[color=8dcdc1]“We’re gonna be late.”[/color]

[color=dc143c]“We ain’t gonna be late, calm your fuckin’ tits-”[/color]

[color=009e60]“You’re the only one that cares if we’re late anyway-”[/color]

[color=ff7f50]“I care!”[/color]

[color=009e60]“...I stand corrected.”[/color]

The daily morning banter between the four teens on the two motorcycles rang through all of their headsets with minimal crackling and interference as they sped down the highway, filtering between cars and taking off like a shot as soon as there was empty road ahead. Monarch, who was vindicated in her worry by little Danny Boaz, gripped tighter around Sin’s middle in victory since the other girl couldn’t see her grin. When it came to the four transfers from Gravette, Oregon, if Danny put his foot down about something they very easily listened, so having him in your corner basically gave you a win in whatever argument was taking place. Decky sped up while grumbling incoherently into the headset, creating a gap between the two bikes, and Sin very easily picked up speed to catch up, the two of them once again weaving in and out of traffic like a synchronized dance. 

They pulled off the freeway and up to a stoplight, the two operating the bikes taking the brief reprieve to shake out their hands and crack their fingers before the light turned green and they were off again, taking a right onto the main road to the school.

[color=8dcdc1]“Don’t forget I’m helping the Homecoming committee break down everything from the rally after school, so I won’t be meetin’ up with y’all,”[/color] Monarch reminded as they pulled into the parking spot they used for both bikes, waiting until Sin gave the nod to hop off of the back and remove her helmet. She quickly got to work unclasping and removing her [url=https://www.hairglove.com/cdn/shop/products/38050_360x.jpg?v=1629136719]ponytail wrap[/url] and letting her braids fall loose around her jacketed shoulders. Beneath the leather jacket that she removed next was her [url=https://www.instagram.com/kaciwalfall/p/CyHV9t0rt58/?img_index=1]outfit[/url] for today’s theme, a lacy red mini tank with a sash tying it off at her waist above low rise black jeans. Not her usual style for school, but she was feeling a little extra playful today and her older sister Empress wouldn’t stop hyping her up after barging into her room this morning, so today it was less comfy cardigans and more what she tends to wear when going out. 

Little Danny bounded over to her from where he’d just hopped off the back of his older brother’s bike, and with a soft smile she dutifully helped him undo his helmet clasp and took the protection off of him, tossing it it to Decky who had only just looked over. Monarch tousled Danny’s curls to help him bring back some of their volume after being crushed by the helmet while the older boy fumbled with the sudden object in his grasp before he finally got his grip on it, causing his friends and little brother to laugh at his plight. Decky locked their helmets onto his bike and then the Boaz brothers unzipped their jackets at the same time to reveal a matching colored collared button up for the older and a basic sweater over his button up for the younger, but Monarch had to at least give them credit for joining in on spirit week at all. 

[color=009e60]“I can stick behind if you need,”[/color] Sin offered the other girl, shaking out her own hair and grabbing Monarch’s helmet off of her. When they were also secured, Sin took her own jacket off to reveal that she’d leaned almost entirely towards the black end of the theme, with nothing but a bit of her red bra strap peeking out from under the plain black tank to show she was playing along. [color=009e60]“I got nothin’ else to do today aside from homework.”[/color]

[color=8dcdc1]“If you're gonna wait around then you might as well help, Sin,”[/color] Monarch countered with her hands on her hips. [color=8dcdc1]“More hands make for less work.”[/color]

[color=dc143c]“Yeah, Sin,”[/color] Decky mocked. [color=dc143c]“Put that free time ta good use.”[/color]

[color=8dcdc1]“And why can't you help too?”[/color] Monarch asked, turning to him with a raised eyebrow. [color=8dcdc1]“You love demolishin’ things. Use your passion to help your school.”[/color]

[color=dc143c]“The fuck would I do that for? Destroyin’ shit and breakin’ down props for a school function are nowhere near the same thing and ya know it, don't try and guilt me,”[/color] the older boy responded immediately, rolling his eyes. Monarch liked to try every now and then to get her friends involved in the school, but now that they were seniors it's become more of a teasing point between them all than her thinking she could actually convince them. [color=dc143c]“I got [i]work[/i] after school, and I got Danny ridin’ back with me anyway so it wouldn't make no damn sense for me ta stay.”[/color]

[color=8dcdc1]“Fine,”[/color] Monarch huffed good naturedly. [color=8dcdc1]“Have your logic and reasons.”[/color]

[color=dc143c]“I will, thanks.”[/color]

[color=009e60]“So…am I stayin’ after or no?”[/color] Sin asked when they’d finished, still having not gotten a straight answer.

[color=8dcdc1]“Are you gonna help break down?”[/color]

[color=009e60]“Are you gonna do my science homework for me to make up for the lost time?”[/color]

[color=8dcdc1]“No.”[/color]

[color=009e60]“Then you’ve got your answer too baby girl,”[/color] Sin answered, throwing her arm around Monarch’s shoulders at the same time Decky took Danny under his own. [color=009e60]“You can text me and I’ll come back for you, though,"[/color] Monarch rolled her eyes and adjusted her glasses on her face, not surprised Sin would choose multiple trips over doing things for the school for free. [color=009e60]"Anyway let’s go, I wanna smoke before homeroom and we’re quickly runnin’ outta time. Decky gimme a- hey!”[/color] She turned her gaze from the shorter girl to the boys, but they were already halfway across the parking lot with Decky’s middle finger raised high in response to her call. Danny was desperately trying to pull his older brother’s arm down and out of sight, but the younger boy was failing miserably while his brother continued to wave goodbye with a single fingered salute. [color=009e60]“Jackass! I was gonna steal a blunt!”[/color]

[color=dc143c]“I know, that’s why I left!”[/color] Decky called back over his shoulder, finally dropping his arm while he and Danny made their way to the front of the school. While the girls were going to be heading to the back before homeroom, Decky’s focus was on getting his little brother to his homeroom first. 

[color=ff7f50]“I can walk myself if ya wanna go with ‘em, Decky,”[/color] Danny assured as they reached the front doors, head craning to follow the girls’ quick path towards the back before his view was cut off by the building. [color=ff7f50]“Ya don’t really gotta protect me in the halls-”[/color] Decky pulled his little brother in closer to him seconds before the smaller boy was almost elbowed in the face by a taller kid throwing his backpack over his shoulder, and simply looked down at Danny with a raised eyebrow. [color=ff7f50]“Well that wasn’t fair, I was distracted.”[/color]

[color=dc143c]“You’re always distracted, kiddo,”[/color] The older boy responded, ruffling his little brother’s hair with the same hand as the arm around his shoulder. Danny hadn’t mentioned anything about walking himself to class before, so Decky was curious as to the reason. [color=dc143c]“What’s this all the sudden? Are ya embarrassed that I walk ya ta class?”[/color]

[color=ff7f50]“No! ‘Course not, it’s just that ya didn’t even get ta smoke or [i]anythin’[/i] this mornin’ an-”[/color]

[color=dc143c]“Hey, I’m fine,”[/color] Decky cut in, looking around at the faces they passed to make sure they were still in their own little bubbles. Decky’s habits were no secret in these halls, but he didn’t need the school’s eyes and ears latching on to anything his brother said and skewing it for the sake of the rumor mill. Compared to before they moved out to BH, Decky was practically sober. During school hours, at least…when it came to the harder shit, at least. Look. He was better, ok? [color=dc143c]“If I need ta chill I’ll just slide outta class for a minute. Don’t go worryin’ ‘bout shit like that, it ain’t your problem.”[/color]

[color=ff7f50]“...Okay, sorry,”[/color] Danny responded as they came up to his homeroom.

[color=dc143c]“And stop apologizin’ for carin’,”[/color] He added with a soft smile at his little brother as he gave him a light shove towards the doorway. With a responding grin and an enthusiastic wave, little Danny disappeared inside and Decky turned on his heel to head to his own homeroom, already planning his first chance to slip out for as long as he could get away with.[/indent][/indent][/color]
