𝐅𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄, adam reed

rule 17 • in that moment how close they were to each other

"i'm gonna fail this class." i said to myself. "this is so embarrassing. we're the only people walking."

"so?" adam shrugged.

"oh. true." i shrugged.

we continued walking silently.

i tapped my fingers along the edge of my ugly white p.e. uniform.

"this uniform is so ugly." i complained.

"you don't have to wear it. you could break dress code like you do every other day." adam pointed out.

"maybe i should just dye it red."

"you're gonna look like a traffic cone."

"traffic cones are orange."

"you know what i mean. they're really bright. you're gonna attract all attention to you."

"like i always do."

"because you're really annoying."

"i was gonna say because i'm pretty. you just have to spread your negativity."

"i learned it from you."

"you wanna be me so bad."

"definitely not."

i rolled my eyes, rubbing my arms.

"are you shivering?" adam questioned.

"what does it look like?" i asked.

"i was just asking. maybe you shouldn't wear shorts and a p.e shirt you cropped in 60 degree wether, then."

"and look stupid in that school merch? fuck no. i'd rather freeze to death."

"then do it."

"i am!"

"i'm not giving you my sweater."

"i never told you too!"

"good. because i'm not going too."

"can i borrow it though?"

"no. you can freeze. i've told you so many times to come better prepared, and you never do. does your brain shrink each time i talk to you?"

"yeah, it probably does, because all you say is bullshit."

"oh. wow. then why are you even talking to me?"

"because i love talking."

"to me?"

"no, i just never shut the fuck up."

"maybe you should."

"i'm going to punch you in the face right now."

"whatever. just as long as you don't keep me up as long as that one time."

"i was bored!"

"you kept me up until 6 in the morning because your phone died and you drank like 3 coffees and couldn't sleep!"

"yeah, but i made you laugh and you pretended you were coughing."

"because you're not funny."

"i make you laugh all the time."

"because you're embarrassing yourself."

"you love me."

adam rolled his eyes, and sad nothing.

"i'm about to start running away from you." he threatened ex.

"wow. and leave me to walk the fucking mile alone?" i placed a hand on my heart sarcastically.
