I'm not sure how I came to be the person I am today, but I feel life would've been much different if my mother hadn't abandoned me and my father didn't die in that horrible fire 8 years ago...However, I definitely know I would still be sitting here in this classroom all by myself, whilst all the other kids socialised with their cliques and dated every boy or girl they'd ever set their eyes on.
Whilst I'm not the most disliked person in this whole school I'm definitely not liked, Lance made sure of that. I was never really sure what I'd ever done to make him resent me so much, but there is little that can be done as his group is one of the most liked in the school.
But they're not all that bad like for instance Tsuyoshi Garrett is really nice and so is Katie Holt, I've spoken to them quite a couple of times but i wouldn't class myself as their friends. I guess Allura isn't that bad either, just she gives me a sort of vibe that most girls who'd look like her wouldn't give off. Lance McClain however just ruins the group he flirts with a different girl every day like a some sort of playboy and if that didn't scream red flag to you, him and Allura are always on and off what ends up causing drama throughout that whole entire group. Allura deserves much better than him.
I blankly look at the clock that rests above the whiteboard, so it makes me look like i'm actually paying attention to what Professor Montgomery was going on about. Keith.. I swiftly turn my head at the sound of my name, however i must be going mad or something because no one was trying to get my attention.
Keith.. I turn my head around again, and just as i was about to turn back around i see Katie staring at me. At least i'm not going mad.. "Um did you need anything?" i whisper trying not to get caught talking. "Yeah could you swing by my table at lunch and help me with something?" she whispers back with a slight concern on her face. i slowly nod back at her whilst trying to process what just happened "sure.." i trail off and turn back around.
The lesson finally came to an end so i packed up my few belongings i had out and put them back in my bag, then walked out the classroom. I decided i'd give it a couple of minutes until i'd go over to Katie in the cafeteria so i did some little jobs i had forgotten to do before lesson, such as grab my PE kit and fill up my water.
After i grabbed my PE out of my locker i walked over to the cafeteria where Katie should be, "I'm here Katie.." i say as my voice trailed off out of nervousness. "Hey keith thanks for remembering, take a seat and just call me Pidge by the way" She exclaimed with her cheery attitude. "Not to sound in a rush, as i'm not but what did you need me for?" i ask with a genuine look of confusion plastered across my face.
"Right sorry" Pidge was about to continue when the rest of her friends walked over. "Hey Pidge, Keith? what are you doing here?" Tsuyoshi asks Pidge confused on why i'm sitting at there table. "Hii Hunk i was going to tell keith are plan but now that you, Allura and Lance are here it makes it easier to explain" I was a bit confused on why Pidge called Tsuyoshi, Hunk but i'm guessing it's a little nickname like how Pidge has hers.
"Makes sense," Tsuyoshi turned to me "Just call me Hunk" he says as he smiles at me. I told you he was friendly, I was about to ask Pidge to continue but i hadn't noticed a certain aura around the other side of the table. Lance and Allura had sat down right next to me, i gradually turned around to smile at Allura but i was instantly shot down by Lance..
I swiftly turn myself back around to face pidge who was just about to start talking, "..As i was saying the reason why i asked you here keith is that we sort of need your help" Help? My help? i was so confused what could a literal award winning space program kid need my help for?
"My help? i'm not sure i follow.." I mutter in response. A perky voice speaks up "Keith, right? You wouldn't mind if we had a quick private chat would ya?" That thick britsh accent was sometimes so hard to understand, but it was reasonable that she wouldn't want me there i'm not there friend after all.
After a couple of minutes waiting at a different table i hear my name being called, so i walk back over. "Sorry about that Keith," Pidge apologies "You wouldn't mind if we carried on this conversation at your house would you?" I paused for a moment before answering as i was a bit taken back by the question. "Sure.. i have a free period last so i was going to head home anyways" "That's great we'll just get our bags and we'll follow you home" She says as she smiles and turns around to grab her stuff as well as the others.
We ended up leaving the school not long after and started walking back to my house. I wouldn't be lying if i said i was terrified as i was still so unsure on what they wanted from me. Shortly after turning into a neighbourhood what was not that far from the school. We walked up the pathway to my door so i could unlock the door, i looked over at the driveway and realised a car was in. "Adam must be home" I say as i mumble to myself.
I walked into the house with the other closely following behind, "Hey Adam, you wouldn't mind if i had uh some people over would you?.." I ask like i had just committed a murder or something , but just as he was about to respond Lance speaks up "Wait you know you your Adam you work at that famous space program i'm really inspired by you and Tadashi Shiroganes work, But wait what are you doing in Keith's house?" Lance stares at Adam with the most ridiculous look you'd ever seen. "I'm Keith's caretakers boyfriend, i live here with my daughter Romelle but she is out at the moment"
The amount of awkward looks i must've gotten from them could've sent someone into a coma, "And yes Keith's that's fine" I nod in response and lead everyone upstairs. Once in my room we all sit down and Pidge starts off the conversation once again, she's like glue in their friendship i swear.
"Basically Keith we have this problem, we've created this brilliant plan on how Lance and Allura won't have to fake date anymore.. but for that we need a guy to pose as Lances boyfriend to make it look like He turned gay, so then Allura can be free to date this person she likes" Me and Lance shared a glance with each other, even he wasn't impressed with this totally crazy plan but i guess it makes sense as Allura's father was the principal so she wasn't able to date anyone to her free will.
Allura sighs and stares at me "Please Keith.. just consider it" I was already going to yes as it's not like i had anything else to spend the rest of my years at college doing, plus i doubt it would last a that long. A couple of months at least. "Fine.." As soon as i had said that the room erupted with sighs of relief almost like it was a life or death matter. But one thing still bothered me though, Why me? They could've had any of guy in the hole school but it was me they chose, There up to something and i know it.
