The Things We Hear and See (YT/Highschool AU)

A Party to Forget pt.3 (Emma)

     (Sorry I've been gone so long. Life's been pretty hard on my lately...Finals at school, hard breakup, and some heavy drama at school on several accounts as well...Hope you guys enjoy this though! This is my escape so thank you guys for all your appreciation!)

     This was definitely the most fun I'd had in awhile. Sitting in a circle  in the living room, some of us on the floor, some on the couch and chair, and some in chairs pulled up from the dining room. Eating pizza and laughing about the one big thing we all had in common: Karim.

     G, Amy, and I ranted about dress code for a while, which turned into everyone complaining about the Freshman, Sophomores, and Seniors, which turned into us telling stories about our experiences in high school. Not only had we all started at Karim at different times, come of us going to other "high schools" beforehand (Jack, Dan, Dodie, and I went to school in the UK, and Wiishu in Denmark, so y'know), but we had all met at different points throughout our time at Karim.

     Mark told us about the time some friends of his back in Ohio had pranked him ("just for the sake of pranking him" but we all sensed it was a revenge thing) by throwing glitter in his hair, adding that it didn't come out for about painful two weeks.

     "Oh, is that why you call him Markisparkle?" Ro asked Jordan with a cute giggle.

     "Yeah, that's my favorite Mark story!" Jordan chuckled. "It almost beats Ethan's sprinkler story!"

     "What?" Mark laughed in confusion looking at Ethan who sat on the floor between his legs. (No literally, Mark was on the couch, but like right on the edge with his knees right above Ethan's shoulders, his legs looking like one of those roller coaster harnesses on Ethan...freaking cuties.)

     "Oh yeah, a Senior at my old high school in Maine stopped me in the hall and was like "You're Nestor, right?" and I was like "Uh, yeah?" and they were like "Do a backflip." And I was a Freshman at the time, so even though I literally had a backpack full of books and teachers were everywhere, I wasn't going to tell this big scary Senior "no" or anything stupid. So I was like "Uh, okay?" and did it- but as I flipped, one of my shoes came off and freaking shot  into one of the ceiling tiles, so of course, this person and their friends bolted when one of the teachers headed our way!" We all laughed. "And you know those teachers that overreact? Well this guy walks over, hands on his head like this-" Ethan demonstrated an we laughed harder. "-And goes: "Do you UnDeRsTaNd WHAT you have dOnE?!?!?!" " 

     Dan fell out of the comfy chair and Ian spit some of his water on Anthony, causing to Pam to reach the brink and fall over due to laughter. 

     Ethan continued. "So at first I'm like "yeah okay, that was stupid", but then I look up, and not only is my shoe in the ceiling, but it is right next to a sprinkler-and you guys know how wimpy those things are! I could have set off the dam sprinkler system and the alarms just but doing a freaking backflip!!!"

     "That's literally all you need to tell someone for them to know what kind of person you are." Mark laughed, playing with Ethan's blue hair. (They act so gay I love it.)

     The stories didn't end there. Jack and Wiishu told several stories of Wiishu tripping and/or falling, and getting put in strange situations. This was around the time Mark realized Ethan had brought a little friend to the party with him...

     Ethan why?" Mark groaned in a disappointed tone.

     "What?" Ethan giggled, knowing very well what. "Brian couldn't come so I brought Cody!"

     Cody, it seemed, was a lizard that had been sitting on Ethan's shoulder. The. Entire. Time.

     "Wait, so you've had him the whole time?" Ro asked, confused.
