"sowwy"

Ellie watched the girls talking, I recommend a room ready on her lips.

Michael groaned back to consciousness again. "Huh? What? Whazgoinon?" The caffeine had failed to keep him from falling asleep again

(I've returned)
Asura rolled his eyes at the two, leaning back. "It's okay, Charlie. I was pretty late too, don't even worry about it."

"You fell asleep." Cam told Michael, walking up to him with the bag of pretzels. He pointed to the hoodie pocket again. "What's in the pocket."

"O-okay…" Charlie cursed herself again. She needed to fix that stutter, especially if she was supposed to be the SQUIP.

He blinked in confusion. "What?" Then his pocket moved. "Oh, uh, c'mere a sec." He faced away from the others before pulling his snake part way out of his pocket

"What the hell?!" Cam exclaimed before dropping his voice to a whisper. "You brought a snake to school?"

Asura looked over, seeing Michael turned away with his hands doing… something? "Stop fiddling with your dick, Michael," he said, looking back down at his script.

Charlie quickly turned her head away from Michael, hoping he wasn't actually doing that during play rehearsal of all times.

Michael panicked a little. "I didn't mean to! He likes to hitchhike in my bag and I thought his cage was closed but I guess not and now I think I'm gonna have to take him home during the break."

"Wait…." Charlie turned back warily, "Is, is that… a-an actual snake?" curiously she approached him.

(I'm not lol) Michael's head whipped around to look at Asura. "Crap, crap, I don't wanna scare anyone on accident again and if any of the school staff sees him, I'm screwed!"

"Then maybe you shouldn't have brought a snake to a damn school."

Cam smiled. "Can I pet it?"

"Uh…Sure, I guess. I mean I might as well take him out now." He pulled a dull brown ball python out of his hoodie pocket and let the snake wrap around his arm. "He's not mean, I promise."

"Awww" Charlie sqealed in delight "It's so cute"

He reached out and pet the snake's body. "Cool. I'm gonna go wash my hands before I finish these pretzels…" Cam jumped off the stage and made his way to the bathroom.

"I just hope no one here really doesn't like them, otherwise I'm totally suspended."

"So c-cute~" Charlie cooed gently at the snake before scuttling off and realizing that she was being weird.

"Dude it's cool, you can pet him. He's just an adorable, fat noodle."

A few minutes later Cam came back from the bathroom, still eat pretzels.

"Yay…~" Charlie carefully picked up the snake "snoodle…" she whispered as she started petting the snake.

Michael smiled at the snake. He booped its little mouth before going into his backpack to find another coffee

He sat back down in the front row, putting his snack away. Cam took his script from the stage and started reading again.

Michael let out an exaggerated groan. "Ugggh, coffeeee, why have you abandoned me?" He pulled his cruiser board out from its slot in his backpack. "I'm gonna get more coffee, if anyone wants to come. Just, uh, Charlie? Keep Buddy safe okay?"
