Author's Note

Hey all, Flannel here! I got some comments from some of my viewers that a couple of my story's chapters were all weird. So I checked them and was able to fix them. I'm sorry for any confusion that I might've caused. Hope the rest of my chapters aren't gonna be like that again!

"Another day, another endless school day."

That was the only thought passed through Flaky's head a good five times as she stared at the whiteboard, watching the teacher write down history fact after history fact. She liked school a bit more than most people, but even she got bored of it after a while. She looked around at her classmates and saw most were in the same dazed stupor as her, some asleep or staring straight ahead, bored out of their minds. Cuddles had taken extreme measures to stay entertained by sticking pencils into Toothy's mouth while the violet-haired boy slept on. Petunia and Giggles were both on their smartphones, the brightness dimmed so they didn't catch the teacher's unwanted attention.

Then the bell rang out, freeing the bored teenagers from their prison, I mean school. Flaky walked through the crowded hall and ended up slamming into another person due to the sea of bodies in the hallway. The other students didn't even stop to see if Flaky or the other person needed help as they cleared the hallway and out the front doors of the school. Flaky looked up at the person she hit and saw the yellow eyes of Nutty looking down at her.

"Oh, I'm s-sorry, Nutty! I didn't see y-you!"

"It's fine. You okay?"

Nutty held out his hand and she grabbed it as he pulled his friend up to her feet. Flaky smiled at him and nodded her thanks. He smiled back, keeping a hold on Flaky's hand and the two teens walked, hand in hand, to the front entrance of the school, Nutty trailing his free hand's fingers across the lockers that lined the walls. They walked in silence towards the bus, Flaky's heart beat a bit faster when she noticed they were still holding hands. Mostly though she was slightly confused as Nutty usually talked nonstop to her about whatever was on his mind, whether it was candy or school or their English project.

But no words came from the lemon-lime color haired boy as they climbed the small steps on the bus and walked down the aisle of leather seats smelling of body odor and school lunches, seats which held two sometimes three loud kids ranging from ages eight to eighteen. Luckily there was an empty seat in the back and Nutty slipped into the seat and stared out the window while Flaky sat next to him. While she didn't show it that much, Flaky was growing increasingly worried that she did something wrong or said something wrong to annoy or upset her sugar addicted friend.

The bus came to her stop and kids started getting off the bus, Flaky was about to do the same when she decided against it and sat back down. She was going to fix whatever it is she did to upset Nutty. He noticed she was sitting down still and looked at her, frowning in confusion as the bus drove away from her stop and took her with it.

"This is your stop, isn't it?"

Flaky nodded, "It is, but I'm going to spend more time with my best friend."

"Oh? Who is that? Flippy?"

"Nope."

"Giggles? Petunia?"

"No and no. Try again."

Nutty gave her a small smile, 'Is it me?"

Flaky smiled big and nodded, "Yyuupp!"

The bus ride to Nutty's bus stop was about ten minutes from Flaky, who was surprised how close the two actually lived to each other. The two friends got off the bus walking down the street, passed the freshly mowed lawn of a neighbor and stopped in front of a small blue house with a brown shingled roof. Nutty smiled and spread his arms out wide, like a gameshow host showing off the grand prize.

"Welcome to my house! It's small, but I like it that way. Come on!"

Nutty opened the door and rushed around his small house, with Flaky running after him, They went through the kitchen, living room, down the stairs to his room and back up the stairs to the closet and bathroom. Each room he passed, Nutty would shout out something related to it.

"That's where I sleep! I like my bed!"

"This is my living room, it's got a comfy couch and a television."

"And now my favorite room in my entire house: the kitchen. I eat here, mostly CANDY!"

The house tour finally came to an end with Flaky collapsed on the couch, breathing heavily.

"Is. . .Is the t-tour over now?"

Nutty nodded, a sheepish smile on his face, "Sorry. Guess I got carried away. I was just excited to have a friend over."

Nutty saw next to Flaky, who was able to breathe correctly after a few deep breathes. She gave him a smile and patted his shoulder, "It's fine, I u-understand. So what do you wanna do n-now?"

Nutty shrugged in reply. "Uuhh. . .we could watch a movie."

"Sounds f-fun, let's do it."

So while Nutty fired up Netflix, Flaky went into the kitchen and found some microwave popcorn and put it in the microwave on the counter. It took a couple minutes to make those corn kernels into fluffy popped popcorn and when it was all done. Flaky and Nutty sat next to each other, bowl of popcorn on the coffee table in front of them and started the movie. About halfway through the movie, they sat closer and closer until Flaky had somehow snuggled up against Nutty and he wrapped his arm around her. Either made any questions towards the other and neither teen made any move to separate themselves from the other.

So there they sat, enjoying each other's company and closeness. Soon they fell asleep together with small smiles on their lips in the faint glow and sound of the television.
