Crushes

|Hi, guys!! This was fun, but super hurried, so sorry if it's bad. Short High School Broppy AU!!:)|

Poppy was the popular kid.

Every guy wanted to be the first one to her chair to pull it out for her, or the first one to the stairs to help her down them (and maybe sneak a little kiss onto her soft pink hand) and everyone always wanted to be the first at lunch to offer her lunch money.

Poppy was a princess. Literally. The king's daughter. But there was also a special something about her that made her stand out to everyone. Maybe her selflessness, or maybe her desire for good in the world, or maybe it was just that she played hard to get.

She had always had a lot of boyfriends. But she didn't really have true feelings for any except for one.

Creek.

The coolest kid in school, next to her of course. If everyone didn't admire him so much, they'd probably hate him for stealing their queen all the time. They were always on dates, posting about each other, talking about each other.

Creek was a supposedly sweet guy with an adorable accent. Poppy was the precious princess who completed his life.

It all seemed right.

Until it wasn't.

Poppy had broken up with him.

No one knew why, not even Creek himself. But he was going to find out.

And in the midst of this, was Branch.

Branch wasn't the total nerd of school, no, Archer was that.

But he was close. In science class he built cool robots instead of doing experiments, and he was always testing his creations on his teacher.

Branch was known, however, for always bringing bad luck. His machines exploded, the water fountain sprayed in his face, the toilet was clogged when he walked into the bathroom stall (it wasn't him, he swears!), and nothing ever seemed to go right for this blue troll.

Branch was technically the laughing stock of the school. He would walk in and everyone would point at him and chuckle. But they enjoyed his company. Branch was one of the people who kept school interesting, and kept them laughing (even if it was at him) though they'd never admit it.

But he ignored it all. He kept his blue eyes down as he walked down the halls, opened his lockers, and got ready to go to class.

Usually, if he ignored them, no one really bothered him.

But one guy who couldn't resist poking fun at him was always Creek.

And, since Poppy broke up with him, he had gotten worse.

"Getting ready to ace math class again, Mr. Teacher's Pet?" Creek teased, leaning against and shutting Branch's locker.

"Yes, actually. Counts for half of our grade this semester." Branch raised an eyebrow at him. "Or did you already know that?"

He knew Creek didn't.

Creek flushed, sputtering. "Don't be dumb! Of course I knew that! I- uh, I'll be right back! Don't move, Toilet Timmy."

So while Creek went off to persuade someone to give him their answers for the math test he didn't study for, "Toilet Timmy" went off to math, and sat beside his table partner.

"Hi, Branch!" Poppy greeted enthusiastically.

"Hi, Princess Poppy," Branch replied, getting his schoolwork ready and avoiding her eye contact at all times.
