Do I Know You?

11

Killua's life was going smoothly for once, he was busy and that was good. He only ever really came back home on the weekdays for meals and sleep, the rest of his time was spent being a teacher's aide and a vigilante. He started finding less and less time to go to Ms. Lupech during lunch as well. People had started inviting him to sit at their tables, to the point where he had to sit at a separate on each day or they would fight. Killua went from that one kid nobody liked, to the most popular kid in school in two weeks.

"Killua! Come sit!" Mina shouted, cupping her hands over her mouth. Killua sighed and waved to people who smiled at him on his way over. There were 10 people at that table. Mina, Kirishima, an orange haired male named Amane, a short blue haired boy called Rumi, a blonde girl with pigtails named Lua, a dark green haired boy called Drak, a non binary kid with red hair named Leaf, a dark skinned female with black hair named Dollie, A yellow haired male with dragon horns named Mi, and a constantly depressed looking girl with tangled brown hair named Key. "Hey guys" He said, before dropping down between Kirishima and Key.

Killua blinked a few times at Key, who hadn't looked up. She was listening to something on her headphones. He huffed, before tapping her shoulder. She blinked, then glanced over at him. "Oh, hey" Dollie huffed, then snatched her phone. "What are you even listening t-" As soon as the headphones were unplugged they heard music. "aa shinitai shinitai demo shinitakunai~" Key quickly powered off her phone, and there was an awkward silence for a few moments. What the...hell? 'I wanna die?' Mi frowned slightly. "You good?" She laughed awkwardly. "yeah I just...like that song" Key mumbled, snatching her headphones back. Dollie coughed. "ANYWAYS" She said, then tossed Killua an envelope. He hummed in curiosity and opened it, then blinked. 'You are invited to Dollie's truth or dare party next Saturday! Bring as many friends as you want'

"Oooh, what does it say?" Mina said, with shining eyes. Kirishima looked faintly...moody. He wasn't sure why. "it's an invitation to a...'truth or dare party' " He said, dubiously. Leaf frowned slightly. "You didn't invite any of us!" Dollie rolled her eyes. "I didn't know who else to invite" He chuckled, then pointed to everyone at the table. "yall can come" They cheered for the most part, but Dollie tried to protest. "W-Wait-" He smirked. "You did say I could bring as many friends as I wanted" She sputtered for a few moments, then settled back with a sigh. "I guess I did" She grumbled. Mi laughed. "I already have a few dares in mind-" Drak blinked. "Like...what?" He grinned, then whispered something in his ear. Drak's eyes widened and he jumped slightly. Then hissed. "Don't you dare!" He laughed some more, and Rumi frowned slightly. "What was it?" Mi smirked. "I could dare someone to read a random story from my playlist on-"

"NO!" about 5 people shouted. Killua sighed. Mi had an notoriously dirty mind, and tended to read some....'questionable' fanfictions. Leaf gulped. "I know I sure as hell aint asking you for a dare..." Mi laughed. "Oh come on, it'd be fun! You see there was this one fic-" Dollie smacked a hand over his mouth. "I don't even want to know. If you so much as utter a word I'll go get my bible and smack you upside the head with it"

Killua sat the entire rest of the week at that table, honestly that crowd was starting to grow on him. Kirishima started acting a bit strangely too but not in a bad way, he just tended to want to be included more often with what Killua was doing. The week came to a close, and on Saturday morning both Killua and Kirishima were getting dressed for the party. Killua was very particular about his outfit, when he was done he smirked and did a pose. "How do I look?"

Kirishima's jaw dropped and he covered his face. "D-Dude you look like your about to go clubbing-" he shrugged. "It's a party. What do you have?"

Killua blinked a few times. "I don't like that silence..." Kirishima said with an awkward shuffle of his feet. He sighed. "It's not a bad outfit, that's not the issue" He said, running his fingers through his hair. "The issue, is your going to a damn party! Are you seriously planning on going to a party looking like that?" He rubbed the back of his head. "Y-Yeah?" He said, nervously. Killua growled, then nudged him out of the way and rifled through his closet. "Give me five minutes, no way in hell I'm letting you show up to a party wearing that"

He had to grab one of his pairs of pants but he and Kirishima were close in size so it didn't matter all that much, he tossed the outfit to a bewildered Kirishima with a smile. "Go put that on" He nodded, then retreated to the bathroom to try it on. A few moments later, he came back out.

(Pretend he has black hair T^T)

Killua whistled. "Perfect" Kirishima laughed a little. "I guess....Yeah ok this does look a lot better" He admitted. Killua grinned, then grabbed his phone and called Dollie. "Hey Dollie, me and Kiri are all set. Where's the location?" Dollie squealed. "it's-"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About half an hour later they arrived at a house, the door was unlocked curiously enough. Kirishima glanced sideways at him and he shrugged, then opened the door. There was a sign on a wall as soon as they entered directing them up to a specific room. Killua could hear faint music rattling the walls slightly, so he followed the music. "It just keeps getting louder and loude-" He cut off as they opened a door, only to see everyone else already there. They were all cheering and watching as Mina breakdanced in the middle of the room with music so loud that it rattled the windows. Killua tapped to the rhythm on the doorframe a little as he watched. Kirishima rubbed his eyes. "Damn" he muttered. Suddenly Mina's eyes drifted over to the door and she leapt to her feet. "Ah! The rest of the party's here!"

Dollie huffed and shut off the music. "Finally! You guys are late, I wasn't sure if you were ever gonna show up" Killua placed his hands behind his head as he strolled in with a grin, showing off his fashionable outfit. "Wow, you look like your about to go to a club" Leaf said, adjusting their headband. He scoffed. "it's a party, might as well be" Mi shuffled his feet a little. "I feel underdressed compared to the rest of you" He said nervously. Kirishima walked in with a sigh. "Ah your fine, we were late because Kiri's outfit needed work so I helped him fix it" Dollie grinned, then led them over to another room. "Alright, time for the party to commence!"
