Case 257

Chapter 2: Squad Up

You go to your first class of the day : French class. it turns out that you share this class with rose!

"Bonjour, Mari," she says when you sit next to her. You snicker and hold up your hand for a fist bump. Rose immediately indulges you in the sickest of bumps. "very fortuitous that we share a class together" she says. oh thank god she didnt keep speaking french you barely know it even though this is french 3. you nod.

"hell yeah its pretty dope" you say. she nods solemnly. "I love the language of Fronch... it makes me wax poetic most often of times that I think of my love"

"oh you have a lover?" you say

Rose chickles. "A strong word to be used for sure" she says "We have not made anything official as of yet but i do have feelings for her" in clarification. "She is a beauty i have not yet encountered before and she encapsulates my mind in the wonders of space and she glows with a burning light of beauty and love"

"sounds like ur p gay for her!" you reply

"the gayest" rose nods.

"she go here?" you questioner. rose shakes her head "unfortunately no she lives... quite a ways away... it is quite a travesty" she puts a hand to her heart.

"aw that sucks long distance is a fuck." you say

"i imagine you feel upset, separated from your friends back home? where are you from"

you shrug "i didnt really have any friends tbh lol only one, my bff. im from redding"

"my thats quite the distance to move" she remarks.

"yeah i guess lol" you say

"and this best friend of yours..." rose rambles on "do you miss them dearly?"

"uh. yeah we're really close we've been texting nonstop though. lol thinks she can get rid of me so easily" you pat your phone in your pocket. rose smirks. then the teacher com in.

"bonjour class" he says and does a spin oh fuck.

"get used to it" rose whispers. oh boy.

Your next class is math and you wanna die. Listen i know i always project my hatred of math onto my characters but like what else am i supposed to do huh?? So you hate math. Because of me. You're welcome. You thank me, your gracious creator for your existence. I accept your praise.

This shit class room has fucking table groups so you kind of stand around waiting for the rest of the class to file in before taking a seat in an empty place you see fit as you see it. But then one straggler comes running into the room. It's John! He hovers near you.

"hey mari! cool to see you here! but uh youre kind of in my seat heh" he says.

"oh shit sorry dude" you stand back up. "thanks" he says and sits down. you go up to the teacher.

"ay yo teach where should i sit?" you ask. she looks up. "oh! you must be mari" she smiles. you nod "ye" "excelent! you can sit..." she looks around the class. somehow you end up sitting next to john even though it was already established that his group was full already but listen i need you to sit next to him its fucking IMPORTANT ok!!! you sit down next to him.

Throughout the class he keeps whispering to you but you guess it's ok because fuck math you'd rather talk to your cool new friend mr nerd boy! "Hey so its cool that your new here!!" he says. "im glad rose found you. you seem really cool!"

"aw shit thanks man thats hella sweet" you reply and offer a fist bump. it is mediocre at best but you forgive him for that.

halfway through class he starts texting someone under the desk and snickering at the conversation. "whats got u laughin nerd boy?" you say but like in a joke way not a mean way.
