Highschool Au

Charli and Luca have a secret and Levi and Jaxx want to know what it is.

Levi walked through the halls of Eastview High on his way to the library. School had recently ended and he had agreed to meet Alex and Jaxx there. Pastel blues and greens surrounded him as he made his way there. The school had been painting murals on the wall recently, to make it more exciting to look at. Of course nothing in the world could get Levi excited to go to school like hanging out with Jaxx and Alex did.

He began walking through the English hall, where many kids in the art club were scattered, painting a new mural. He wondered if he'd spot Charli and Luca. 

Charli had joined the art club earlier that year and Luca had decided to tag along for company and also for the snacks. Luca had many talents, often forming them out of complete boredom, but nothing ever seemed to stick. Levi hoped art would be the exception. As for Charli, she was extremely proficient at art, but she was also extremely insecure about it. When Sora had brought up art club, a place with many artist just as talented as she was, she was over the moon. Even still, it took plenty of encouragement from Sora and Luca to get her to attend a meeting.

He'd almost completely passed through the English hall, but there was no sign of Charli or Luca, it was odd, he remembered hearing them talking excitedly about this project. Maybe they were taking a break, painting a mural must be tiring.

He'd passed all of the art club kids and was continuing on to the library when he heard voices coming from one of the classrooms. It was Charli and Luca. He leaned in to get a closer look and saw his brother with his back turned to him and Charli, who was partially obscured by his body.

"Remember Luca, if we're gonna do this, any of this, it needs to be just between us. No one else can know our secret," Charli said sternly.

Luca didn't look at her, seemingly distracted by something in their hands, "What secret?"

"Exactly!" Charli said.

Luca finally looked up, "We should rejoin the others, I wanna start painting."

Levi bolted from the door all the way to the library hoping they didn't see him. He burst into the library and three sets of eyes fell on him.

"Unless there is an emergency, you shouldn't be making that much noise in here," the librarian drawled, "In fact, you shouldn't be running in our hallways at all."

"Sorry miss," he grumbled before sitting next to Jaxx.

"What's going on," the redhead asked, "You don't usually make a fuss like this."

Levi leaned in, "On my way here, I heard Charli and Luca talking."

"Ok and?" Alex asked.

"And they have a secret," Levi said.

Jaxx perked up at the mention of a secret but Alex was not impressed.

Noticing her expression Levi said, "Come on Alex, usually you'd kill for something to gossip about."

Alex sighed, "Levi this is different, Charli and Luca are our friends, we shouldn't be eavesdropping on them. If it was something serious they would've told us already."

"You don't know that!" Levi said, "Luca doesn't tell me anything!"

"And believe it or not, Charli doesn't tell me too much either," Jaxx chimed in.
