Declan
[@FantasyChic]

Declan sat in the quad area of his school as the hustle of usual lunch rush went about around him. It had been a long weekend. 5 days since he'd really seen anyone except his cousin, Miranda and Olivia. He stayed away from everyone else, though. Part of him worried if that'd make his case any more difficult to prove his innocence, or if staying away might help clear the heads of the confused.

He grit his teeth and growled softly to himself, pulling out the phone his cousin had so graciously gifted him. Of course, on the condition he wouldnt be doing any more stupid shit to get it broken. Pulling up Finley's number, he decided it was past time to talk to her about all this on a real level. Sighing heavily, he typed out a quick text to his friend, as well as his cousin.

** To Huckleberry:
Hey, what are you doing later? I can skip Lacrosse today..we need to talk.**


** To Taylor:
Hey, think you could save me from school, today? I need to get out of this place.**

It wasn't long before he got a response from Taylor. She was working, and wasn't able to drive to get him but could call the office and let them know he needed out early. He half-smiled and replied with a 'thank you Cruz' before pocketing his phone again. all the different food smells were getting to Declan, now. His stomach grumbled, but he ignored it and told himself, [b]"Screw the school food. Just wait another hour and we can drop by the cafe for a patty melt."[/b]
