Chapter Text
*Tyler*
“Name?”
“Joseph, Tyler.” The young girl flipped through her stack of papers before finding the one with my class schedule on it and handing it to me.
“Here you go! Have a great school year!” She cheerfully replied. I waved slightly before getting my locker and textbooks, finding my friends in the library after.
“Hey Ty!” Jenna greeted while Dallon waved.
“Hey. So what classes did you guys get?”
“The usual stuff- except Dallon got all of the advanced classes, again.” Jenna rolled her eyes playfully while Dallon smiled.
“I can’t help it if I’m just that much smarter. Besides, you forgot to mention how you got fashion, like you’ve been requesting for a long time.” Jenna nodded eagerly, her eyes lit up.
“Yeah! Now I can finish all the classes needed for beauty school.” I smiled.
“That’s great Jenna! I’m really happy for you.” Her gaze went to a loud group of guys at the table behind us. We collectively groaned slightly as they continued joking.
“Greasers.” Jenna rolled her eyes before collecting her things.
“I’m going to find Patrick, he said my locker was nearby his.” Dallon followed her lead, leaving me by myself at the table. I took advantage of the alone time (technically I was by myself at the table, just not the room) to write. I heard snickering from the table as the group got up.
“Are you seriously doing homework already? Nerd.” Their leader, Pete Wentz rolled his eyes before smacking my books off the table and walking off, him and his group laughing. All except one- he must be new, I thought. He definitely fit their profile- leather jacket, and intimidating appearance, complete with nose ring and dyed red mohawk. His light brown eyes glanced over the situation with sympathy before turning and walking away, chuckling slightly as he followed. I picked up my books and walked out, being tripped by mohawk guy. The entire group laughed while I started picking my things up, Mohawk guy placing a paper in one of my books. I sighed and walked over to my locker, Patrick standing there.
“Hey Tyler!” He replied with his usual cheeriness.
“Hey.” I smiled slightly, shoving my things into the locker before slamming it shut.
“You okay, Ty?” I shrugged.
“Yeah, it’s just them again. They have a new guy too.” He nodded.
“Josh Dun- their new member. He’s from the southern side of town, comes from a really rich family.” I groaned slightly.
“I live on that side of town! They’re gonna be there every night, aren’t they?” He shrugged, smiling reassuringly after.
“Maybe, maybe not. Besides, it’s not like he’s going to be as bad as them.”
“How do you know that? He already tripped me today.” I rolled my eyes.
“Oh. You’re not hurt, are you?” I smiled slightly, relieved at the slight subject change.
“I’ll be fine. I should probably get going, my parents wanted me to go to the store before coming home.” He nodded before hugging me.
“See you later then, Tyler!” I waved while walking off.
