tw: mention of seizures
About a week later, it was the first day of school
Ricky Harper
Ricky woke up very happy on the first day of school...until he heard screaming coming from downstairs. He ran downstairs and into the kitchen. Dicky was having a seizure on the kitchen floor, and, for some reason, his dad was yelling at him.
"Dad, can you stop yelling at Dicky for having a seizure? He can't control it."
"Well, he's distracting everyone."
"He doesn't care though. And he can't hear you anyway."
"Fine."
Ricky went to the dining table and sat with Dawn to wait for breakfast. After breakfast, they all got on the school bus to the high school- Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, Dawn, Carl, and Annalisa.
"Hey guys, do we have any classes together?" Nicky asked the other quads as they sat down
They all looked at their schedules and each other.
"Doesn't look like it," said Dawn
"How is that even possible? There's like 200 kids at this school," said Ricky
"I dunno," said Nicky
"Well, since we don't have any classes together, let's go our ways when we get to school and meet up at lunch to talk about our first 4 classes," said Dawn.
"Ok." they all said
When they got to school, they all went their separate ways, and Ricky went to his first class of the day: algebra. When he got to algebra, he noticed that Carl was in the same class as him, and went to sit next to him.
"Don't sit next to me," said Carl
"Why not?"
"Because. You're just a weird nerd."
Ricky rolled his eyes and went to go sit across the room.
Dawn Harper
Dawn was about to sit down in her first class of the day(English) when she saw 2 girls across the room who were chatting and looked pretty nice. She walked over to them and said:
"Hi, I'm Dawn Har- Nielsen. What's your guyses names?"
"Mae." said the girl in the pink shirt
"Natlee." said the girl with long brown hair
"Can I sit with you guys?"
"Sure," said Mae
Dicky Harper
Dicky walked into PE, his third class of the day, and looked around to see if there was anyone who might want to be his friend. His eyes landed on a boy with curly hair and a very cute smile. He walked over to him and said:
"H-hi. Wh-what's your name?"
"Miles," he said
"I'm Dicky."
"Nice."
"So uh...do you like sports?"
"Meh. I like PE. But sports are meh."
"I agree. So uh...do you like anyone?"
Why did he ask that? That was dumb.
"Yeah, I like Mae Valentine."
"Oh, I don't know her."
"Duh. You're probably new, or I would have seen you around."
"Yeah. Duh."
"You seem kind of awkward."
"Awkward? Me? Nah."
He felt very awkward, as he had never really talked to a guy he liked before.
"Anyways, I should go. Those are my friends over there if you want to sit with us at lunch," he said, gesturing toward a boy with short dark brown hair and another boy with brown hair to his shoulders.
"Ok, see you at lunch."
Nicky Harper
Nicky was walking to the cafeteria when he was stopped by a tall boy with blond hair.
"Hey, are you new?" he said
"Yeah."
"Oh cool. want to sit with us?" he said, gesturing to his friends.
"Uh...no thanks. I told my siblings I'd sit with them"
"Ok."
He walked to the table that Ricky was sitting at. Dawn and Dicky were nowhere in sight.
"Where are Dawn and Dicky?" he asked Ricky."
"Dawns over there." he said, gesturing to a table nearby, "And I don't know where Dicky is."
"Ok."
He walked over to Dawn and said, "Dawn, you going to come sit with us?"
"Uh..." She looked at the girl sitting next to her, who nodded. "Okay."
So they went back and sat with Ricky. Halfway through lunch, Dicky ran up to their table and said,
"Guys! I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"I have a crush on this guy. And I need advice to get to know him better. Also, Dawn, do you know who Mae Valentine is?"
"Yeah, she's the girl i was sitting with over there."
Dicky looked over at them and said, "Oh, Nice. Does she like him too?"
"Yep." Dawn replied.
"Ughhhh," he said as he sat down. "Why do all the boys I like have to end up straight?"
"I mean, he could be bi. You never know." said Nicky.
"I doubt it. You don't see a lot of bi dudes."
"I'm bi." said Nicky.
"Yeah, but besides you. Anyways, any of you have advice for me?"
"Just talk to him." said Ricky.
"I tried that in PE. I was incredibly awkward."
"Ok then, I'll talk to him for you." said Ricky and Nicky at the same time
"We need some friends anyways." said Ricky
So Nicky and Ricky walked over to where Miles and his friends were sitting, and Nicky said
"So, our brother Dicky was talking to you earlier, and we-"
Ricky nudged him hard and whispered, "Don't get into specifics! We don't even know if he'd be nice about it! Let me do it."
Ricky said, "So we have a sibling who may or may not have a crush on you, and we were wondering if you like them back?"
"Who are your siblings?" Miles asked
"Dawn, Dicky, Carl, and Annalisa."
"Oh, nice. I know Dawn from 4th period. It's not her though."
"Who is it then?"
"I... don't know. Why are you asking this?"
"Well-" said Ricky
"Our brother Dicky has a crush on you." Nicky cut in
"Knew it!" yelled one of his friends from behind
"Shhh!" said Miles to his friend, "Look, I'm not gay, ok? Sorry. I completely support it. But I'm not gay."
"Oh. Ok." said Ricky
So they walked back to the table where Dawn, Dicky, and Mae were waiting, and Nicky said,
"Sorry, Dicky. He's not gay."
"Well of course he's not," said Mae. "He likes me."
"Well, does he support at least?" asked Dicky
"Yep."
"Cool."
