Day 2: Do you like cheese?

Aphmau decided to have Katelyn, Lucinda, and Kawaii~Chan over for a sleepover. Of course, they just had to talk about boys. One in particular.

“He’s cute...” Lucinda giggled. “But the roughed up look makes him hot!”

Katelyn chucked, “That’s what I said. But honestly, I wouldn’t get involved with him. He seems a bit creepy. He glares at everyone and doesn’t talk at all-”

“I’d totally get involved. Hey, try to talk to him. Ask him a random question. “Do you like soccer? Do you like books?”

Kawaii~Chan giggles. “Same here. Hes sorta cute.”

“Hey, Kawaii~Chan... did you leave a note on my locker?” Aphmau asks, remembering the weird sticky note on her locker from earlier. She forgot to text her. 

“No? I went home right after school. Why? What’d it say?” Kawaii~Chan responds, looking puzzled. “What if it was that Aaron guy?! Ooh, Aphmau has a secret admirer!!” Everyone huddled up around Aphmau, asking her questions.

“It said ‘You’re cute...I guess.’ Do you think anyone was listening in on our conversation at lunch today?” Aphmau panicked. Lucinda started “Ooh-ing” and giggling.

“Dunno. But Kawaii~CHan is right. You might have a secret admirer. But it can’t be Aaron. How would he know where you locker is? And how would he have heard us at lunch? He’s not a werewolf....”

“Whoever it is is very vague. “Anonymous...”....lets wait until tomorrow. “ Katelyn suggests and everyone nods. “Now...who wants to do a charcoal facemasks?” 

"Ms. Aphmau why are you late?” the teacher asked moments after Aphmau busted into the classroom. 

“Uh...My mom wanted to talk to me about something personal.” Aphmau replied sheepishly. It was a lie, Sylvanna wasn’t even at home at the time. She was at her job. 

“You’re still late. That’s your fourth tardy this week, Ms. Aphmau. 3 more and you’ll get detention.Have a seat.” The teacher spoke harshly, as if she had a specific hatred for Aphmau. Or maybe teenagers in general.

“I hate World History.” Aphmau mumbled as she sat at an empty table. 

Before the teacher could start teaching, the door opened once again.“Mr. Lycan. Care to explain why you are late?”

Aaron said nothing. He gave the late slip to the teacher and quietly walked to his seat. Sitting himself next aphmau, he opened his backpack and took out his notebook. 

“So we are continuing on the french revolution-” The teacher started and Aphmau soon lost focus. She ended up staring at the boy next to her.

“Are you going to continue staring at me?” Aaron suddenly growled lowly, so only she could hear. Aphmau started to panic. 

“I- Uh- D-Do you like cheese?” She stuttered, before realising what she said. 

Aaron gave a funny look, before chuckling. “Sure, I like cheese I guess.”

Aphmau rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. “That’s nice...”

The teacher stopped teaching, staring at the back of the class. “Whoever is talking back there, stop.”

Day 1: Noticed

“Mija! Hurry up or you’ll be late for school!” Yelled a very frustrated mother. Aphmau was supposed to be in the car 15 minutes ago but she slept in a little bit. “Coming!!” Aphmau rushed through the house. Brush her teeth, grab her bookbag, put on socks, do a little bit of makeup- check, check, and check! Its been a while since she woke up this early, so she’s a little groggy.

Grabbing her car keys, she got into the car and drove furiously to school. She had Ms. Johnson for her first hour, and she gives out so many tardies. After parking, she sprinted through the parking lot and into Phoenix Drop High School. The moment she entered class, the bell rang. “I’m so lucky...” She muttered to herself and sat down in a seat in the back, next to a boy with jet black hair and blackish grey eyes. Roughed up a bit, with scars all over his face. But what startled her was the scary look he had on his face. ‘He must be a new kid.’ She thought.

“What are you looking at?” He says and Aphmau flinches.

“S-Sorry...” She looks away and takes out her Algebra || homework. She closes her eyes and sighs. ‘This is going to be a long day...’

At lunch, she sat with her best friend Katelyn and Kawaii~Chan. Kawaii~Chan freaking out about her ship of Laurence and Garroth. Katelyn who was rolling her eyes and complaining about how that was a trash ship. Aphmau was dosing off into space, staring at the new student.

“Haha, right Aphmau?” Kawaii~Chan says playfully. Snapping out of it, Aphmau fake laughs and nods.

Katelyn raises her eyebrows, “You think Laurence and Garroth would be a good couple?”

“Huh?!” Aphmau exclaims. “No! No!” She waves her hands infront of her face. “I wasn’t paying attention. But hey, whos that?” Aphmau nods her head towards the new kid.

Katelyn catches on. “Him? Oh he’s the new kid in my math. Aaron... I think. He’s kinda scary, but hes cute I guess.” Kawaii~Chan nods excitingly.

‘Hmm...’ Aphmau had always been attracted to anything mysterious. Curiosity killed the cat...but satisfaction brought it back...right?”

———

Stopping by her locker, she notices a yellow sticky note. “Oh god...please don’t tell me I have a detention...” Aphmau mumbled under her breath. But what she saw truly shocked her.

You’re cute...I guess.

‘Ugh, Kawaii~chan and her ships. She’s probably going to torment me about his forever.’ Aphmau thought. ‘Oh well...”
