a/n- OKAY after the last couple chapters I think y'all deserve some normal school day calmness

When Vesper, Lola, and me reached school I was pretty sure I was going to commit two murders. They just would not shut the fuck up. I love my sister, and Vespers my second bestfriend, just Jesus fucking Christ could the two of them talk. The entire 10 minute drive. The entire ten minutes they chatted. And it wasn't even anything important, it was about some art project in Lola's class, and then it was an English assignment Vesper was sure he was going to fail, serves him right. Then they talked about lunch and wondering what they would have. Nobody pointed out my busted lip or black eye, nobody would, this was not the first time Vespers seen me with a fresh bruise after coming home late. And Lola was there for the aftermath. It was just an unspoken rule that they didn't talk about it.
Everyone piled out of the car and into the school building. They said their "see ya laters" and "peace outs" before separating to their classes. We all have different first periods, but I'd see Vesper in 2nd, 4th, lunch, and 7th. Then I'd see Lola in lunch and 6th. Lola was in the year under us so we almost never saw eachother in school, me and Vesper shared the majority of our classes though.
I walked into my first period class, and there he was, that jackass has every single class period with me. What are the fucking odds, the guy I hate the most, I see the most. I sit down in my seat on the opposite side of the room as him. And begin my daily activity of pretending like he doesn't exist and like he doesn't glance my way every now and then. Which by the way why why every time I look up do I see him looking at me, and then looking away whenever I notice. It's getting fucking tired.
I was half asleep, ignoring the teacher, when I hear my name, and then immediately Romeo's.
I snapped my head up quickly, and Romeo was making his way over to my table. Shit, fuck, shit, fuck, shit. What could he want? Is he coming to tell me he's transferring schools and I'll never have to see that stupid perfect face again. But alas no
"Hey! Looks like we're partners for the end of year project" what. The. Fuck. Did. He. Just. Say.
"Huh" I say instead because I might be a jackass but I'm not that much of a jackass.
"The teacher, she just assigned partners? We're you not paying attention" now I know damn well he knows I wasn't paying attention because he was watching me not paying attention.
"No, no I wasn't, what's the project about" he sighed HE FUCKING SIGHED, it was a nice sigh though, like kind of pretty, no no that sigh was targeted at me, like I was a burden to mr. Perfect
"It's over the civil war" he just stood there looking at me for a minute afterwards, it was fucking creepy.
"Yeah okay, let's meet up later to talk about it" hah, as if, as soon as dipshit leaves I'm gonna ask the teacher if I can switch partners, I'd prefer literally anyone else.
"Want to walk to next period and talk about it on the way" he flashed one of those stupid fucking smiles and pointed to the door.
"Oh I'd love to, I just need to talk to the teacher really quickly, we can just chat later" and then I got up and walked across the room to the teacher, and he fucking followed like a goddamn puppy. I spun around and looked at him, his big brown eyes meeting my narrowed blue ones.
"What?" He asked in that always so innocent oooo look at me I'm so sweet stupid fucking tone
"Why are you following me" I decided bluntness would go over better that fake kindness with him now.
"Oh... was I not supposed to? I'm sorry my desk is just on this side with my stuff" and he pointed at his desk while looking... genuinely sad?? What in the absolute fuck in this man?
"It's fine, sorry for snapping" I just walked out the classroom, I doubt I'm going to be able to get to that teacher without this fucking puppy following me.
I got about halfway to my next class before you guessed it Romeo fucking Smite ran up to me, because of course he did.
"Hey! You ran off I thought you had to talk to the teacher" I did have to before your dumbass got in my way.
But instead I put on the happy face, so much for bluntness "I realized I can just email her later, I didn't wanna be late" it was a half truth, I would email the teacher asking to switch partners later, but I didn't give two fucks about being late.
"Ohhh okay that makes sense, so how do you want to divide the work? Do you want to come over after school and we can work on it" why does he sound so fucking excited. I took a deep breath in and kept that fake smile plastered on my face.
"Oh I would but I drove my sister and Vesper to a school today so I can't" we finally got to class, he kept asking dumb questions about the project and I kept pushing them off.
As soon as I walked into the doorway I noticed, I got fucking ditched, my eyes scanned the classroom to notice, my only friend, GONE.
"Fuck" was all I managed to whisper, because now I'm left with fucking hyper mc good boy on my ass about a project I'm probably not even going to finish depending on who I'm paired with.
"Where's Vesper? You drove him here today how'd he leave" I sighed, loud enough he could hear it and said
"I don't fucking know maybe he crawled up his own ass and died" okay that was harsh he just asked a question but he's been getting on my nerves, I could only play nice for a minute before snapping.
"Okay jackass I just asked" he looked shocked? Angry? Sad? Confused? His face scrunched up all weird and he almost looked like he'd cry ah fuck
"I'm sorry, shit man I'm sorry, I got no sleep last night I'm just really snappy today I shouldn't have said that" now I don't feel bad about snapping at him, but I don't really feel good about it either. The feeling made my stomach twist and turn, I felt like I might puke a little.
He just sniffled and said "no no it's okay" and walked to his seat.
I finally got him to leave me alone, why don't I feel good about it? Why did it make me feel sick? What the fuck is wrong with me? I napped the rest of the period, and ditched the rest of the day with Vesper, so I could explain these weird feelings with him. My sister was getting a ride with some girl on their cheer team anyways so it wasn't like I needed to drive her back
