starry eyed (tyler nguyen-baker) !!!discontinued!!!

"reconnection"

luckily, tyler got to school a bit earlier than he usually did , giving him a chance to slip into his locker and grab a lollipop. unwrapping that bundle of joy on a stick, he popped it into his mouth. sure, it was too early to be eating candy but why would tyler care? he doesn't.

"BESTIES ASSEMBLE!"

oh great. tyler rolled his eyes and turned around to lean on his locker, he watched meilin lee and her group of dorks embarrass themsevles. the four girls, now finished with their certainly *dramatic* entrance, walked past tyler.

"nice entrance, losers! way to up your obnoxious game." he jeered, giving the girls a cheeky smirk and a thumbs-down.

of course, that caused abby to pounce on him. thank god, he slipped away in time. snickering to himself, tyler decided to go to class early. as he walked the halls,  his eyes flitted to random parts of the area, observing every students movements. then, he caught a familiar head of (h/c) and red hair in the corner of his eye.

the bell rang, so much for going early, and immediately the hallway flooded with students trying to reach their classrooms.
tyler paid no mind to the panic and simply slipped between people soon arriving at his class.
sitting down in his usual seat at the back of the class, he propped his feet on the desk.

"okay, good morning class.." his teacher droned tiredly, "i'm sure you all know that today we'll be welcoming a new student. i expect you to treat them fairly."

silence.

"alright then, you can come on in, kid."

tyler sat up in his seat, intruiged. new student, huh? the door opened, and in walked...the y/n lookalike. they stood before the class with a bored look.

'yeah, that isn't y/n' tyler thinks, as he took in the appearance of
'y/n'.  they wore baggy jeans with various patches sown on, a (color) cropped shirt layered with a (diff/color) cardigan. they also had a few accessories here and there. this person is definitely not y/n.

"why don't you introduce yourself?"

tyler looked away, uninterested. he'd already determined that this person, whoever they are, isn't
y/n.

"hey, i'm y/n l/n."

well, damn. guess he was wrong. tyler focused his attention back to the front of the room.wanting to hear more.

"i just moved here from (place). i'm stoked to join you guys."

whispers erupted from everyone in class but y/n looked like they didn't care. they turned to their teacher and only asked where they should sit.

"sit in the back, next to tyler."

y/n's eyes flicked to tyler, eyes barely giving away their shock. they nodded and went to sit next to their old friend.  as soon as they were seated, the teacher started the lesson.

"long time no see, tyler..." y/n said quietly.

"yeah..long time no see."
