Pete's POV

I walk outside the boys dorms to see Gary just walking in circles, talking to himself like a lunatic. I stood there to watch him for a second until I heard him talk about me.

"Why does Femme boy care about me so much. Like leave me alone!?" He says. I walk closer and tap him on the shoulder from behind. Gary turns to face me.

"You okay Gary? Your talking to yourself again." I ask worryingly.

"Are you against people who talk to themselves?" Gary asks clinching his fists. I back away a little.

"N-No! I didn't mean that!" I try to stay in Gary's good side. He folds his arms and looks at me with a smirk on his face.

"So, Gary, do you have anything planned for this week." I avoid eye contact with him. He thought for a second. I wondered what he was thinking of. "Which plan?" Gary asks me.

"Well, What are your plans then." questions I. "Why do you wanna know, dork." Gary leans on the wall. "I don't... I don't know." I say. Gary giggles quietly. "Okay... nice answer. I wrote it on paper, just read it." Gary tells me. I just stood there. "Do you have the paper or.." I glance at Gary's hands.

Gary scoffs. "Pfft no, I'm not gonna show it to an idiot like you!"

"Fine, I just wanted to know if you have time to hang out today, geez." I then hear Gary laugh to it like it was a joke. I sigh and frown at him. "I'm dead ass Gary. Your making me feel embarrassed now." I say. Gary stops. "Oh. well, you see, I don't think so. I'm gonna hang with Jimmy and his girl, Zoe." Gary explains almost walking away.

"Wait." I call out for him. He turns to me. "Can I come along too?"

Gary thinks about it. "Uhh, you? Nah. You can hang with the nerds." Gary says as he glares at one nerd walking by. I turn around to see Algie trying to zip up his fly.

"Very funny Gary." I spoke sarcastically. "Well, you can always watch tv or go to class. Maybe the library?" Gary suggests. "I don't even know what to do anymore. Can I just come with you?"

Gary thinks about it again. "No? How about just don't go." Gary says. "Ugh, fine." I walk away. Gary sighs in relief and walks outside school.

Time skip

I finished some shows on tv and looked at the clock. I really wished I had friends who were there for me. Who cared for me. Sure Gary cared but whenever he cared he would bother me.

I don't even know what I want anymore.

I don't even know if I'd rather want Gary's company (which is bad) or no company. (Which is still bad)

It doesn't even matter anymore.

I walk into my room to see a lot of my things out of place. I knew this was Gary. Who else would it be. I took a seat on my chair. Could this day get any worse.

Gary's POV

I'm glad Femme boy didn't come along. If he did, he would have made it awkward real quick. I joke around with Zoe. She's really cool. Jimmy is getting annoying to be honest.

He needs to stop using his art class flirting.

I feel left out whenever Jimmy flirts and talks with Zoe. If Petey was here, I would have forgotten he was with us and wonder why I even brought him in the first place.

"How did you get the scar, Gary?" Zoe asks. "It's a secret." I say. "A secret? Whatever Gary." Jimmy tells me.

3rd Person POV

Pete finished cleaning his room. He hears the bell ring and walks out the dorms to class. Pete was heading to Geography class. When he walked in, he notices the lights were off and the blinds were closed. The projector was on and shining on the board.

He looks at the board and sees "Kahoot" and sees "3847627" so they were playing Kahoot. "Sweet!" Pete gets excited and sits down. He pulls his phone out and waited until class actually starts. Pete watches people come inside but then he looks away when he saw Gary walk in.

"Thank god we don't sit next to each other." Pete whispers to himself. Class finally starts. "Okay class, since we have a test coming up tomorrow, we will practice it on Kahoot." The teacher explains.

(I literally never knew what the geography teacher's name is. I'm lazy to look it up.)

Everyone logs in. I look at Gary again to see him raise his hand. "What is it Gary?" The teacher asks. "Can I get my phone from my locker? I forgot it." Gary says. "Nope, you just gotta partner up with someone." He tells Gary.

Gary sighs and look at Pete. Pete looks away hoping Gary won't partner up with him. Before he knew it, Gary takes a seat right next to him. "So partner, lets log in." Gary says. Pete types in the code and types in the name. He types in "Pete and Gary".

(States from the USA)

The teacher eventually starts the game. The question is, 'What is this state?' and it's the same question for all. The students looks at the image that comes with the question. "It's triangle." Gary says snatching Pete's phone away. "Gary give it back!" Pete yells trying to get it from him.

The next question came up. Pete got his phone back. "Wait, isn't that Minnesota?" Gary asks, about to click the answer. Pete pushes Gary's hand away and clicks a different answer. "It's fucking Texas, Gary" Pete tells him. "Ohhhh!"

Gary's POV

Me and Pete eventually got along more during the game, I helped him with some and they were right. "Oh shoot, we are second place now!" I say. Pete nods and we both start answering really fast together. It was getting fun. Earnest was first place.

"Uhh.. um, Nevada." I tell him. Pete clicks it as quick as he can. "We are first place Gary! We are gonna win and get some candy." Pete says, not looking away from the phone.

I put my hand out for a high five. Pete gave it back and we were like holding hands for a second.

We answered and stuff and it's the end of the game. We were winners. "Okay, since there are two of you, I can't really give both of you candy. One of you takes it." The teacher says.

"You can give it to Pete." I look at him. "Nah, Nah, give it to Gary." Pete says. The teacher didn't know what to do but just give it to me. "Oh nice." I put it in my pocket.

Pete's POV

I walk towards the dorm and watched more tv. The swim team. After, I went inside my room and saw something on my bed. It was a letter and the candy from Geography class. I pick up the candy and looked at it for a while until I took a look at the letter.

It says:

Hey Petey, it's Gary. You know what? This belongs to you. We make a great team and we should hang out more. Just like you asked for!

————

My heart warmed up a bit just by reading it. I planned where Me and Gary would hang out tomorrow.

Sorry this took a while, I always try to update in like every other 3 days but it's almost been a week. I've been caught up with homework and I'm actually doing pretty well now. I passed my tests and stuff. So yeah. :3
