It was after class hours and Jade Legrand sat in the very back of the library, her supplies spread out around her. She had a whole litany of various colored beads, some she’d made herself with clay from the school, and others she’d got from school, and still others she’d bought herself with money she’d earned herself from selling her bracelets and earrings. Today she was going to make a matching set that was cat themed for one of her favorite teachers. Her teacher wanted to buy a set for her college aged daughter for her birthday and was willing to give Jade a bit of money for it as well. Of course the whole deal was under the table, but Jade was more than excited to get started for her.
The library even provided her with the perfect peace and quiet to get started.
She started off with the wire, twisting it to form a knot around a small clasp and tying the knot she’d practiced a million times over. Then she started to bead. One bead at a time, she alternated the colors, with the purple and black color scheme her client wanted. She was careful to not mess anything up either!
Jade plucked the cat head bead she’d made herself from the table and rolled it in her fingers. It was smooth to the touch and she was proud that the kiln she’d fired it in didn’t explode and make a mess of her things. And the glaze came out so nicely. She felt so grown-up! Like her business could actually, really be a thing one day! Then she could support Jeremiah when he went broke because there was no way he was getting a real job.
Jade laughed to herself at her dumb thoughts, and continued her bead work. But as she strung more beads on, something shifting around next to her caught her eye. There was someone in the room with her and she’d hardly noticed! Who was this kid? He seemed to be studying, with almost zero interest in the task.
Jade knew she probably shouldn’t get involved, but, her big mouth beat her to the chase.
“Hey, weird kid. What’re you studying?”
She could only hope that her reputation hadn’t preceded her.

He was more then just by her, he actually sat across from Jade with a textbook open in front of him. His face was resting between both hands as he had indented to stare at the ever flowing content and somehow absorb it into his seventeen year old brain. Perhaps, if he stared long and hard enough, he could absorb all of its content in one go! Thus, becoming the smartest person alive in the terms of - ah - what subject was this again? The book was gently raised to peer at the subject title and then promptly dropped back down. Science! Nah, fuck it. Science didn't like him and he most definitely didn't like it in the slightest. In fact, he rather like a toad then continue on in this chapter that was utterly mind numbing! This was when he had finally taken note of the girl across from him and all of her brightly colored beads. Now those beauties had captured his gaze long before she had even noticed him. In fact, while she hadn't been paying attention Cyrus had taken a neon orange bead and a yellow one in hand. Idly, he was playing with it down the spine of the open book. Because this was far more entertaining then actually leaning a subject. Plus, he liked this particular colors as they matched his randomly dyed strands of hair and bangles. "Hm?" He responded, peeling his eyes away from his new found toys. "This weird kid was studying the art of science. But now he is studying the are of beads." The two beads he had been playing with rolled together with a gentle clack. Reaching out, he idly picked out another bead to join his small growing army of distracting bead warriors.

Okay. So she wasn’t wrong then. Kid was giving her major freako vibes from the get-go. Not that she had any justifiable reason to say that, but the dude’s vibes were just way off. Even if he seemed to be a fellow lover of bright colors. And he seemed to be pretty frustrated over high school science? Pshaw. Yeah there was no way.
“This weird kid was studying the art of science. But now he is studying the art of beads.”
Jade’s eyes followed his arm as he yoinked a bead right from her tray as though he were a housecat stealing food. Apparently this wasn’t the first time he’d committed this heinous act either! Jade noticed two more of her beloved beads sitting in the spine of his science textbook. Stolen while she was deep in her work, too! What a jerk!
“Okay. Well. If you stop stealing my things, maybe I can help you learn. No one likes a thief, especially me.”
Jade reached over and snatched her two beads back from the book and placed them in their rightful spots. Even if it was only three of them, those little things added up when one didn’t have a lot of money!

One bead was sent rolling into the other, creating a gentle clacking noise. Then the beads would be put back together and the process repeated. Cyrus was playing with the beads like a small child with adhd. He had even considered reaching over to take a fourth when the girl spoke again. A second later two of the three beads were taken! The junior pouted, ”Hey, come on. I was just playing with them. I was going to give them back you know.” He tried to look offended as he leaned back in his chair. Running, now the only bead, between his closed hands. Clearly, ignoring the offer to help him with a subject that made him want to vomit on the daily. "Besides, I'm not stealing...I'm just, ya know, borrowing."His eyes now glued to her work in progress. ”Whatcha making?” The bead he held was now rolling across the back of his knuckles while the free hand tip toed back to the bead tray to see if he could snag another bead whole she was distracted. Knowing full well he might get his hand slapped or out right removed from his body at this point.

”Hey, come on. I was just playing with them. I was going to give them back, you know.”
That wasn’t the point, what? Jade raised an eyebrow. She felt like she had to be a stern mother with this little creature. You weren’t supposed to borrow without asking! That was, after all, just stealing. And thieves got punched.
Jade was somewhat confused when the boy ignored her question, only to ask his own.
“Whatcha making?”
Jade stopped what she was doing and glanced towards the boy with her head tilted and eyebrows raised.
“Well, wouldn’t you like to know? Why don’t you just use your eyes and take a look, hmm?” Her reply was flat and she held her cat themed bracelet up in the air, the purple and blue beads reflecting the bright white lighting in the library, “I noticed that you seem to like jewelry. If you want to learn how to make something, I can help. You don’t have to steal my stuff.”
