Bi Pride - Kleinsen Fanfic

=10=

The next day at school started off a bit odd. Jared had texted me and told me he couldn't drive me to school that day. He wouldn't answer me as to why, so I gave up asking and just decided to walk to school. On his way there, Zoe ran up to him.

"EV! EV! EV!" She chanted as she bounced by me. I smiled softly.

"Yeah?" Zoe swung her backpack around her and rummaged through it. She smiled as she grabbed something and she looked up to me.

"Hold out your hand." I stopped walking and I held out my hand for her. She set something in it. I looked to the object. It was a bi pride bracelet. I beamed and looked up to her.

"I totally forgot about this! Thanks, Zo." I said. I gave her a tight hug. She giggled.

"No problem! They're really fun to make." she said. Zoe helped me put the bracelet on. I stretched out my hand, examining the bracelet. It was really well made! I thought it looked pretty good on me, too. I was a little worried about what others might say.

Zoe patted my back, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"It looks really good on you. Now we can be twinsies!" she giggled, holding her wrist with her gay pride bracelet up against mine. I smiled at her.

"Thank you, Zoe. I love it."

Zoe patted my shoulder. I could hear footsteps on the other side of me and feel a presence of someone. I looked up and nearly jumped out of my skin. Connor was walking beside me. Zoe noticed me jump and she laughed.

"Connor, a little bit of a warning next time." she snickered. Connor chuckled and shrugged. He looked to me.

"Didn't I give you my number? You never uh...you never called or texted..." he said, reminding me.

"O-Oh! Yeah, Jared took your number from me. Sorry. I-I totally would h-have!" I squeaked. Connor's eyebrows furrowed a bit and he stopped walking. I stopped as well, Zoe right beside me. She looked just as confused as I was.

"Here. Can I just get your number?" he asked, pulling out his phone. I nodded.

"S-Sure." I gave Connor my number and we continued on our way to school. Zoe was giving Connor quick glances. Connor peeked down to the bracelet Zoe made me.

"Oh, that's who it was for?" he asked. Zoe nodded.

"Yuh-huh. Ev here is bisexual and proud of it." she patted my back. I squeaked and gave a small smile. Connor smiled back and looked forward.

"That's cool. I'm gay as hell."

"Thanks, Connor. We know." Zoe snickered, punching Connor's arm.

"I-I didn't know..." I stuttered. Zoe ruffled my hair.

"You're too innocent."

"I-I'm not innocent!" I squeaked.

"You're voice gets high pitched when you're mad, you stutter all the time, you're constantly nervous and flustered, and you're short. Innocent cinnamon roll." my face heated up.

"I'm n-not short..."

"Well, you're definitely not tall." Connor chuckled. I punched his arm.

"Shut u-up!"

We all started laughing and just talked together on our way to school. Connor seemed pretty talkative and Zoe almost seemed surprised by it. It felt nice to actually have friends. It wasn't something I was used to, but I definitely could get used to it.

Once at school, I walked to my locker. Zoe, being a year younger, headed to her locker in a different direction.

"See ya at lunch!" she called behind her as she walked away. Connor's locker was close to mine. We talked as I unpacked my stuff and grabbed what I needed only for first period. We began walking to class together when Connor looked ahead and he frowned. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion and I looked over. Jared was walking towards us.

"Hey Ev! And...Connor." Connor crossed his arms. I smiled sheepishly and waved.

"What are you guys doing?" Jared asked, stopping in front of us.

"Heading t-to our first period c-class. Why?" I asked. Jared seemed to bite the inside of his cheek.

"No reason. Anyways, see you at lunch, Evan." he said walking past Connor and I. I paused.

'Wait...what?'

Jared never ate lunch with me. I raised my eyebrow and looked to Connor who shrugged.

"Just ignore him." He said. I nodded slowly and we continued on to our class. I was still pretty confused as to what Jared meant about seeing me at lunch. I brushed it off and pushed it to the back of my head.

Something I will focus on once it's actually lunch.
