Hidden In High School ~ (Garroth x Reader)

Bad Puns ~ Chapter 12

Your POV

Me and Garroth pretended nothing happened at lunch. Best to just forget, right?

"Hey guys!" Aphmau chirped as she sat down. I did my best to smile at her. "Guys, I had the best steak last night!" She giggled. "I've never had steak." Garroth said. She gasped. I smirked. "This is one, beefy conversation..." 

Garroth face palmed, and for the first time ever, Aph frowned. I just sat there, grinning like a fool. "No. Just-Just no. Stop. Please no." Aph said seriously. Garroth then grinned. "A steak pun is a rare medium. Well done." He said. "NO. NO STOP." Aph repeated. "I relish the fact that you have mustard the strength to ketchup to me." I replied. "Oh that one was good," Garroth admitted. "But my friend quit her job at the doughnut factory last night. She was fed up with the hole business."

I stared him down for a second. "Have you ever tried to eat a clock? It's very time consuming." I finally said. "Don't go there." He said. "Clocks really tick me off."

I burst out laughing. I began clapping, "That.. oh my Irene that was beautiful... creds to you.. oh, I'm tearing up..." I laughed. Aphmau had her face stuffed into her lunch box somehow. After I recovered from my fit of laughter, I leaned close to Aphmau, whose hands were covering her eyes.

I whispered. "Stop covering your face with your hands." She got up, and marched off. Garroth laughed. "More puns?" He asked, before continuing. "Maybe it's time I should clock out of here." 
"GAH! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET YOU TO SHUT UP!" I yelled. That was ironic because he is known as the boy who never speaks, so everyone looked at me. "What?" I asked. They all turned and resumed their eating.

"So Garroth," I said. "The watchmaker had a daughter. They called her Second Hand Rose." I said. He groaned. "You win! YOU WIN! I give up!" He said with his hands surrendered in the air. "HAHA! I am the Queen of puns! I conquer thee!" I yell, standing up. He pushed me back down. "There are five more minutes left of lunch. Eat." He said grumpily. I giggled at his frustration and proceeded to eat my sub. "Where did Aph go?" I asked. Garroth's eyes scanned the room. Umm.. there." He said, pointing. I followed his finger and "*HUGE GASP*". "Look! Look look look! She bumped into Laurence! And she's- she's- BLUSHING!" I giggled. "She like LAURENCE!" I added.

"Is that a good thing?" Garroth asked. "Of course. It'll help him get over me, you know?" I said. He leaned over the table and pushed back a strand of hair. "Yeah.." He finally said. "OOJOHDUWIUHDI MY OTP!" Aphmau suddenly appeared, seemingly in shock. "What the bloody hell is an O-T-P?" Garroth asked. "EEEEH! I shipped it! My ship is officially in the water!" She shrieked. "One True Pairing" I whispered. "She wanted us to be together." 
Garroth mouthed an "Oh" and she continued to fangirl. "Speaking of ships.." I said with a mischievous voice, "I know you like Laurence." 

She gasped, and blushed crimson. (Guys I DO NOT! EVER AT ALL SHIP LARMAU, MMKAY?) "N-NO!" She stammered. Me and Garroth laughed. "We should call it.. ah, Larmau!" I said, and her blush became deeper. "Do you think he likes me back?" She whispered. "I think it's worth a shot." I replied. She skipped off to Irene knows where after that.

"Lar-Mau?" Garroth asked. I rolled my eyes. "Ship name." I said. "Hey Garroth?" "Yeah, (f/n)?" 
"Remember that day that I was going on a date with Laurence?" I ask randomly. "Yeah-huh." He replied. "What did you mumble. After you complimented me?" I ask. He blushed. "I said.. more uh than usual.." He muttered shyly. "Oh, so you said 'You look beautiful... more than usual'?" I asked, smirking. "Shut up." He laughed. I grinned sheepishly at him. "I think you are beautiful as well." I joked. He laughed.

What an odd lunch.

I know, I know, I suck at fillers. Sorry.
