"Hey guys Sorry I was late I just had to finish something." He apologized and took the empty seat next to Pidge."It's cool man. Today's just been weird for you." Hunk reassured. "We all have those days."
Keith chuckled softly. "--Yeah, I guess so."
"Yeah... Some worse than others." Said Lance, clearly thinking back to a traumatic memory and shivering comedically.
The group ended up getting into a heated debate on who's had the worst day overall out of the four of them.
They each presented some good stories, But in the end lance's story of his 'old lady-catfish- tea- party-tinder- date' ended up victorious.
Apparently lance didn't take into consideration that his tinder date could be the four- foot, old woman standing beside the hot chick in her profile pic. Needless to say the woman had great fun being flattered by a 17 year old Cuban boy on tinder.It took Lance a good month to get over it.

5 minutes to the bell the group began to pack their things and put away their trays.
"Hey guys, for today's study session wanna go to my place? Lance asked the group as he threw his cold leftover tuna casserole into the waste bucket.
Every Thursday the entire group goes over to one of the four optional houses for a 'study session'.
though it was more like a 'chill session' than anything. (Since all they ever did was fuck around and play games).
The group momentarily pondered the idea before all quickly agreeing that lance's place was optimal this week.

While the four of them all considered one another to be their 'best friends' it's a little less clear cut then that. Lance and hunk have been friends since diapers and Keith and Pidge since 7th grade.
7th grade being when Keith was permanently adopted by his foster parents.'The group' came together when hunk and Pidge met during freshman year.
Being in the same academic tech class, they instantly got along and introduced one and other to their own friends. One thing led to another and they all just never stopped hanging out together.However, Lance and Keith had always been distant of one another. It wasn't serious or anything, they obviously still considered each other close friends.
Just not as close.
Lance and Keith always bickered about something , whether it be playful or not. And they didn't really talk much individually or really share heart felt conversations with one another. However Keith barely shared things with even Pidge so that isn't surprising.Especially nowadays, nowadays Keith has been more distant. Ever since three months ago when his foster brother 'Shiro' suddenly went missing.
Keith had a mental breakdown and no one saw him for weeks. None of them could contact him and no one would answer the door when they came to his house.
Then out of nowhere, Keith simply showed up to school. Acting as if nothing had happened. Though he truly hasn't been the same since.
When he smiles and laughs, his eyes are stale and emotionless constantly.
Even though he pretends to act the same as he always did, he is clearly different.For now all the group could do to help him heal was act normal and let him come to them when he was ready. Knowing Keith though... it may take a while.
---After the final class of the day had ended they all met up at their favourite pizza joint, 'double double'. Hunk was of course already there waiting for them.
"Can you guys believe that exams are coming up in two weeks??" Lance squealed.
Keith raised an eyebrow. "Why are you excited? I thought you hated exam week..."
"Oh, I do."
"..." keith stared at lance, expecting him to go on. When he didn't keith spoke again. "...Could you maybe elaborate??"
"Oh, right! Yeah I hate exam week but like summer vacation is right after so it's totally worth it.
Y'know Summer is like my favourite season. ...well so is winter!, and spring, and fall too!" Lance babbled like a toddler."Jesus lance! Make up your mind already!" Pidge growled bitterly.
"But I love all the seasons!! I can't just pick one!!"
The sound of his friends bickering faded out and Keith allowed his mind to wander. Bringing himself into a non lucid state of mind.
He thought about the 'home' he'd have to return to sooner or later. Or at least what he used to consider 'home'. He longed to not have to worry about stupid things like this. He wished he could just laugh along with his friends like everything was okay. But he knew he couldn't continue to ignore this for long and that sooner or later they were gonna find out, sooner or later they'd see what was really - "Keith?". Lance's face was a few centimetres away from his.
Keith jerked back. Startled by the sudden snap to reality. "Uh- yeah! Definitely! Sounds g-good!". He blurted, blinking rapidly trying to Remember where he was."Umm... okay then, let's go. Everyone is already at the bus stop waiting." Lance gestured for Keith to get up.
It took him a moment, but he grabbed his satchel and tucked in his chair. Throwing out his untouched slice of pizza on the way out.
Lance made a sour face at this.
"Bruh.
Y'know I get that you can't have cheese or whatever and that makes your pizza kinda disgusting but you just through out like 3$. You could use a slice of pizza or two, You've been getting kinda thin lately... uh sorry. I mean... Never mind. I know it's not my business." Lance spoke as they waited for the light to change at the cross road. Their friends were waiting at the bus shelter across the street for them."Why did they leave us alone at the pizza place?" Keith asked, gesturing towards their waving friends across the street. In an attempt to change the subject.
"Oh... um... I guess they just um wanted to give a homeless man money or something?... and told us to catch-up with them here? I'm not entirely sure myself.""Oh okay." Keith fidgeted with his sweater anxiously. Why now of all times did they have to be waiting at the slowest changing cross light known to man kind? Keith guessed that it was because the universe hated him.
He looked over at lance and noticed that the Cuban looked like he had something important to say on the tip of his tongue.
The atmosphere was so thick you could cut it with a knife."Keith! listen-"
The light changed just as lance began to speak and Keith b-lined for the bus stop.
Not now. He wasn't ready to talk about it yet. Not yet, not with him, not with anyone. He needed more time.Authors note
