Okay so this is longer than chapter one since I needed the day to end to make the Christmas special not weird. I hope ya'll are excited for the longer chapters :) Did you guess what the secret text was? If not, here's a hint. Cubes are cool. Okay enjoy the chapter.

[ Y/N's POV ]

Fresh and I were still a little bit shaken up by the fiasco but we still went on with our day. Luckily, we both were in the same class again. Science. I was excited to say the least. Science had always been such an interesting subject for me. All the chemical and non-chemical reactions, the talk about matter, mass, and volume, and stuff like that had always interested me.

While I was busy getting lost in thought as usual, Fresh had been unknowingly talking to himself the whole time. But once he did realize that, he waved an arm in front of my face, snapping me out of my concentrated thoughts.

"O-oh were you talking to me?"

"Yes! And I have been for the past t-two minutes. Y-you really need to pay more attention sometimes." He shook his head.

"A-as I was saying, you didn't answer my question earlier," He said as he continued from where he left off.

"Do you w-wanna eat with me a-and my friends at lunch?" He asked me. I could hear the small hint of hope in his voice.

I smiled at him. "Of course! Saves me the hassle of looking for a table during lunch." He let out a breath of relief and grinned.

"We should probably put some of our stuff in o-our lockers though." I laughed nervously.

"I-uhh don't know where my locker is.." I rubbed the back of my neck.

He stared at me and blinked.

"Did you not l-look for it earlier?" He asked, genuinely confused to why I didn't try looking earlier.

"Well I was almost late to Art class so I didn't have time to find my locker.." I let out a weak laugh.

He playfully shook his head in disappointment.

"Why do you keep c-coming to class late?" I shrugged.

"I guess I just like to take my time."

"Don't we all?" He looks at me with a smile. I smile back.

After we made small talk we arrived in front of the Science classroom. During the whole walk here, I was slightly bouncing with each step I took. I swear sometimes I get too excited by little things.

Fresh and I entered the classroom and luckily found a table with the seats unoccupied. It was near the back and next to the wall so our socially anxious selves don't feel pressured. Heh.

We both placed our bags down and got the continued making small talk. We talked for a while before the teacher entered the classroom. He seemed to fit the description of a basic lab professor. A grey turtleneck with a pristine white lab coat over it. Black pants and surprisingly black converse covered his lower half. Red glasses were taped to the sides of his skull since ya know.. the no ears thing makes it hard to keep them on.
