Reunited ~ Parley/Parkner

Chapter 6

*HARLEY'S POV*

Peter left around half an hour ago to go help Garrett with his composition. Honestly that poor kid. I mean he's got book smarts, I'll give him that, but he has no common sense whatsoever.

After thirty minutes of scrolling through Twitter I get bored. I roll myself out of bed, grab my bomber jacket, and fix my hair a bit.

It's been about week since I've joined this school and the only friend I have is Peter...I mean there is nothing wrong with Peter, it's just, when he's gone then I'm stuck by myself and it sUcks.

Before I walk out the door I decide to bring my laptop and head to the café on campus. I mean I'm not going to find a new friend right away, so might as well study for Professor Stamatis, who teaches Physics.

I head over to the café as the sun is starting to set. Sunsets and sunrises are so beautiful. I try my best to watch them as much as I can. They make me feel happy and calm. They are also just so peaceful.

I open the door and walk to the back corner booth and take a seat. I order a hot chocolate cause 1. I'm not all that much of a fan of coffee, and 2. I don't feel like staying up until 3 in the morning on a caffeine high.

I go to Quizlet and start going through the flash cards and relearning the rules I learned in 5th grade.

After about fifteen minutes of studying, I hear approaching foot steps and look up, breaking my train of thought.

"Is this seat taken?" asks a guy who is about 5'10, with red curly hair, and cute freckles covering his face and arms. I notice he is also carrying a computer bag and I smile.

"Nope, it's open."

He sits down. "I'm Jeremy." He holds out his hand.

I look at his hand with quick hesitation and shake it. "Harley." I say letting a quick smile escape. I do gotta say, he looks familiar.

Maybe I have a class with him?

"You look very familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?"

"Don't you have Mrs. Stamatis for fourth?" He implies.

I snap my fingers. "Yup, that's it. You sit a couple seats down from me."

He nods. "Are you studying for her test?"

"Yeah. I already know most of the stuff since it's just review, but it's good to refresh my memory."

"That's same for me." He opens his computer and logs into Quizlet as well. A small silence falls between us. "So..." he breaks the silence, "what are you wanting to do? For college." He adds the last part in quickly.

I laugh to myself. "Mechanical and Civil Engineering, inventing a few of my own things. Try to make this world some-what better...what about you?"

"Aerospace Engineer. I've always wanted to work in the space field and I've loved planes and spaceships for as long as I can remember." A light blush forms over his cheeks.

"That's cool! Same with me, I've been making little gadgets and gizmos for as long as I can remember."

We get into a long conversation. Talking about our previous lives, where we are from, family, friends, ya know, the basics. I hadn't realized hours had passed until Peter texted me.

-New message from: "Peter :)"-
Harley it's almost eleven? Where are you? Are you alive?

"Sorry I gotta reply to this," I tell Jeremy and unlock my phone texting Peter that I was at the café with a friend.

"It's all good. It's getting late, we should probably get going anyways...I can walk with you to your dorm, if you want."

"Yeah. I'd like that." I smile. We grab our stuff and head back to the dorm.

*PETER'S POV*

The composition that should have taken thirty minutes ended up taking almost two hours because Garrett does not know how to submit an e-mail properly. Every time he would go to send it he would erase the whole composition, and being the nice person I am, of course I helped him each time. By the FOURTH time of him erasing it and retyping it I just sent it for him cause it was already 10:30 p.m.

Harley is probably asleep by now. So there goes talking to him for the day.

I turn off the computer. "There you go. It's sent and you have an hour and thirty minutes to spare." I spin around in his spinny chair.

"Yeah, you're the man Pete!" He brings me in for a bro hug and let me just tell you, I was not expecting a hug, so it was very awkward. For me at least.

"No problem Garrett." I chuckle awkwardly. "I should get going. Harley is probably wondering where I am." I point to the door and start to walk out.

"See ya later Parker." Garrett waves me off and I head back to the dorm. I get my key out and unlock the door.

"Hey Harley, sorry that took so-" I look around and there is no Harley. "Harley?"

Maybe he's in the shower?

I wait a little while and he still hadn't shown up.

Okay Peter, maybe you should text him. I bet he's fine.

I get my phone out and text his number.

He replies almost immediately.

-New Message From "Harls :)"-
Sorry, at the café and started talking to a person in my class. Didn't realize it was this late. See you in a bit :)

Harley doesn't even like coffee. Well it is a good study spot. I shrug it off and tell him okay.

About 10 minutes later I hear laughing from the hallway and he door being unlocked.

Who else is with him?!

Harley says goodbye to the person he was with and closed the door. "Hey Pete," he plops on his bed.

I wanted to ask about who he was with, but I didn't want to sound jealous. Which I am not by the way. I'm just a curious person. I'm completely fine with him going off and making new friends and relationships...it's good for him. Just like how I have Conan and Ned.

"Hey," I wave at him nonchalantly. "How was your study session?" I nod at his computer he had in his hand.

"It went well. Mrs. Stamatis is just going over the basic rules of physics with us, so it wasn't too bad."

I nod. "Who was the person with you?"

"Oh, a friend from that class. His name is Jeremy."

"He seems pretty cool." I say, trying to make whatever this feeling in the room was go away.

"He is." Harley eyeballs me and then reaches for a pillow.

"Oh no, no, no!" I say as he hurls a pillow across the room hitting me in the face. I scoff. "It's on!" I say laughing. I grab a throw pillow that was laying besides me and copy Harley's action. He laughs when the pillow hits him.

We both sit there laughing at the mini pillow fight we just had. "This brings back memories." Harley says trying to catch his breath from laughing so hard. "Yeah, it does." I take a deep breath trying to control the wave of laughter that came over me, and Harley does the same.

Our laughter eventually calms down and we drift to sleep.

A/N Hey it's Desiiiii, so sorry if this chapter is a little slow. I'm not really feeling this chapter. I will probably read through it twenty times altering a whole bunch of stuff trying to spice it up a bit. I feel like it's slow. We decided to give Harley a friend or a ~friend~ we don't know yet. But yEaH. His name is Jeremy and he is a pretty rad dude. I don't know about you, but I'd be friends with him :) Anyways,

I hope you Midgardians have a BOMB ASS day ;)
