the kids aren't alright

“I wanna destroy our friendship… Let’s play Monopoly.”

“Right but here’s the thing: we aren’t friends.”

“That I actually like? Does sex ed count?” She smirked, looking over to him and giving him a wink. 

“Oh yeah, definitely.” Jax smirked, “Learning about chlamydia? Soooo sexy.” 

It’s probably the only thing I can remember from history. 

“Not to mention model student.” Jax quipped, “Are there any classes you actually like? And no, free periods don’t count”

“You’re such a saint.” She sarcastically commented before pulling her backpack onto her lap and got her mason jar out and loaded a bowl before she took a hit off her pipe then passed it to the driver. “Don’t let us die today, Jax. I got shit to do later.” 

“C’mon, Ellie, you don’t trust me? Besides, hell isn’t expecting me this early anyway.” Jax laughed before taking a hit from the pipe when they pulled to stop sign. “See, we’re perfectly alive unless we died in a freak car accident and if so, the afterlife kinda sucks.”

“When you decided to be my friend, silly.” She leaned back into her chair, putting on her seat belt. “I feel like this isn’t even a question but do you wanna hot box on the way there?”

“It really isn’t even a question, I would be offended about you even considering that I’d turn that down but you’ve got free drugs so I’ll find it in my heart to forgive you.”

“Lets agree to disagree, yeah?” She replied before she rolled her eyes. “You missed that chance a long time ago, buddy.” She laughed as she got into his car. His warning was like basically telling her to touch it. So staring him in the eyes, her hand grazed over the radio, though it didn’t press any buttons, she just touched it cause he told her not to. 

Jax glanced at her fingers skirting across the radio with an exaggerated sigh, “When did I become the mature one?” he asked, stifling a smirk, as he pulled out of the parking lot.

“Oh I’m looking forward to hitting menopause, no more penguin plus you get discounts on like everything.” Nodding quietly gasping at the air to try and steady himself. “Yeah that’s probably a good idea.”

"Not to mention, old people get away with saying anything.” He added, “Then again there's also some huge cons -- death being in the top 10.” he shrugged as he walked to his car.

“Never ending pizza? Damn, as if America isn’t over weight enough.” She joked before nodding. “Yes, Jax that’s all I use you for. What can I say? Your dick game is just too strong.” She winked at him before laughing as she left the building and found her way to his car. 

“You say that now, but you’ll be praising me when you get the munchies.” Jax shot back. “Hey, you mind repeating that so I can record it? I want to make that my new ringtone.” He grinned as he unlocked his car, opening the drivers side and glancing at her before getting in. “And since I’m your driver for the day, don’t even think about touching that radio.” he warned her.

My lava lamp just broke and the liquid shit and wax has just gone everywhere. Shit. I need to get it all cleaned up in like around 3 hours. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

How the hell did you manage that? And be as descriptive as possible because I know for a fact this is gonna be funny.

“I hide my emotions very well.”

“Right. Well, as exciting as this conversation is is I’ve got to do... Huh, let’s go with homework.”

“Oh good, I mean by the year 2060 I’ll be like sixty six and probably unable to walk by then anyways.” Taking the other’s hand he hoisted himself to his feet taking a shaky step. “Woah, spinning.” 

Jax cringed at the thought of being, well, old. “Nah, I doubt you’d be unable, just slow as fuck. Are there any actual upsides to getting old? Besides the obvious ones like taking out your teeth to freak kids out.” He wondered aloud, glancing over at the boy. “You need a ride home?” he offered.
