FPE Impetus AU: Grading

(Moments before Riley would exit the school): *Petunia and Lizzy walk off with indignant expressions on their face. Anyone one would if their dead friend was insulted. * Petunia (Internally): I can't believe she'd say something like that.  *Petunia and Lizzy finally exit the school itself until ...* ???: Waaaaiiit *Lizzy and Petunia turn aro- "ugggh. It's her again." Lizzy thinks. * RUBY: look, I'm really, really, really sorry about what Riley said. But we still need to study so- Lizzy: Can't you tell that we're not up for studying right now?  RUBY: But ... why? I understand that you are upset with Riley, but I - Lizzy: YOU keep of hanging around her.  RUBY: *RUBY expression changes to one of skepticism. * Why does that matter? *Petunia and Lizzy look at each other, confused. * Petunia: You ... do know what Riley is like ... right? RUBY: "oh, that's what you have a problem with. Look, I know Riley isn't the best person. She's vi*lent. She's rude. She's got a weird choice in who she likes. She's not ... a ... good person.   But ...   I ... can't ... leave someone else behind.   Not again. Even if there not a good person."   Lizzy: Say whatever you want. We're not risking being around that ... that ... Lunatic! RUBY: But why does that mean that we can't study? Lizzy: If you're the type of person that can stand being around ... her ... then you're not trustworthy either. RUBY: You know what'll happen if you fail. Your grades aren't that good either. Are you really going to risk you're lives because I associated with someone you don't trust. Have you even been paying attention to how I've interacted with her? I've been trying to stop her from hurting others. YOU saw me save Robby. *Petunia moves closer to Lizzy and whispers into her ear. * Lizzy (Whispering): C'mon Lizzy. I'm not saying we should ignore this, but ... we are failing. We don't have Cubbie and ... *Lizzy turns to face Petunia. * I - I can't risk losing you. Please. Lizzy: ... *Lizzy turns her eyes to face RUBY. Then Petunia. This cycle repeats for a few moments. * Lizzy: You are a machine, right? Send us the study material online. *Lizzy takes a piece of paper and rights down her and Petunia's email. She tosses it at RUBY, who catches it. * C'mon. Let's go. *Lizzy and Petunia leave the school. RUBY does to. Riley would open the school doors, managing to only see RUBY walking away. *
