Cube Imagines

Chapter 16- graserryjam

Zach was walking along the vacant school hallway. It was quiet except for the shuffling of his sneakers and the dull noises coming from the classrooms. It was about halfway through 3rd block, which was Zach's math class. He hated the class with a passion, and therefore skipped it at least once a week.

He adjusted his beanie with one hand and took out his phone with the other. The screen was lit up with a text from his best friend Mitch.

The text read "dude meet me in the library!!"

Zach chuckled, and without replying turned around to go to the library. When he got there, he could hear giggling coming from one the aisles. He smirked, and as he had expected, it was Mitch. He crept over and put his hands over Mitch's eyes.

"Guess who???" He sing-songed.

Mitch giggled louder, and reached up to take his hands off. "Geroff me!" He said through his laughter.

When he took Zach's hands off of him, he held them fast so Zach didn't pull them away. So they stood there, Zach's arms awkwardly around Mitch's waist, holding his hands.

There was an awkward pause of silence, before Zach wrenched his hands away, feeling slightly sweaty and flustered.

Mitch turned around, and half-smiled. Zach did a funny sort of grimace in his attempt to smile back, causing Mitch to smile wider.

Zach coughed in an attempt to banish the lump in his throat, and said weakly "So, why'd you tell me to come here? And why were you laughing like an idiot?"

Mitch grinned, and pointed to a little scribble on the wooden frame of the bookcase they were next to. The little note said something quite funny, but also crude, with a vulgar sketch to match it.

Zach rolled his eyes, and took a few steps back to collapse into an armchair nearby, saying "You're so immature, Mitch."

Mitch opened his mouth in retort, saying back "Hey! You're the one who laughs at the swear words written on the science tables!"

Zach laughed hard. "Aw c'mon! Those ones are pretty funny."

"Well I think you're pretty funny." Mitch said in reply, getting a snort from Zach. Then he walked over and balanced himself on the arm of Zach's chair. He leaned his head back against the wall, and closed his eyes, his mere 3 hours sleep catching up with him.

Zach craned his head up to look at Mitch's face, and smiled softly before looking quickly down as if someone would see him staring.
