Behind Screens

Chapter two ☻

George's Pov:
I picked up my bag and headed to the courtyard in front of the school for break. We have a break every two classes, the schedule being first and second hour, then a break, third and fourth hour, then lunch, fifth and sixth hour, then a break, then seventh hour. As I was walking I met up with my friend Karl, he is a small boy around the height of 5'11 (180cm), has fluffy brown hair, and an adorable smile. He comes up to me with a smile and hands me his phone, I look down to see a screenshot with him and another boy in our grade, Nick.
"GEORGE LOOK," he says, "I played minecraft with Nick this weekend and it was really fun."
"That's amazing Karl," I said laughing, "glad that you're finally making friends.
I roll my eyes as we continue walking to a table about 5 feet (152 cm) away. We sit down and my other friend Quackity joins the table looking cheery as always, he sits next to Karl and I sit on the other side parallel to them. Me, being the comedian I was decided to make THE FUNNIEST joke I could think of,
"Karl- okay...I've been thinking....if two vegans get in a fight...wouldn't it technically be called BEEF?!" I said almost bursting with laughter.
"George... that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard." He says with a smile and a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"But, I have an 'intellectual' question for you guys, "what if rocks are actually squishy, but when they touch something it becomes solid hard?"
"so...it would only be squishy when it's literally floating..." I say, trying to wrap my head around the concept.
"KARLOS YOU'RE A GENIUS!" Quackity shouts, thinking this is the smartest thing anyone has even said.
I laugh and stand up to get a drink from a nearby vending machine (these mfs fancy school or sumn). I put my dollar in the slot and pushed on the Coke (a-cola obviously) button. The drink makes a banging noise as it hits the opening, ready for me to take it out. I already know I'm gonna have to wait to open it. I take it out and start to walk back to the table but of course I drop the drink and it rolls across the concrete and hits someone's foot. Great, just great, I think. I pick up the can and as I bend over to do so, I hear the person lowly chuckling at me, they bend over faster than I and pick up my cola before me.
"Sweet, a free drink" Clay says, smiling down at me.
I mentally sigh, having to deal with this again, "really? Are you going to do this to me again-? IT'S 10:07 AM CLAY!"
"Finders keepers George." He says still smirking. I wish I could just slap the smirk off his face, it annoys me so goddamn much.
"I paid for that, you know." I say back hoping some part of him will realize he really needs to give it back.
"How much did you pay for it??" He asks more sincerely than his past remarks.
"Literally a dollar Clay." I retort back, getting more annoyed by the second.
"You can buy another" He smiles tauntingly.
I scoff and start to walk back to the table.
"Oh come on now, I'm just messing with you Georgie." He says handing me back my drink.
"Whatever," I scoff, "you're literally named after a substance, used for pottery." This time I get about two feet (61 cm) before I hear him behind me say,
"Hey, that's kinda rude." I quickly look behind me and see him faking a frown trying not to laugh and break character.
"Whatever Clay." I walk back to my table and sit back with Karl and Quackity, them being content on their phones.
As I open my drink, I hear the bell ring for third hour, history.
"Damn it- I really wanted to drink this too." I sighed. I took a few sips then threw it away in the bin nearest to my class.
