Talk About Awkward 🎈

5. Uno, Dos and Tres

Word has gottten out that I had saved Mrs BS' first period Chemistry class from dying today. Of course I didn't leave out Reese because he played a part too. That's how I, I mean we, got famous today.

Even though we got detention, it was all worth it.

Reese walked into the room and out of all the empty seats in the room, he chose to seat with me. Again.

"Hey." He greeted me.

"Why are you sitting with me again?" I asked him.

"C'mon we've talked about this."

"Actually you never told me why." I pointed out.

He ran his hand across his soft hair. If only I could touch it... snap out of it!

"You're my friend." Aww. I'd be nice to him if only Max and him have patched things up. It's an unspoken rule between besties.

"Hey T!" I looked away from Reese, just in time to see the three guys walking in.

"Hey Uno, Dos and Tres!" They walked up to me and did the bro handshake.

"Why did you call them numbers in Spanish?" Reese whispered.

"Long story." I replied.

I met them the first time I got a detention for being late and it's all because I got carried away eating peanut butter for breakfast. I'm blaming peanut butter for tasting like heaven.

Since I'm totally innocent, which I still am, they immediately took me under their wing. And show me the ropes of how to make use of my time in detention because we weren't supposed to do anything at all.

Mr Deaton's job is to make sure that we are on our best behavior but he sleeps during his watch so it's kind of redundant.

Because of them and Mr Deaton, I don't really mind getting detention sometimes because usually after detention, I would hang out with them whether to eat or just messing around. They are great company actually, especially for people like me.

They have real names obviously, but I can't remember their names so I call them by the numbers because of Spanish looks. By the time I remembered their names, the nicknames already stuck.

"I heard you got detention because of Boring Soaring." Dos said.

"Hey! I was the one who heard first." Tres interrupted.

"No one cares, Toby." Uno said to Tres before turning to me. "I'm proud of you T." He ruffled my hair.

"Uh hi. I'm Reese." Reese put out his hand.

They looked at Reese and frowned, making Reese gulped in fear. I struggled to keep my face straight.

"Reese, huh?" Dos taunted him.

Reese nodded, looking slightly scared. Wow this is gold. I should have taken a video.

"I've never heard of you before." Tres said.

"I'm new."

"You said you're Reese. Are you lying to me?" Tres took a step forward, making Reese move a step backwards.

Uno decided to intervene. "The real question is, what are your intentions with T?"

"Uh... nothing?"

"Nothing? Then why are you here? Stop fucking lying." He sang that last three words.

"Guys stop. Reese is just a friend of mine." I rolled my eyes.

"Is that what they call their boyfriends now? Kids these days." Tres shook his head.

"Too bad for them we know all their dirty tricks." Dos agreed with Tres.
