. Or I could do the stupid military workout with my dad like he’s been trying to get me to do with him forever, probably not… I don’t really feel like hanging around with a bunch of men my dad’s age…”[/b][/color] She shrugged before squeezing Savannah’s hand.  [color=blueviolet][b]“What I’m trying to say is I will be fine and that if you don’t go with him I will force you to go together by tying you both together. The JROTC has made me very efficient with rope tying skills.[/b][/color]

Sav tried to think of a good excuse to convince Josie that this was [i]far[/i] from a good idea, but no thoughts seemed to come to her mind. The worst part was that she knew Josie wasn’t kidding about tying them together part, and this wouldn’t be the sexy 50 Shades of Grey type of rope tying either. There was no escape. 

Desperately trying to think of something, she began to speak- more like stammer- but luckily, a loud noise rang through the classroom and a smirk popped onto Sav’s face. [color=DC143C][i]Saved by the bell…[/i][/color] Packing up her journal and pen and quickly zipping her backpack shut, she smiled at her friend. [color=DC143C][b]“We can talk about it more later, but I’m really hesitant about this. If only I could know what he was thinking… Anyway, I’ll see you at lunch?”[/b][/color]

[color=blueviolet][b]“Of course, lunch sucks if we don’t sit with each other… just the memory of the day you were gone gives me chills..”[/b][/color] Josie shook slightly a sound of a shaky breath to make it seem like she got cold all of sudden escaping her lips. [color=blueviolet][b]“See ya then girl!”[/b][/color] She waved goodbye to her friend before looking for her next target… Trevor.
