(F/n)'s P.O.V
----------------

Holy shit, okay. This is bad.

Connor wants to commit suicide!? I mean he may not be the nicest guy ever but I don't want him to die! Also since when does Evan hang out with people like him?? Wait was that rude? Ughhh...what the fuck do I do?

...okay this may not be the smartest thing to do but I'm desperate and have no idea what to do. I rip a sheet of paper out of my notebook and write a note. Once the bell rings I pack up my stuff and nudge Connor to wake him up.

He squirms a bit and I slide the note over to him. With a groan, he looks at the note and then back at me. ''Read it if ya feel like it, see ya Murphy!'' I walk out of the classroom and hope that my plan works out while I find where my next class is at.

-------------------
Connor's P.O.V
-------------------

Okay what?

(F/n) walks out of the classroom and leaves me just plain confused.

Why is she acting like we're friends now?

I grab the folded note and open it up.

----------------
Hey so I noticed that you might have some problems in life that you have trouble dealing with so I just wanted to say that you can talk to me.

I know what it's like to feel like nobody understands what you're going through or even cares enough to listen. Maybe you'll feel better by telling someone. I want to be that person that can help you out so if you wanna, text me and if not, then we'll pretend this never happened. Also I can send you the notes that were in today's class. Here's my number.

(XXX)-XXX-XXXX
------------------

Well damn

Someone's being nice to me? That's new.

This is really weird. She doesn't even know me, why is she offering me help? Pfft it's not like I need it anyway.

...

Ok that's a big fucking lie, I have to admit that much.

Alright what the fuck do I even do with this shit? Should I actually text her? Ehh whatever, I'll figure it out after school.

I put the note inside of my pocket and pack up my things before leaving the classroom as well. I go to find my math class and as I walk through the hallway the same voices greet me as always.

''Well he just looks dead inside.''

''Isn't he that kid who smokes pot and has anger issues?''

''Oh hey there's Zoe Murphy's crazy brother.''

''I dunno wether to feel sorry for him or to pity him.''

''Careful guys or Mr. Printer might lash out on ya!''

''Do you think he's high right now?''

I walk into my class, not before flipping off the whole hallway, and sit down in my seat.

Another day in school, the place that's supposed to get you ready for a job in the real world! Seriously why do parents think we don't wanna go to school? I mean sure, learning isn't the greatest thing ever, and so is waking up early, but I'm pretty sure most people hate the assholes that surround us and the people that can't mind their own godamn business in this place.

As I think about this stuff, the classroom gets more and more filled up with people and before I realize it the bell rings. Great, time to half-sleep through another boring ass lesson. As I'm almost fully asleep on the desk I hear the door open and someone runs in. ''I'm really sorry for being late! I had to do something with the band kids!''

Oh hell no

Not her

''It's no problem Zoe, just take a seat next to Connor and try not to be late again.'' The teacher motions towards my seat and I can just sense the unenthusiasm from her in waves as she sits down next to me. We sit in silence for a while before Zoe speaks up. ''I'm still pissed at you for finishing the milk this morning.'' I have a lovely sister, don't I? ''Are you just going to ignore everything and everyone around you?...are you hi-'' ''No, I'm not fucking high Zoe. You can't blame my whole attitude on drugs. I though you were smart enough to know that but I guess I was wrong. Also, who cares about the fucking milk? You don't need it to breathe.'' Before she can respond to me the teacher cuts in on our perfectly normal conversation. ''Do we have a problem back there? Connor are you disrupting the class?'' Oh hell no. ''No I am not and fuck you for thinking I'm the one causing the problem just because I have an attitude and wear all black.'' The teacher looked flabbergasted by what I said which quickly turned into anger. Here it comes. ''How about you take a trip to the principal's office!?'' I stand up and pack my bag before leaving without even glancing back.

Yeah, as of I'm actually gonna go there.

Instead of going to get an earful from the principal I decided to go behind the school to smoke. I know I shouldn't but it's too hard to deal with all this stupid shit. As I walk over to my spot I see kid there in a red hoodie, that has patches all over it, with a joint in his hand. I just stand there until the guy notices me and speaks up.''Oh hey. Didn't know that other people come back here. Anyway I'm Michael, how are ya?''

Well this is the second person to treat me like an actual human being today. Where have these people been hiding that I haven't seen them before??

I walk up next to him, light my cigarette and take a puff before I lean back on the wall and respond. ''Well I was supposed to go to the principal's office but I thought, fuck that shit. So now I'm here and you have to deal with my presence.'' I take another puff and we just make small talk. This is actually not the worst moment ever. ''By the way, what's your name?'' Wait he doesn't know who I am? Huh, weird. ''Connor Murphy. I'm surprised that you haven't heard about the biggest freak of this school.'' Michael's eyes widened and he laughed a bit before responding. ''Buddy I get it, my friend Jeremy and I got our backpacks tagged with 'boyf' and 'riends'. People can be such assholes sometimes.''

Wait what?

I snort a bit before I actually speak up. ''Wait, are you serious?'' Woah I'm actually enjoying this guy's company. This is really new and weird. ''Wish I wasn't but I am, here check it!'' Michael took off his backpack and handed it to me. Well he wasn't lying, it says 'reinds' right there. ''The person that did this is a dumbass. They spelled riends wrong.'' I gave him back the vandalized backpack and he just raises an eyebrow at me. ''Wait seriously!?'' He frantically checks the writing and bursts out laughing at the mistake. ''Wow good job Rich! Wait till Jeremy hears this, he'll get a kick out of it!'' ''This Jeremy guy, sounds like you two are close.'' Michael's eyes go wide and I swear I saw his face turn a shade of pink, though it's pretty hard to tell since his skin is a darker shade. ''Heh, I guess you could say that. We've been friends for twelve years after all.'' Michael has a big smile on his face as he says this.

Wow okay, that's a really long time. To be honest though I'm kinda jelous...I don't really have a friend like that and the only people that have been nice to me in a long time were Michael over here and (F/n).

Wait, (F/n)... I still have to think wether I'll actually take her up on her offer...hmm...

''You look deep in thought, what's up?'' Michael snaps me out of my thoughts and I blink a couple of times before sighing and putting out my cigarette. ''Okay I usually don't ask for advise, especially from people I just met, but I might as well ask I guess...' I take a deep breath and Michael encourages me to continue. ''So I've been having some problems lately, like a lot of them, and this girl that sits next to me at english gave me her phone number and offered to hear me out if I wanted her to. What do I do?'' Michael thinks for a second before giving ne an answer. ''I say accept the offer dude. I mean you sound like you could use the help and hey, maybe this nice chick is a better listener than some guy that you met at the back of the school when you went out to have a smoke. But hey, what do I know?'' Michael shrugs and also puts out whatever he was smoking. We decide to exchange numbers so that we can stay in contact and maybe skip classes again sometime. Once we put our phones back Michael speaks up. ''Well this period will end in like two minutes so I'm heading back inside, see ya buddy.'' He walks by me and leaves me alone.

Well dang, I guess I'm actually making friends this year.

I turn around and also start heading back inside the prison. Time for chemistry with Alana I guess.

[Author's note]

Alright here's the second chapter guys! I decided to make a bit of a crossover because I had the idea of Connor and Michael meeting up and smoking while skipping class. I personally like it!

Also I have an important question: do you guys want Kleinsen and Boyf Friends to be cannon in this book? I mean I already put something with Boyf Riends but shhhh!

One last thing, I want to give a big shout out to DelilahDiamond13 for being so nice to me on the last chapter which encouraged me to get off my ass and update this book! You're awesome! 👉😎👉

Anyway that's it for now. Make sure to gimme suggestions on what you'd like to see in this book because that would actually help me out a bit! Alright see ya later peeps!

Kaja is finished here ^^
