more than expected

Totally Original

I sneak out of my gym class 10 minuets earlier than I should've and wait for the last hell of the day to ring. As I make my way to the locker room, aka my personal hideout during gym, I hear a locker open.

Oh how original, it's gonna be the main characters enemy that the main character runs into. I've read stories on Wattpad, been there read that scenario. I walk over to my gym locker to grab my dirty JanSport bag and I just know that it's Ruby who's in the room with me. I mean who else would it be? Harry Styles?

"Hi ruby. I know it's you, every book and movie has this in it."

She turns the corner and sits on the bench behind me. First I hear a huff of frustration but it soon transitions into a giggle.

"Dang it JanSport-"

"What the heck did you just call me?"

"JanSport. Anyways how'd you know it was me?"

"Well I read books a lot. This thing happens in every book. The main character, me, runs into the main antagonist, you, and then something random happens. It varies from story to story"

"...what?"

"Dude-" I let out a breathy laugh, "I just knew it was you, don't get your titties in a twist"

"My titties are not-"

       Finally the bell screeches and all of the kids are free from hell. I hastily jam my ball of gclothes in my backpack, (I never change my gym clothes if gym is 9th period) grab my earbuds out of the front pocket of my bag and plop them in my ears. Telescope by Cage the Elephant turns on. Like any other person, I think that my life is a book or a movie because of the music.

"Bye edgelord." I say as I turn away from Ruby and start walking towards the gym door. I think she's warming up to me. Or maybe I'm warming up to her.

      I meet up with Rhys by the office and I walk him to his bus. It's something we've done since we were kids. Well, we're still kids but...you know.

"Buh bye Reese's pieces, live ya the most"

"Live you too, peace out shart head, I'll text you later" And with that he's gone.

    We never say love to each other because he has some weird conspiracy that if we say love each other one of us will fall in love with the other. So we replaced it with live.

       I start my journey home kicking a stray pebble or two while doing so when I feel someone grab my shoulders from behind. I figure it's Ruby because, hello, who else?
