lifeboat

5.

on friday, there were two notes stuck in the side of mikey's locker. they both flew out as he swung the door open, and he hastily rushed to collect them before someone else did.

someone was walking down the hall that exact moment and evidently saw mikey's problem, so they bent down and picked up the paper that had flown further away.

"here." whoever it was handed mikey the note; he took it and looked (down) at this stranger to thank them.

it was the emo kid who was waiting for brendon the previous day. pete wentz. mikey was in his english class, and didn't they used to be friends or something in middle school? he inwardly face-palmed for not recognizing this kid yesterday.

"thanks," mikey said, nodding and gently taking the papers from pete.

"no worries, mikeyway." pete winked, grinning a bit too wide for an emo kid, and continued down the hallway.

the notes read;

i said this before but ur cute mikeyway xoxo
