You've lived in Denver for many years and always recognize faces. But this time, you didn't recognize this singular face in the hallway. You stood there staring at him next to your locker with a confused face trying to figure out who he is. While he was closing his locker he turned his head and saw you. You quickly turn around and walk away to your third period. You sit down still thinking about him and how awkward is was for him to see you. You blush red in embarrassment and put your head into your hands as someone walks into the classroom, you've never really cared who has walked in because you weren't expecting anyone so you didn't look at the door. "Everyone this is our new student Bruce Yamada. I hope you can all help him feel welcome here, please take a seat anywhere bruce." Says the teacher. You lifted your head up to see who the new student was.
there were no seats other then the one next to you. "Oh shit.." you mumble as he walks over and sits down placing his bag on the back of his chair.
You place your hands between your thighs and look anywhere but at the kid next to you. "I'm sorry I had to sit here I can tell you don't like me." Bruce says breaking the awkward silence. "Huh? What makes you think I don't like you?" you reply guilty "Well you were looking at me in the hall and you looked.. mad? Plus you look like your really dreading me sitting here." bruce said while leaning on the palm of his hand looking at you almost as if he was admiring your beauty. You got flustered before answering his question. "Sorry I was so concentrated on remembering who you were but your new so I didn't remember, plus when you saw me it was really embarrassing.." you say mumbling at the end still avoiding eye contact but he was still looking at the features on your face very closely.
"I understand it was also very embarrassing for me, everyone was looking and pointing at me." replied Bruce looking at his notebook and picking up his pencil writing what was on the board. "Yeah sorry you probably felt weird." you say staring at your notebook. "Not quite, I know how people are with seeing new students." Bruce said as the bell rang and the class started packing quickly since it was now lunch you caught bruce walking out the classroom you wanted to ask him a question "Hey bruce!" you say catching up to him breathing heavily in the slightest
"Oh hey, I never got your name." bruce said with a smile, he seemed happy to see you. "It's Y/n, I have something to ask you." you replied starting to walk with him. "Of course, anything." bruce says still smiling you thought he looked adorable."I wanted to ask if you wanted to sit with me and some of my friends at lunch?" you ask. You both turn the corner as he says "I'll be there." you smile looking down feeling your face turn red. You both walk into the cafeteria get your food and sit with Finney, Billy, Vance and Robin.
"Who the fuck is that." said Vance
"Is that the new kid?" asked Billy
"Yeah, his name is bruce." you replied "Cool, welcome Bruce." said Robin
"I don't give a single shit I need money for after school." Vance said
"Pinball machine?" you replied taking a bite of your food "Obviously dumbass." Vance answered rudely
"Just asking, god." You say as you take a 5 dollar bill out and throw it at him. He picks it up with a look of disgust.
"5 dollars? What are you broke?" said Vance
"I know you did not just ask me that after you asked for money." you say glaring at him. "Whatever." Vance says as he kicks you under the table. You give him a dirty look until Finney speaks "So..bruce huh."
"Thats me." Bruce says slightly smiling "You play baseball?.." asked Finney as bruce's smile grows.
(Ya'll have lunch while Vance is still bitching about being broke. 💁🏻♀️)
