JJ and you had never been close, I mean, why would you? You were a kook, he was a pogue. Of course, that was until you both were put on a project together.
You were close with Sarah Cameron, which wasn't someone that Kie even tried to hide her hate for not that he ever fully understood the situation (nor did he care).
The project was going to be over a span of a few weeks so you could both decide how you wanted to do it, what historical event to do, etc. Something you were actually good in. JJ was suprirsed that kooks could be good at anything that wasn't being stuck up related.
JJ honestly felt like being a piece of shit and making you do it all by yourself for being a kook but the way you walked up to him and asked so kindly, like you both werent practically too different sides of a food chain... he struggled to say no.
