Prompt: Do an au Sam and Andy in high school
It was like a ton of bricks. He didn't see it coming. He was just trying to open his locker while Barber talked his ear off about the freshman crop this year, and then before he knew it he was on the ground.
Thud.
Whatever's on top of him is lighter than he would've expected, because the contact was hard. But he feels a sharp hip bone on his leg, and when he opens his eyes it's a fresh faced girl, with big brown apologetic doe eyes hovering over him. Freshman, he guesses.
She jumps off of him quickly, and he feels Jerry tug him up from under his arms, and then he's on his feet in front of her.
She's cute. In a naive freshman kind of way.
"I am so sorry." She gushes, cheeks beginning to go red. She looks as though she's about to lean in and straighten his leather jacket before she stops herself and starts to stammer again. "I was on my way to class, and you stepped back I didn't even have time to move, like, seriously, so sorry."
She's already taking off again before Sam can say a word, or forgive her.
"Seriously man these freshman, get stupider every year." Jerry says, loudly, causing the girl to turn back and look over her shoulder. She makes another apologetic face before putting her head down and continuing on her way. Sam feels bad now, and gives Jerry a well deserved sucker punch to the gut.
"Shit man!" He groans, doubling over and leaning against the lockers. "I wasn't done, I was gonna say the girls get better looking!"
Sam just chuckles, feeling a little better about the whole incident altogether, and grabs his ratty copy of Moby Dick out of the bottom of his locker before slamming it shut. He gives Jerry a gentle shove before starting off on his way to English, and eventually Jerry catches up and throws him into a headlock.
"Careful buddy…" Sam warns, yanking himself out of it. "You'll muss up your oxford shirt."
Sam chuckles, jogging ahead, realizing they were alone in the halls, and he really doesn't want detention on the first day of his senior year.
"My mom made me wear it!"
