» Skeppy's POV «

I walked through the hall, waving back at a few people who bothered to wave at me. The early morning light filtered in through the windows, lighting up the school. I approached my locker, jumping as a hand slapped my locker shut as I opened it. I turned to see my friend Spifey standing with a huge smile on his face. He let me take out some books and folders before speaking.

"Exciting news, bud! We have a baseball game this weekend against the other high school! I heard it was taking place at the huge stadium they had behind the campus, aren't you excited!?" Spifey clapped his hands together in excitement.

I looked around, thoughts stirring in my head. I was excited but I didn't know if I could make it. Dream was holding a party the night of the baseball game and I had promised to show up to his party. I realized that I was also looking forward to the game against our strongest rival. I then looked back at Spifey, rubbing the back of my neck.

"Well..you see Dream is hosting a party at his house Saturday night, the same night as the game, and I promised him I'd show up. So-" Spifey cut me off.

"You could sit this game out. Three weeks from now we have another game against our second strongest rival, you could make it to that one. I can tell Mr. Bonn that you have placed to be this weekend and can't make it."

I sighed but then I realized something.

"Spifey I don't know. Coach said for this game I was gonna be the pitcher most of the game. Who takes my place as pitcher if I'm not there?" Spifey went blank. He clearly hadn't thought of that.

I was the team's greatest pitcher, sending us home last season with a trophy. If I wasn't there for the game, we'd definitely lose this one. Anytime we lose, we look bad at the next game. Usually I'd strike out ever batter, but if I'm not there, who knows what'll happen.

"Coach said if you can't make it to some games, Techno pitches. He's just as good as you are. He's the reason we won the game to move on to our final game of the season." I rolled my eyes. I never really liked having a competition on my team.

Techno and I seemed to get along pretty well but when it came to who was pitcher for each game, we always seemed to argue. I sighed, bringing my attention back to Spifey.

"Anyways, school's almost over for the day. Wanna head to my dorm after school?" I thought for a second then responded.

"I think I'll pass for today. I might walk around for a bit since it's actually a nice day for a walk."

Spifey nodded and said his farewells before heading to his own locker. The bell all of a sudden rang. Students rushed out of the school, either heading to their dorm or their houses. I stayed for a few minutes after the bell rang, always checking my locker and classes to see if I had left anything before I headed back to my dorm. As I walked towards the school doors to leave, I stumbled across a tiny box that sat on the floor. It was completely black with red stripes on the side. There was a note on the top that someone had written on very neatly. It read:

If found, please return to BadBoyHalo :D.
Dorm number is #17, feel free to drop it off after school!

I chuckled, picking up the tiny box. As bad as I had the urge to see what was inside, I didn't bother opening it. Dorm #17 wasn't to far from mine. My dorm was #14, just a distance from the stranger's dorm.
{ lmao 14. sorry }

It took a bit of walking but I finally arrived at the dorm, knocking three times in case I wasn't heard the first or second time. I heard someone yell something from inside, footsteps approaching the door. The doorknob moved as the door slowly opened. My eyes widened as a demon stood before me, his head wasn't visible due to him being taller than the door.

"Oh..uhm gimme a second,"

The door was shut for a second then opened again. I was then greeted by a boy with dirty blonde hair and beautiful emerald eyes. He adjusted his glasses and smiled. I was lost in sight, staring deeply into his eyes. I saw him wave a hand in front of my face as I apparently zoned out while staring. I felt my cheeks go red in embarrassment.

"Uhm I came to return this. I found it by the school doors and thought I'd give it back-"

I handed him the box and he gently took it, setting it down on a table beside the door which I couldn't see. He looked back at me and smiled.

"Thank you for returning it!" He began to shut the door until a stopped him.

"Oh, sorry. My names Skeppy...and you're welcome." I stuck out my hand.

He placed his hand on mine and shook it.

"BadBoyHalo. You can call me Bad though!" He adjusted his glasses again.

I felt myself blushing, then immediately look down at the floor.

"May I ask what's in the box..?" I still kept my eyes on the floor.

"Oh! Just a few papaya seeds, tomato seeds, and cucumber seeds. I'm in the school's gardening club so I usually bring seeds back to my dorm and plant them in some pots I have."

I finally looked back up at him, a smile stretching across my face. I then slid out my phone, handing it to the boy.

"If you don't mind, can we have each other's phone number? Maybe we can hang sometime..!" He took the phone from my hand, typing in his number. He handed me his phone and I typed my number in.

"Well, I should get going, it's getting dark. See you around then!" I waved goodbye as I started to walk off.

"Goodbye muffin!" He shouted as I heard his dorm door shut.

Muffin? Unusual name to be called.

I arrived back at my dorm, instantly flopping down on my bed. I pulled out my phone, hearing a ding come from the device. I looked to see a message from the boy.

BadBoyHalo
Hello muffin head! Hope you made it back to your dorm safely! Excited for this weekend?
8:23 p.m.

You
Ayo! I made it back okay. Totally forgot tomorrow's Friday. This boy named Dream invited almost everyone over to a party at his house Saturday night. Did he invite you?
8:24 p.m.

BadBoyHalo
He did invite me. I never go to parties but I thought I'd try to attend this one. I get a little nervous being around a bunch of people, even if their drunk.
8:24 p.m.

You
Don't worry. If your nervous I can walk there with you? We can meet after school and walk their together!
8:25 p.m.

I froze for a second. I realized I had just asked to walk their with him. I can't possibly like him..or do I? Of course I don't! We just met today. I sighed and looked at his reply.

BadBoyHalo
I'd love that! Meet me outside of the school doors after school tomorrow and we can walk from there.
8:27 p.m.

You
Awesome! Cant wait for tomorrow. Night!
8:27 p.m.

BadBoyHalo
Goodnight muffin head! Get some sleep <3
8:28 p.m.

I turned off my phone, setting it on the nightstand. I decided to go ahead and fall asleep. I had no quizzes tomorrow, just some reviewing for a pop quiz next Friday. As I attempted to fall asleep, I couldn't help but keep thinking of the boy I had just met. We had only met almost an hour ago and I seriously asked to walk him to Dream's house. I closed my eyes, smiling. I couldn't get over how his eyes practically flowed in the light from the setting sun. I soon drifted off to sleep, ready for what tomorrow would bring.
