And her blue-green eyes darted around the space, waving to those who had looked over. "I don't even know why you're so proud to be her favorite, it's not like there's much competition."

Juliette flipped her hair over her shoulder and looked at the dark haired boy before her. "If you were a tree, you'd be a cypress tree," she decided. Though Peter reminded her more of an evergreen tree - he was always there, reliable, sturdy. She tilted her head slightly as she looked him over once more. What was she doing? Was she checking... him... out...? Weird. Weirder still, was he staring at her?

At them mention of her and Sterling dating, her brows rose just as high as his did. "Me and Ster?" Juliette wasn't sure if she was supposed to laugh it off or ask him why. She also wasn't entirely too sure about that pit feeling she had in her stomach when he asked her about it. "Sterling and I are friends, just friends." Even if they flirted with each other constantly. "No, I'm like, super single, party of one, ready to mingle," Juliette rambled, "Not like you, who is so not single and like locked down with that girl, Rosalyn, who's like probably super smart and pr-."

What was she talking about?

"I mean," Juliette cleared her throat with a quiet echem and shifted in her seat a little uncomfortably. "She's cool with us hanging out right?" Last thing she'd want to do is step on her toes and potentially ruin her best friend's happiness.

As he ran his hand through his hair, Juliette noticed his eyes - brown, yes, but filled with warmth... not unlike a cruppy's eyes. "Have you tried like... being a movie star? Maybe you just need a test run in front of the camera?" she offered. Unconsciously, she found herself reaching over and brushing a hair that had fallen out of place when he had ran his hand through it earlier, before sitting back down. "I've so been avoiding them too. They're so nauseating." And Juliette matched his eye roll with one of her own's. "They're so going to move in together once she graduates."
He wasn’t entirely sure what drove the groan from his best friend because all he had done was speak the truth. He assumed that SHE was just jealous. He raised an eyebrow when she mentioned that he was embarrassing all of us. “All of us? But its just you and me here, Juli...” He then offered her a wink and chuckled before fixing the collared shirt he had on. Yes, he flipped his collar to be cooler. “I don’t know why either.” Signature Malfoy smirk on a Stonem looking boy was... weird.

A cypress? Why a cypress? I thought I’d be evergreen.” Cause you know Slytherin, reliable, patient, literally putting up with all of Juli and Evie;’s craziness during childhood and teenage hood. He should have been known as St. Peter for everything that he had to help the two of them with. Fortunately for Juli, Peter was oblivious to her checking him out. He did wonder why she was looking so much at him. Did he have something on his face? He reached up to his cheek and casually brushed his fingers against it. Nope. No tomato sauce. Thank MERLIN. HE would have been mortified if there was a dash of sauce leftover from the sausage rolls her had for lunch.

His eyebrows remained raised to mirror her brows raising at the Sterling question. “Absolutely. You both are practically falling over each other. Frankly annoying at times,” he muttered with a huff. He tilted his head to the side as she made it very, very clear that Sterling and her were not an item and that she was super single. “Are you interested in anyone?” He was about to open his mouth when she mentioned the dreaded, imaginary girlfriend. He flushed momentarily but then realized that Juliette was back-tracking.

WOAH.

This was a new side of his best friend.

She was always right or at least presumed right in his mind but to see her so awkward was rather endearing. Heh. He paused, debating his next words. “Y’know.. She’d be cool with it but..” He paused because he got distracted by her touching her long beautiful hair. Juliette had always had such beautiful hair and all he could do was stare and admire it. “I.... I... I don’t think she and I are going to work out. I have feelings for someone else.


And then she touched him. Well. Moved the stranded curl that had gone askew. But.... what was the question she had asked? He simply went ‘Uh-huh” as the answer to her next few questions because he was caught up in her and the way the sun reflected off her hair and the way she... Huh? What was the eye roll for?

Oh yeah. Evie.

He gave another eye roll. “Y’know I wish she was dating Denver. I never thought i would say that but I think Denver and Evie would be less sickening. Is it too late to separate the two of them and make them more miserable?

At least Denver was nice to him. In some odd way.
