Brain-Itch/Brain-Split (Kelsey + Tony)

5/3/23
Tony and Kelsey are 14 in this.

Kelsey and Tony walked through the track next to each other, Kelsey would have been off sprinting and Tony would probably be skipping class in the locker room, fuck pe. But that's what happens when they're the only people in pe they know, they often found themselves being partners with each other cause Tony didn't wanna talk to people and Kelsey found everyone teaming up with people they already know so they always found each other. Kelsey wasn't too insufferable to Tony and Tony stopped being such a gremlin to Kelsey after a bit.

But this only started happening three months ago, Kelsey had a lot of chaotic energy and Tony had a little bit of chaotic energy he shoved down until he needed it. "Kelsey, I swear to god the moment Craig isn't here you go off the haymakers..."Tony commented as Kelsey was taking her jacket from around her neck "What?! It's funny!" "Pretending to hang yourself is not funny! Jesus Christ was you doing that in September not enough for you?!" "Not my fault my counselor can't joke" "Damnit Kelsey!".

Tony lifted his sunglasses up to rub his eyes while walking, this was normal for them. Kelsey would make a concerning joke that would 9 times out of 10 get her in trouble and Tony would have to drag her out of it, "You know what, that's it. After months I finally found a solution to your...Kelseyness, I simply ignore you"Tony smirked as he ran with Kelsey "Ignore me?! I'm your only friend in this class so good luck!".

So far, Tony's plan was working. He was staring at random things, flowers, the grass, gum someone spit out on the track. Then there was Kelsey, doing what she always did when Tony was around, her daily concerning jokes Tony was pretending wasn't happening. Until she realized she had no one to talk to and was becoming bored, "C'mon Tony, my jokes aren't that concerning, look!"Kelsey then got her water bottle and held it to Tony's head like a gun, he still stayed silent.

"Okayyyy, welp gaslighting can only get sooo faaarrr!"Kelsey skipped through the track not expecting much from Tony but he stopped walking, stayed in the position he was walking in then slowly turned his head to Kelsey. "How do you know that...?"Tony slowly spoke, eyes full of fear, concern and questions. "Know what?"Kelsey asked continuing her skipping and keeping her smile. "T-That! What you said..."Tony's words shook along with him as he kept his same shock.

After thinking for a bit, Kelsey realized her lucky guess. "I...I said that in a, very private group chat...Gaslighting can only get you so far..."Tony mumbled the phrase under his breath. Kelsey stayed silent realizing what she had done to Tony, she had perfectly predicted what Tony said at a moment she wasn't even there in the exact way Tony spoke it. Tony's walking got slower as the shock shook around his brain trying to figure out how she must have knew that. "D-Did Angel tell you...? Was it just a lucky guess?"Tony tried saying but Kelsey kept walking with her hands behind her back.

Kelsey had been ignored plenty of times, but she never thought she'd have a loop around it. Eventually pe was over and it was time to head for the locker rooms, Kelsey was sure Tony would figure out she was just fucking with him and forget about it by tomorrow.

Time skip

Almost bedtime and Kelsey could never feel so bored, so she rolled over to her phone and checked her messages in the group chat. Previously she had mentioned what she did and Tony had just responded to them.

'SHE IS IN MY WALLS'

'I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW SHE GUESSED THAT, MY BRAIN IS SPLITTING IN TWO AS I TYPE THIS'

Kelsey lightly giggled to herself, "He's alright".

The next day

Lunch rolled around and for once Kelsey decided to sit with Tony, later Angel walked by them, Tony saw Angel and turned around, looked them dead in the eye. "Angel, I will ask this once again, did you tell her...". "Nope, you sure it wasn't a lucky guess?" "Who the fuck guesses something someone said in a very private group chat and says it the exact same way the same person did?!".

Kelsey sat there eating her soup before slurping the broth, "Tony, do I make cha brain itch? If so, then there really isn't any use ignoring me". "Christ...I tried ignoring her so she'd stop the jokes that get her in trouble but she managed to loop around that, are you really in my walls or is this a prank I don't know about?". Kelsey shrugged her shoulders.

After lunch Kelsey sat in her Spanish class per usual next to Jane before the teacher came in, saying something about them having to pair up with the person next to them. Jane sighed and turned to Kelsey twirling her manicured nails around her purple hair, she cut out the cards and gave them to Kelsey to match. "So what's new?"Kelsey asked looking down "Not much, Eliza and George are skipping class again"Jane shrugged matching the English words with the Spanish words "Not surprised, by the way I broke your boyfriend"Kelsey shrugged. "How did you do that?"Jane looked up unlike Kelsey who was focused on matching.

She explained what she did with a smile, she admitted it was a lucky guess and that Tony would realize she was just screwing with him.

"no le hagas asi..."Jane dragged her palm down her face sighing, (Translation: 'don't do him like that...') "Why not? It's funny! He's alright" "Is him saying his brain is splitting in two a sign of being alright? He's probably convinced you're in his house, he doesn't know how you work all he knows is that you work"Jane said as Kelsey shrugged.

Two days later

Maybe Jane was right, no Jane was definitely right. Tony really wasn't shaking it off and was still in shock, "Told you, now go and tell him it was just a lucky guess"Jane pointed at Tony in the parking lot laying on the top of Boris's car.

"Fiiinnee!"Kelsey groaned then walked to the parking lot, Jane was correct and there she saw Tony laying on the top of Boris's car. So this is where he went when he had free period she didn't know what to say. She climbed next to Tony on the car, "You suntanning?"Kelsey started the conversation blowing her side ponytail out her face "You could say that...Free period can get pretty boring, aren't you supposed to be in English?" "We're not doing anything important, I came to see you" "Thought you always see me cause you seem to be in my walls and yes Kelsey you do make my brain itch"Tony sighed.

Kelsey sat up on the car and stretched the back of her neck, "About that, uhh...Tony what I said back at the track was really just a lucky guess, I just didn't tell you cause I thought it'd be funny and I assumed you'd figure out I was just screwing with you..."Kelsey sighed. Tony shot himself up "What?!" "Don't get mad at me! You're a smart guy, I don't know I just thought it was funny!"Kelsey threw her hands up in surrender. "Jesus Christ Kelsey!"Tony threw his hands around Kelsey's neck in an angry but light choke "I said I'm sorry!".

Back at the school building, Angel and Jane stood next to each other watching. "You think they're okay?"Angel asked pointing to Tony and Kelsey, Jane stared out the window watching the whole thing. She knew damn well her boyfriend was choking out a girl that made him think was actually in his walls but she smiled "She's alright".
