Hiding Behind a Mask

Chapter 9- Bad Days Can Be better

The first two classes Pidge would not let the note thing go. Lance told her if she kept up he wouldn't carry her anymore. When first hour was over she hops on and continued to tease him. He hits her against the lockers on his side. That seemed to shut her up quickly. However she got back at him by teasing him with the note thing again. Lance groans and hid his face in his arms.

Pidge only laughs at her friends misery. Lance runs away from her after second hour and made it to literacy after a while. He sat in his desk and sighs in relief, he looks at the note and shoves it in his notebook.

Keith walks in and flops on his desk, earphones in and tuning the world out. Lance smirks and walks up to Keith.

"Sup little Devil." Lance said. Keith fell out of his desk in shock, his face bright red.

"L-L-Lance I uh... hi.." Lance about fell over laughing.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"F-fine... I'm fine." He got up and sat back in his seat. Lance smiles happily.

"Thanks to that my day has gotten better."

"Really..." Keith was uninterested. Lance ignores his tone and nods.

"Yeah, I got this note this morning and it was kind of embarrassing." Lance said. "I mean I thought it was sweet and all but I didn't think anyone knew me or at least recognize me yet. But it was still embarrassing though like I don-"

"Will you shut up?" Keith buries his face in his arms, trying to drown Lance out. Lance was use to his behavior so him asking Lance to shut his trap wasn't new to him. He instead waited for Keith to speak up. He did eventually. "You are testing my patience!"

"Do you care about your reputation or something?" Lance asks.

"Go away."

"Well do you?"

"No."

"So why are you always looking angry and being mean?"

"I'm not mean! Rude to assume don't you think?" Keith smirks, Lance giggles a bit.

"It is, but you are kind of mean." Lance points out. "I mean, you're pushing me away right?" Keith stops at Lance's words. He looks down, refusing to meet Lance's eyes.

"T-That's for-"

"So what were you doing on Halloween, was there a party?" Lance asks. Keith glares at him, knowing what Lance was doing.

"Quit trying to talk to me." He growls, Lance pretends to be offended. He grabs his chest and looked hurt.

"Oh I am trying to have a conversation here!" Lance said. Keith rolls his eyes and looks at his desk.

"I was at a party, but Shiro dragged me to it." Keith said. "Why were you trick or treating?"

"My siblings were, Sam, Rebecca and I don't care for it anymore." Lance said. Keith raises an eyebrow. "We wanted candy and mi Mamá said no more trick or treating when we hit high school!" Lance whines.

"Grow up."

"Never!" Lance shouts. Keith just stares at him and waits for him to leave. Lance caught on. "Okay Emo, I'm leaving."

"I'm not an emo."

"Don't deny it." Lance smirks and walks back to his desk. Mrs. Boston gave an assignment that the class had to choose a book and read it, then after Thanksgiving break they had to do a speech on it. After the class groaned the bell rang and they all filed out one by one. Lance was screwed. He had no idea what to read.
