Tuesday

(Y/n)'s POV

I walk through the doors of my math class, and go to sit down in my seat.

I place my binder down on the desk.

Lynn had already been there, as usual.

I tap my pencil on the desk as I wait for the second bell to ring, and for the teacher to enter the classroom so I can just get this last class over with.

As I waited, I heard Lynn clear her throat, before she had spoken, "Hi."

I turn my head, "Oh, hey."

I turn to look at the front of the classroom.

The silence was loud. Why was Lynn being so awkward?

Just a few moments after, the bell rang, and Mr. Cunningham, the math teacher, entered the classroom.

"Good afternoon. For today we're going to do a study guide because you have a test this Friday. As usual, you'll be working with the person next to you, and on both Wednesday and Thursday we'll go over the answers and discuss them a bit more."

He picks up a stack of papers from his desk, and begin passing them out.

Fifteen minutes later

I sigh, as I tap my heel on the floor, "I don't get this. Do you?" I ask Lynn as I look over at her.

She looked just as clueless and helpless as me.

"Yeah, (y/n), I don't understand this either. But we still have to try." She said in a tired tone.

"I know, I know. It just feels like he expects us to just-"

"-Know the answers right away?" Lynn interrupts.

I nod my head, "Exactly! I get he's been teaching us this for a week, but the way he explains it just makes it make less and less sense. It's like adding dirt on the adhesive side of a sticker and expecting it to stick."

Lynn chuckled, and nodded, "Agreed."

"Finally something we can agree on." I thought.

____________

The rest of the day went on alright. I came to school not late, I made a friend, I was civil with Lynn, and finally, I get to talk with my... Well... Him...

I giggled at the thought as I walked home.

It wasn't far. Maybe a ten or fifteen minute walk at best.

_____________

I enter the house, closing the door behind me, "Dad! I'm home!" I said as I took my jacket off and hung it up.

I had gotten no response.

"Dad?" I say as I begin to walk around the house.

"Maybe he's at work..." I mutter quietly to myself.

I inhale deeply, and sigh. And then I remembered my eagerness to come home, and immediately smiled.

I take my phone out of my pocket, unlocking it.

I was about to text Tyler when I got a notification from my inbox.

I furrow my eyebrows, and click on the notification.

"Lj__l0udd started following you"

Lynn? Why did she follow me? Aren't we enemies or something..?

Then again, we did have a decent interaction earlier today.

I just shrug, and follow her back. What could go wrong?

A/N:

I'm so so sorry that I had y'all waiting. I've been really busy this week with schoolwork, and it's stressing me out. 😭

Anyway, I shouldn't be too busy this weekend or next week, so expect more chapters! :)

Feel free to give feedback!

TikTok is in the description. 🤍
