"Hey, the names Dave"
Johns eyes lit up. He forgot all about his shitty day and focused on one thought. Someone replied! John fumbled in his bag for his pencil. He had to unzip several pockets before letting out a silent yes when his hand wrapped around one.
"Hi Dave! What's up!"
The bell rang and a few people glanced at the seemingly out of character John, he was smiling and practically jumping out of the room.
He went to home still happy. He looked at the receiver on his home phone and saw the light blinking. He pressed a button and Jades voice filled the empty house.
"JOHN! How have you been? We all miss you back at home. We can't wait till you come and visit, Jake won't stop going on about his new boyfriend and I really wish you were here to help me shut him up. Remember the ghost buster game we played on your birthday? Jake found it in his closet and won't stop bugging me to play, that game seriously sucks, I forgot just how much so until Jake started actually getting into it"
John chuckled a little and listened to Jade speak.
"Seriously though we all miss you here, hope your making friends over there, we'll see you here in a few months so just look forward to that! I love you, Bye!"
John sighed, he hadn't made much progress in the friend department. The only person he's actually talked to is Dave and he hasn't even actually spoken to him.
He fell back onto the bed smiling, despite the fact he never met Dave in person he's still a person. A person who replied to his silly desk writing. He closed his eyes actually looking forward to class the next day.
Running through the halls, John almost knocked Aradia and Terezi down. He didn't even try to apologize as he made it to room 111 with plenty of time to spare.
"I'm great. Totally bored though, come be my knight in shining armor and save me."
Dave had replied to John. Johns heart sped up as he reminded himself to slow down. He took a seat and thought about his reply. It's not like he didn't have the whole class to think of one.
The most obvious answer would be to say, "haha" but that was too short.
Johns face became one of concentration and discontent. Nothing he thought of was the right reply.
He began to furiously scribble on his notebook. Why was he so stressed about this it was just a random person, for all he knows it could be the janitor.
John sighs defeated as he finally grabs the pencil.
"haha, what class?"
He looks up to see everyone leaving, he quickly got up to leave following behind the teacher when he noticed a lack of weight on his shoulders.
John quickly darted back to the room and reached down for his bag. He caught sight of the desk and froze. underneath his last reply was another one from Dave.
He sat down grabbing his pencil. He read the reply, "English, you?"
He gripped the pencil tighter, maybe Dave was a ghost.
"Im in English too, how are you doing this?"
He held his breathe not really knowing what to expect next. He saw words appear and jumped back, scared. He tentatively looked at the reply.
"I was going to ask you the same thing, this is some Harry Potter shit were pulling right here"
John laughed, he had to admit his mind did wander to Harry Potter.
"Your in English right? What's the room number?"
John held his breathe again.
"Room 111 and my class is over, talk to you later John!"
John froze. Dave was probably dead. He was probably a ghost with unfinished business. To why Dave was haunting this desk was a mystery that John didn't want to solve. He smiled though now having a friend to talk to in class. He wrote a short message back to Dave.
"Bye"
He smiled as he realized the conversation has taken them to the edge of the desk. He quickly erased it and smiled at the thought of tomorrow.
John happily grabbed his bag and walked out of the classroom.
