Just one (karlnap)

Back and forth

TW:none

Karl POV

I walk into school completely ignoring Alex we got in a fight and now we aren't speaking. I didn't get any sleep last night. I couldn't my mind wouldn't relax.

I walk to my locker secretly hoping that Alex will be waiting for me but I didn't want to get my hopes up. As I'm getting closer to my locker I see someone standing there. It looks like Alex.

When I arrive at my locker I see that it is in fact Alex. I say hi I'm shocked to see him considering we had a huge fight just yesterday.

He says Hi back and then continues talking about something I'm not paying much attention but I hear a few key words "blah blah blah boy blah blah blah locker blah blah blah letter." I when I hear those words put together I rush even faster to open my locker Alex obviously questions me because well that's what he does but I avoid all his questions and open my locker I feel a letter fall to my feet.

I pick up the letter and open it I find his messy but legible writing

The letter reads

Hey,

I got your letter obviously.
I know you said I didn't have to write back
but I'm doing it anyway
I know that these aren't love letters
And I wanted to say I've noticed you in the hall as well
I had one question for you and that is what's your name?
I want your name so I can address the letters to someone
Other than "K"
Don't give me your name if you don't want to
Also if you want you can still write back to locker 274.
But I assume you already knew that.
-S

S? His name starts with S? And he wants to know my name. He wants to address letters with my name. There's going to be more letters. I hope we can send them back and forth for a while. Me and Alex head to class. When we get to class and we are seated at our desks I pull out a piece of paper.

I start writing.

Hey S,
My name is Karl Jacobs.
But just Karl works.
I told you my name now can I know yours?
If you don't want to tell me that's fine and understandable.
You asked me a question so now it's my turn,
What's your favourite colour?
Mine is Purple or grey.
I really hope that these letters continue going back and forth between us
I really like writing and receiving them. They honestly make my day.
I'm also glad that we are on the same page about these NOT being love letters.
-Karl

I re read the letter to make sure it's perfect. I fold it and put it in my backpack and plan to put it in his locker after class.

The bell rings and I pack up my stuff as quickly as I can and make it to his locker before he does. I quickly push the letter in through the vents and walk away.

I head to lunch and find my usual table of course Alex is sitting there but I think we made up this morning so I go sit with him anyway.

"Hey mind if I sit with you?" I ask Alex making sure that it's ok if I sit with him. He nods his head and I sit.

"Hey Karl few questions." He says

"Yeah what is it?" I reply

"One what took you so long to come to the table today? Second yesterday there was some dude putting something in your locker who was he and what was it?"

"Uhmm" I hesitate to answer both questions but I finally think of something "I needed to out some things away in my locker before I came to lunch. And there was nothing in my locker today and I don't know who the guy is maybe they were at someone else's locker?"

"Ok sorry I must've been seeing things or maybe he was at a different locker." He apologizes and I now feel bad for lying to him.

Sorry about the shorter chapter also Quackity doesn't know about the letters. He left once Karl started ignoring him after the letter fell out of Karl's locker. Sorry for confusion
