a love circle | why don't we bxb

i was panicking. i really didn't wanna screw this up. this job was pretty important to me. only in the sense that if i messed up in anyway i'd have to get a job that payed less. corbyn and i were saving up to get an apartment together after college. not in a romantic way, even though i wish it was. strictly platonic. i didn't even get why but at the idea of living with corbyn made my heart race.

"oh my god, jo. you'll be fine!", corbyn said from our facetime.

"but will i?"

"yeah, just make sure no one like dies in the class."

"very funny. height of comedy.", i said, sarcastically.

"don't you have dani in your class? he'll be fun to have."

"oh yes, my annoying little brother, amazing for an important job."

"i'd love to debate that but class is gonna start in like ten seconds."

my eyes widened and i quickly hung up. i opened the door and students trickled in. i introduced myself and decided to start class.

"so, i'm a college student. my major is business. and i'm daniel's older brother."

someone in the class asked, "dead daniel?" and everyone burst out laughing.

i kind of chuckled but i had no idea what that meant. daniel was sitting in the back, obviously embarrassed.

"anyways, we're going to be learning about the first fifteen presidents."

class flew by since i just started talking on and on. while people left, they knocked on daniel's desks twice. i didn't get it but maybe daniel did.

i came by his desk when almost everyone had left.

"dani? what does dead daniel mean? and why are you so quiet?"

"dead daniel. because i've got nothing going on up here.", he said, pointing to his head.

he left like that explained everything and i was totally annoyed with him. he wasn't usually like this. he's super talkative at home but in class he didn't speak a word. 

i noticed a student was waiting by my desk.

"hello, jonah. i'm zach."

"nice to meet you, zach. is there something i can help you with?"

"not that i know of. i'm gonna leave. but quick question. pick a number, 1 through 10."

"8. now, what does that mean?"

zach ran out and  screamed something to his friend which i didn't hear.
