close enough, lynn loud

3, mike owens is nervous?

You wanted to watch Lynn practice after class but you had to stay behind and help out settle student council affairs. You were one of the senior council members.

You've been an assistant the last three years but in your senior year, you finally got promoted to an honorary member. I guess those last few years being an assistant paid off.

You say goodbye to the members and head out when somebody stops you. It was Mike.

"Hey, (Y/N)!" he calls out.

You were right outside the field now, you were hoping to catch Lynn and finally go home.

"Hey, Mike." you greet him with a small smile.

You forgot about what he said earlier. You wouldn't have even remembered if he didn't show up now. I guess I just gotta face this head-on. All I need to say is I'm not interested. That's it.

"Did you forget we were meeting up?"

"What? No, of course not." you laugh awkwardly.

He places a hand on the nape of his neck. "The truth is..."

-

"Look, it's (Y/N)."

"Miss (L/N) right on time to pick her girl up," Alya says suggestively. Lynn elbows her in the stomach.

"Shut up." she says as if she wasn't grinning at the fact you were here to pick her up. Lynn was packing up her bag when she heard President Annoying say something.

"Hey, she's with Mike." Kiley points out.

This makes Lynn whip her head up to find that you were in fact, with Mike. What's she doing with him?

"Woah, Mike looks nervous for once." another one of her teammates says.

And shit, he does. Mike Owens was nervous? What a sight to behold. What was he telling you?

"No way, he isn't confessing, is he?"

"Aw, Kiley, you might have competition."

Lynn quickly shoves everything in her bag, not even minding everything was a mess. She would just have to deal with it later. Right now, she was going straight to you.

"Woah, someone's in a rush." Alya says.

"You scared, Lynnie? Scared your besties gonna leave you for Mikey?" Kiley teased and she knew she was getting under Lynn's skin cause Lynn looked like she was on the verge of raging. She really needed to work on her anger issues.

"I'm not scared. She's just my ride home that's why I'm going." Lynn replies cooly. Suppressing her emotions like a good citizen. "Bye, guys."

"Bye, Lynn!"

Everybody says their goodbyes and Lynn makes her way towards you. Way faster than she should be considering you were only outside the field's fence.

-

"The truth is..." he stalls.

"What?" you say impatiently.

"I like Lynn."

Oh.

You stand there in shock. It takes you a few seconds to recover.

"What?" was all you could muster up to say. Mike Owens pulled me out for a chat after school to tell me he liked the girl I was in love with?

"You guys are close right?" Mike said.

"I- uhm. Yeah." you're looking down now.

"I just wanted to ask if you could maybe... I don't know, talk me up to her?" he says. "Y'know me, right, (Y/N)?"
