"Guiding Light" Judd Birch x reader

For the first time in almost two weeks, Y/n was actually not dreading her mentor session.

That thursday , she relished in the fact that the sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach was gone almost entirely. She went through her classes like normal, and when the final bell of the day rang, she walked to the library with ease in her step.

She knew they probably wouldnt be doing any work today, she was just relieved to know one of the most dangerous students in the school didnt hate her guts.

When Judd trudged into the library shorty after she unpacked her things, y/n mumbled a small 'hello'. He hummed in response, sitting down across from her like before.

It was quiet between them for a few moments, but not an awkwardly silent.

"What exactly do I need to do to graduate from this shit hole?" Judd asked suddenly.

Y/n perked up.

"You need to recoverrrr" She trailed off, quickly plucking a folder out of her bookbag and rifling through it.

"-5 courses. It sounds like a lot but if we hustle, I could see them getting finished around ten weeks from now." Y/n remarked. Judd kept his face stoic, y/n did too.

Internally he groaned. Ten weeks of extra school was not in his plan for the year, he had numerous other projects he could be spending his time on.

"But." A voice squeaked from besides him.
"Doing the work now would save you from an extra year of high school, meaning you get to trade school asap!"

When Judd looked over, he noticed a small green goblin-looking thing in the seat next to him that he hadn't noticed before when he walked in.

"Who the fuck are you?" Judd narrowed his eyes.

"Petra." She held up her hand, the sleeve of her little pantsuit riding up on her wrist.
"Im your new ambition grimlin."

"Welcome to the team Petra." Maury smirked, throwing his hand in place of Judd's and shaking it vigorously.
"And by the team I mean me."

"Enough with pleasantries." Pretra said firmly, jumping onto the table.

"You my edgy friend," She pointed at Judd.

"have a goal, and this gorgeous young lady," She gestured at y/n.

"-is going to help you achieve that. Work with her." She urged.

Judd looked at Petra, then y/n, then Maury, then Petra, then Maury again.

"Finish school, then finish in HER." Maury grinned, punctuating his sentence with a couple thrusts of his groin.

Judd rolled his eyes before huffing a bit, then he turned back to y/n.

He did really want to graduate on time. And he also felt the slightest bit bad for wasting y/n's time.

"Show me what I have to do." He said seriously.

"Really?" Y/n was taken aback.

Judd nodded firmly, reaching into his pocket a pulling out a pencil.

Y/n stretched her back as she got out of her car. Her and Judd ended up staying after school a bit longer than intended to curate a planned schedule as well as get started with the first course, physics.

"That boy is no Einstein, but hes not too bad in the right situation." Mira, Y/n's ambition grimlin commented as y/n unlocked the front door to her home.

"How well he can calculate speed is beyond us, as long as he can eat pussy as well as he counts." Mona replied, filing in after the two.

"I mean just look at him! He's majestic! and his hands are large and veiny!"

"Hush Mona." Y/n mumbled, walking into the kitchen.

"Hi moma." Y/n smiled, resting at the isle and taking in the sight of her mother hovering over a boiling pot.

"Welcome back, y/n, how'd mentoring go?" She turned around, pointing her wooden spoon at y/n.

"Better than it has before, we got some actual work done today."

"Im glad, we can talk about it at the table. Go tell your brother dinner will be ready in 10." She hummed, turning back to the stove. Y/n nodded, running upstairs and knocking on her younger brother's door.

"Hey. Stop jerking off in there, dinner is almost ready." She stated against the wooden door before snickering and jogging to her room.

Closing the door behind her, y/n plopped down on her bed. Then after a moment she leaned down and reached under her bed, pulling out a small box. Opening the box, y/n began to hum as she quickly rolled two blunts. It was basically second nature at this point, the tucking of the kush between the paper. Then as she poked her tongue between her lips to seal the second blunt, her phone buzzed.

Y/n paused, eyes darting to the screen.

'what books do I need for tomorrow.'

y/n let out a small 'mm' before going back to closing her blunt, deciding to answer his text in a moment. Then she froze.

"How did he get my number???"
