Juliet Does Science.

And then science gets done.

"Try something more public, or more private than you did. Usually it's that."

"So I should either give into some PDA or keep it all behind closed doors..."

"Sounds fun to me."

"This relationship thing is fun. So many unknowns. Keeps me on my feet."

"I wouldn't know. See you at lunch?"

"I'll bring Matt along with me, maybe? Or would you rather I didn't? I mean, I probably talk about him too much as is."

"You don't think he'll be intimidated? I hear I'm intimidating."

"Even if he is, he should get used to it."

And then, Juliet has art.

Matt waves tentatively at her.

Juliet waves back and then sits next to him.

"Good morning, my prince."

"Parting is such sweet sorrow. How'd it go last night? You look okay."

"Apart from looking ridiculous in these clothes, you mean?"

She laughs.

"It went fine. I got to indulge in a little B&E, that was fun."

"What's some mild law-breaking betwen friends?"

"Exactly. Though in this case, it was between cousins. Damon will be cool with it though. He'd probably be proud of me."

"He seems like an interesting guy. When do I meet him?"

"He's interesting, yeah. But he also mostly lives out of town, which is why I had to break into his apartment. You can meet Stefan though. He lives in the Boarding House with me and my dad. Though I think he's out of town right now."

"I've never met most of my extended family. Is it nice having him so close?"

"Yeah, he's always lived with us, it's never been any different. I- yeah, I like it. He's a really good person and he loves me. I wouldn't have it any other way. You're going to get along so well.

"Can't wait."

Art class is mostly an excuse for Matt to play around with his camera, so he does that.

Hmm. She stands from her seat and walks over to the teacher's desk.

"Excuse me, would you mind if we go into the darkroom? I read this really cool technique in this magazine and I was hoping to give it a try. Matt was hoping to see it too..."

"Oh. Of course. You can show it to everyone. Three students at a time?"

Not all of the students look interested.

"Well, just you two to start. Go ahead."

Juliet walks over and grabs Matt hand, pulling him over to the other room.

Once inside she switches on the Darkroom In Use sign and turns to look at Matt.

"Hi."

"You do have plans, don't you."

"Many many many plans." She steps right up to him. "But mostly I just wanna see how long it takes for you to kiss me."
