❝ i wish that i could be like the cool kids ❞
ONCE a month, Royal Woods Middle School dedicates the whole eight hours in the school day to pure fun and enjoyment. Students got to choose what they want to do, though the options were limited: dance, movie, board games, bingo, or read in the library.
That day was today, and it would be the second incentive since last month's incentive.
Normally, Juniper would go for the library, but her friends' relentless urging had finally convinced her to choose the dance, which wasn't even a proper dance, just a crowd of people, and a DJ.
"I'm so excited!" squealed Clara, intertwining hers and Juniper's arms together.
On the other hand, Dahlia and Ryker showed no interest, just going through the motions until the day's end.
"You're literally the only one excited," Dahlia said from behind the two girls. Clara huffed in response.
"I'm only going 'cause I get to listen to music," Ryker interjected, earning himself a nod of agreement from all the girls.
"Also because he's going to be there..." he hesitated. The three girls gave each other a look before groaning in complaint.
"What?!" asked Ryker.
Juniper sighed. If he wanted to know, then sure. "He did you so dirty, I literally ugly cried for you, it was so bad!"
They settled on the gym bleachers, which was the designated spot for the dance. There was a few people, but not a lot, so they thought they were probably early.
"Not what I was expecting, but okay..." Ryker shrugged, still not listening to his friends.
Dahlia's patience had worn thin, and Ryker's constant yapping about a certain closeted class clown who was widely resented had pushed her to the edge. "Bro, stop being so fucking delusional. Just because y'all kissed, or whatever it was that y'all did, doesn't mean he's your man. That man is not your man! He's literally dating three girls right now."
Ryker shoved his hands in his pockets. "So? I can fix him!"
"You aren't Bob the Builder, Ry. I love you, but you've gotta stop letting him do you so dirty," Juniper spoke in a soft tone, a clear difference from Dahlia's harsh one. Juniper shot Ryker a comforting smile, which he had failed to return.
