token black friend

“That’s… A good idea,” She admitted, lowering her arm away from the lock and looking towards him with an embarrassed half-smile. “Whatever, I’ll just ask her tomorrow– what’s up?”

“I got you,” he said with a laugh,"most people don't know about it but the same thing happens to me every year." He raised up a large stack of papers so she could see them,”just working on debate stuff. No one had bothered to make hard copies of the case file yet so I decided just to do it.” He actually didn’t have anything better to do with his time but he didn’t say that. 

He furrowed his brows. “Yeah, I suppose it is but to my knowledge you don’t go by Ronnie. To my knowledge, I’m the only one in this school that goes by the name Ronnie. Who is it,though? The person that managed to confuse the two of us, I mean.”

Josie: will you go costume shopping with me? I have to find something fab

“Also, are you aware that a kid thinks we are the same person?”

“Congrats on finally finding the room,” he replied. Ronnie frowned,” no? What kid thinks we’re the same person?”

A look of disgust crossed over Ronnie’s face. He hated gym class.”Here,” he said feeling uncharacteristically sympathetic to her plight,” you can hide in the Academic Decath room, he literally will never find you in there.”

“I, uh… I’m just putting up posters for the play,” He said with a lopsided smile. “We’re doing it in November, but Miss Tolouse likes to get the word out early,” He explained, arms still raised over his head to get the poster high up enough on the wall. "You like Shakespeare?”

“I suppose it’s better to get the word out early but does it really need to be a whole month in advance?” A small smile found its way onto Ronnie lips,”I don’t like Shakespeare, I love Shakespeare.”

He did not really know what he was expecting but it sure wasn’t that. “Oh,” he replied trying to wrap his mind around the fact that the person before him was in fact stealing a plant. “A good fertilizer would probably get it back to normal,” he said,” and to have some of the dead leaves removed.”

“…This is totally my locker, don’t worry,” She said with a chuckle. “I just haven’t used it all year and sorta forgot the combination… This is embarrassing.”

“Oh,” he said relaxing almost immediately when he recognized that it was her. He chuckled,” that is quite the problem. You should try to find Miss Wong, she should have a list of all of the lockers and there combinations in her office.”
