Opposites Don't Attract. {PDH Laurance X Reader}

Mothers

(Y/N)'s POV

My locker door was slammed shut. Not by me, but my someone else. I looked up to see the brunette boy who I had a project with. Laurance.

"Why'd you close my locker like that?" I asked. "You could've smashed my hand."

He looked alarmed. "Did I!?"

"No." I shook my head. "But you could've."

"Sorry."

"Listen," I sighed. "You don't have to do that kind of stuff with me."

He gave me a pizzled look. "What kind of stuff?"

"I don't know what to call it! The 'popular guy stuff' or the 'flirty stuff' or whatever. Like slamming my locker to get my attention. That stuff just works in movies. Laurance, I'm not one of your fangirls, I'm your friend. I don't need you to be all flirty Laurance on me."

Laurance smiled. "Thanks."

I smiled back and nodded. "Mhm. So, do you wanna hang out until class? We have awhile. Well lunch time, actually."

Laurance grinned. "Yeah, do you wanna come sit with me and my friends at our table? You'd be a great addition to our group."

I hesitated. "S-sure."

We made our way into the cafeteria. Besides freshman orientation, I hadn't been there in a while.

Laurance stood in front of a table full of people. I recognized all of them, but I didn't personally know them. Besides Aphmau & the rest of the girls from the sleepover.

"Guys," Laurance got their attention. "This is (Y/N), she's my new friend. (Y/N), this is Garroth, Dante, Travis, aaand I think you already know everyone else."

I smiled and waved. "Hey."

"Hey, pretty lady." Dante smirked.

"Dante." Laurance growled. He clenched his fist.

"Oh! Are you trying to get at her? Sorry bud, I didn't know." Dante put his hands up in defense.

"No, I'm not trying to get at her. I just don't want her around you. Well, you can hang out. I just don't want her getting hurt by you." Laurance was having trouble using his words.

I shrugged. "Don't worry, I'm not interested anyway."

Dante muttered an 'ouch' and everyone laughed. Laurance sat next to Garroth, and I sat next to him. Out of everyone here, I was closest to Laurance.

"So, (Y/N), how long have you and Laurance been friends?" Asked Garroth. "I'm Laurance's best friend so I'm surprised we haven't all hung out together."

"Uh," I shrugged. "We have a biology project together and the friendship just kinda happened from all the time We've been spending together."

"Oh, so recently? That makes sense. I would've thought Laurance would have told me about you. We tell each other everything." Garroth said.

I half-snorted. I knew of the little crush he had on Aphmau that Garroth didn't know about. Garroth gave me a weird look, and Laurance elbowed me. In the boob.

"Ah, shit! Sorry!" He apologized.

"Uhm. It's okay." I winced a little. Getting hit in the boob hurt.

"What the hell, Laurance. What'd you do that for?" Katelyn asked, clearly concerned.

"U-uh." Laurance stuttered. "I didn't mean to!"

"So you just... Accidentally elbowed her in the chest?" Aphmau gave him a weird look.

"Yes.?" Laurance chuckled nervously and looked down.
