Winter
(Read A/N at end)
I set my lunch tray down on the wooden table and pulled out a chair. I slumped down and looked at the slop that they have the nerve to call food. I sighed, tired of not eating the inedible mess everyday.
I brought my hand up to my brunette hair and began playing with it. My beanie began slipping from me pulling my hair, so I yanked it off. As usual, my hair began to stand on end from being under the hat for half the day. Not really caring, I shoved the beanie back in my bag.
"Hey, Winty!" Austyn yelled waving at me with her lunch in her hands.
Austin was the type of girl that was kind most of the time, but could really become a bitch when angered. She had blonde and black hair, brown eyes, angel bites,a bridge piercing and olive skin. She moved to our school from Cali two years ago.
"Hey, Austy." I snickered, enjoying the face of disgust she pulled at the nickname
"Heya babe. Hey twink." Xavier called, smiling at the name he called me.
"Xavier, I'm not a twink. If anyone's a twink, it's Justin." I laughed, pointing at our friend in the lunch line.
"Sorry, hun. You're deffo a twink." Austyn said, holding a roll to her face.
I sighed and shook my head with a slight smile.
I looked over to the couple sitting across from me and watched them kiss each other for the hundredth time.
Xavier had blue hair, green eyes, dahlia piercings, a septum piercing, and fair skin. He could really be a dîck sometimes, but we all still loved him. I'd known him since fourth grade. He had been throwing pencils at the teacher and ended up getting me to join in on his foolish antics.
"Get a room." I mumbled after hearing Austyn moan.
"Good idea." Xavier says, grabbing Austyn's hand and dragging her towards the nearest janitor's closet.
"Thats the third time this fucking week." I groaned and plopped my head into my hands.
"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the lovebirds went off to fondle each other. Am I right, or am I right?"
"Correctamundo." I sighed.
Justin had pink hair, bright blue eyes, septum piercing, stretched lobes, horizontal labret, and peachy skin. We'd been in the same class since kindergarten and ended up growing close last year. He was a really sweet guy and had the most genuine feelings.
He sighed and sat beside me. The two of us were both gay, but I don't think he thought of me in more than a platonic way. I was fine with that though. Even if we were interested in each other, I wouldn't have time for a relationship. I had football to worry about.
"Well, you can't stop them once they've started." I said jokingly.
He let out a small laugh and set his hand down on mine.
I looked at his hand, and turned my head to him. He was all flustered and staring wide-eyed at his hand over mine.
"I'm s-sorry. It was a complete accident." Justin stuttered.
"Calm down Pinkie Pie," I said, laughing at his nickname. "It's not that big a deal."
The shrill ring of the bell made the two of us jump out of our skin. We both awkwardly laughed and took our trays to the trash.
"Ugh. I hate maths. Why is it in our curriculum?"Justin groaned.
"Listen Pinky, why don't we just hang out in the courtyard for the rest of the day. It's nice out and the rest of our classes are are a bore."
He nodded in agreement and followed me out of the cafeteria.
We stopped by my locker to grab whatever we needed. I stuck my bag back in the locker, but not before grabbing my beanie and pulling it back over my mop of hair.
Justin laughed beside me and pulled some of my hair out of the beanie.
I nodded my head in gratitude and fished my phone out of my back pocket.
"Need anything?" I asked, gesturing towards my locker.
He nodded and grabbed his book, Through the Looking Glass
"Nerd." I laughed and closed my locker.
We walked through the empty corridors until we reached the metal doors that lead to the courtyard.
We went over and sat by the little pool of water that had a little waterfall.
"Hey, should I dye my hair light blue? I mean, my name is Winter and light blue is wintery."
"That's a great idea. You can come over tonight and we can do that!" Justin exclaimed getting happy.
I smiled and reached out to grab a piece of his bright pink hair. I twirled it around my finger for a while, staring off into the distance.
This is usually how we spend our time. Me, playing with his hair and letting my mind wander and him, reading a book.
"Hey, Pink. Hey, Twink." I heard Austyn call and sighed
"Hello Austy." I snickered
"Ouch." Austyn mocked, putting a hand on her chest with a look of disgust and anger plastered on her face.
I laughed and looked at Justin, nose still in his book..
"Awwww. Is little Pink ignoring me?" Austyn poked.
Justin folded the top of the page he was on and set his book down beside him.
"I wittle Pinky mad at Austy?" I smirked.
"Actually I'm not." He deadpanned.
He sat up and shoved me over. He watched me just fall over, letting gravity do its thing and stare at the sky. Justin shook his head and stood up. He held a hand out, offering me his help. I gladly grabbed it and pulled myself up.
"You guys want a smoke?" Austyn asked pulling a pack out of her jacket pocket.
"Yup." I replied, pulling Justin behind me.
I fished one out of the pack and put it between my lips. Justin reached over my shoulder and grabbed one for himself.
I felt Justin reach into his pocket, probably for a lighter. He lit his up and reached his arm around me to light mine.
"Thank." I mumbled, taking a drag.
"Yep." Justin replied.
***
The last bell of the day rang and the three of us headed back into the building to get our stuff and head our seperate ways.
I pulled my Batman backpack over my shoulder and headed over to Justin's locker, which was only four down from me. He stuffed his text books in his Legend of Zelda backpack and pulled it over his shoulders.
"Ready to become Little Boy Blue?" Justin smiled.
I nodded and walked out of the school with him.
