True Love's Kiss (Penn Zero X Reader One-Shots)

✧ True Love's Kiss ✧

It was just another day in Middleburg Central High.

You were walking through the crowded halls trying your best to not push or be pushed by other people, failing miserably as you kept mumbling apologies to whomever you bumped into. Said people would just spare you a glare and tell you to watch where you were going.

Yup, just another day.

Making your way towards the cafeteria, you kept glancing down at your cellphone to check on the time and hope you weren't late.

Despite already being half a year since you transfered to this school, everyday always felt like a 1st day.

Nobody talked to you, nor approached you for that matter, but honestly you liked it that way.

And whoever DID talk to you, it was just to play pranks on you or ask for homework they didn't complete.

Being such a quiet introvert with those you didn't know sucked.

This school sucked.

"Well, not all of it..."

"Hey (y/n)! Over here!"

With someone calling your name, you immediately look up, and smile at the sight.

Already inside the cafeteria is none other than your favorite red-head Penn Zero, sitting in a table alongside your other 2 friends, Sashi Kobayashi and Boone Wiseman.

Penn was the first one to welcome you to Middleburg High.

You both met in one of Mr. Rippen's art classes due to him pairing you up in a class project. Scared that he might bully you around like the others, you kept quiet most of the times you worked together. But in the end, you realized how much of a sweetheart he actually was.

He even invited you to hang out with his friends after school! Little by little, your friendship with the trio grew, and are now closer than cookies and cream.

You approach the table now feeling a lot more confident, and take the empty seat next to Sashi and in front of the boys.

"Hey guys! How's it going?"

All three give you a 'hello' in their own way. Sashi nods as she smiles and picks up a tuna roll with her chopsticks. Boone is holding his breath (for some reason) so he just waves. And Penn says 'hey' again.

"Um, question. Why is Boone holding his breath?"

Immediately Sashi's face turns into a scowl as she glares at Penn through her glasses.

The red-head only chuckles till his heart's content as he tries to explain.

"The thing is... Hahahaha! Boone here thinks he can beat my all time record! 4 minutes and 40 seconds! Sash, how's the time coming? "

Sashi takes a look at her own wrist watch and replies:

"2 minutes to go."

You laugh at the seriousness of this situation for both boys in the table and only nod slightly in a gesture of understanding. So in the meantime, you grab your lunch which consists of a sandwich, Apple juice box, and peanut butter crackers.

You pick up the packet of small rounded goods and raise it towards your friends.

"Anyone wants some?"

Penn raises his hand and picks one up happily munching, while Sashi declines.

In that moment, Boone lets out the breath he was holding and immediately leaps forward to grab some of his own with an expression of glee.
