"he was cute, hot, smart, hot, energetic, hot"

Keith

"Mr. Kogane" Keith's teacher called, noticing the complete disinterest in the boy.

"Yes, Mrs. Callahan?"

"I wasn't asking for my name, I was asking what the general speed of a cheetah was." His teacher's tone was half sarcastic, half annoyed. She seemed just as tired and ready to leave as the students.

"96.6 kilometers per hour" Keith may have checked out of school days before it began but he will never pass up an opportunity to spout random facts.

"So you were listening." his teacher quickly went on to another victim.

Lance

Pidge and Lance were walking to their next class. For all of the previous period, they needed to pay attention to normal first day things, especially because this was first period.

"A boy, huh, who is the lucky man?" Pidge commented. Lance was scrambling his head to remember but he just couldn't. Was it Kevin? Kaleb? Katrina? Keith? Yeah, Keith!

"Uh, Keith?" Lance said, slightly unsure of himself.

"Ooh! Keith, Keith, Keith Kogane?" Lance's shorter friend was questioning him.

"I mean probably? Keith isn't a very popular name for a high schooler so I'd assume so?" Lance didn't remember even getting the boy's last name, he was too intent on getting to class.

"Ya know Keith Kogane is like really popular, right?" Pidge stated. Lance didn't know Keith was "popular," heck he barely knew a man that hot could exist.

"Uh no, of course not pidgeon, I'm new here remember? I didn't even know someone who can pull off a mullet that well was real." Lance replied, adding in as much sass as possible.

"Okay loverboy, this is my stop, see you later!"

"Bye!" Lance said to his younger companion.

Lance walked into his next class, pleasantly surprised by who he made eye contact with. Keith was sat in the back of the class, his feet were balanced on the desk in front of him. He looked hot as ever, hair tied back into a ponytail, hinting towards the immense outdoor heat. It was hot in every room due to the lack of air conditioning in the school. Lance walked up to Keith, it was one of those experiences when you don't actually think about your movements, they just happen.

"Hi, I'm Lance"

"Good for you? Wait, did you walk into me this morning?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that by the way."

"Nah, it's cool."

The bell rang signifying the start of class, Lance had to sit down quickly, so he sat next to Keith. People looked back up at him, giggling to themselves. Lance was heavily confused, but he decided to go with it. It wasn't until the end of class when he realised what an awful mistake he made.

Keith

"Sup Mullethead, how's life" Keith's smaller friend, Pidge asked.

"Nothing much. Teachers are awful, people are very cool, I saw a cute guy. The usual." Keith responded nonchalantly.

"Oh! Who's the 'cute guy'?" Pidge was always the inquisitive type, and it was never annoying.

"Uhh, Lance? I think that was his name. He was cute,,, uh hot, smart, hot, energetic, hot." Keith had a gift of describing people and this doesn't usually work when talking about attractive people. Keith was a mess. This Lance dude made him melt every time his face clouded his mind. His bright blue eyes, they way his hair shimmered in the light. What Keith liked the most though wasn't the boy's looks, even though they were stellar, it was the attitude. Lance had charisma for days and could pull one hundred good pickup lines out of his back pocket. He seemed like the kind of person that would never run out of compliments for you and would call you in the middle of the night just to tell you each and every one. He would write cheesy love songs and cuddle you until you stop crying. Lance was the kind of person to be the perfect boyfriend, and Keith had to have it.

a/n: well this is up a lot earlier than expected? and yes its hell short but i was 100% blanking on what to write. i think this is the end of the exposition. i mean yeah a few characters haven't been introduced but in the next chapter they will.

IN THE NEXT CHAPTER:

"Lance!" the cuban boy was being cased after by one of his best friends, Hunk. "Lance, okay, you know how you're like new here and everything?" Hunk said with little breath left.

"Of course I do, what are you getting at?" Lance replied, confused.

"Well for one you can't just sit with Keith Kogane, you need to be invited. Two there's a back to school party this weekend at the Holt's place and you have been invited. I mean everyone is invited but wanna know who invited you and who sent me as the carrier pigeon???" Hunk was incredibly enthusiastic about the matter, and Lance was pretty sure who it was.
