Junior Year
Hype's POV
"So, what did they say?" Bridget asks, walking with me into Family and Consumer Science class, in other cases, our watch movies and listen to other make dirty jokes class. Going through the motions, I think through all of the assignments I could do during this period and life decisions all at once and sigh.
"Well, I'm not sure, but they were saying stuff about you and how like Oliver has a crush on you so…" I trail off, taking my seat as we watch our teacher pop a movie into the DVR. Since day one of junior year in this class, all we've done was watch movies. We haven't even learned anything really, just a class about gossip and other fucked up rumors.
"Wait" Nicole questions. "Who are they?"
"Oscar, Lavender and Oliver," I reply, lost in thought as I analyze all of what happened to me today. It's not that it was bad; it was like any other day. Shit.
"So anyways, is there anything else you should tell me," Bridget states, clearly concerned. She likes Oscar though, but since he's with Lavender, I guess she's fine with being single for a bit. Oliver caught her eye only once, but ever since she cannot stop talking about it. Really, "he is rather handsome and quite wonderful," as the girls in Spring Awakening would say about Melchior and hate to say how geeky he is, he is a bite cute. But I have Ike, at least I hope I do- love is a slippery slope.
"I mean there's not much to tell from a five second walk by." I conclude, turning to Nicole. "By the way, I saw Mike this morning and you weren't with him. Where were you?"
"Doctor's office, but enough about me, I want to hear about this bet." She giggles towards Bridget.
"Oscar was just pushing Oliver's buttons to try to talk to you I guess. We all know he likes you, have you seen his notebook? It's all covered with your name." I grumble, wishing Ike was more romantic, but you can't change people and I'm okay with that.
"I think it's girly." Rosetta chirps.
"I think it's adorable," Nicole smiles.
"It reminds me like something Hanscehen do when he was younger," I say.
"Spring Awakening Hype, really?" Nicole flusters.
"I love that play. It's not just a play to me, it's a piece of reality; its curiosity that's been driven by desire. A forbidden love."
"Hype, it's about rape and suicide," Nicole states plainly.
"It's more than that Nicole, just so much more." I mumble.
"Do you guys do anything but talk?" our teacher complains. Usually he's pretty chill but today he is extremely tense.
"We're just wasting time," I whisper as Bridget and Nicole roll their eyes.
"I think that's enough gossip for me today, I have a math test to study for," Nicole gripes, taking her book out and doing practice problems.
"Since when have you never gotten a low grade on a test?" Bridget asks.
"Never." Nicole states wide eyed. "Never in my life."
"Of course," Bridget whispers remotely as I sigh and pull up Spring Awakening on my IPod. Tuning into The Word of Your Body, I instantly get a chill up my spine which leaves me alone with myself as the beautiful nightmare of Melchior and Wendela cherishing each other. Moritz is my favorite character, mostly because we're so relatable: tense, and uneasy with life, at least he has the guts to commit suicide…
*So this story reflects on a bad time in my life; time of doubt, dear and anxiety. Not to give to much away, this story may not be well written, but I did it for NaNo-and I'm revising for NaNo ( I will give updates) Some of the work has past works I've dug up to make the story seem more complete and this is my book. Please, feel free to review or PM me, I know this AU has flaws and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. This story is labeled incomplete because there are more parts to be added in the next few days.
