daniel ended up sprinting to his locker, stuffing odd books into his bag. he wouldn't admit it, but he expected corbyn to be there this morning.
                          
he woke up late due to the absence, proceeding to ransack the rooms of his household in wonder if corbyn was hiding. (completely foolish, really, corbyn hasn't left his room on purpose besides when they enter from the front door.)
                          
the bell would ring any minute now, and daniel was more than likely going to havea short word with the professor. with that mindset, he slowed his actions and ensured he had everything right for the classes today.
                          
on the way to the class, much slower than he had been, a hand clamped onto his shoulder as he was tugged lightly.
                          
"dani!"
                          
who?
                          
his body spun on a heel, turning to find a short fiery-haired female as she gave a pearly smile to him. "hi!"
                          
his eyes squinted for a moment, blinking, "sorry, sorry... rough morning, hi."
                          
jasmine..? or uh, maybe julia?
                          
"oh, yeah." her hand stuck out, taking his from the placement at his side and enforcing a handshake. she was nice, just, a little pushy. "the name's jenna, i don't know if we've spoken much, but we're in the same class."
                          
daniel nodded at that, a blank expression. how is she so energized?
                          
"wanna walk to class together?" her hands clasped, feet raising as her toes held her up. daniel couldn't tell if she was attempting to be flirtatious, but he shrugged with a nod.
                          
"yeah— yeah, sure."
                          
his feet nearly scuffed, walking along calmly next to jenna as she asked him his opinion on an upcoming test. just before they neared ear-shot of the room, she stood in front of him and his head tilted much more to meet her eyes. she's shorter than corbyn.
                          
"just before we go in, i was wondering. you play guitar, right? if you're not busy any day soon could we hang somewhere? i need a little practice on mine..."
                          
daniel thought about it for a moment, there wasn't much clue for the professor's planning of the assignment. it wouldn't be a surprise if she tested string skills.
                          
"okay, yeah. when are you free?"





                          
corbyn nodded, tongue poking from his lips as the two walked into their classroom, conversation flowing easily between them both. i don't like her vibe... but he gets along with her.
                          
to corbyn, she seemed off. guitar wasn't that hard to brush up on, especially since she already knew most of their assessment because she wouldn't shut up about it just seconds before asking. although, it was now agreed that she could arrive at daniel's house in two days time. 
                          
he slumped back into his chair, not wanting to fret as his voice was spread through the top floor. "ash!" he was bored, truly. instead of going down to help daniel with the morning routine he watched the brunet wake up late and tear apart every room in the house looking for something. class was boring to corbyn, as much as he liked music.
                          
"what!?" 
                          
corbyn grinned at the response, pushing the chair back as the view from his desk closed up. his sister appeared in the doorway seconds later. "what's up?"
                          
the blond had his hands clasped in his lap, leaning forward, "are you busy right now?"
                          
ashley shook her head, nibbling at her lip as her phone was tucked into her pocket. 
                          
"you up for a movie marathon?"
                          
her eyes sparked, pointing at him, "you know what to get, i'm raiding the kitchen, meet back in five at my room."
                          
corbyn laughed a little, knowing that they'd done this so often that the setup would take less than five minutes. all that was left was to take his mind off of daniel's whereabouts.
