~Insanely Cool~ (Jared Kleinman x Reader)

Part 4~Are You Ok?

I head to my first period class, math ugh. I hate math. I still feel really guilty about Christine but it didn't matter. He isn't like that towards me, so what's the point honestly? My mind wanders as the classroom fills with high schoolers.
     Wait. Where's Zoe? She sits at my table. She's usually never late. Come to think of it she wasn't here at all. Or at least from what I saw. Or Connor, he wasn't here now that I think about it. They.. they wouldn't skip together? Zoe and Connor hate each other. Or maybe the Murphys went on vacation. But on the second day of school? Why would they schedule a vacation during the first week of school? Huh. I'll text her to ask her about it when I have time. Math class goes by in a hazy blur, just like always, and soon enough, the second period bell rings. Communication arts. I have that class with Jared and Jeremy. Jesus they look so similar. It's freaky. Except Jared combs his hair so it's neatly kept and Jeremy's is eh.
I walk into communication arts and sit at my table. My table consists of Jared and Jeremy, and someone named Heather Mcnamera. Heather is pretty nice honestly. I see Veronica and Brooke at another table with Jake Dillinger and Ram Sweeney.
"Hey (N/N)? Are you ok?" Jared asks. "Y-Yeah I'm just fine, my guy." I respond, but my words are empty. "Are you s-sure?" Jeremy asks in his normal nervous way. "Jere, I'm fine you dork." I say jokingly. "I-um ok." Heather looks over to me and I give her a sincere smile.
Thirty minutes into this lesson, I've noticed, Jared's been really quiet. He's usually making sex jokes or some shit. Maybe he's trying to focus this time. I shouldn't look too much into it. *rrring rrring* The third period bell. Art class. Our table walks out together, since we all have that class together. We grab a seat next to Evan since he has this class too. "H-hey guys." Evan stutters out. "Hey Ev, this is Heather and Jeremy, they're friends from our communication arts class." I say. "I-uh hi." Evan waves. "Jeremy, Heather, this is my twin brother Evan." "Hi Evan!" Heather says enthusiastically. "Hey Evan." Jeremy greets. "Jared, are you ok?" I ask. No reply. He's sitting right next to me jeez. I try again. "Jarebear? Are you ok?" I say in a pleasant voice. "I uh whuh?" Jared stutters as he gets flustered and turns a shade of pink. "Jared, I was asking if you were ok, because you've been kind of quiet today." "Oh yeah, aye-okay babycakes." He says with a sudden spurt of confidence. "I-uh what? B-ba-baby-cakes?" I say turning red and becoming flustered. "OH NO-NO-NO! I was trying to, I don't know, I'm sorry." Jared instantly regrets saying that. Our table goes quiet until, "Yeah so are you guys dating or what?" "JEREMY I'M GONNA MURDER YOU!" Jared gets pissed. "Jared, you ass, he was joking, I hope, but the art teacher is here so calm down." Heather says.
The art teacher explains that this project will be a reasonable part of our grades. It's a painting or drawing of you doing your favorite thing. Simple enough right? This is gonna be easy. I start sketching my favorite thing to do, drawing (you can change it if you want, I personally love to draw.) I look over at Jared's and it looks like he's.. playing guitar. Huh. That's new. It's actually really good. I'll have to ask him to play sometime.
"Hey Jared?" "Hmm?" He says, not really looking at me. "I never knew you played guitar. You should play for me sometime, I bet you're good." "I uh.. um.. thank you." I return to working on my project and I think it's looking pretty good.
~~~Jared's Perspective OwO~~~
Shit. She wants me to play guitar. FOR HER. Wow. I glance over to her drawing and HOLY- "WOAH!" "Wh-What?" (Y/N) says. "(N/N)! YOUR DRAWING IS INCREDIBLE!" "I-" "MR. KLEINMAN! WOULD YOU PLEASE LOWER YOUR VOICE WHEN TALKING TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" The teacher yells. Shit. "M-miss, sh-she isn't my gi-girlfriend!" I stutter out. "Hmm ok Mr.Kleinman." I whisper as I continue my conversation with (Y/N), "So I uh really like your drawing was uh what I was trying to say." "Oh uh th-thank you Jarebear." (Y/N) whispers back. Damn. She's so cute. But wait. She's Evan's twin. So it's basically like, having a crush on, like, Evan. I can't do that. That's gay. *rrring rrring* That's the bell for  lunch.
~~~(Y/N)'s Perspective~~~
Ah. Lunch. I'm gonna ask Christine to sit with us, so I could apologize. Ooh maybe Nicole and Michael could too.

~~~Time Squip~~~

"Evyyyy are you your girlfriend isn't at school?" "JARED! Heh! You ass!" I lightly punch his arm and pretend to fall on him. "(N/N)! Get off me!" Jared jokingly says. "Noooo Jarebear you gotta stop bullying my baby brother!" I whine in a pouty voice. "Aww well if you want me to stop it you gotta get off me~." Jared replies in the same type of whiny voice. "You-you guys are gross." Michael deadpans. "Y-yeah did you guys take drugs or something?" Evan says. "Actually I think you guys are pretty cute." Christine pipes in. "Yeah you guys would make a cute couple!" Nicole says. Jared and I exchange flustered glances, all the while I'm still leaning on his shoulder. Neither of us are making a move to separate, we're just looking at each other.
    "WOULD YOU TWO JUST FUCK ALREADY?" Michael exasperates. Jared and I quickly separate. Nicole quickly punches Michael in the side. Jesus. How about they just fuck already? Jared is looking at his lunch while on his phone, as per usual. I decide to take Jared's glasses as he doesn't use them when he's that close to his phone. Hah. That asshole didn't even know I took them.
"Hey Jarebear~?" "Yeah (N/N)?" Jared says, not looking up from his phone. "How do I look~?" "Whuh? Why?" He finally looks up from his phone and squints, trying to see. *click* shit. "Ok give me my glasses back so I can see." I give them back and he looks at the picture. "Aww you look cute." Jared realizes what he said. "I-I mEAN-" "Jarebear it's ok, it was a mistake." "Hehe, yeah mistake.." Jared glumly mumbles the last part. "Jarebear it's ok."
We continue to talk for a while like we usually do. It's nice.

~~~Christine's Perspective~~~
They're so cute like they need to be together and I'm gonna do it.

Aww so I'm gonna try to update this regularly and y'know not make it awful, so have a nice day.
