My friend Maya is a huge geek. A giant nerd that loves to stay home instead of party, cries over books and anime, and writes 'fanfics' like it's her job to. I am completely okay with this, but sometimes she may get out of control with all the 'feels' that she 'feels'.
She's usually a quiet girl. She obeys the rules, has average grades and barely talks to anyone besides me. Sometimes you can see her in the coffee shop across the street from our high school, just sitting there with piles of books and mangas stacked up beside her looking like she's in a different world. Yup. She seemed happy.
That is. Until Glen Jackson came along.
You see, Maya believes that she is the ultimate fan who understands everything in a story. When she met Glen, two personalities, that were almost the same, clashed. You may think that they got along great, but 'competitive' is also one of their traits.
When they see each other, they glare and look down to see if they were wearing merch or not. They would shoot each other questions, they would debate who was the 'better' character, they would even recommend books, TV shows, anime and mangas like their rivalry doesn't exist. They would both intensely sing Fall Out Boy without caring about anything around them. I'm surprised they haven't felt any 'connection' towards each other yet.
Glen was older than us, about 3 years and he's studying to be a graphic designer in his local college. He seems to be that serious, business man when you see him, but when you get to know him he's actually a giant geek that loves to wear Harry Potter hoodies. I'm really happy that Maya finally found someone who can relate to her.
Though I still can't leave them alone together cause they'll probs find a way to kill each other in 100 ways.
One day, all three of us sat in Club Cafè, the coffee shop across our local high school. It was fairly empty with an old couple near the right, large window, a business man in one of those high stools and us who were sat near the left, large window in a booth where we can see everyone waking by. Glen was lazily sipping his drink while scrolling through Tumblr in his phone (what's that post about carrots and a donut?), Maya was reading a manga beside me and I was working through my math worksheets.
I looked up, staring at my friends in curiosity. I don't see why they don't have that significant other yet since they're both very attractive. Maya with her long, brown, choppy emo hair and beautiful honey colored eyes, and Glen with his curly/wavy black hair and bright gray eyes. That scar that took a bit of his right eyebrow made him look better as well. I stop staring before they could catch me.
"So why haven't you watched One Punch Man yet?" Glen asked Maya who was still flipping through the pages of her manga.
Maya replied, "I haven't finished this manga yet."
Glen sighed, still staring at his phone, "Maybe you should come to my apartment again so we can watch it." I raised my eyebrows at them.
"You invited her to your apartment before?" I asked.
"I'm surprised you guys haven't killed each other."
Glen smirked, "We don't hate - hate each other, we just hate each other."
"Right."
Glen groans stretching his arms out to where Maya is.
"I'm bored."
I saw him staring at her then at her manga. He grabbed her manga, resulting in a raging Maya who was about to grab a fork until I stopped her.
"You're still at this part?" Glen asked, scanning the page with his calculating gray eyes.
"Yes now give it back if you still want your head!"
"Alright, alright." He handed her her manga back. I sighed, going back to my workseet.
"You look cute when you're angry." I froze. I did not look up but I really felt heat radiating from Maya's face.
"W-well... you look really stupid!" Glen chuckled. I looked up, smirking at the two of them. And I was right. Maya's face was red all over and Glen had a soft smile on with tints of pink on his cheeks. His phone suddenly vibrated.
He tapped a few times before saying, "I have to go guys. I'm meeting my younger brother for his doctor's appointment." He got up and grabbed his backpack.
"Is it Finn?" I asked.
Glen shooked his head, "No, Trent. He lives in a nearby town with my doctor of an uncle and I'm picking him up for his eye surgery."
"He's going blind?!"
"No he IS blind. See ya Maya, Demi!" He waved goodbye before exiting the cafe. I turn to Maya who still had a red streak across her face. I giggled.
"You're all red!"
Maya made a noise, "Whatever! That guy is stupid! I know more about Harry Potter than him."
"Looks like it's about to rain," I told Maya looking out the window of the school hallways, "did you bring an umbrella?" I glanced at my brown haired friend and seeing her with her eyes fixed to the ground and her earphones in her ears. She looked at me and lifted her head.
"What?" I gave her a 'really' look. "Nothing."
It was just after school. The hallways were crowded, students were going in and out of classes, and Mr Jackson was surrounded by girls yet again.
"You okay there, Adrian?" I asked asked as we passed by the green-eyed teacher.
"It's Mr Jackson in school, Ms Asia." Mr Jackson reminded me as he shooed the girls away.
"Where's Finn?"
I shrugged, "Probably off to loosen the screws in Mr Pepper's desk." Mr Jackson growled.
"He had to come with me and Glen to Rochdale." Maya perked up, removing one ear bud from her ear.
"Glen's here?"
"Yeah. In the front office. Why?" Maya suddenly had a dark aura surrounding her. Her mouth morphed into an evil grin. "Why that little-" she marched away, unzipping her hoodie revealing an Attack on Titan top.
"That little twat, let's see if he can compete with this!" I watched her figure, fast - walking to the front office.
"Erm. Okay," I turned to Mr Jackson, "why don't I help you find Finn?"
"Why do I need finding?" Finn Jackson stood there beside us in his mighty glory. His black hair was as messy as ever with the bangs split down the middle. His beautiful, mischievous brown eyes held a secret as if he had just pranked the whole school. He wore a white shirt along with his swim team jacket and black jeans.
"I've been looking for you!" Mr Jackson growls grabbing Finn by the hair.
"Hey ouch! I have a good reason!" "Okay then what is it?" I asked, crossing my arms and raising my eyebrows.
Finn sighed, "Jessie Grace was crying about something so I had to go and comfort her." My eyes widened.
"What happened?"
"Sorry. I can't tell. I swore I wouldn't tell anyone." I find that hard to believe. This guy doesn't seem very trustworthy so why would Jessie Grace, his arch - nemesis, trust him with a secret?
"Anyways. We have to pick up Trent right?" Finn asked. Adrian nodded. I followed the two of them to the front office, hoping to bump into Maya on my way.
"Oh shoot, it's raining." Finn groaned. "And why the hades is there sunlight?!"
Adrian shrugged, "Apollo and Zeus are probably fighting." I wasn't surprised by their mythology talk anymore as they have been doing this for the past 3 years since they've been here. We've reached the front office with no Glen nor Maya in sight.
"That idiot." I heard Mr Jackson mutter.
"I'm sure they're here somewhere," I began, not wanting an angry Mr Jackson, "Maybe they're-"
"Wait," I heard Finn shout, "Isn't that Glen and Maya outside in the rain?!" I turn my attention to the large window near the door. Outside, under the rain showers and the sunlight were Glen and Maya. In their hands were colorful water guns and they seem to have fun my soaking each other with water. They both had thick jackets on and wide grins on their faces. I felt my mouth turn into a smile.
"Oh so that's why he bought two water guns." Finn said, still staring at the two. Mr Jackson growled. He barged out the door, putting on his coat with Finn and I going after him. I opened my umbrella and saw Finn doing the same.
"Glen!" Mr Jackson shouted. Glen stopped, his cheeks were red from the cold and his hair was soaking wet.
"Yeah?"
"What did I say about staying put in the front office?"
"But I brought two water guns so me and fangirl over here can have a water gun fight." Adrian rubbed his temples and sighed.
"Alright let's go we're gonna be late." He turned around, heading straight for a black Mercedes Benz with Finn behind him.
Glen frowned, "Pssh. Kill joy. Anyways," He turned to Maya who was equally wet, "wanna hang out tomorrow?"
Maya did a salute, "Do you legally have BBC's Sherlock?"
Glen grinned, saluting, "Yes, sir, ma'am!"
"Then okay!" Glen's eyes brightened up and grin at her once more. He ran towards the car, waving goodbye. He got in and the car drove off to the main road, speeding out of sight. I glance at Maya who still had the water gun in her hands. "You still have the water gun." I told her, pointing to the object.
"I know," she said, "He told me when I see him again I can squirt him with this."
okay, i know how that last part seems wrong but i'm still putting that in there.
