Bullies - Beeduo highschool au

chapter 4- Valentines day

!TW: slight bullying!

-Tubbo POV-

Today is the day, it's valentine's day.

Tommy and I went over the letter again and decided it was good enough. We arrived at school a little earlier than usual, so Mark couldn't catch us. It kinda felt wrong doing this but with Tommy anything can be fun. And after all, it's just a prank, right?

We went to Mark his locker and we shoved it in-between the slot. We quickly made our way over to our own lockers and the schoolday had begun.

While we waited for our friends at our locker, I noticed Ranboo entering the building. He saw me looking and quickly went to his locker. He took off his jacket to put on a sweater, the guy has some biceps. I didn't know he did sport? I was still staring at him and Tommy noticed this. He also started looking at him, waiting until he took out the letter.

When he was done changing, we saw him taking the letter. He read it and you saw his ears blush a bit. I couldn't help but notice how cute that- I- I mean embarrassing that was. Ranboo looked around to find who wrote it, Tommy and I started up our conversation again to not look too suspicious.

First class I had today was math, why do I always start with the worst subject ever? I remembered I had this class with mr. faceless so maybe I could talk to him and get some more information.

I entered the classroom and noticed there were only 3 seats free, one of them was next to Mark. I go up to the seat and sit down.

-Ranboo POV-

I was waiting for class to start when the new kid, Tubbo, took the normally always empty seat next to me. Wasn't he Tommy's friend? Hasn't Tommy told him yet that he should never sit next to me?

The brunette turned towards me. Oh god,is he also going to talk to me? "Hey I'm Toby, but you can call me Tubbo. I heard your name was Mark?" Yep, yep he was going to talk to me. "Uhhm... I- I'd rather be called Ranboo..." I muttered. "O- oh okay, uhh.. yea." He turned back towards the whiteboard as the teacher entered the room and started her class.

We had to do some exercises and as usual, I was done way earlier that the rest of the students, so I started doodeling. I was drawing plants this time, my mom loves gardening and she taught me all about different types of plants. "Those are really good, I didn't know you could draw that well!" Tubbo said, I didn't notice him looking at my drawings. "Oh yea, I have been drawing since I could hold a pen. Practice makes perfect as they say." I laughed nervously, its been a while since I actually spoke to one of my classmates. "How did you finish the exercises that quickly? I'm still struggling with the first one." I looked over to his book and saw he was doing the exercise wrong. Should I help him? He's litterally in the same friendgroup as the kids who bully me. But he hasn't really done anything against me so it wouldnt hurt I guess. "You're doing it wrong, do you need some help?" I asked "Yeah, maybe that can come in handy." For the rest of the hour I helped him make his exercises and in the end he got the hang of it himself. We even made some jokes and I think it's the first time this year I have had a genuine laugh at school.

Then the bell rung. "Oh, Ranboo," Tubbo said,"could I maybe get your number so I could ask for help when I dont understand an exercise?" I thought for a bit."Yea sure, give me your phone so I can put it in." He gave me his phone and I put in my number and my name. I hand his phone back "Here you go" A second later I hear my own phone go off. A message.

unknown number
hey there big guy, its me ;)

I smiled and quickly added his number to ny contacts. Maybe I have finally made a friend. We walked together to the lunchroom and waved our goodbyes.

-Tubbo POV-

Normally I hope math is over as fast as possible, but with Ranboo I, funnily enough, had a lot of fun. We have quite a lot in common, we both like minecraft, we're not that good in big groups and we have similar taste in humor.

We entered the lunchroom and I saw a confused Tommy at our table. I'll have some explaining to do. "Bye Ranboo! See ya later!" I say and I make my way over to our table.

"Why the fuck were you talking to the weirdo? I didn't even know he actually talked to human beings." Tommy said. I remembered Tommy hated the guy I now actually saw as a potential friend. "We had math together and he helped me with some stuff, chill out man. Am I not allowed to talk to others?" I asked him. Tommy scoffed "Well, I'm not going to decide your life but if I were you I would talk to litterally anyone else than him. He's such a fucking freak, just look at him." I wanted to ask further what was so wrong with him but I decided not to do that and change the subject. "So have you already had a valentine letter?" Tommy sighed, "As popular as I am with the women, no one has asked me out yet. What about you? Have you got any girls yet?" On the inside I cringed a bit, I haven't told anyone but my sister Lani yet, but I am gay. I'm not sure I am ready to tell Tommy but when the time is right, I'll tell him. "Nope, I dont think they are really interested in someone like me. I mean, just look at me." Tommy laughed a bit. "Oh yea, did Mark say anything about the letter?" I shook my head "Nope it never came up." "Did you get any new information then?" Should I tell him I got his number? You know what, why not. "Yea I got his number for some math homework he explained to me." Tommy's face brightened up. "REALLY?? Okay Toby, that's amazing. I have an idea." He smirked. I'm not so sure I should've told Tommy, I dont want Ranboo to get hurt or anything...
