Red Thread ♡《Laurence x Reader》DISCONTINUED

4

now I feel like writing a Zane~chan story, but I gotta finish this one first haha (*'ー｀*) I also wanna do an art book but there's no point.

Enjoy the chapter \(uwu)/

[Btw I'm writing this chapter at 1am, and my wifi is being an asshole :,( rip]

I still can't process what happened on Friday. It all felt so surreal. I'm seriously starting to question if that all really happened. Maybe I was dreaming? But how could I dream all of that so vividly?

Okay, I definitely wasn't dreaming..I think..? Gah! I'm just gonna stop thinking about it.

Anyway, today's Monday. Before school.

I walked towards the gates, gulping nervously as I entered school grounds. I clutched on tightly to the straps of my bag. Perfect timing though, the school bell rung and I rushed to homeroom.

As I took my seat, the minutes passed.

I was expecting Laurence to show up, but I guess he didn't. Memories of last Friday rushed to my head. Gene didn't beat him that badly...right?

I turned my head back, and Gene sure did notice when I did. He gave me a sly smirk, causing me to flinch.

I don't know what he did to Laurence, but it must be bad if he isn't at school.

The teacher called our names, marking us as here. The bell rung shortly, and everyone was off to first period. I had English first, and I was sure glad that Gene wasn't in my class.

We had a substitute teacher for English, yay! The teacher assigned us some work, but had to leave the classroom to grab some papers she forgot. I'm not surprised.

Everyone started socialising, being complete idiots, standing up and walking around. Everyone did something which wasn't the task the teacher assigned. Well...except for me of course.

It was very frustrating trying to work, with all this noise around, I can barely focus.

"Hey-" I heard a smooth voice say behind me. I jumped.

"Oh. You scared me," I laughed nervously.

I looked up.

Oh.

I know who this is..sorta. He's the boy who Laurence has been hanging out with recently. I don't take note in anyone's names, so I have no clue who exactly who he is. I think his name starts with a G though..

"Uhh, I don't think we've officially met, but my dad knows you...I think," he said.

"Eh? Really?" I asked.

Wait...there's no way.

This is Garroth?! Garte's son?! How can I not know who this guy is!

I stared at Garroth. His dad was always talking about hot his son was, and god he wasn't lying.

Wait..what am I saying?

"What? Am I seriously that charming? You've been staring at me for a good 10 seconds now. You flatter me," he winked.

"N-no! !" But my cheeks were telling me other wise. I could feel them burning up almost immediately.

"Ahem..anyway, you're Garroth, correct? And yes, I do know your father," I replied, sorta star struck. This guy is the son of a man who runs a famous industry, and is probably one of the most famous people ever-- how can I not know him?

"Ah, okay. You're Y/N, right? My dad has spoken about you before," Garroth responded.

I nodded. "Yup, your father has spoken about you before too, actually, he spends most of his time talking about you in particular, whenever he has the chance," I laughed.

"Ehhh? Really? Geez, I'm not surprised. I am his favourite."

"It must be nice having siblings? Unfortunately for me, I don't have any," I pouted. Garroth has two younger brothers, Zane and Vylad.

"Nah, they're annoying..sometimes," Garroth chuckled.

"Oh, anyway. That's not the reason I came over here, though. Uhhh..Laurence wanted you to know he's sorry. He also wanted to tell you in person, but he's sorta in bad condition right now..." he sighed.

"Eh? What happened to him?!" I asked quickly.

"Well, Gene bruised him pretty badly. Thankfully he didn't break anything though. The main reason he didn't want to go was because he ended up getting two black eyes," Garroth continued. "He also said he was gonna tell his parents, but Gene would've probably killed him if he told someone."

"Ouch, that'd be so embarrassing going to school like that," I responded. "How did his parents react, do you know?"

"Yeah uh..he lied and told them he was play fighting with his friends. They both seemed to buy it, and Laurence did say not to contact the school about it, so I guess they didn't," he shrugged.

"Hmm..I'm surprised they believed that. If I saw someone beaten up, badly by the sounds of it, I would definitely think it was deliberately done by bullies or something.." I exclaimed.

"Yeah, me too. I guess he covered most of the bruises with his uniform? I dunno. He managed to get away with it."

"Anyway, back to the apology thing...I'll have to see if I can trust him first," I turned my head back and continued with my work.

"Understandable," Garroth replied.

The teacher came back, and started yelling at the people standing up, saying they all had detention, including Garroth. The teacher smiled at me, giving me a thumbs up. Heh, I guess I did the right thing by doing my work. I looked up at Garroth, grinning triumphantly. He rolled his eyes at me.

This chapter pretty much focused on Garroth meeting reader-chan/san. (｀・ω・') sorry if it was a little boring, I'll try to make the next chapter a bit more interesting. It was very difficult to include Garroths flirtatious side in this chapter, since it's a bit serious. But I tried! ಠ_ಠ
