Summary: High school au where dark and brooding senior Ben develops a crush on adorable sophomore Rey when they are forced together to organize files in detention (Ben for cutting class, and Rey for fighting with someone for bullying her best friend Finn).
Chapter 1
Ben's POV
I groan as my alarm goes off, beeping loudly and continually. I grope for the snooze button, but then I remember-first day of senior year! Not exactly the best thing in the world, but whatever. I get dressed, getting back into the starched white collared shirts and uniform khakis instead of v-necks and jeans. I curse under my breath as I look for my leather jacket-not dress code at all, but I don't care. Move-in day is always hectic, especially if school starts the day after, like in my case, and you don't know where anything is. It should be-
There!
My jacket finally located, I run out of my dorm room-my roommate is an early riser-and over to the dining hall. But then the late bell rings.
A new year, and I'm already late for my first class. I could care less-might as well skip it...
Rey's POV
My first period class is British Literature, with old Mrs. Grayson. As she drones on about the Brontë sisters and Beowulf, my friend Finn passes me a note:
Beowulf? More like Boringwulf!
I laugh. A little too loudly.
"Miss Rey! Is there something funny to you about tuberculosis that you need to share with us?" bellows Mrs. Grayson.
I feel my face warming and I am sure I'm as red as a tomato.
"No, Mrs. Grayson," I mutter.
"Then be quiet!"
Finn looks at me with an expression that says, Well, she centainly has something stuck up her ass.
A/N: I hope you have enjoyed so far! The next chapter will be up tomorrow or the day after. Merry Christmas!
