Hey just a warning this chapter has some harsh language and insensitive comments... so just saying, I did warn you.
The cheapest coach buses the school could find rolled up to the building and made that ghastly sound, when air pressure is released and it stings your ears at 8:00 in the morning.
Today was the senior trip! No one was really looking forward to it but they threw their bags in the under compartments of the bus anyway and trudged along into the cramped aisles, offering weak 'Thank you's' to the driver that was with them for the next 3 and half to 4 hours.
Olivia was energized for some reason. She was ready to start jamming and have fun. She walked to the back and sat next to Jacob Ballard, aka Jake. She and Jake had been friends since 7th grade, but he's changed. In seventh grade he was… normal, but since "certain" family events occurred in eighth grade he was "depressed".
He actually seemed depressed at first, but now it's just a ploy to get attention from anyone he could. It pissed Olivia off that he always complained, because in her eyes the more someone repeatedly thought of something, the more they believed it, and he was starting to believe what his mind was cooking up. Nevertheless, when it was just them he was kind of normal. He didn't have much friends, and for that reason he tried to please her in anyway, so naturally, she used him.
She didn't really feel bad about it, he got human communication and time to talk to another, and she got, well whatever she asked for. Not like expensive jewelry or anything, just rides to work and answers to homework. But still if she were to ask for something, even something expensive he would get it for her.
She took a seat on the matted down, carpet-like, fuzzy chairs and slid her backpack under her chair. She smiled at Jake.
" Today's gonna be a good day!" Olivia smiled cheekily and nodded her head while moving to a beat only she knew that was etched into the schemes of her brain.
"How are you so awake?" Jake groggily replied to Olivia's upbeat expression.
"I don't know… why is everyone so dead?! I want to jam!"
Olivia looked over to her friend Alex who had also attended their middle school and was very active with Olivia in theater.
Alex smiled weakly and replied to Olivia's curious eyes, "We will… sunday candy?"
Olivia nodded her head profusely and repeated, "Yes!"
"Alright, right before we get there we'll sing the whole song." Alex turned her body, molding it into the seat and kicking her legs up.
There were a handful of empty seats due to the fact there school was small
The senior class exceeded no more than 100 kids total.
Olivia turned back to Jake.
"You know you can put your bag up there." Jake stated as he pointed to the upper compartment meant for personal items, and bags.
"Oh, ok." Olivia took her backpack and stood on her tiptoes to slide her backpack in with ease.
Jake let his eyes roam all over her body.
Olivia could feel it, but to her Jake had always been kind of creepy, his awkwardness with interactions just made Olivia think he was just one of those people watchers. Which he was. But he starred, in the end, she didn't like him and he didn't like her, so she didn't feel uncomfortable.
It was just normal Jake.
"You look good today." Jake stated.
"Thanks." Olivia replied with a tight smile.
She wore Kim Possible pants that were a bright, jean blue, and a tight cream undershirt along with dirt brown hiking boots.
They're supposed to go hiking tomorrow.
Olivia looked at the filled seats, that were occupied just 2-3 rows more in the back.
A clique that she was friends with, that appreciated the same taste in music as she, and directly behind Jake's seat, sat Fitzgerald Grant III.
Fitz attended their middle school way before she, when she came in at 7th grade and met Jake, Fitz was one of her best friends along with Luke.
Fitz and Luke were geeks that got the best grades in the school, but over the years they kind of drifted apart. Still civil towards one another, but Luke got conceded with his more than proficient, academic performances and became prideful. Olivia still likes them both, but she's moved on. "Alright, we're taking attendance, when you're called say 'here'." Olivia's advisor declared.
As the bus ride continued Olivia's energetic mood began to settle. The last hour of it was fun though. They all joked, and sang along to well known songs and even broke out 2008 Lil Wayne.
Alex sang along to Sunday Candy with everyone else in the back of the bus while Olivia rapped the verses.

Once apon arriving to the Vermont lodge the two busses unloaded every senior and teacher there was.
The seniors were told to place all of their items in one room. Everyone's limbs were tired from the cardboard-like chairs that the bus offered. And this 50 something year old was talking their ears off about the rules and shit. Most of the students created side conversations, now being excited for this trip.
The boys rooming groups were called and they all left, leaving the girls to be directed.
Once the Olivia's friends were called they began to hoot and screech with excitement.
Olivia had a huge group of friends and they all put each other down on their personal rooming lists, so obviously they were all rooming with each other except two of the girls that were in their friend group.
Their spots had been taken by girls who used to be in their group. Olivia liked them, Olivia didn't cause drama, the other girls in the group did. Olivia was just glad to be rooming with her best friend out of everyone else in their friend group, Elise.
They talked shit about everyone and created daily inside jokes, the only difference between the two is Elise was on the more shy side if she didn't know you.
They got upstairs to their living quarters for the next 24 hours.
"Readyyyy to get some D-I-C-K tonight ladies?!" Olivia exclaimed, turning to show her backside while twerking. She rotated in between gyrating her hips slowly, and moving in circles.
Everyone laughed.
"Ok, we get it you like penis." Elise acted annoyed.
"Yo, who the FUCK snores at night?" Olivia demanded.
"Zoey!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"Alright, you're out Zo, get packing, get the fuck out." Olivia said with a straight face.
Everyone made jokes and caught up with each other while passing around snacks they had brought along and things they purchased while they stopped at a rest area.
They hung out until it was time to get packed like sardines on the bus again. And adventure to some Vermont shuttle to take them up a mountain.
Again, Olivia sought out for the back seats and grabbed her own seat in the shuttle with Jake settling for a seat in front of her. Fitz was on the other side of the shuttle one seat behind her, and her friends scattered in sets that were in front of her.
On the ride, the view was beautiful. There was a beautiful contrast of colors between ash greys of the mountain, to the vibrant greens of flaky trees that seemed to shrink the higher the altitude became. The blue. She didn't know specifically where, but there was blue, everywhere her ocular lenses could take in its resilient undertones and it made her… happy.
She wouldn't mind living here, getting to breathe Vermont's filtered air.
The higher the shuttle got, the more slanted the train car became, defying gravity so one could look like Michael Jackson slanting in mid air.
Olivia got up and completed this action multiples times while laughing, and then gripped the top of the empty back seats and used her upper body strength to lift herself up. In attempts to levitate sideways.
Fitz got up and laughed joining her and showing his abilities to complete the task she couldn't.
"Nice!" Olivia yelled and applauded at his strength.
He was the captain of the school's football team and he worked out daily. He has a protein fetish or something, it can't be healthy, Olivia thought.
He had by far the best, and most defined body at school. Olivia didn't pay it much attention, being she was Fitz's friend since 7th grade.
"Yo, give me some!" Olivia hollered at Fitz holding her hand in a way one only does if they want a dap.
Fitz dapped her up and they continued to fuck off in the back while other friends joined in.

The top of the mountain was freezing. The air whipped every which way and blew white fog into Olivia's face.
She along with every other student entered the warm lodge at the top of the mountain and roamed around. Olivia and her friends wandered around the gift shop. Olivia was feeling the soft fabric of a tie dye Vermont sweatshirt when Fitz walked up next to her.
"What up?" Fitz smiled.
Olivia smiled back, "Nothin' bro. You getting anything?"
Fitz started looking through the racks seemingly unpleased with the options.
Olivia saw the pile of bandana caps they had for sale. One was black with red and orange flames on it. Olivia grabbed it and put it on Fitz's head.
Olivia gasped dramatically causing Fitz to rush to a nearby mirror.
" You look so hot." Olivia clutched at her thin lululemon running jacket and pulled it off her chest biting her lip, fake seductively.
"Yeah, I know." Fitz smiled into the mirror and held up hand guns, clicking his teeth together two times.
"Actually, you're not as cute as you think." Olivia walked over to the pile again and choose an army bandana cap that said, "Vermont is for Lovers, Too." In small, yellow print. Olivia threw it at him and demanded "Put it on."
Fitz did as he was told, tied a knot in the back so it wouldn't slip off and looked up at Olivia.
"Omg!" Olivia squealed.
Fitz gave a confused look.
"No, that's the one, damn you look so hot you make me want to buy one." Olivia laughed.
"Ight let's get em." Fitz took his off and paid for his. Olivia got one for her and they walked out ready to mess around more. They found another little shop with many other seniors in it and found a section with kids toys.
Fitz picked up a toy sling shot and flung an eraser at Olivia.
Olivia doesn't like to lose, or be humiliated, or even dominated by another. So she grabbed the closest thing by her which was a rubber popper.
She peeled back the opening of the toy, held it slanted and fired at Fitz. He was hit in the face and not long after the rest of the seniors in the shop started flinging anything they could while shielding their bodies with racks of clothing , and occasionally grabbing someone else to be their human shield.

Once Fitz's friends were all transported up the mountain on different shuttles because they were in different advisories, Olivia and Fitz went back to their normal groups.
Fitz was ALWAYS eating and ordered clam chowder from the little restaurant inside.
Olivia decided to go outside, roam around with some friends.
The wind lashed against her caramel-mocha skin. Her ears became red, and cheeks flushed.
Some friends came up to her and asked her to snap some pics.
She took pictures of her classmates, while trying out every possible angle in every position she could think of.
"Yeah!" Olivia acted like a photographer and squated down, crouching to get a lower angle while the fog was blowing to capture the perfect pic of her classmates.
After the mini photoshoot she went on an adventure with Elise. They jumped down the slippery rocks, some were covered with neon green moss, as others were bare.
Olivia slipped and broke her index fingernail on her right hand.
"Fuck!" Olivia hissed.
Elise having witnessed the whole thing was laughing her ass off.
Olivia gave her the finger and they proceeded to explore.
X
On the way down the mountain everyone departed on the same shuttles. Olivia's shuttle sat in the same spots.
Olivia had her friend Zoey take out a pack of cards so they could play a game.
"What do you want to play?" Zoey asked everyone in the back.
"Go fish!" Olivia exclaimed. It's not like they had room or the counter space to play an intricate game.
"Who the fuck even knows how to play that game anymore?" Olivia's friend Jasmine inquired.
"Shut up." She looked at Zoey and said," Just deal Zo."
After two rounds Fitz was in the game and Olivia took all of his cards.
"Do you have a… seven?" Olivia smirked. She knew he did cuz he can't play cards for shit, she could see all of his numbers.
"What the hell Liv?!" Fitz gave her his two sevens.
"I'm the Queen baby!" Olivia threw down her cards and curtsied, retreating to the very back of the bus to chill.
"And don't ya'll bitches forget it." Olivia added as she slipped into the comfy, black seat. Just staring outside.
The rest of the group, Fitz, Jake, Zoey, and Jasmine continued playing.
X
At diner time all of the seniors were in a fairly big room that had fine-cut wood as welcoming and warm interior.
Olivia felt like she was damn near raised in the country being in this hill billy lodge.
They had animal skulls on the walls and tusks. The seniors were staying in a lodge for average backpackers. Olivia kept eyeing her crush Stephen Finch. Who was on the other side of the room. She's been attracted to him since the first day he attended her school in sophomore year. She zoned out, remembering him walk in her chemistry class. But, he liked the prettiest friend in her group, Imani. Imani had a beautiful creamed coffee complexion, green eyes and moana soft waves that cascaded down her shoulders.
But imani turned him down because she thought he was too cocky.
That same year he found a freshman girlfriend.
Olivia wasn't attracted to anyone else.
Junior year her and Stephen got closer after he broke up with his girlfriend. That disgusting bitch cheated on him.
Olivia shook her head remembering the verbal, physical, and emotional abuse Stephen went through, and she wanted more than anything to give him, even half the love he gives to the girls he has affection for.
Last year her and Stephen were already friends, but Stephen's possessive girlfriend had always stunted the growth of their friendship. (Until… he found out she gave some ugly ass loser a blow job in the back of a car and gave up a cheap fuck just for attention… just sayin)
Olivia brought a whole bag filled to the brim with candy, chips, cookies, and anything she could throw in the bag that she thought he would like. She got it with her own money.
She was there to pick up the pieces, comfort him, and when she gave him the gift the next day he wrapped his arms around her small frame and squeezed tight.
He whispered to her in her ear while still holding her, "Thank you." He sounded so small, so fragile, yet so strong and all Olivia could do was breathe in his scent and hold on to his firm back.
But that moment only lasted for however long an interaction lasts when it's just friends.
Not even two weeks after the break up was he talking to a senior, Emily who told Olivia to her face she was just using him for attention.
Olivia informed him about Emily's confession, trying to get his attention in anyway she could.
No one has ever liked her in a way to be more than best friends, she just wanted to feel what it was like, for someone to want her, from someone she also had feelings for.
When Stephen realized Emily was fucking him over and using him, he switch gears and told Olivia he had feelings for her best friend, Elise.
Olivia was heated. How could he have not understood her attraction towards him?
The way in which she would do anything just to make him smile.
"Olivia!" Elise banged on the table, effectively getting her attention.
Olivia looked up into Elise's eyes.
"Looking like That's so Raven having a vision. You ok?" Elise got the whole table laughing.
"Yeah, what the fuck is up with Jasmine?"
"There's not enough space at this here table for her and Ted to sit here, so you know she is over there with Jay crying." Samantha chimed in.
"Ugh, Ted how can you deal?" Elise asked in a painful sounding voice.
"I'm gonna beat Jay's face in." Ted tried to say sinisterly.
"No, you won't, shut the fuck up Ted." Olivia slammed down her fork, not pleased with the food options and opted out for her glass of ice water.
Ted laughed quietly at Olivia's ability to see through bull shit he really hated jay though. Whenever Jasmine got upset she would run to Jay in attempts to make Ted jealous to get attention.
It worked.
The whole group was fed up with Jasmine and Jasmine knew it.
X
The group was still sitting at the table when Elise showed the group a picture of Fitz on top of a mountain, shirtless, wearing his army bandana cap.
Olivia grabbed the phone and stood up yelling Fitz's name across the room.
Once they made eye contact she showed him the picture and clutched it in between her breasts dramatically, and mouthed, 'Call me.' While making a phone with her right hand and holding it up to her mouth emphasising that he should "call her".
This got Stephen's attention and she was ecstatic on the inside.
Her and Stephen weren't in the best of places though.
A week before school she texted him, saying she had feelings for him. Asking if he wanted to hang out sometime.
He replied saying, "Yeah, we should chill."
Olivia texted back asking when he wanted to get together, but he never answered.
She got the hint.
He didn't even open the text.
She still for whatever reason liked him. She didn't want to with all her being, but it was inevitable.
Fitz blew her a kiss and yelled, "It's all for you baby!"
Olivia caught the kiss and pretended to eat it dramatically.
Her whole table laughed. "Sometimes I don't know what to do with you, you're so weird!" Elise exclaimed.
"Beats being basic." Olivia shrugged as she dug in to dessert.
X
The next day the advisories were split up individually. They began summiting the mountain, taking pictures along the way, sharing stories with classmates.
Once at the top she saw Stephen. He came over to her and they looked at the beautiful view.
"Hey, Steve… I just wanted to apologize for-"
"Nah, it's cool." Stephen cut her off with a wink. "Can you take a picture of me?"
"No prob." Olivia smiled 1,000 Watts and made a photoshoot out of it.
"Tilt your head… yep, yep, ok poke your ass out a little." Olivia directed and Stephen followed.
They were laughing hysterically.
Olivia had him look through all of them and he found his favorite.
"I'm posting this one!" Stephen exclaimed.
"Photo Creds, boi!" Olivia told him.
"Of course." Stephen said as he and Olivia sat and ate their provided lunches.
"Ham or turkey? I swear if you say the wrong one… I'll hate you."
"Ham."
"Ewwww!" Olivia screeched. "You're nasty, I think I have ham."
"I got turkey. Just give me yours." Stephen compromised.
"I already took a bite."
"Me too, who cares I did too."
They swapped sandwiches.
Stephen took a big bite of his looking out into the view while Olivia stared at the already bitten sandwich ecstatic that he would even trade.
But she honestly didn't know where his mouth has been so she had to ask.
"You have aids?"
Stephen started choking. He almost spit out his food, but tried to hold it in, and Olivia was dead serious judging by the look on her face as he was trying not to laugh.
He calmed himself momentarily allowing his muscles to be relaxed, so he could swallow his food.
He then burst out laughing shaking his head, "No!"
A smile grew on Olivia's face. She was enjoying seeing him laugh, but knowing she was the reason for his laughter.
X
The rest of the trip was amazing. Olivia was really enjoying her time in Vermont and hopefully making an impression on Stephen.
Everyone packed on the bus, this time seniors had the option of choosing their own bus. Lucky for her Jake didn't know that until after he'd settled.
Fitz and Stephen were behind her.
Other smooth talking trouble makers were in the back.
The ride home was entertaining. With speakers bumping all the right songs to the conversations, and truth or dare's.
Things were finally looking up for Olivia she really felt a connection with Stephen.
Stephens attention was being held by Brianna, one of the girls that she roomed with and she knew since 7th grade along with most of the others. Olivia did not like the way stephen was looking at Brianna.
What did she have that Olivia didn't?
Brianna and Stephen even had their own sound effect. They came up with from who knows where.
Olivia was getting annoyed so she just chatted with Fitz. Fitz was on the other side of the bus, so they could have a face-to-face conversation.
Olivia forgot how funny and easy to talk to Fitz was.
He got her to the point of tears and her stomach ached from laughing so much.
"Hey, where your bandana cap?" Fitz asked gently.
"It's in my bag." Olivia smiled.
"Get it."
Olivia got hers and put hers on not after making a scene of getting it in her bag and vying for Stephens attention.
She returned to Fitz while he got his. Olivia took it out of his hands and sat in the seat next to him on her knees because Fitz was so tall.
She gently slid the cap over his head and tied it tight in the back.
He looked like he was going to enlist right there in that moment.
"If I saw you wearing this cap and a uniform after WWII and you kissed me while I was out in the city cheering for our honorable men, I would've made you mine." Olivia randomly said.
"Why during that time period?" Fitz looked into her eyes.
Olivia touched out with her right hand smoothing out his shirt and "fixing" it while answering.
" I don't know you just remind me of one of those hot soldiers in those black and white photos you know?" Olivia looked up into his eyes and smiled.
"Did Olivia Pope just say that I Fitzgerald Grant III am… ATTRACTIVE?" Fitz's eyes bulged out and his words caught the attention of those closeby.
Olivia started laughing hysterically, "Boy you thought!" Olivia was almost choking she was laughing so hard, "You really thought… I… wasted one of my brain cells on… attraction… for YOU?!"
Olivia stopped laughing suddenly and said, "You're right… will you marry me?"
Fitz loved her sarcasm and couldn't help but to be infected by her edge.
"I will marry you, but promise me this, I having never been touched by a perverted female will vow to maintain abstinence, therefore we will live a long life of celibacy."
"Fuck that!" Olivia laughed.
They continued to talk and joke around for the remainder of the bus ride.
X
Three Days Later
Olivia asked for Fitz's shirtless pic in their group chat because she thought it was hilarious. Then, Zoey and Imani started asking if Olivia liked Fitz. Olivia jokingly said yes and played it up the more the conversation progressed. Saying comments of, "I really like Fitz, why can't you guys support me?" Effectively mind tricking her friends. For whatever reason playing games with other brought her pleasure.
Elise texted Olivia privately sharing confessions of uncontrollable laughter, and all the other girls were asking her if she actually liked Fitz.
The next day in school she talked with Fitz at lunchtime. Moving closely to him and acting flirty on the outside, but what she was really telling him was her plan.
Her friends observed intently while Elise masked her laughter.
There wasn't any drama in her small ass school! It was boring and she wanted to fuck with her friend group, and who knows, maybe the whole grade.
Olivia leaned into Fitz's ear, her straight hair brushed against the tight polo that covered his chest.
"Hey, my whole friend group besides Elise thinks I like you, and vice versa, um… would you be interested in being my fake boyfriend?" Olivia's lips lingered next to the shell of his ear as her eyes roamed his face his lips quivered quickly as he thought of a response.
"Yes! Of course I'll help you fuck with your friends, and potentially this whole school."
"Yes!" Olivia did a little dance, trying to make herself comfortable, she sat on his lap awkwardly, stole a piece of paper he had in a small stack next to his binder and jotted down her number.
Olivia didn't know what else to say or how to leave the situation without too much awkwardness, so she just held up her palm flat and Fitz got the message.
They high fived each other so hard the slap hurt, but it made an awesome sound so they didn't care.
"Text you later babe." Fitz blew her kisses.
"Ditto, babe." Olivia laughed at this new fake relationship and then realized she's never been in a relationship and quickly ran back to him. Sitting next to him.
"Fitz, actually what do people in relationships do? Like how do I become a girlfriend? Or how do I… treat you, or what do I do with you?" Olivia rambled rapidly.
"Hey, it's fine just be you, it's fake you'll be fine."
"But, I want to make it believable…" Olivia was disappointed in herself for being so inexperienced.
"We will, you know I've only dated Jenell, and… anyways I am not the one you should be asking that question to." Fitz's ex had cheated on him with another senior, Trent. Fitz was beside himself, but he believed time heals wounds, maybe doing this stupid prank with Olivia can help him have fun and turn his attention elsewhere..
"Ok, ttyl boi." Olivia walked away determined to just be herself and not stress over being in a fake relationship.
X
Later that night
Olivia's phone chimed and greeted her with, "Hey it's Fitz."
She opened the message and typed back, "Hey boyyy! What should I put you in as my contact?"
After the message was sent she was presented with a blue bubble.
Thank God he has an Iphone. Olivia thought out loud. Where she lives doesn't have the best signals, so imessage is very helpful.
In lightning speed Fitz typed back, "Daddy."
Another bubble popped up from him, "Definitely daddy."
"I put you in as 'Daddy Cakes' with a cake emoji." Olivia replied.
"Alright what should I change it to?" Fitz requested.
"Hmm… I don't know… When you have sex what is a name u want to call a girl?" Olivia asked.
"Dude how on earth would I know?"
"What's a name you want to say?"
"I don't know!"
"Don't use exclamation points on me! Boy I'm tryna help, fine just put 'Olivia' with a dumb ass emoji, damn guys are always basic." Olivia laughed out loud before sending the text.
"What would you wanna be called?"
"Mami, so I can call him Papi, but I kind of envisioned it with… like a spanish or black guy. And you're not, so that won't work. Just pick whatever idc."
"What do you envision a white guy saying, and doing?"
"I have no idea! I had a bad experience with one… never again hbu?"
"I have no idea, I'm way too awkward." Fitz sighed while typing on his screen.
"What did you say to Jenell?" Olivia's text caused his phone to vibrate.
"Idk we usually stuck to Fitz, and Jenell unless we were trying to make people around us uncomfortable, then she might call me dad or daddy or something like that but it was rare cause it feels fucking weird."
Olivia laughed out loud at his confession and had to ask,
"Did u guys flirt? Cuz I have NO idea how to do that."
Fitz shook his head reading her last message and typed, "Dude you're better off than me, idk how to do this shit. I'm heckin lost. Like I said I'm awkward af, even for a white teenage nerd."
They both laughed at Fitz's message.
Olivia wrote "What do you mean!? I'm so awkward sitting on your lap I had no idea what to say."
The message delivered and soon followed another by her, "I've never been in a relationship."
Fitz eyes bulged out of his sockets when he read that, he didn't believe it.
"Wait really? Never once?"
"Nope." "Anyways… you and Jenell... U know… do it, before you guys broke up?"
Olivia wanted to change the subject and was happy Fitz got the message when she saw his next reply, "Nope, that's the other thing we didn't really get anywhere in that way, I'm too awkward to make a move and we were always in public, like I only went into her house once for like 5 mins and the one time she came to mine my family was there. Plus her dad is huge doesn't like dudes dating his daughter and loves to shoot."
Olivia chuckled softly and decided to learn more about her fake bf.
"Hey, since you know we're fake dating I think we should actually know things about each other,
What's your fav color, food, and what's your middle name?"
Fitz's response didn't take long, "green, fav food (Ik this sounds all snobby and gay, but don't judge it's good I've only had it once) steak au poivre, and middle name's Thomas.
Ok, Olivia couldn't help but laugh at the favorite food.
"Ok, what's yours?" Fitz inquired.
"White, popcorn (DON'T FUCKING JUDGE!) Middle name's Carolyn."
"Nice. What else don't we know about each other? Also, popcorns not food." Fitz pondered until his phone lit up.
"Popcorn is my favorite food, therefore it is food! Have you ever watched gay porn?"
"What the fuck?" Fitz yelled out loud and chuckled at her spontaneity.
"Um… no, no, no. I'm straight, ENTIRELY, have you?"
Olivia's next reply shocked him.
"Yep."
Before Fitz could ask Olivia sent another question. "Hmmm you like cheese?"
Fitz sent the laughing emojis, "Um yeah I'm a fan, hbu?"
"Yes, I am too kind sir."
Olivia fired another, "Given the chance who in the school, besides me would you exterminate?"
Fitz shook his head, "Ok, first of all I would not kill you even if you were an option, prolly Trent, and even then I wouldn't kill him, just beat the living shit outta him. Hbu?"
Olivia sent laughing emojis. "Trent?! Um I would Mia, honestly one less of her in the world… I'm doing a service for this country."
Fitz looked at the screen with a cracked smile, glad to know someone else was as cynical as him.
"Actually u know what, you're right I'm going with Bret instead. On the off chance he meets a female version of himself, I don't want them to stay in the gene pool."
"Good One! ;-) His head is so fucking Huge!" Olivia was laughing hysterically.
"Ik, and he just keeps shoveling food into his black hole of a mouth. Oh my God and then when we're in a goddamn science class or even math he'll answer questions ppl ask the teacher or he'll say some stupid shit like, "oh yeah well what about black holes" As if he just made an actual point even though he's just displaying how brain dead he is cause he just googled physics and read the first blog that came up. Or sometimes he says, "yeah that's right" after a teacher says something as if he has to agree with it or approve it for it to be true." Fitz had to end his rant. He really disliked that motherfucker.
Olivia's stomach hurt from laughing so much, because she knows exactly what he's talking about.
After her laughing subsided and the stomach contractions died down, hiccups still remained.
"Ok, one person in the grade, who would you fuck?"
"Just in the school or can it be anyone?" Fitz didn't know if he could fully trust her with the info, and to be honest there isn't really anyone special in their school.
"Sure, it can be anyone."
"A pornstar or something but cuz I feel like they'd know what they're doing, and I wouldn't."
"Omg! Me too now that you say that. There's this guy I watch and if I ever met him idc I where we are I would let him have his way with me."
After a couple minutes of no reply she decided to ask another question.
"U like skinny girls or thicker girls?"
Olivia herself was thicker than most of the girls at her school. She thought that guys were supposed to like that but Stephen and other guys she's had crushes on the skinnier girls, with no ass or titties.
"Sorry I was in the shower, and definitely thicker girls all the way, what kind of guys do you prefer?"
"Thicker, def. I could never with a… skinny guy I'd break him."
"That's exactly why I like thicker girls too!'
Olivia and Fitz started talking about their aspirations and future plans. The flow of the convo was so natural it's like they never stopped being friends.
"When you go into the air force and become a sexy pilot just don't turn gay… ok?"
"Actually that's one of my backup plans, becoming a male stripper." Fitz joked wondering how Olivia would respond.
"But seriously they would be lucky to have you in whatever field you pursue. Remember if you want something, say it's yours, work for it and just like that you've got it."
Fitz flashed a brilliant smile when he read the text.
"Thanks."
After Olivia didn't respond, thinking the convo was momentarily on hold Fitz surprised her with his next text.
"Okay… I still can't believe you haven't been in a relationship before. It makes like no sense."
Olivia's face contorted into 50 different folds of confusion.
"How?! Look at me, also white guys don't really like black girls, or at least any I know, cuz that's all there is in this town."
Sometimes Olivia felt very self conscious because she was so different, so she had to play it off, be the funny, charming, and cool black girl so others would accept her and erase all bad stigma they might have had about her race. It was sad, but true. Also the boys seemed to definitely be intimidated, like she wasn't even a normal girl but something that needed extra assistance or something. Although she couldn't understand what that 'extra' thing was causing her to feel insecure.
"Really? Gurl you look fine af."
"It's who you like man, it's who you like… I just told a guy I had feelings for him/was attracted to him. Didn't go so well."
"Who? If it's not too personal."
Olivia was still upset at Stephen and at herself for ever thinking he could be attracted to a disgusting girl like her.
"Ugh, it doesn't matter. I'm pretty much over them.' She lied. "I didn't want to date them or anything, just… you know." Olivia was sure Fitz would comprehend what she was implying. Yes, last year if Stephen asked her she would've said yes, but it's senior year in high school and relationships at this point… have NO point.
"What happened then? And good that you're over them, they were prolly dumb or blind."
Olivia rehashed the events and couldn't help but spill out to Fitz.
She hasn't even told her friends who she liked. Yet she was giving Fitz information only she and Stephen knew of. Just not letting him in on who this mystery man was.
"Ok I felt awful and I was like maybe if I'm skinnier he would like me, or if I was more attractive. But… I can't keep changing myself." Olivia was trying be be her real self.
Fitz's eyes saddened as he read over her confession. He felt the need to find out where she lived and to hold her tight, but that was off the menu so he just settled for momentary comfort.
"No, honestly you would definitely not look better if you were skinnier, you actually look really good. Like Idk why you're saying "look at me" like girlllll you're beautiful.
"Thanks Fitz, you're ok when it comes to looks as well."
They both chuckled and said goodnight.

The Next Day At School
"Hey Fitsy!" Olivia bumped her hips into his and laughed at his facial expression.
It was the beginning of the day and Fitz looked fresh in a black polo, dark wash jeans, his chains and new J's.
"Hey beautiful." His voice was still husky from sleep, while smirking he towered over her and gave her a hug. It was soft as he didn't know what she was comfortable with.
She possessively slammed his body into hers as Stephen walked past them.
Which caught Stephen's peripheral vision.
Stephen couldn't believe not even a month after
Olivia confessed her attraction and feelings for him, she was with… Fitz but then again Olivia was friends with everyone so, maybe it's just a hug.
Olivia smiled up at Fitz and he smiled back.
Classmates were observing their interaction and it was hilarious.
"This shit is gonna be so fun babe." Olivia drew out the "babe" in a sultry way that made Fitz' blood rushing in certain places.
He got embarrassed but brushed it off blaming it on whatever he could make up in his head.
"I know! Can we have fake fights?" Fitz leaned toward her small ear that was covered with some of her hair.
Olivia laughed at Fitz' question and looked up at the deteriorating ceiling tiles "thinking" with a hand up to her chin, after about 10 seconds concluded, " What's a fake relationship without fake fighting?!"
Fitz chuckled. "May I walk you to class, Me Lady?"
"Why certainly, My kind sir."
I already know my writing is trash, I'm just trying to evolve my abilities.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone knew of a FF with Fitz, and he and Mellie were friends for some years and I think they were involved, but Mellie dated her boss, or slept with him (I think it was Andrew Nichols) Idfk. But Fitz tries to understand Mellies actions by having sex with some sex worker or something and he changes his name and appearance to go undercover by having sex (sexual therapy?)or something idfk I thought I read it but I can't find it anywhere... that was a bad summary but I honestly forget how it went.
