Fate On Wheels 2 ~ Skephalo/Dream6d AU

Chapter 6 ~ Alone

{Start of the 'Settle' Arc}

The next day was Monday, a whole new experience and the start of an exciting new adventure. New knowledge and memories to be remembered. And that is why the two boys were now seen sprinting through the campus, trying to locate their first class. 

"I thought it was this way?!" Skeppy yelled in a panic, pointing down a hallway to his right.

"No! It's this way!" Bad yelled back, pointing down the left hallway.

"Ughhh!" Skeppy groaned, throwing his hands in the air. "If you remembered the route from that map properly, this would've been so much easier!" He yelled.

"Oh, don't blame this on me! You're the one who stayed up late, which in turn made you wake up late, and made us late for class in the first place!" Bad yelled back, a long fight ensuing.

This argument continued on, all until a certain person showed up.

"Um... Hello?" A girl spoke.

The two boys stopped yelling and turned to the figure, revealing the one and only Cecilia.

"Oh- Cecilia! Uh, hi! How are you?" Bad asked, trying to hide his still very present anger.

"I'm.. fine. But, you two seem troubled. What's wrong?" Cecilia asked.

"We're lost because 'Muffin Man' over here forgot the route to our first class." Skeppy said with a glare, crossing his arms as he took a quick look at the other boy then continued to focus his attention on Cecilia.

"Muffin Man?" Cecilia mumbled in confusion, shaking it away before she spoke. "What class number is it? I can guide you two there." She said, smiling a bit.

"Thank god. It's 42A" Skeppy said again, trying to ignore the incoherent mumbling and growls coming from Bad.

"Oh okay! You were on the right track, but before i show you the way." Cecilia said, stopping as she takes out a small slip of paper with a few words on it. "Bad" she continued.

Bad stopped his mumbling and looked up at Cecilia, "Huh?" 

"I was going to try to find you later to give this to you, but this seems like a good time." She says, handing the very confused Bad the slip of paper before continuing again. "I wanted to know if you wanted to go out to get some food at a nearby cafe later, and maybe walk around a bit after. I could show you around a bit and give you some information about the kingdom" 

"Oh! Sure. What time?" Bad asked, his face lighting up.

"Hm, Would 5pm be good?" Cecilia asked.

"Yeah, that's fine." Bad said, ignoring a certain thing happening right beside him.

Skeppy didn't like Cecilia, he didn't know why but he didn't. At all. He was fine with dealing with her for directions and help, but now she's just up and taking his only friend?! What was he supposed to do while alone for hours on end?? Skeppy growled at his thoughts, extremely annoyed with a current situation but decided to not say anything none-the-less.

Cecilia noticed the look on Skeppy's face, thinking for a moment before speaking "You can come too if you want, Skeppy." 

Skeppy looked up, anger still seethed through him, but the offer to be able to go with Bad calmed it a smidge. "Uh, Sure. I guess." He managed to spit out.

Bad's face brightened more, now all three of them could hang out! "Yay!!" Bad said in excitement.

Cecilia smiled at the happiness in Bad's eyes, Skeppy doing the same. A soft smile made it's way onto the boy's face and completely calmed his anger. At least both Skeppy and Cecilia could agree on one thing, Bad deserves to be happy.

After Class ~ Break Time

-----

Bad and Skeppy decided to go outside to eat some lunch they had bought at the Campus' Cafe. They found a small park with a few benches and picked a spot to sit. They took their food out of the bag and began to dig in.

After a few moments of silence, Skeppy decided to speak up. 

"Hey, what do you think about Cecilia?" Skeppy asked.

Bad swallowed his bite, "What do you mean?" He asked, a bit confused as she looked at his friend who was just staring at his partially eaten food.

"Like.. What do you see her as?" Skeppy asked, he wasn't sure why he was saying this. Why he felt this way, what he was even feeling. All he knew was that he didn't like Cecilia, and especially the idea of Bad spending around Cecilia. It was all Skeppy could think about in class after their introduction, the situation playing over and over again. Them going to get food alone, them going for a walk alone, them having fun alone, and Skeppy being alone without anyone to talk to. 

"Well, a good friend, i guess! She seems super nice and she's fun to be around. Why?" Bad replied.

Skeppy's heart seemed to hurt more at this, 'a good friend'. Skeppy was only a friend to Bad, he couldn't blame him but it still hurt for some odd reason. It felt like they knew each other for forever and yet, someone they just met was already higher on Bad's list of favorite people than him. For some reason this thought made Skeppy laugh a bit, reminding him of something that had happened long ago. He didn't know what, but some sort of memory was on the tip of his brain. It made him feel better despite the mystery, so he thanked it.

Skeppy chuckled a bit at his thoughts, "It's nothing, just curious." Skeppy said, looking towards his friend with a smile. Sure, the smile was forced, but it'll be okay. The thoughts will probably go away soon so its fine.

Bad didn't seem to noticed the forceful-ness of the smile as he smiled back, "Okay then!" He said, going back to eating his sandwich. 

Skeppy returned to eating his sandwich as well, the two of them staying silent until it was time for their next class.

Tonight will be fine... Right?
