Runaways (Ticci Tobi x male!reader)

Chapter 2 new school and that really hot kid

You wake up on the floor and get ready for school, get dressed, and walk out without getting your breakfast. You simply get your money for lunch and monster then walk to the store next to the sex shop less than a mile away from your school. As you walk into the store and pick out your monster, you wonder which one came first, though if you're being honest with yourself it's probably the school. You pay for your monster and drink it on your way to your new high school.

As you're walking, a short, (about 5'4-ish) kid bumps into your backpack "oh! I'm sorry! I wasn't looking where was going." They say apologetically "it's ok, you're good! Uh, what's your name?" You say. Your posture is a little stiff as always when you meet someone. Despite how you act with your mother and father, you can get a little anxious around people, especially strangers. "Oh! My names Eryk!" Eryk says with a smile. Eryk seems like a very cheery person, an almost refreshing change of pace from all the assholes that seem to surround you. "My names y/n, it's nice to meet you!" You say, the same stupidly awkward smile on your face. "God, you should really develop some social skills" you think to yourself. Thankfully, Eryk seems to be more charismatic than your socially challenged self, "so, do go to West high?" Eryk says. "Well, now I do" you say with a slight chuckle. "Me too! maybe we should walk together?" Eryk says "oh, uh sure!" You say, Eryk's generally cheery person wearing off on you a bit. Eryk giggles as you both start to walk to school.

You and Eryk walk to school when you walk past a scrawny, pale boy with messy dark brown hair with dark brown eyes. He had a couple scars, one that stood out to you is his split brow scar. You know that most people wouldn't find him attractive, but you weren't most people.

As you walk past you try and keep your eyes on the stunning boy for a bit longer than would be considered polite. In your defense, You don't mean to be rude, and you catch yourself after a bit and stop yourself. "Y/n stop crushing on someone you literally have only looked at once" you think to yourself. You can hear a little giggle from Eryk as your face turns a bit red, not because of the brunette boy, but because of your own
embarrassing actions. "Hey, Eryk, do you know that guy's name?" You whisper as you try to sneakily point to the brunette boy. "Oh you mean Toby? We know each other. Kind of, we've talked before but we don't know know each other, you know?" Eryk replies. "Some of the kids are bullying him for his tics, poor kid.." Eryk adds. "Oh, that's fucked up.." you say. You don't get why people do that kind of shit. Bullying someone for something they can't control doesn't make you funny, or cool, it makes you an asshole.

"However, I could practically hear you crushing on him!" Eryk exclaims in a sing-songy voice. You do a double take "what?? No I'm not! There's a difference between thinking someone's attractive and having a crush on them, I haven't even talked to Toby!" You reply. Blush creeping on your face just a bit more than before. Thank god Toby couldn't hear you two right now, he'd probably think- no, know you're crazy. "Well then go talk to him, the worst that could happen is he ignores you or something" Eryk says back. They do have a point, but you also aren't even sure if he's gay, and straight dudes usually don't like being hit on by gay men. "Oh yeah, I'll just walk up to him and say 'hey you're hot, wanna be friends?' Like we used to do in kindergarten?" You say sarcastically, not in a mean way though. You don't know what you did to make Eryk think you're confident at all, you can only imagine all the embarrassing things that could happen in a situation like that.

"Exactly like that!" Eryk says with a giggle.
"I'll give you 20 Bucks if you go up and talk to himmm!" Eryk says in a sing-songy voice with a mischievous smile. You think about it, 20 bucks is a lot for a 16 year old kid,I mean, imagine how many monsters you could buy with 20 bucks! And all you have to do is talk to him?

You take out your course sheet and walk up to Toby "uh hey, I know this sounds weird but just moved to this school, but do you know where any of these classes are?" You say in an almost shy manner. Why the hell are you acting like this? He's just attractive, it's not like you have a crush on him or anything! You just thought he was hot! Toby looks at the course sheet, "yeah, I have three classes with you. If you want to I can walk you to them?" Toby says as he twitches a bit. He seems a bit awkward. You pay no mind to the twitches and smile at Toby "thank you! And I don't think I caught your name?" You say as you tilt your head a bit. "Toby. Yours?" Toby says. He seems kind of stand offish. You wonder if you did come off as weird? "Y/n, and I'm sorry if I came off as weird." You said as you let out an awkward chuckle. "You're good Y/n." Tobi says with an equally awkward smile. It seems as though you're both just as awkward as eachother and you're not sure that's a good or a bad thing. Just as you think that the bell rings.
