monday, morning of the first day of school
Wilbur's POV
I hear the piercing beeps of my iPhone alarm and quickly reach over to turn it off. I pick my phone up and look at the time. 7 am. usually I'm a cheery boy about going to school but not today. not here.
I get up and stretch. first I use the bathroom and brush my teeth.
I head back to my room and look in my closet for something decent to wear. I settle on a red and purple striped jumper and a pair of light jeans with a few holes in the legs.
it takes me a few seconds to get dressed and put shoes on then I head for the kitchen.
"goodmorning sweetheart." mum says with a smile. "'morning" I say, grabbing an apple from the bowl on the kitchen table. "can you give me a ride to school?" I ask. my car is back in England because it was actually my dad's car so now I have to depend on others for transportation.
she looked at me sad, "sorry, I can't, gotta be at a job interview here shortly. ride your bike there, it's only like a ten minute drive." great. "okay." I say back and head out the door.
school starts in about 30 minutes so I better hurry. I go to the shed and get out my new bike mum just bought me. I hop on and start pedaling.
on the way, I notice a house mum pointed out to me the other day. a guy who lives there goes to school with me apparently. maybe I'll talk to him but I don't know yet. I can't seem to remember his name.
time skip to sixth period because yeah :)
schlatt's POV
the bell rings seconds after me and connor get to class. we take a seat in the back of the room by carson, josh, cooper, ted and a few other buddies of ours. carson turns around to us, "how do you manage to be late to sixth period? it's right by your fifth period." connor scoffs. "we weren't late and besides, it's not my fault schlatt here walks one mile per hour." the other boys laugh and I just throw a dirty look at connor.
"just joking man" connor says with a small smile. I chuckle and turn to where the teacher is. mrs. alexander is standing by her desk talking to a boy I don't recognize. he's wearing a sweater and has his brown hair all wild on his head. he's a pretty boy. must be new.
mrs. alexander silences the chatter of the class and gestures to the guy. "this is wilbur and it's his first year at our school. we will all welcome him and be friendly." she says with a smile. the boy- wilbur does a small wave then takes a seat at the empty desk next to mine.
he smiles at me as he sits down. I smile back. then mrs. alexander begins on what we're doing today and passes out an easy worksheet. it's about some stuff we learned last year.
I'll finish it later. I turn to wilbur and smile. "hello wilbur!" he turns to me. "my name is schlatt." I say, reaching my hand out for him to shake. he hesitates, then shakes it. his grip is gentle so I try not to squeeze too hard. "wilbur." he says with a smile. what an idiot, I already know his name. but he has an accent, I'm gonna guess british.
I chuckle and his face turns a bit read. "oh yeah, you already knew that. sorry." he laughs it off. he has a nice louder laugh, very cute. "this is connor" I nudge connor, interrupting him from his conversation with ted.
"oh hey." connor says. he plays it cool; I can tell he's trying to seem superior. he does that sometimes. "hello connor!" wilbur does another awkward wave with a smile. he seems cool, I wonder if he'll want to be friends with us.
we made some small talk at first while working on the paper. turns out wilbur likes minecraft and just moved here from the UK. we mainly talk about him because his life seems more interesting than mine. I look at the clock and notice it's almost time for lunch.
"hey uh, wilbur, would you like to sit with us at lunch? you can walk with us there if you'd like." I asked. I'm so stupid. what is he doesn't want to, oh my god.
luckily he says, "sure man. I don't have anyone else to sit with so I appreciate the offer." he smiles which makes me smile so now I'm smiling and staring like an idiot. then theres the bell and we make our way to lunch.
Wilbur's POV
I'm glad schlatt asked me to lunch. he's really nice and maybe he'll want to actually be my friend. "only the poor people go through the normal lunch line." schlatt says. it sounds like a joke but he says it seriously. he must've seen that I looked confused because he says, "it's just a joke, man."
oh. I seem dumb so I let out a stiff chuckle. "come on, we'll go to the snack bar." he directs me to this separate shorter line that goes into a room in the corner of the cafeteria.
since the line is short it moved fast and we were in the room before I knew it. "so why's it called the snack bar if they also serve meals in here?" I ask, taking a tray with chicken nuggets off the shelving. "you're such a goof." he says with a chuckle. "it's called the snack bar because they also sell snacks like ice cream and chips." i nod. "makes sense."
we make it near the end of the line when schlatt asks if I want anything. "oh, I don't have any extra money to buy something." I didn't know there would be a snack bar so I didn't bring extra cash. "I figured, that's why I asked you. pick something out and I'll get it for you." he points to some snacks and smiles real big at me. I smile back and look at what I can choose from.
I settle on an ice cream sandwich while schlatt gets some flavored chips. he pays and we leave. I don't know where we're going so I just follow behind him. I guess we're sitting with connor and maybe some of the other guys he was sat with last period.
we walk to a table with a bunch of guys already seated. I recognize carson and some other guy from last period. connor must sit somewhere else because he's not here.
"hey guys." schlatt says placing his tray down and taking a seat next to carson at the end of the table. I sit next to him. most of the guys just nod and go back to eating or whatever they were doing.
a soft looking guy with poofy hair lights up and says, "schlatt, who's that?!" he talks babyish and seems excited.
"oh yeah." he snaps his fingers at the other guys to get their attention I presume. "this is wilbur." um way to put a guy on the spot. i smile and say "hello everyone."
jschlatt points at smaller guy with dirty blonde hair that sort of swept to the side. "this is cooper." cooper waves still eating his chicken nuggets.
he points to another guy with dark hair and nice glasses. "he's ted." ted smiles big, "how do you do?" I smile back, "hey." he motions to the first guy that talked to me. "I'm travis!" he doesn't even let schlatt say anything. "hello travis!" I try to match his excitement but I probably just looked stupid.
he points to the only girl at the table. "this is madi." she waves. travis leans towards me and whispers, "they're dating." I guess that makes sense. "oh got it" I whisper back.
"and you already sort of know carson." carson lazy waves, his attention on the burger he's eating.
I wonder where connor is. "does connor not sit with you?" I ask. "he does. more people usually sit with us but some eat of campus sometimes." ted chimes in, "charlie said him, connor, josh and noah went to eat at burger king."
"oh. well then that's where connor is." he smiles at me dumbly as if I didn't already pick that up.
I eat my nuggets, joing the conversations every now and then. these guys are cool. "oh we can add you to the groupchat." schlatt says pulling his phone out of his pocket.
we exchange numbers and twitters, as well as some of the other guys at the table. he adds me to their groupchat and I laugh at the name. "yeah I think y'all did good with the name, fart club."
schlatt turns to me with a straight face, "are you making fun of our name, wilbur?" I giggle, "no, no. it's, uh, clever." he still looks at me, "it's not funny, wilbur. nothing's funny about fart club." I smile. "it is a little funny." he laughs now. "yeah, it is."
everyone's laughing now. "I can't believe we kept fart club as the name." carson says through laughs. "josh is such a genius!" that makes us laugh more. josh sounds like a cool guy.
a/n: josh is a cool guy :) I'm trying to ease into their friendships but it's a little bit of a struggle. thanks for the reads also, I appreciate it x
