[A New Perspective] (II AU)

Part 10: The new student.

[Mentions of swears and bullying]

Reader's POV

The tall person saw Keith peaking , they shoved the yellow background mephone to their pocket and ran out the door. Keith could heard an oof when the phone got shoved. Mason was at Keith's pocket but they saw everything.

"Wow, not even a week and found 2 people that have a mephone. Are you a mephone magnet?" Mason was excited but tired as they didn't get enough charging that morning, it was only at 42%. Keith rolled his eyes and went out to go to his class, social studies. The quiz was simple, the teacher ask a question, the students answer via texting and who got the most right wins a chocolate bar.

Keith sat at his table in class and saw the new student in the front row. He stand trying to greet them but- "Oh! You must be new? Well i'm-" Rianna. She went in the classroom even though she isn't in Keith's class. Rianna looked at Keith and her friendly smile went away. Then she whispered something at the new student, Keith knew she was talking sh- "Well goodbye and good luck new kiddo!" She walks out the class and looked at Keith with a devious smile.

He sat back down and sighed, knowing that talking to the new student is gonna be harder than before. The teacher came and before starting the quiz, they saw the new student and asked them to introduce themselves. They sighed and went to the front of the class. "Hello everyone. I'm Patrick Brush, nice to meet y'all??" Pat confused at the last part, making their voice cracked. Only a few laughed at it, making them emmbarased and immediately sat down.

The teacher quiet the class and began the quiz. Even though Keith is a victim in bullying, terrible at making friends and mostly laid back, he is quite smart and have a good memory.( I wish I have good memory :'[ ) After the quiz, Keith won the quiz, making everyone sighed as they knew Keith gonna win. Keith got the chocolate bar from the teacher than the bell rang.

Last class, science. Keith went to his locker to get his things and saw Pat. Keith knew it's gonna be hard but first impressions are important. "Hey? Your Patrick yes?" The tall figure startles at the sudden voice. "Uhh yeah, just Pat or Rick is fine though." Keith just smiles and replied. "My names Keith Herons, and before anything, Rianna is a beautiful but a bastard person, that lying, gas lighting a$$. And if anything, don't believe a $hit she says." Keith accidentally clenched his fist just at the thought of her sometimes. But he sighed and went to his locker.

"Thanks, for telling me." Pat began to walk away to class. Then Keith followed with books. Keith's least favorite subject is science, not because there's a lot of work or anything, more like the opposite. He always liked science but after the last teacher quit, the new one doesn't care about learning. So, the class was always in chaos when it's science time. Keith usually go through his phone but he just doodles now.

Mason peeked from Keith's pocket. "it looks cool" it whispered. "Thanks" Then a shadow looms over Keith, he look up to see Pat standing above his desk. They immediately took their chair at sat in front of Keith. "Uhh, what are you doodling?" Rick asked, then looking at Keith's sketchbook. "Oh, just some randomness heheh." Keith laughed nervously while hiding the notebook. Mason eavesdrop and decided to do something. It calls Pat's phone, causing them panicking on who's calling them. "Wha- hold a sec willya." They storms out the classroom to answer the call, the teacher cared less.

"Hello, who is this?" Rick asked the caller. "Hello! I want to ask, if your willing to wait as long as you'd like to win a million dolla-" Just before Mason finished, Pat ended the call. "Oh cmon Painterz. You gotta let others finish first!" The yellow phone talked. Keith decided to peak on Pat and saw the phone clearly, a black phone with a yellow background and a lightbulb sticker on their back. Keith looked long enough and just forget about it until Pat is comfortable to talk about it.

1:36 pm.

Keith walks home but stopped at the store that they went to yesterday. He wonders if he ever asked for their name, but he'll just ask his mom since their friends. He got a drink, paid and went home.

"Mom I'm home!" But no answer. He checked the kitchen to find a note, he sure did found one. "Sorry sweetheart! Ma really need to go somewhere, I hope you don't burn your hand again if you try to cook! -love, mom " She always like this but, Keith doesn't care about it since he don't like confronting people, only when he's determined. He went upstairs, put his bag on the floor, placed Mason on the bedside table to recharge and thus, Keith sleeps as he was tired of the new people that he met in just two days, he just want to relax.
