A Conformist Love Story: Goth Kid Pete x Reader

Chapter Three

*Your P.O.V.*

Over the intercom, the principal announced that it was time for the beginning of the year assembly. We all went to the gym, and I sat by Stan and Kyle. We had been waiting for the principal for at least ten minutes before he came in with a group of kids all dressed in black. Seeing that Pete was with them, I could only assume that it was the goth kids. There was a tall male, who was probably a junior, behind him was Pete. Then, a girl followed the two and a much smaller male, who looked to be in middle school (seeing as the middle and high school were combined), trailed behind.

"Are those the Goths then?" I asked Stan.

"Yeah, Michael is the tall one. He's a year older than us. Pete is the guy with the red roots. Henrietta is the girl; she and Pete are in our class, and Firkle is the younger guy. He's an eighth grader," Kyle explained.

I nodded to him as my eyes stayed focused on Pete. He glanced up at the crowd, and I could've sworn our eyes locked. However, he was quick to look somewhere else.

"Everyone quiet down!" The principal commanded over the microphone.

Slowly the gym came to a dead silence.

"Thank you," the principal grinned to himself. "Welcome back to South Park High. Now, as you know, we have this assemble every year to go over the school rules and to inspire you to set goals this year..."

As the principal spoke, I couldn't help but zone out, looking down to the two-tone haired boy, sitting at the bottom of the bleachers.

*Pete's P.O.V.*

The principal's speech seemed to drag on forever. This was a new guy this year; the old principal being fired for inappropriate relations with a student. This new guy came at the end of last year, and it didn't take him very long to figure out where our hang out spot was, and he started sending us to class.

"Lastly, there will be no more of this skipping class business," the principal announced, gaining my attention. "You if you are absent in class more than three times without parental consent, you will be expelled. The first skip will be a call to your parents and detention. The second will lead to in school suspension, and the third leads to expulsion."

I glanced to Michael who looked slightly worried.

"Does this mean that we have to be surrounded by conformists all day?" Henrietta questioned.

Michael nodded as he took a hard swallow.

I wanted to look back at her but stopped myself.

I guess I'll be forced to be around you.

*Your P.O.V.*

After the assembly was over, we were dismissed back to our classes. It was now second period, meaning that it was time for chemistry. Luckily, Stan and Kyle were in that class as well, and we all sat at a lab together. They were the only one's that I actually knew, but that Wendy girl was in the class, as well as the two Goths, Pete and Henrietta.
