Get Back Up ~ TUp Fanfiction

Chapter 8 - Dark Nights With A Sun

As they walked towards the cafeteria, the girls laughed and talked about boys. Which ones they thought were cute, which ones they hated, and which ones they just wanted to laugh about. Taz however ignored the conversation crossing her arms and walking rapidly. Taz didn't care for this conversation by most of her friends back in Mexico were boys and also, she wasn't the kind of person to talk about guys.

Once they got to the cafeteria, Taz rushed over to the line. She saw Up getting his food in the line and ran up to him immediately. "Up!" Taz yelled to him as she came next to him.

"Ah! Hey Taz." He replied, "make any new friends?"

Taz laughed, "If jou mean annoying girls on my back then sure." She snapped with a slight innocent smile.

Up laughed, "Yeah Yeah." He joked then looked at her confused.

"What?" Taz asked.

"You don't have any food on your plate! What's wrong with you!" He joked while laughing.

"Oh! Right-ugh" Taz looked around and saw the trays. She grabbed one and went back over to up grabbing some food from the side.

"Much better." He chuckled.

Taz laughed and they both continued getting food. By the time the got out of line, she looked back at the girls she walked with. They seemed to have seen that Taz was one of Up's best friends, their faces in shock which Taz saw and Taz looked back following Up to a near-by table that they sat at last time too, "Didn't we sit here last time?" Taz asked completely forgetting about the girls now and focused on her best friend.

"Yeah, this is my table." He answered.

"Ah." Taz looked down at her food voraciously starting to eat it.

Up laughed and did the same. Once they were done eating, the started back to their dorms. "You liking the academy so far Taz?" Up asked Taz making small talk.

"Sì. It's been amazing! I can't believe I'm here. All thanks to jou Up." Taz answered with a cunning smile.

"Ah Taz, it was only a little help but you got yourself in here. You're the one who got the courage to stand up for yourself." He supported.

"But jou stood up for me too." Taz added.

Up thought about that for a minute, "yeah, I guess I did. But it can't mean anything emotionally." He thought deeply but replied, "It was nothing Taz."

Taz did a quick smirk and went back to looking forward as she walked in a plain face that it seemed no one liked, and she was okay with it.

Up and Taz has very close dorms and Taz was very happy about it, though she didn't show it.

They walked together talking about classes and Up giving her advice, "No matter how hard you get knocked down, you always gotta get back up!" He motivated.

"Get back up? What if I get hurt?" Taz asked.

"Well, getting back up is the number one thing at the academy. You will understand threw the years." He said as they got to Taz's room. Taz could already hears the annoying girls through the door talking about boys and shoes and clothes and all other junk she hated.

"Dis is my room." Taz said annoyed.

"It's not that bad Taz! You'll be okay." Up comforted.

"Ah, okay. I'll see jou tomorrow Up." Taz smiled a little bit and started for her door.

"Wait Taz-" Up started.

"Sì?" She turned around to face him.

"Ugh- nevermind. I had something but-ugh- lost it." He said then it went silent a little, "sorry" he chuckled and turned away walking to his dorm room.
