The sound of crushing leaves is all that could be heard on the deserted sidewalk, the heavy combat boots crushing all of the leaves in the way with every confident step. Mandy had her headphones in, the wire getting in her way as she ran a hand through her hair. not anxiously just sort of a habit.

the black layered mini skirt was uncomfortable and unfamiliar on her skin. it made her ich her arm wanting to scratch the feeling away. looking up she spots the familiar high school she attends, with a confidant deep breath she walks in the front door getting drowned in stares

she flashes a fake smile and puts more pep in her step as "far away" by nickelback blasts through her headphones, only the slight buzzing of the music could be heard to the outside world.

approaching her locker she messily unlocks it and sets her bag in, switching out the text books, she unzips her jacket and reveals a white tank top. fixing her black and pink striped hair she closes the locker door only to be met with familiar eyes

"Hayden" she lets out a distressed sigh and puts on a cheerful smile

"hey, how you feeling?" he breathes out a muscled hand running through his brown hair. he was rocking his navy blue and gold varsity jacket with a pair of light washed jeans.

"oh you know," she paused, breathing in "as good as one can feel with a hangover" she giggles nonchalantly. that was a lie, Mandy hadn't touched an ounce of alcohol last night but she didn't want him to know that

"oh, do-do you remember anything last night?" he asked nervously, she wanted to laugh in his face but refrained for the time being

"not really only thing i remember was Bex doing a handstand on the roof" she snorts at the memory then looks up at him and with an eyebrow raised

"should i?" she dared, she wanted him to admit it. begged internally that he would be a decent fucking human for once

"oh, not really that was really the prime" he laughed breathlessly and mandy wanted to break into tears right then

"right. i'm gonna head to class" she gives him a tight smile and walks in the opposite direction before he could respond

"oh i'll walk you!" he insisted and followed her to room 209. She walks in the doorway, making sure to stand by the door

"isn't this the-" but before he could finish his sentence Mandy speaks up

"shit, do you think you could save my seat for a sec? i need to talk to bex" she motions towards the girl with black hair styled into a short bob

hesitantly he nodded and walked over to the seat in the very back. with a shit eating smile she salutes the boy and walks out into the hall hearing the lock turn. she raises both her eyebrows and lets out a sigh of relief. that door can only be opened from the outside with a master key. it was used during lockdowns

she hastily walks past bex and walks into her class the faint sound of someone banging on a door is heard and Mandy bites her lip and sits in the back with a innocent smile planted on her lips

the smile quickly faded as she makes eye contact with the person who walks through the classroom door

"you've gotta be shitting me" she scoffs in disbelief as Ranboo walks through the doorway

he makes eye contact with her and grimaces in dismay. she returns the gesture with an added finger, he rolls his eyes and mumbles something to the teacher, the teacher points to the desk beside Mandy and he nervously looked between the seat and the teacher. the teacher gestured to it and Ranboo  sighs in defeat

he sulks to the seat next to Mandy and she scoffs in mischief "so what's up with you Rainbow Dash?" she pops the gum in her mouth and Ranboo gives her a filthy side eye before looking back to the front of the class

"not much of a talker? that's new" she snorts shaking her head "yeah me neither" she mumbles carving something into the side of the desk. Ranboo curiously looks her way but snaps his attention to the door that had slammed open. there stood a red faced, pissed, Hayden Conroe. Ranboos stunned attention landed on the desk next to him that was now completely bare, besides an engraving on the corner closest to him

BYE LOSER

he snorts before shaking his head looking down at his paper ignoring the heated argument in the front of the class.

Mandy fucking Connor.
