Kind of a Pretty Boy, isn't he?

Chapter 3

Keith honest to God wished it was still summer.

Sure, he hated the overwhelming heat and the constant sunburn, but he hated school more.

The raven had always been a bit of a troublemaker in school, though he was quiet. Perhaps that's what kept him from being caught.

It also, unfortunately, kept him from having many friends.
Sure, he knew a few people here and there, but it wasn't like he had his own circle or group chat or anything.

Just the occassional wave in the hall and text asking for someone's notes. He often wondered if he should consider himself to be friends with these people.

He only thing worse than having to get up for school that morning was learning that the 'gas station boy' was probably just a tourist. After all, it had been nearly a week, and there hadn't been a single reply to the post he'd made.
He'd spent the last few nights simply refreshing the page repeatedly, as if that would make a difference.

Shiro gave the male a 'good luck' pat on the shoulder, before practically pushing him out of the car and rushing off.
He probably had a date with Allura.

Keith sighed, heading inside in the sane sluggish manner as many of the other students, a couple of people excitedly chatting in the grass.
He just didn't understand how they could be so...chipper this early in the goddamn morning.

The raven made his way to the gym for the usual beginning of the year pep rally. They only had a team of about five cheerleaders, so it wasn't all the principal had made it out to be on the school blog.

Keith set his backpack beside him on the bleachers, pulling his hair up into the mini ponytail he'd opted to sport rather than his usual mullet. He hated to admit it, but that's what it was.
The male was just too lazy to drag himself to a hairdresser and get it cut.

It was nearly half an hour before the remaining students finally filtered in and took a seat. Then another hour as the principal rambled on about an 'exciting new year' and all that. The cheerleaders, as usual, sucked. It was a wonder the tiny football team got any sort of encouragement for hearing the stupid cheers they came up with.

The principal finally dismissed everyone, and Keith hurried to get down the bleachers and to his first period.

However, nearly halfway down the steps, he tripped, and thought for sure he was going to break something or die.

But a hand caught him, chuckling and saying something like ' wow, people fall for me way too easily'.

When he looked up, it was that beautiful boy again, but he didn't seem to notice Keith, too busy talking to two others in front of him.
Both of which obviously not amused by his awful pun.

The raven was shoved around for a bit when he simply stood and watched them go, perplexed that male really did live around here.

Cheeks flushed, he soon rushed after them, determined to get the boy's name and maybe even his number, knowing he'd most likely just get a name and a disgusted look on the other's face.

However, the tanned male and his friends were already gone, easily disappearing into the crowd.

Keith was on edge the entire rest of he day, hoping that the male would be in one of his classes. He wasn't.
For such a small school, it really was hard to find this guy.

However, the male's friends from before were in many of his classes, but he found it....hard to approach them. He hadn't done this kind of thing in a while, and ended up just giving up and heading to his next class in defeat.
