Ma Chérie (Beverly Marsh x Fem!Reader) (On Hold)

Chapter 6: The new kid

December 20th, 1988

Your P.O.V.

I look at the calendar. I can't believe it! Five more days, and I get my cast off! That means no more rides from Brenna! I almost jump for joy, but I remember that I still have my broken leg. I change into my clothes as quickly as possible, put some French toast sticks in the toaster oven, and rush to tell Beverly the news.
I knock on her door, but her dad opens it.

"Hello Y/n, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I need to talk to Beverly."

He closes the door and goes to get Beverly. Beverly opens the door.

"What's up Y/n?"

"I'm getting my cast off in five days!"

"Oh my god really!" We hug each other, and then I hear the toaster oven ding.

"Yeah, but I need to get my French toast sticks right now."

"Are you gonna share?"

"Sure, but they're vegan."

"I don't care."

I leave to get my French toast sticks, so they don't burn. When I try to get them out, I do the stupid thing by not using oven mitts when I grab them, so I burn myself, and drop the tray.

"Shit, shit, shit," I put my fingers under some running water. "Damn, that's hot."

I hear Beverly call out to me, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just burnt myself!"

When I try to get my toast sticks out again, I use some pot holders. I put them on a plate, and take them out to Beverly. She takes a bite, and she seems like she enjoys it.

"This is actually pretty good."

"I know."

I hear Brenna's bike bell ring. "We gotta go now."

"Let's finish them on the way."

"Okay."

We make it to school, I get off of the bike, and walk into school. As I'm walking into school, I run into some chubby kid that I've never seen before.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there." I apologize to the kid.

"No, you're okay."

"You must be new, because I've never seen you before. What's your name?"

"My name's Ben." The kid, who I now know as Ben, says.

"Cool, my name is Y/n."

"Can you show me where the science classroom is?"

I walk Ben to Mx. Valencia's classroom, and by looking at his timetable, I see that we have 3rd and 6th period together. Heading back to Literature, I remember that I'm still mad at Miss. Thomas for putting me in detention over a swear word. Thankfully detention isn't until the end of the month.

For once, I'm able to get through Literature without getting called out for doing nothing. My next class goes the same way. In Math, I see Ben. I sit next to him because nobody else wants to. I barely pay attention to the teacher, so I can talk to Ben.

"When did you move here?"

"Just yesterday."

I decide to ask him some questions. "So, what's your favorite subject?"

"My favorite subject would be math because I want to be an architect when I grow up."

"You want to be an architect too!" It's how you connect to Ben so shut up.
