it's you

...

"Hey, L/n, are you...okay?"

"Huh?" Y/n sat up to face their classmate and good friend, Maya. "Oh yeah, I'm fine."

"You're really jittery and stuff. Do you need to pis-"

"NO!" They cut her off, an embarrassed tint of pink coating their face.

"Then what? You're not usually this excited." Maya furrowed her brows, then gasped. "OH MY GOSH DO YOU LIKE THE TEACHER?!"

"WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THESE IDEAS FROM?" Despite themselves, Y/n couldn't help but laugh. "No! No I don't!"

"Then why are you so excited, I wanna knowww" Maya dragged out the end, slowly sliding toward you.

"I found out an online friend goes to this school." Y/n gave in and told her, a grin painting their face.

"Oh, I thought maybe it was something else. Like you finally got revenge on that guy that made fun of you in fifth period yesterday."

"Oh I did"

"..."

"..."

"...without me?"

"Don't worry, someone recorded it and sent it to me." You smiled again, though this one was more...well...

"Really? Send it to me."

"I was planning to but okay"

"What did you even do?" Maya raised an eyebrow.

"I pushed them down the stairs in the front of the school and may have said a few things to them."

"...Y/n." Maya's voice held a hint of concern. "You didn't curse them out, right?"

"Of course I did lmao"

----------------------------------------------------

Y/n did make plans to meet with Reki and Langa at lunch on the roof. Except Langa doesn't know.

They had texted Reki yesterday, both of them expressing their excitement. I mean, it's rare that one of your online friends turns out to be a schoolmate.

The remaining three periods until lunch stretched incredibly long. Well they always do but this time felt like years had gone by.

Especially math.

Whoever had decided that Y/n should have math in the morning deserves one of those peeling skin things next to their nail. And for their pillow to have no cold sides. And just a bad pillow in general.

Finally, it was the last period before lunch. Y/n was mainly staring at random objects and spacing out to pass the time.

until.

"L/n, would you care to answer this question?" The teacher asked, staring directly at them.

"...No, I really wouldn't."

"That wasn't an option."

"Then why did you ask?"

"Just- just answer the question please."

"Okay. Uhh.." Y/n peered at the board, having forgotten what class this was. Apparently it was history.

"What year was the Bubonic plague believed to have started?" Y/n repeated the question.

"Yes, that is the question, now would you be so kind to provide us with an answer?" The teacher sighed. "Don't say no."

"Um? Why is this the question you're asking?" Y/n scrunched their eyebrows.

"Because we've been going over this topic for the past two weeks. Do you know the answer or not?"

"Nope." Y/n replied, popping the p.

"i swear teaching is the death of me i need a different job," the teacher muttered quietly, but loud enough for Y/n to hear. "1347. It was 1347."

The rest of the period passed by quickly- mostly because the teacher didn't call on them anymore.

---------------------------------

ring.

it seems the bell is still broken. they should really get that fixed. Y/n thought as they waited, because the teacher pulled that "tHe BeLL DoEsNt DiSmIsS yOu I dO" act.

"And does any one have any more questions?"

no.

"You sure? Don't come crying to me later when you get a bad score on the test."

don't worry i won't

"Alright, if that's all settled, you can go now."

That was all Y/n needed to hear, as they grabbed their stuff and zoomed out the door.

After putting their stuff away and grabbing their lunch, they walked up to the roof and looked around.

Not seeing anyone, but hearing a faint chatter by the wall next to the stairwell entrance or whatever it's called idk, Y/n had a good idea of where they were.

They peeked around the wall, seeing the two males eating french fries with the ketchup box cup things on their skateboard.

"boo." they muttered, just loud enough for the two to hear, greeting them like a normal person would. They remained hidden behind the wall.

"Is someone watching us?" Langa spoke first.

"yes....yes i am......" y/n muttered again.

"Who are you???" Reki looked genuinely creeped out, glancing around a bit.

"i am........iron man."

It was silent for a bit and kind of awkward. Damn, they had no sense of humor.

"nah i'm just playing it's me." Y/n walked out from behind the wall, shooting finger guns to both of them. "wazzup motherfuckers"

"Y/n?!" Langa's eyes widened.

"Y/n, you're actually here!" Reki grinned widely.

"Hey pretty boys!" Y/n grinned, their eyes sparkling. "You're even prettier in real life what??"

"Why didn't you tell us you went here?" Langa asked, as they sat in front of the boys and took their sandwich out...of their pocket...

"because i didn't know you guys went here." Y/n shrugged, while Reki looked at them with a face of confusion and disgust.

"did- did you just take your sandwich out of your pocket?"

"Yeah why?"

"How- That's a footlong"

"yep"

Now both boys looked at Y/n with confusion.

"Don't worry about it though. Reki, pass me a fry?" Y/n held a hand out, and Reki nodded, placing a fry in their hand.

"You used to skateboard, right Y/n?" Langa spoke again.

"Mhm." Y/n nodded, munching on the french fry. "I told you I wanted to pick it up again."

"Do you still have your board?"

"Yep."

"I think you know where this is going." Reki chimed in, dipping his fry in ketchup before eating it.

"Yeah." Y/n leaned back a bit, looking at the sky. "It'd be nice to skate again."
