I'm Sorry | Skephalo

12. Study

Two weeks later, Thursday, lunch. Bad and Skeppy are seated at the table and are barely talking. Bad reading his book, and Skeppy is on his phone. Skeppy says, "So Bad...wanna play clash?" 

Bad shrugs, "Sure." 

They both play against each other and Skeppy beats Bad. He says, "I fucking got you!" 

"Language." Bad responds. 

"What is that?" Skeppy asks. 

Bad says, "What?" 

Skeppy says, "Language. Why do you say that so often?" 

Bad shrugs, "I just say it whenever theres cursing or something inappropriate. Im not a fan of stuff like that." 

Skeppy laughs, "Thats funny!" 

Bad says, "I don't know. Its something I do, alright." 

Theres some silence between them before Skeppy asks, "So do you have an Instagram?" 

"Why?" Bad asks. 

Skeppy shrugs, "I don't know...we could follow each other?" 

Bad goes to his insta, "This is it." 

Skeppy goes to his own insta and adds Bad. Skeppy says, "Why don't you post anything?" 

Bad shrugs, "I don't really need to." 

Skeppy says, "Well I think-" He gets cut off when Alex comes to the table and sits next to Bad. He says, "Hey guys!" 

Bad says, "Hey Alex. What are you doing here?" 

Alex shrugs, "You know my friend Fundy? He was kinda pissing me off so I left him." 

"Why?" Bad asks. 

Alex shrugs, "He kept getting cocky while we were playing a game and I just basically rage quit to put it simply." 

Bad says, "Yep, that sounds like you." 

Skeppy says, "Hey Alex, i'm Skeppy." 

Alex says, "Hey, yeah dude I know you...So, what are you guys doing here?" 

They shrug and Bad says, "Just playing Clash." 

Alex says, "Nice, nice, thats nice." 

So they spend lunch in awkward conversation between the three of them. 

But the next day, their alone together again. Alex usually sits with Fundy at lunch, his one other friend in the school. Skeppy says, "So, got anything fun this weekend?" 

Bad shakes his head, "Nope." 

Skeppy says, "Oh well, I was gonna ask, since your not busy...would you mind helping me with Biology? My lab parter and I are absolutely clueless, and you know our teacher sucks, so..." 

Bad shrugs, "Um, sure. Works for me. We could also work on literature as well." 

Skeppy smiles, "Cool. So whats your phone number?" 

They exchange numbers and Bad says, "Alright, so when and where should we study?" 

Skeppy shrugs, "You can come over to my place tomorrow if that's alright. I have my sister to take care of, but she wont bother us or anything." 

Bad nods, "Alright." 

Next day, Saturday. Skeppy had texted Bad his address earlier on. So the time is 1pm, Bad changes into jeans and a t-shirt, then grabs his book bag before heading out. The drive to Skeppy's house wasn't that far.
