After the Togas || Holly & Jason
Staring into her locker, Holly mentally made a list of all the books she needed to take with her to study for finals that night. Since she'd spent the previous night at Jasper's party, she had a lot of catching up to do. She adjusted the sunglasses on her face before sighing and taking them off, shoving them in her backpack. After suffering through her morning classes, Holly's hangover was finally fading and she didn't need to wear the glasses anymore. That stupid party, she thought to herself. Despite all of the vodka she'd drank, Holly's memory from the night before was pretty clear. She didn't forget a single detail, although she wished she could.
Yesterday had been her worst day at Lightwood so far. When she'd heard her new roommate was Jasper's step sister Stella, Holly had been nervous, but only because she wanted to leave a good impression. Once the girl arrived, Stella's sarcasm had not sat well with Holly and left her feeling belittled. A hallow feeling in Holly's stomach rose as she thought about the fact that she would have to go to her room and face Stella soon. She couldn't keep staying in Sadie's room to avoid her. As soon as she'd seen Stella and Jasper together, she realized there was going to be no way to escape this girl. Not when Jasper thought she was perfect and treated her like a princess.
Then there was Jason, the only person Holly wanted to deal with less than Stella today. He was her friend, and although Holly had only know him for a few weeks, she'd begun to really care about him. She tried watching out for him last night, stopping him from drinking too much, yet he ended up being rude to her and flirted with Stella until Holly finally stormed out. Slamming her locker door shut, Holly hitched her backpack over her shoulder and turned to go out the exit, only to see the last person she wanted to see - Jason.
