Two Red Strings

*first day of senior year intesifies*

"Oh wo-wow. Boys."

Jared laughed for a few seconds before the loud ringing of the bell stopped him. He set Evan down on his feet.

"Fucking homophobic bell."

Evan laughed, "well, see you at lunch Jared! I don't think we have any classes together sadly."

"Yea, see you at lunch Ev."

With that, both Jared and Evan went off to their respective classes.

~🌲~

Jareds bio class was the most boring shit ever. The teacher talked in a monotone voice, and just gave lectures.

So, Jared being the intelligent scholar he is, went to an unblocked streaming website on his school chromebook so he could rewatch My Little Pony. He pulled up the very first episode and pressed play.

A few minutes after watching he got a text. Obviously he checked it.

9:34 am

Hot Topic: Dude, why the fuck are you watching mlp in class

Hot Topic: Im behind you btw

Jared looked behind him, and sure enough, in the row next to him, one seat back, was Connor Murphy. He still looked hot as fuck. Jared turned back around, his face matching the color of his jacket.

9:35 am

Kleinman: fuk off

9:35 am

Hot Topic: No

Hot Topic: Turn on the subtitles

9:36 am

Kleinman: lmao u wnat to watch mlp lol

9:36 am

Hot Topic: Fuck yea.

Hot Topic: This class is so fucking boring

Jared laughed and turned on the subtitles.

9:37 am

Hot Topic: Also stfu my hair looks amazing

9:37 am

Kleinman: hey i never said i didnt like the hair

Kleinman: im just saying it looks like,

Kleinman: future school shooter, #brocen #sad

Jared heard Connor laugh quietly behind him. Jared smiled slightly before pressing play on the episode and angling his computer so Connor could see it more clearly.

The whole setup went pretty well. Jared would pause the episode everytime the teacher walked by. He made the subtitles larger so Connor could read them, and they managed to get through the first two episodes.

Sadly, they got stopped by the teacher saying something that actually relates to school. Unlike the stories about the teacher going to the grand canyon.

"Alright so, while we won't be starting any projects on the first day. I do want to give you guys predetermined partners for all future projects."

This led to a lot of murmurs in the classroom. The class didn't seem to take it well.

The Teacher ignored the very negative reaction from the students, and proceeded to read out who would be partners. Academically.( Or romantically ;33)

"Ok so, for partners we have, hhh lets see," the teacher looked down at her clipboard, "Camari Davis and Maddie Smith,"

Both Jared and Connor tuned out, so did the rest of the class. Unless they heard their name of course. Jared and Connor were thinking about each other. Something they never thought they'd do.

"Then we have Jared Kleinman, and Connor Murphy. And then Emma Kit and-"

Jared turned around to look at Connor, giving him a look of, "holy shit."Connor returned the exact same look. Jared took out his phone so he could text his new partner.

10:06 am

Kleinman: howdy pardner

Jared heard Connor laugh behind him. Jared smiled, glad that his stupid jokes were funny to at least some people. Like Connor Murphy. Maybe it was just Connor that made Jared smile. Shit. his face felt hot.

10:09 am

Hot Topic: Did ya herd the cows this morning

10:09 am

Kleinman: darn right i did.

Kleinman: bessie was a fighter tho

Kleinman: had to put er back in her place

10:10 am

Hot Topic: mhm, Bessie's always causing some sort of trouble.

Hot Topic: thats what ya gotta love about her though.

10:10 am

Kleinman: amen

Jared and Connor contain

ued to text each other like they were cowboys. Which is some of the funniest shit ever. Eventually the bell went off, signaling that the period was over. Everybody got out of their seats and walked out the door.

Jared looked for Connor, because for some reason a part of him liked to talk to Connor. (fucking Christine Canigula kinnie)

"Hey Connor!" Jared said, approaching the taller teen.

"Hey Kleinman. No 'Hot Topic' nickname this time?" Connor almost sounded disappointed.

"Nah. thought I should actually refer to you properly for once. Since we're partners now."

"Eh, fair point. I still can't believe Bessie pissed on lil'timmy though."

Jared snorted, "dude I know right. Lil'timmy reeked of cow piss for like, a week."

Connor laughed, "welp, see you around,, pardner."

"See you around." Jared responded, smiling like a dumb lovestruck idiot.
