School

You woke up the next morning and did what you normally do. You went through your normal morning routine, except today, it was completely different. Because today, you were being driven to school by someone who you only ever dreamed about. 

You waited outside your house for a little bit before he was supposed to arrive. You got ready a little faster today since you were so giddy. Your parents asked what was up and you just told them that Chelse had to get to school early so she needed you to be ready early too. 

Jonah pulled up in his black G wagon and rolled down the passenger window. You walked over to it and he smiled at you. 

"Hop in loser" he joked. You opened the door and got in. Jonah was drinking some coffee and he had a to-go bag in the glove compartment. 

"I got you a little something" he said with a smirk. "You know, to say thank you for helping me out yesterday." 

You open the bag and there's a glazed donut. 

"How did you know I like glazed?" You ask. 

"Well, I didnt. That's like, the most general thing at that place so, I wanted to play it safe." 

You smile as you take a bite. "Thanks" you say. You agreed with him that glazed donuts were the most basic thing on the planet but Blue Anchor's glazed donuts were absolutely bomb. 

It started to rain hard halfway to school. You both sat listening to the water  hitting the windows of the car. Halloween was coming up in a few weeks so you decided to ask Jonah what he was gonna be. 

"I don't think I'm gonna go trick or treating this year. I mean, I didnt go last year, or the year before that...I think I'm just gonna go to a party or have some friends over or something." 

"I never really understood kids saying that 'they're too old' to go trick or treating. It's literally free. Candy. Free food! Food. For free! How can someone turn that down for literally anything?" 

Jonah tilts his head to the side and sighs. 

"Maybe you have a point y/n". 

The rest of the way to school was normal. You turned on his radio and listened to some music. You and Jonah even sang to a couple. When you finally parked, it had stopped raining so you guys didnt have to worry about Jonahs cast getting wet. 

You got out of the front and got his crutches out from the back. You help him get out of his seat and hand him his crutches. You guys walk into school together. 

"So, what lunch do you have today?" You asked. Your school separated itself into three different lunch periods. All of these lunches happened during the same period. So, if you had first lunch, you would go and eat right after your previous class. Then, you would go back to the class that you didnt go to and attend that one through second and third lunch. Second lunch broke up the period that you were in. You would go to class and then lunch right in the middle. You would eat for about twenty five minutes and then go back and finish class. Third lunch was at the end of your class. Anyone who hadn't had lunch yet would go and then the end of that lunch would mean that everyone in the school had to move to their next period. Lunches changed everyday so Monday's you might have second lunch and then tuesdays you would have first then etc. 

"Third" said Jonah. 

"So Ill see you then" you say as you both smile. 

"For sure. Ill save you a seat" Jonah replies. 

You walk over to your table and sit next to Aubrey. You can see Vic from a few tables down staring at you with squinted eyes. 

You sit and chat with your friends about homework and practice and the big game that you guys have on Friday. The only reason why this game was such a big deal was because this was the last game that determined if your team made it into the finals which would lead to you guys winning state and then onto maybe something even bigger. The deatails of what happens after winning state get a little foggy to you because your team had never gotten that far. Your team was pretty good but the team that you were going up against won to you last time. You guys were defenitly freaking out now since Chelse might not make it. 

Your day went on as usual after the first bell had rung. that was until you were at the end of third period. 

You saw someone familiar crutch by your room. You knew that person didnt have any classes down on the floor that you were on considering they were all freshman and softmore classes.

You asked to go to the bathroom at the last five minutes of class and saw Jonah outside in the hall waiting for you. 

"Oh so you're stalking me now?" You say playfully. Jonah smiles and shakes his head. 

"I just wanted you to help me walk to fourth." 

"Which is..." 

"On the third floor. Mr. Bentley's room." 

you take Jonah's books and walk with him to the elevator. You both get in and press the button for the third floor. 

"So...are you gonna do that costume contest this year? I mean, considering how religiously involved you are in Halloween and stuff". 

You punch Jonah's shoulder lightly. 

"I dunno" you say. "You can only enter if you have a partner to do it with." 

You wondered if Jonah wanted to do it with you but you held your tongue. You barely knew him and you weren't ready for him to start rejecting your ideas together yet. 

The costume contest at your school was held every year about one week before haloween. Mostly couples entered but groups of friends would participate now and then. The costumes were pretty good you had to admit. Last year, two people were president trump and his wife Melania. They even preformed a little skit that was so funny, it could've been a Cold Open for SNL or something. The year before that, you heard it was a group of ten girls who dressed up as the Rockettes and they preformed an entire dance routine. Someone posted it online and it was really good. 

"If I were to enter with someone, we'd have to be something really good. Not some stupid little store bought costume. Like those dumb adult baby things". 

"Those always got a good cringe out of me" said Jonah. 

You walked him to his class and made it back to yours with just enough time left to get the homework. 

Time Skip *** Third Lunch

You walked into the cafeteria and looked everywhere for Jonah. You couldn't find him and you started to remember that you never saw him at this lunch. It didnt really make any sense for him to lie to you but then again, he may not like you...he might just be leading you on. 

You were starting to freak out a little bit until your phone started buzzing. 

You: "Jonah, where the hell are you" 

Jonah: "I can see you, I'm upstairs in the Library. My freinads and I eat up here during this lunch. I was starting to worry that you bailed on me". 

You hang up the phone and go up stairs. You get into the Library and see Jonah and a handful of seniors/juniors. 

They're all boys except for two girls. You've seen them around together a lot but you didn't think that they were a real threat to you trying to get with Jonah. 

You sit down in the seat that he had saved next to him for you and started eating your lunch. You noticed that there was another opened seat on the other side of him. 

"Who's that seat for?" You ask with your mouth full.

Before Jonah could answer, you saw Victoria walk into the Library and start to head towards your table. You thought for a second that you were just seeing things until other people at the table started to awknolwge that she was coming over. 

"Hey babe" Jonah said as Vic leaned down and they shared a Kiss.
