Tall Insomniacs.- (Connor Murphy X reader)

Chapter 1.

~Your POV~

Life throws curves at you. Most of the time. And when life throws curves you... cry in a corner. Wait no— don't do that. There's always gonna be someone there for you, that could be a brother, a neighbor, an acquaintance , or maybe even someone you least expect.

I sat in the computer lab with Evan as I swirled in my chair. My arm still hurt from being rammed into a locker. Evan started to pick at his nails.

"Evan! Don't do that you'll hurt yourself!" He quickly put them back on the keyboard. His hands bloodied, and picked at.

"Sorry." He mumbled so lost in his thought. "Done!" He clicked the mouse and it was sent to his phone. He turned to me and I shot him a quizzical look.

"You, Umm, you have class in like..." he checked his watch. "5 minuets."

"Oh. Yay. How fun." I jump from my chair and grabbed my bag. "See You after school! Love you!" I rushed out of the computer lab and into the literature classroom. The teacher wasn't there yet. Thank god.

I made it right when the bell rang and I sat and my seat merrily.  I also didn't understand how I'm always almost late.

Our teacher, Mrs. Green, was probably as old as this school. She walked in with a tight bun on her head, pulling back wrinkles.

"Welcome class! As we all know, Today is the first day of school but that does not mean we're not working! We have a 20 page essay due next Friday," groans came from the classroom. "I will assign 3 person groups, I will like to say this is 30% of your grade." More groans.

But then something interrupted it all. Connor Murphy walked into the room. Late. Sooooo unpredictable! (Cue sarcasm) "Ahh, finally mr. Murphy. Meet me after class, also take a seat next to mr/ms. Hansen." He sighed and slumped down in the chair.

I rolled my eyes so far I could probably see my brain. He sat next to me and I scooted away. Connor glowered at me.

"The groups are Alana, Zoe, And Evan. Then we have Y/N, Jared, And Connor."  (Heather, Heather, and Heather! Sorry I'll go.)

She continued to read names but my heart stopped. It's like god was against me. why does everything have to happen to me? Someone started to yell my name.

"Y/N? Y/N! I said I'm not gonna do this, you and that dickhead can do it."

I was snapped out of my trance. When I finally processed what he said my eyebrows furrowed. He sure as fuck wasn't aloud to speak to me like that.

"What? No! We're all doing this 'shit' together, asshole!" I gasped at what I just said. "I'm so s- I didn't mean- Your n-"

"What the fuck did you say?"

"I said I was sorry. By the way, I didn't get one of those yet. Referring to earlier." I said coldly and turned to the white board. my eyes danced over to the clock.

5 minuets left....

"Evan you shoulda saw! Murphy almost killed her/him." Jared laughed.

"Shut up! I think he could be a good kid if you weren't a jerk to him!" I smacked the side of Jared's head. Me and the boys were walking home.

Me and Evan talked about our projects. He's going to Zoe's later. Seems fun, I guess. We passed the parking lot and saw Connor leaning on a car, not to mention smoking a blunt.

"He shouldn't be smoking drugs..."

"Smoking drugs?" I asked. Evan laughed. "You know what I mean!" He joked back.

"I need to go ask him something stay here Ev." Evan tried to refuse but I shook him off. He was sometimes like the dad friend. Or the dad brother, in my case. Or the dad, In both our cases.

I made my way over to Connor and he acted like he didn't notice me. I mean did he even ever notice me?

"Connor? CONNOR!" He turned. "What?" He snapped, venom dripping from his words. I flinched. His blue and brown eyes looked deadly. He must have saw the fear in mine because his softened.

"Do you wanna met me and Jared at my house or...?" I asked calmly.

"Whatever." He blows a ring of smoke into my face and I cough.

"That's soooooo helpful!" I say sarcastically. "Just take my number and call me, only if you want." I write it on his hand and he nods.

"Bye, prince(ss)!" A phony smile creeps up his face. He must be high. Damn that shit works fast. It annoyed me but for some reason I walked away with a stupid smile on my face.

———————————————

Me and Evan sat on the couch scrolling through our phones. The light screen illuminated my face through the darkness. I thought for a while, for a long time. There was one that kept popping up though.

Maybe this year won't be as bad as I made it out to be...

Or maybe it will be. Maybe it will all blow up in flames. (Okay JD. Calm Down) maybe it will end in humiliation, nudity, and violence. Because your you and that's enough.

Maybe.
