-[Chloe PricexReader]- All Over Again ~Life Is Strange~

Chap 22: Boys or Girls?

  While tumbling into the room, she grabs your leg harshly, pulling you down with her. You balance yourself by grasping onto the handle of the well placed couch, avoiding the fall. Chloe loses her grip on your pants as she plummets face first onto the floor of your dorm.
  "Owie." She props herself up, rubbing her forehead which had gotten hit twice within 30 seconds.
  "You should've let me help you."  "Yeah, well it's too late now, you don't have rewind powers."  She said as she stands up, holding her arms up trying to herself while staggering  back and fourth. you expected for her to have a'smoother' entrance.
  "Now can you tell me why are-"
  'Sh, sh, sh. Wait a sec." She shushes you as she rubs her temples in a slow pace, shutting you out with the other hand in the air. When she was finished, she turns around and flashes you a crooked grin, her eyebrows furrowed, still in slight pain. You crossed your arms, mildly irritated by her childish and stubborn behavior.
  "What the hell do you want Chloe? Didn't we spend enough time today?" Not using the time to show her hurt, she doesn't say anything, she simply takes you by the hand and pulls you out of your dorm room. As the two of you rushed through the hallways, you snapped your head back, seeing the door still a bit ajar. The only sounds being heard are Chloe's boots and your vans shoes tapping against the carpeted floor as the two of you ran through the halls. She slowly lets go of your hand when she arrives in font of the entrance.
  "Splish splash right? And I'm getting the money, no matter what Max says." She opens the door, letting you out before she does. Standing outside the dormitory building, the same crickets still chirping made you question by how much energy they had in them.
  As Chloe walks slowly towards the building you recently exited, you fastened the pace of your footsteps.
  "Could we go a little faster? It's already this late."  "Exactly, it's already this late, so why be in a hurry?"
She replies, which annoyed you, she had a bullshit reason for every.fucking.thing.
  Both of you entered the familiar yellow walled room. Chloe opens the door of the principal's office without breaking a sweat, surprisingly no alarms as well. Walking into the office, Chloe heads straight for the desk. Instead, you walked towards the safe behind the desk, opening it, you asked Chloe.
  "You were a student here before right?"  As Chloe pulls out the envelope that contained out of the drawer and closing it, she answers your question before a smirk forms on her lips due to accomplishment.
  "As much as I hate to admit it that I had my academic education her. Yes, I did. Why?"
  "So you have a student file here..." Shuffling through the files in the safe, you hoped to find one containing all the information about the infamous Chloe Price.
  "I do, and I'm just as curious as you are of what my file says" She strolls beside you, waiting for you to find her file.
  "It's the one with the ripped corner." She says after noticing you unable to find her file after a large amount of time
  "Why ripped?"   "Why ask?" She replies. which had your eyes rolling backwards.  "Do that again and you might even find a brain there!"  You gave her the bird as you took out the folder in the right description, grinning in pride.
  "Chloe Elizabeth Prize. Wow, Elizabeth."
  "Don't.you.dare.EVER.call.me.that." Pausing after every word, she glares at you in slight annoyance before shifting her gaze back onto her personal student file. You looked at her GPA which had your head flying backwards in laughter, eyes watering. Chloe furrowed her eyebrows, confused about the reason of your amusement. After calming down, you took a glance at her GPA again, snorting, threatening to break out another laugh.
  "Y-your G-G-PA, on-ne p-point- HAHAHAHA" You started laughing again, unable to contain yourself. Chloe this time decides to join you.
  "I know, and I ain't even ashamed. Now SHUT UP. So I can read the rest of this unholy article." You tried your hardest to contain yourself before continuing to read the file about the punk standing beside you, slightly breathing onto your neck which tickled you. You looked at her student file photo, seeing she used to have blonde hair, you had admit she looked much better now with the azure blue hair.
  "Chloe Price, a student with great potential, but chooses to put her efforts into empty rebellion. Tsk Tsk, bad Chloe." You said as you looked at Chloe with the corner of your eye. Sh proceeds to widen her grin.
  "It's not empty if it was worth it."
  "See attached police reports. Ooo, what're those?" You cooed in curiosity whilst flipping to the next page. Chloe shuts it immediately before you could take in even a gist of the information.
  "Oh my, oh my. Is Chloe Price being shy?"   "Shut the hell up. It's not worth reading."   "Yeah yeah, whatever." Putting the file back into the safe then closing the door, making sure no evidence of the two of you being there was left. Glancing at her leather pocket, pointing at it before speaking.
  "You got the money?"   "Yeah I did."  After a few moments of awkward silences, Chloe decided to speak out her mind.
  "I'm surprised you're ok with this."  "Ok with what?"  "You know, me taking the money."
  You put your hand up, ascending one finger in the air.
  "One, I'm not, who tells you I am? Second, the money is defiantly not for the handicap. Third, I know how you feel. And last of all,",You paused, catching your breath and lifted a fourth finger. "I don't want you to get hurt by Frank."  "Thanks kid." With that out and said, the two of you left the office, shutting the door. Proceeded walking towards the building of the Blackwell Pool. Taking one key out of many, she opens the door and held it open, gesturing for you to enter. You grabbed the edges of your imaginary dress and bowed, showing your gratitude.
  "M'lady" Chloe said as she tips hers beanie.
  "Gentleman!"  Cutting the medieval crap, the two of you entered the building that Chloe has looked forward to for the whole hight, possibly the whole day. Seeing two vending machines on your right, craving for a can of soda, you took out a few coins from your pocket and paid for a can of coke.
  "Y' Want one?" Asking Chloe as you pressed the button selecting your drink, a satisfying beep that was slightly bit too loud.
  "Nah, either beer or water."  "...Ok?" Taking the sugary drink from the under compartment, you ripped the lid off before taking a big sip, with a loud 'ah', you walked towards Chloe who was looking towards her right. Noticing your approach, she raises her right hand, then the left.
  "Boys or Girls?"  Pointing towards the different locker rooms, you talk while your lips still on the can.
  "How about enter the pool, oh I don't know, through the entrance?" Gesturing towards the door behind her by lifting your can of soda. Chloe rolls her eyes before putting her hands down, clearly unsatisfied with your answer.
  "Dude, I'm offering you the chance to look through the students' lockers, why not take it?"
  "Because I'm pretty much the teacher here and that's just creepy." Obviously, this was Chloe way of asking 'You into boys or girls?'
  "Whatever, I'll go check if the pool's heated." She says as she pushes open the door of the girls' locker room.  "Girls? Ooh-la-la" You said, finding about her 'sexuality'.
  "Aren't the walls of my bedroom filled with boobs obvious enough?" She replies as she enters the pool area. Taking the moment to your advantage, you decided to accept Chloe's offer and look through the lockers. Yes, not creepy. Honestly you weren't interested in any of the girls at the academy, except for Victoria. And when said 'interested', means curious, not romantically. Looking for Victoria's locker, you passed through many lockers that weren't hers, finding many unexpected things, but you decided that you were too old for this teenage drama. Finally finding hers, you opened the navy blue locker in excitement. Except, multiple selfies left you only in disappointment.
  "Surprised? Not even." You said as you put the photos back inside the metal box. You hear Chloe's voice yell from the pool, startling you, you accidentally spilled the fizzy drink onto the polaroid photos.
  "Yo kid, what's takin' so long? You sniffin' panties back there?"
  "What the fuck Chloe! Gross!" Disgusted by Chloe's comment and your clumsiness, you took one last sip of your drink before throwing it into the bin. The lasting taste of sweetness lingered on your tongue as you walked out of the locker room and into the pool area. Seeing her sit by the edge gave you the urge to push her in, but the five thousand dollars in her pocket forbidden you to.
  Playing with the surface of the water by gliding it with her fingers, sending waves after waves. She looks up after hearing footsteps, shaking her hand to shake off the lingering water drops.
  "Hey, find the lights, I wanna see the sharks!"  "You do know that this is a pool right.So, no sharks."
  "Holy hell, can't you take a joke? Now hit those lights nerd!" Shifting her attention back to the pool, you flipped her off for that offensive remark. You switched on the lights in the control room. Walking out, you saw a pile of clothes by the pool. Specifically, Chloe's clothes. You looked at the pool, seeing a familiar blue headed punk swimming. Her body shimmering under the dim light, you gulped.
  "Come on nerd! Don't know how to swim?Now strip." She said jokingly, all you could do was stand there and stare at her in awe. She rolls her eyes before splashing a wave of water towards you. Now your clothes mildly wet, you had no choice but to strip in front of her.
  Oh shit, well here we fuckin' go, Whoop dee doo.
