Highschool Romance

1. RUCKUSES IS AN ACTUAL WORD?

School had just ended and the three friends were supposed to go to the arcade like they always did on Wednesdays.

Were heading to the arcade today, right? Bahari asked as he turned to his best friend, who was already heading out of class.

"Yeah, but I'll meet you there. I have something I got to do." August answered before rushing out of the room.

Okay Bahari responded as he watched August rush down the hallways narrowly, avoiding crashing into people.

Interesting he suddenly heard a deep voice behind him and turned anxiously only to discover it was Caleb.

Caleb, you need to quit creeping on people like that,

"August," he said as he adjusted his glasses over his nose. "He's normally cool, but once in a while, he does something so out of character. " He was right. August had this calm reserved air about him. One of someone who barely puts effort in what he did.

Bahari nodded silently agreeing to what Caleb was saying. Wonder where he runs off to he whispered to himself

Okay, lets head out. We cant keep her waiting Bahari said as he adjusted his bag over his shoulders. Today was the day August would get to meet her, Hanna, a girl they had started spending time with over break.

A wheezing August walked through the door as he looked around the place. He soon spotted Baharis tall frame on the far left playing House of the Gundead.

"You're late," Bahari said, as August approached, though he kept his eyes on the screen.

Sorry, it was a bit crowded at the store, Bahari cursed under his breath as the guy to the right of him shifted in his seat. August observed the hooded frame who in comparison to Bahari was quite small.

You were headed to the store? We could have gone there on the way home.

It would have sold out by then and Im not that late, August said as he placed his bag next to the seat between Bahari and Caleb that they had reserved for him. He settled down, finally getting to relax since he left school, and turned to Bahari. "So we're playing Enter the Gungeon todayHey, what are you doing with my bag!"

August leaped at his friend who had dug his arm inside his bag. What exactly had you gone for? Is it R-rated stuff, didn't know they sold out that quick, Bahari said as he wiggled his eyes suggestively while trying to evade Augusts hands.

"It's nothing like that. Give it back!" August said as he leaned over Bahari who was still struggling to keep the bag away from him while digging in.

So what do you dig, sexy mature women? Cutesy teenage girls? No need to hide it, Im your friend, I wont judge Bahari teased while doing his best to keep the bag off his friends reach.

Wait, Bahari suddenly stopped digging as he gazed away thoughtfully but he still kept his hand away from Augusts reach. Is it loli stuff? Is that why you dont want me to see it? Or bl," his eyes suddenly widened as he turned his gaze to August, should I be scared?

Shut up and give it back, you dumb ball!"

Dumbball? Bahari stopped piqued by Augusts words, and once more turned to his friend who was heavily leaning on his seat before his eyes widened once more at the creaking sound of his chair.

Get... However, before he finished, they both landed on the floor with a thud.

Ithink we broke a chair, August groaned as he shifted on top of Bahari.

Get off, youre heavy. Bahari wheezed out but August wasnt listening as his eyes shifted around them. They finally landed on someones lap where his bag and its contents laid. As his eyes shifted to the persons face, a flash blinded him momentarily.

What_, Bahari threw off his friend and turned to the person who had been seated next to him. Why did you take that, delete it.

Not ready to come out of the closet yet? Well, you cant do much about that since everyone here got to witness your show of affection seconds ago. a cool but feminine voice said.

"Han_" Bahari suddenly stopped as August reached over to take up a red mid-sized book before it slid off Hannas lap.

Safe! he whispered to himself as he let out a sigh and turned to the two pairs of eyes watching him.

manga? Thats what you rushed off to get? Bahari asked.

Its not just that it seems, Caleb said as he pointed at the other contents that had escaped his bag upon them crashing. The girl who held them in her lap was also staring at them.

A girl? Bahari turned to August, while the other two still had their eyes on the other stuff on Hannas lap.

I forgot to introduce you with all the ruckus_,

Why are you talking like it was someone elses fault. You started the said ruckus. August exclaimed cutting him off.

"Wellruckuses aside, this is Hanna, we met her here during break and hang out with her once in a while. She's beaten me in almost every game ever since we met here, She also goes to our school but she hates being seen with me so we don't talk much." Bahari said the last part with a sad sigh while Hanna simply watched him nonchalantly. "With that said, you've been acting pretty weird today."

Caleb stood up and grabbed the magazine that was about to slide off her lap, this is definitely more surprising.

"What could be more surprising than the ever-shy August acting rowdy_. WhatAugust? Well, this is definitely more surprising." Baharis eyes widened at the sight of the magazine.

"Seems he digs the cutesy teenage girl turns sexy stuff?" Caleb said and at that Hanna flinched.

August also turned to see the magazine that had them all surprised before cursing under his breath. Seriously, its not what you think.
