The first days at school were pretty calm. You hung out with Jeff most of the time but you also stayed with Hannah Baker, the new girl you and Jeff saw several times working at Cresmont’s. At first, you were a little bit reluctant to get into deep conversations with her but when she came to your locker on a Friday morning, all smiling and giggling, you just let your wall down. You closed your locker and rested your back on it, crossing your arms over your chest, a grin on your lips. “Cut it, what’s getting you in such a good mood, Baker.”
Her smile got even wider and she shook her head not daring to meet your eyes. “Promise you won’t get mad at me first.”
“Jesus, I am starting to have an idea but go ahead, I promise.” You sighed. Jeff had told you about her having a massive crush on Justin Foley and him bragging about asking her out someday during practice.
“I went to the park with Justin last night.” She said in a low voice.
“Oh my God.” Your voice was extra high so that the few students around you looked at you. Hannah shushed you by putting her hand on your mouth. “Why did you do that?” You whispered pushing her hand away from your face.
“He is cute and nice.”
“Well get this Hannah, he is a jock. Jock equals jerk.” You pointed out. “Except Jeff.” You added when she gave you a look. “Jeff is an angel. My boy is the sweetest of ‘em all.”
“Are you two dating?” She asked as you walked to your first class of the day.
“No, we’re not… We…” You began. “Never mind, we’re not.” She frowned but took your answer without adding anything. Your first class was with her and for your unfortunate soul, Justin Foley, Montgomery de la Cruz, and Marcus Cole. “Great, my day couldn’t start better.” You mumbled as you walked past Justin and Marcus. You sat next to Montgomery and to your surprise, he didn’t say a word to you. The hour seemed like a full day. You loved french but you hated the fact that you would have to spend, not only the rest of the year with the same classmates but the rest of the years you had left at Liberty which meant three years of working on your zen mode 24/7 unless you wanted to finish in jail for multiple homicides. When it was finally lunch break, you rushed to Jeff’s side. Clay, Tony, and Hannah were there too.
“Someone missed me here.” He smiled at you.
“I hate it when we don’t have class together Jeff.” You whined playing with the straw of your orange juice. He and Clay exchanged a smile before Jeff pulled you in his arms.
“I hate it too sweetheart.” He whispered to your ear. “But I love it when you smile.” He pecked your cheek and your smile was back on your lips.
“Why don’t you date each other already?” Tony said with a grin.
“Oh, we’re planning to.” Jeff started looking at you with a wide smile. “We promised each other that if we finish high school single, we would date each other. Right, (y/n/n)?”
“100% right.” You chuckled and started eating, only to feel someone watching you from the other side of the cafeteria. You looked up and no one was looking in your direction. 'You are being paranoid, (y/n).’ You thought. Lunchtime went smoothly, except for Hannah. Justin had been texting her all along and she had a goofy smile on her lips that none of Clay and Tony understood. “Is Justin being serious with her or is it another game he and Bryce are playing?” You whispered to your best friend’s ear. He just gave you a look. That look and you knew Hannah was screwed. You went to your biology class, alone this time, no Hannah, no Jeff, no Clay or Tony. You sat in the back, knowing that you would get bored within minutes. You were about to start drawing on a blank page of your notebook when a paper landed on your desk.
Bored already?
You looked up and saw Zach Dempsey smiling at you. You could not deny the fact that he may be one of those idiots but just like your best friend, he showed that he was different. He was pretty handsome too. You smiled back and scribbled back on the paper before you threw it back at him.
Am I that obvious?
It’s written all over your face
You rolled your eyes and shook your head smiling at his comment. You kept chatting with the piece of paper flying from your desk to his through the whole hour until the teacher caught your attention. “I want you all to find a partner to work with.” Everyone started to look around for their friends. “Keep in mind that you’ll be paired for the rest of the year.” She added raising her voice because of all the babbling in class.
“Wanna be my bio partner for this year?” You smiled when you heard Zach’s voice close to your ear. You nodded and followed him to the teacher's desk to write both your names on the list. “Thank you.” He said following you out of the classroom.
“For what?” You looked up at him.
“Agreeing to be my bio partner even though we all know you don’t like being around jocks.”
You stopped walking and waited for him to face you. “Here is something I don’t tell many people, you’re not like the others. You just stick with the wrong people.” It was a statement. First, he didn’t dare to look at you in the eyes but when he did, he saw you smiling and couldn’t help but smile as well.
“People say I am dumb.”
“People are wrong.” You shot back at him. “You’re a good guy, smart and… pretty damn handsome.” You added slightly blushing. When he was about to say something, Bryce and Montgomery showed up.
“Look at that Monty! Our precious Zachy and Jeff’s girlfriend.”
“What about my girl?” Jeff was standing behind them, arms crossed over his chest. “Keep on going Bryce, what about her?” You knew exactly that this would lead them to a fight and you didn’t want him to get into fights because of you so you pushed Montgomery who was standing in front of you and pulled Jeff away. “Did they say anything to you?” He whispered cupping your face. You shook your head. “Great.” He pressed a kiss on your forehead before he walked you to your class with Zach right behind you. “Keep an eye on her, Dempsey.” Zach just nodded and sat next to you. Peer communication.
“Someday I will punch Bryce straight in the face.” You said to Zach.
“He is not worth it, (y/n).” You sighed and didn’t respond.
