“Did you pregame the fashion show? That’s hella risky, you could’ve fallen…”
Jess listened as the girl went on about her being drunk; which brought a chuckle to her own lips. “Drunk I am not… I may be a little high though. Let’s just say I may… or may not have eaten a weed brownie before coming here. Needed to loosen up before, well… all of this,” Jess muttered - running her hands through her hair and pulling it up into a messy ponytail to get it out of the way. What could she say? She hadn’t necessarily been nervous coming to the fashion show because Jessica Pierce had simply become used to the way people looked at her and talked about her - but it didn’t hurt to relax. She moved her head ever so slightly to the side with the question of where she was, however; laughing slightly. “Here and there,” Jess responded vaguely with a cheeky smile. “Mostly at home though… well Dan’s home,” Jess finished; smiling at the girl as she helped Jessica out of the dress - her mind trying to piece together what morning Mare could be talking about.
Though for some reason when she had replied; Mare seemed… almost upset at her response. Jessica was fully dressed in the clothes she had worn to the fashion show and in the back of her mind; considering leaving the fashion show early and hanging out outside since she still had to wait for the… conversation with Dorian. Though was distracted as Mare continued saying something about the school lock-in. Raising her eyebrow, Jess presumed the girl likely had just mistaken her for someone else. “Mare… I wasn’t at the lock-in,” Jess laughed slightly as the girl continued talking about hearing that she had disappeared with Val. “Nope… not me. I don’t… actually think I’ve talked to Valerie since I’ve gotten back. I mean I can’t exactly blame her for ignoring me but no,” Jess continued as the conversation only turned stranger. “Oh I get it - are you doing one of those blue royalty tasks that told you to confuse someone or something. If so, I think you get those points girl.” Jess laughed lightheartedly. “Are you okay by the way?” Jess questioned, pointing to her exposed skin peeking out from the jumpsuit Mare was wearing. “You’re skin… looks a little red…” Jess continued; though she had been in more than her fair share of uncomfortable clothes so she understood irritating clothing. “But no; to answer your question. I don’t remember what happened at Starbucks the other day… and I nothing happened with me and Val,” Jess smiled.
As if on cue; Jessica heard a familiar voice behind her; one Valerie Wood and Candice Clarke… wait Candice? Jess had to do a double-take looking at the girl - recalling a funeral she had went to a month ago. Nope. Not your business. Jess thought to herself. Sending Val a soft smile, “Hey Val; I was just telling Mare how the two of us weren’t hanging out during the day of the lock in - though from what it sounds like, you seem to have had fun,” Jess laughed, sending her a rakish grin with no ill intentions. After all; this was the first time Jess had even spoken to the girl in person in… years.
