Among the Fallen: Goth Kid Michael x Reader

Chapter Twelve

When I arrived at school the next week, I refused to even look in direction of Michael. The principal was still on his missions of getting the Goths to go to class, so I was forced to see Michael all day.  I tried to look strong, but I knew I also looked tired. I was tired, though. I was very very tired. I felt emotionally exhausted and just disappointed. 

Maybe you should date that Broflovski boy..

"Yeah, maybe," I mumbled to myself.

"Did you say something?" Wendy asked.

"Oh, nothing really," I smiled back at her. "I was just thinking, but hey, I have a question. Do you know if Kyle has like a girl or anything?"

 "Kyle, no, I don't believe so," she thought, more to herself than to me.

"Oh, there he is. Thank you Wendy," I smiled before making my way over to him.

He looked surprised to see me by his locker, "Oh, hi (Y/N)."

"Don't sound so excited to see me," I teased in a playful matter.

"I normally don't for girls who stand me up," he said, salt lingering in his words. 

My smile faded quickly, "Look, I wanted to talk to you about that. I'm sorry. I got nervous and flead, but I've thought about it a lot. I'd really like to go out with you sometime."

He still held a questionable look on his face, "Oh yeah?"

"Kyle, I really am sorry. Could you please give me a second chance?" I asked, giving my signature puppy dog eyes.

"You see, (Y/N), I don't typically re-ask out girls who have rejected me," he shrugged.

I smirked, "Okay, Kyle will you accompany me to dinner Tuesday night?"

"Accompany you?" he let out a genuine laugh.

"What? I was trying to be formal and polite," I giggled.

"Well, I can't turn down a girl with manners," he smiled.

I gave him a big grin, "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow night at 6:00. Wear something cute."

I gave him a wink before making my way down the hall to class with a genuine smile upon my face.

*Michael's P.O.V.*

I was making my way to the back of the school when I saw Raven in his old blue hat with the puff ball, talking with his ex-girlfriend.

That trader.

I rushed out the back door to see only Pete and Heneretta. 

"What happened to Raven?" I asked, knowing the answer.

"The Testaburger girl told him she missed him and would take him back if he went back to normal," Heneretta explained. "I think it's because she and (Y/N) were talking about (Y/N) going out with Kyle, so they could go on double dates or something like that."

Pete and I both gave her the same look, "Why do you know all of that?"

An embarrassed look formed on her face, "I just overheard them in the hall before I came out here."

"Of course, another conformists falls away from the true misery of the world for the distraction of love," I mumbled to myself. 

"Michael, I think it's time we talk to you," Heneretta said. 

Pete nodded after her.
