The next morning I quickly got dressed and ran downstairs to get on my laptop and grind for Trove. Not only did I need half of Sara and I's stuff but I also needed stuff for Skylar.

Turning on the laptop, discord was still open from yesterday. Sara appeared as online but u didn't think much of it until she messaged me.

Saratone:
I was gonna get on Trove, if you wanted to join me you can

Mega Nutella:
Sure! I had the same idea. Voice?

Saratone:
Sure!

We played Trove till I had to go since Sara is driven to school. We managed to get one rampage event in the time to get sentience shards and egg fragments.

I texted Sara on the bus ride but once Skylar got on her questions got annoying.

She asked things like would you actually date a girl? What's it like to fall for a girl? How do weddings work? Aren't you scared of getting stared at? It's not HER life and she shouldn't worry about it.

Once at school, Skylar and I walked together to the band room to put our saxophones away. "What even are the odds, that we run into like Owen or somebody?" Skylar laughed, but I could tell it was fake. "Yeah, running into Sara would be nice..." I replied, walking over to my band locker. "Why does your life revolve around Sara?" Vivian asked. Our lockers were a fair distance apart so she had to speak up in order for me to hear her. "My life doesn't revolve around her." I fought back my anger. "Ooooh Megan look! Owen and Arjay!" Vivian squealed, gripping onto my arm. "Hiya Arjay! And Owen!" Skylar smiled and greeted them with excitement. "Oh, hey Skylar." Arjay waved and walked away to put his clarinet away while Owen put away his saxophone. Skylar let go of my arm and stood by Owen while he put away his stuff. I started to walk out when Sara walked in with her bestie, Vivian. Vivian played trumpet so she could bring her instrument home unlike Sara who played baritone and had an at home baritone. Sara said something to Vivian, then walked over to me. "Hi Megan." Sara smiled. "Oh hey Sara! So I worked a bit this morning and got some memory matrix for you." Sara and I walked out of the band room. Looking back, I saw Skylar standing with Arjay and Owen. "Hey Sara wait up!" Vivian shouted across the room as she ran over to us.

Vivian, Sara and I walked to each other's lockers and dropped our stuff off at our first periods and walked around the halls. We chatted about Trove ideas and the cell models. "Yeah our plant model isn't the best at the moment, wish we had more time to work.." Vivian commented. Sara and I looked at each other in disbelief. "Plant cell...?" Sara questioned. "Yeah, you had to make an animal and plant cell." Vivian explained. "Sh*t..." I cursed under my breath.

Walking into science the dreaded plant cell memory came right back. I took my seat next to Sara. "Hey uh Hunter, you're aware we have another cell to make right?" I said as Hunter brought the animal cell over. "We do?" Hunter looked as confused as I did. "Yeah..." Sara continued. "Hey Rylan, can we use those cubes?" Sara asked the kid at the table to the top right of us, Rylan, and pointed at the two styrofoam cubes on the desk. "Oh, sure." Rylan tossed Sara and I the cubes. "Hunter you finish the animal cell and make labels for the plant one while Megan and I work on the plant one." Sara instructed.

Five minutes left of class and our plant cell was HORRIBLE! The duct take around it was sloppy along with the plastic wrap. The nucleus and other things on the plant cell were different from the ones on the animal cell. It was a huge MESS. "So how's the plant ce--." Hunter looked at Sara and I's work in horror. Sara and I gave a nervous smile to him. "Well, let's see how this does huh?" Hunter facepalmed at my sentence. "Okay everyone, set your cells on the back counter and start stacking chairs!" Mrs Oxner announced as everyone started shuffling around.

"So what grade you think we'll get?" I asked Sara as we walked to the band room. "An F minus." Sara replied as we walked downstairs to Vivian's locker. "Our plant cell is a mess Vivian! It's horrible looking!" I ran up to Vivian as Sara giggled and followed behind. "Sure is true." Sara smiled. "Why?" Vivian asked, closing her locker door and putting the lock back on. "I'll show you tomorrow." Sara said as we all walked to the band room.

Vivian went to get her trumpet from the back wall while Sara and I went to get my saxophone from the upper corner. I looked over to my right and guess who walked in? Skylar of course! "Ooooh Megan!" Skylar ran over to me and hugged me tight. In the hug, she pulled me away from Sara and more twords her locker. I gave Sara a I don't know what's happening look and she just laughed slightly. "What are you doing around her..?" Skylar whispered in my ear before letting me go. "What's wrong with her?" I asked in a hushed tone so Sara wouldn't hear. "What's so wrong with Owe-- Oh Owen!" Skylar didn't finish her sentence before she ran beside Owen who just walked into the band room. "Here could you like move please, thank you." Skylar ushered Sara to the side. Owen's locker was right under mine.

Owen and Skylar walked out together as Vivian came over to Sara and I. "We all ready?" She asked. I closed my locker door with my saxophone and book in hand. "Yup." Sara said for me as we all walked out. "Does Vivian have discord?" I asked Sara. "Yeah I'll make us a group chat later and I'll invite her." Sara replied. "I found a good way to farm the feathers." I whisper to Sara. "Onbari adventures it is." Sara replied with a slight smile.
