[Weak Hero X Reader] Romance 101 [OLD VERSION]

Hanging with Classmates (Not Friends)

You returned to your apartment. It was mostly empty except for your sleeping bag and a backpack full of all your supplies. You opened your backpack and pulled out a food bar. You noted that you were running low on food and water, meaning you'd have to restock soon. Once you finished up your dinner and drank most of your water, you unrolled your sleeping bag.

'I should probably eat something other than food bars though,' You were actually getting pretty tired of the taste and it's not like you were planning on moving anytime soon. You have actually decided to settle down for once to complete the rest of your high school education in peace.

You retrieved a book from your school backpack, [Favorite Manga Series], and began to reread it. You had already read the entire series but only owned the first volume since in the past, it'd be a pain to move around with too many books. But since you were settling down, you decided that you'd hit the bookstore for some fresh manga books.

You thought back to the fight you had participated in. 'I wonder how frequent fights are in this place. I don't have any plans on being the #1 fighter or anything, but I will fight if they threaten me,' You stared at the blood on your jacket sleeve. 'I just need to make sure I don't accidentally kill anyone,'

During break time the next day, Ben visited your homeroom. "Hey Eugene Gale," He threw an arm him. "And Gray Yeon, [Your Name] [Last Name],"

You looked up from your [Favorite Manga Series] and raised a brow. "Hmm?"

"Now, now, it's no time for us to just be sitting around like this! Don't you think we should be getting together to share some thoughts and ideas to better our future?"

'I'm not going to do any additional studying. I can get first place, I just want to not draw any unnecessary attention or pressure. I'm fine with staying in the middle ranks,'

"So that brings me to my point. I thought we should hold a friendly group pool competition at the underpass. So what do you guys say? Are you three up for pool?"

'It's good for me to explore the area outside of my route to school,' You agreed to go. 'I've seen how they fight. I can take them on if they try anything,'

"Okay," Gray answered after a brief pause.

"Give us four-ball, please," Ben told the lady at the counter.

'I've been to pool halls before,' You glanced around. 'This is a normal one, unlike the shadier ones I've seen,'

After a while, you and the others started to get hungry. Alex and Ben ended up getting into an argument over what to eat: Chinese food or tteokbokki. In the end, the two asked Gray who decided on tteokbokki.

"Well, tteokbokki doesn't even deliver!" Ben pointed at Alex and Gerard. "You two go out and get it for us then!"

'Too noisy,' You decided to go with the two boys to get a breath of fresh air. Besides, it was good to know the location of the tteokbokki place in case you wanted to order it for yourself later on. The place was called Awesome Gimbap, Tteokbokki, and Twigim. On the way back, you stayed a few footsteps behind them as the two chatted about Gerard's hair with Alex trying to persuade him to get a haircut.

You stopped walking when you recognized Vampire Boy across the street. You quietly walked over to him. He looked up at you with an amused smirk. "[Your Name],"

"I don't remember introducing myself to you," 

"Your schedule,"

Right. Your name had been printed in the corner of your schedule. Of course he knew your name.
