06:47 pm
"ugh i hate him" Lance said as he typed something on his phone, lying on the couch with his legs on Pidge's thighs
"hate who?"
"him."
"Lance, you know I'm smart and shit, but I still can't read minds, Not yet" Pidge joked as they played with their bass strings.
"ha ha, very funny smart ass. I'm talking about this guy" He showed a picture on his phone. It was a boy, probably the same age as Lance, with long and black hair. He wore a red jacket and a black shirt while he was on top of a skateboard. Pidge looked at the photo and then back to Lance, with confused eyes, they asked "Keith?"
"Yes, Keith. Fucking, Keith Kogane"
"Dude, I understand that you got easily distracted, but shouldn't we be looking for a vocalist? You know, for our band???"
"UGH! Pidge, my pal, vocalists can wait, but I have the urge to punch this guy right on his face"
"Lance, I'm sure finding a vocalist in the middle of Sunday was your idea! So, can you stop filling my ears with your crush bullshit and go back to work?"
"HE'S NOT MY CRUSH! " Lance practically shouted at Pidge as he got up off the couch, oh man, He was mad!
"Hey, hey, hey, are you all right? I brought the brownies..." The big guy, Hunk, said as he opened the door and went into the garage. The smell of fresh brownies soon entered the room soothing the mood, like for real, Pidge and Lance were almost (REALLY almost) breaking a guitar over each other's heads
"Brownies!!!" The two shouted, getting up and coming to get a slice their own.
"So... what's the reason for the screams? I mean, you were being very loud"
"Nah. It's nothing, just Lance being a pain in the ass. Apparently, he has a new crush," said Pidge, with that malicious smile that only they have.
"Oh ~~~ I see... You already moved on. I bet Allura is sad now" Hunk sneered at Lance immediately
"He's not my crush!" Exclaimed Lance
"... He? Wow, Lance, I didn't know you swing both ways" Lance's face went extremely red with that comment, like a tomato, his face was burning like hell. His friends couldn't help but laugh out loud at Lance's reaction
"What the fuck was that?" Pidge asked between small giggles
"I was nervous, okay? With all this teasing and-" He was interrupted by Hunk "Alright buddy, we understand. Any progress with the vocalist thing?"
"Uh uh. Lance keeps talking about his obsession with Keith"
"I'm not obsessed! I'm angry and maybe a little interested" Lance tried to explain himself while poking his smallest friend's face. "The last time you were 'interested' in something, we ended up forming a band" "I-"
"I didn't finish Lance" "What about the day you said 'It's just a crush', and you ended up putting a poster with Allura's face on the wall. Oh! And remember when you said 'I want a new pet' and now you have 3 dogs?!?!"
"I got it Pidge, I'm not stupid okay?"
"Really? Because I could keep this up all day" They looked at each other, ready to start a war
"Kids!! Come and have your drinks!" Lance's mother called the three friends interrupting Lance and Pidge's fight, thank God, Hunk wouldn't know how to separate the two if they really fought.
"Coming!" Lance shouted to warn his mother

After picking up their drinks, the three friends went back to the garage. "Do you want to play something?" Hunk asked, already sitting next to the drums
"No" Lance said crossing his arms
"Aw Lance, come on buddy! What's the point of forming a band and never playing anything?"
"What's the point of playing music without someone singing? It's not music, Hunk!"
"Well, if you weren't talking about this Keith guy all day, we might already have a vocalist" Pidge joined the conversation "Shh, the adults are talking"
"Suck my balls Lance"
"You don't have any"
"Neither you"
"Excuse me! My balls-" Lance was again interrupted by Hunk in the middle of an argument with Pidge
"Okay! That's enough. Sorry buddy, but I really don't want to hear about your balls. So, why don't you try to justify your crush on Keith?" Lance cleared his throat and leaned against the old tennis table "Again, he's not my crush. He's my rival"
"Lance, I'm pretty sure you don't know him"
"Oh, you can bet I know this idiot. He has that stupid mullet and half gray violet eyes. Oh, and I can't forget the ridiculous 80's bad boy style somehow mixed with a 2010 emo"
"Oh man .. You definitely have a thing for him"
"HUNK! You should be on my side, come on !!"
"It's the truth! Your eyes were sparkling while you were talking about him" Hunk clarified as he wiped his drumsticks
"This is impossible" Lance clarified
"Uh.. why?"
"I'm straight, DUH", Lance said that was the most obvious thing in the world
"What about your teenage crush on Percy Jackson?" Pidge joked
"He's different"
"And why is this?" Once again, that malicious smile. Pidge KNOWS how to push Lance to his limit
"He's not a complete idiot like Keith!" Lance changed the subject,secretly, emphasizing the name 'Keith' which he made kind of sound like a snake
"Besides, he's a lot cuter" He added
"Ohhh, so Keith is cute, isn't he?" Once again, PIDGE
"Okay, I'm tired" Lance took his bike and left the garage
"Lance! You know you can't just run away like that! Love will find you! Gayness will find you!" Pidge shouted as his friend pedaled toward the garage exit
"This is also your house, so.. Are you coming back.. Right?" Hunk shouted too, but all they got in response was Lance's middle finger. The two laughed when they got back inside, maybe they would play some songs while Lance cools his head.

10:23 pm
"So"
"So, what Matt" Pidge started a conversation with their older brother, both lying on the floor playing with their dog
"Any luck with the vocalist thing today?"
"No. Lance spent all day talking about his stupid crush"
"Ah, young love" Matt said in a ridiculous voice as he intertwines his fingers making a kissing face
"All right, ladies lover stay away," said Pidge as they pushed Matt, he laughed and continued the conversation.
"So, he really likes Allura, huh?"
"Oh Matt... You don't even know, he was talking about Keith this time"
"Wait. Keith? Your Keith, Shiro's Keith?"
"Yeah. I was also shocked. He's back in town"
"Oh, this is so cool! Maybe we can go out like old times !!" Matt exclaimed excitedly, poking Pidge in the head
"Yeah, yeah haha It's really good. I missed him"
"Aw Pidge, you're getting soft"
"I am not"
"Yes you are"
"No, I'm not. Shut up. He's my childhood friend, I can miss him"
"Yeah yeah, I'm going to relieve you of this. But you're getting soft, Pidge Holt. Definitely soft."
"Matt"
"Yes?"
"Shut the fuck up"

7:30 am
"I'm so tired" Lance grunted when he entered school. He was definitely not a morning person and, to make it worse, he, Hunk and Pidge stayed up until about nine o'clock at night discussing who could be a good vocalist for their band. In conclusion, they don't have a vocalist and Lance is fucking tired. Thanks Keith, it's all your fault. Lance likes to think that he is a kind and attractive guy, but when it comes to Keith, he becomes a monster. But it's not his fault! This guy is an asshole, a rude asshole. Yesterday afternoon, he was returning home when he saw Allura at the skate park talking with a boy he had never seen before. He came over and greeted the two, Allura replied, but Keith, KEITH! That troglodyte didn't even look Lance in the eye and kept doing ridiculous maneuvers with his skateboard. There is nothing that annoys Lance more than rude people and, of course, pretty girls who date idiots, it also makes Lance's blood boil. Although, when Lance told his friends the reason for his anger and hate for Keith, they mocked him and called him 'a drama queen' and said 'you're just jealous' and 'oh, you're in love with him' but it doesn't matter. Keith is an idiot and he does NOT deserve Allura's friendship.
"I hate to be that guy, but what time did you go to bed?" Hunk, who really cares about his friend, asked as he threw his coffee in the trash
"... 4 a.m"
"Lance! Come on! We talked about this!" The bigger guy said giving the Cuban boy a disappointed look
"I'm sorry !!! But you know me, I was anxious!" "I would even understand that you would be anxious to going back to school after the vacations and holidays, it's really many days, but man, it was literally two days! Saturday and Sunday are not that long" Pidge said their argument in the discussion as they entered the classroom
"Shut up gremlin you wouldn't understand-" Lance stopped arguing with his friends and his face soon melted into a sloppy smile. "Lance! Hi!" It was like the voice of an angel, Allura. As she approached, Lance felt his heart race. "Good morning guys!" She said with a smile on her face. She looked beautiful as always Lance thought and ran to answer the pretty girl "Hey, princess, nice to see you too" He said while pressing his lips in Allura's hands, like a gentleman. His friends were more subtle, just saying "Sup 'lura"
"I have a surprise for you!" She said excitedly, Lance barely paid attention to what she said, he was to busy looking at her silver hair contrasting with that amazing black skin "This is my friend and our new classmate. Lance kind of already knows him- a pause -"Be nice to Keith" Aw.. she said my name.. Wait a second. KEITH
Lance was so lost in his thoughts he didn't even notice Keith standing next to Allura, he barely had time to protest until-
"KEITH!" Pidge shouted jumping in Keith's arms for a hug
huh? HUH? PIDGE KNOWS HIM? HE IS IN HIS SCHOOL? WHAT
"Hey Pidgeon. Missed you too" he said with a delicate smile hugging Pidge back
"ha... That's really fun but. Can I talk to you Pidge?"
"What? No Lance im busy-" Pidge tried to deny it but Lance had already dragged they out the classroom
"WHAT THE FUCK PIDGE" Lance screamed as he shaked pidge
"Put me down asshole"
"I will.. WHEN YOU EXPLAIN ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?!"
"Calm the fuck down ok??? Yeah I know Keith, didn't you find it weird that I have said his name in the second that you showed me the pic on your phone?" 'oh' Lance suddely realizes
"That's not a good enough excuse! Still, why you didn't told me???"
"To be honest, I thought your reaction would be funny"
"YOU LITTLE BRAT"
Pidge began to laugh and Lance continued to be furious, meanwhile, Hunk Allura and Keith were talking and wondering 'what the fuck those two were doing?'
×
The two of them came back inside the classroom, Pidge was still laughing and Lance got a confused look on his face. "So" he started talking "He's your childhood friend?"
"yeah" Pidge answered briefly
"And you two became friends cause your brothers used to hang a lot together?"
"I don't get it why are you saying this again, I already told you everything!"
"Really? That's why you dragged Pidge out of the classroom? Cause we know eachother?" A new voice spoke, it was Keith. He sounded sarcastic but didn't show any kind of expression on his face
"shshhssh I'm talking to Pidge! Not you, mullet head"
"Huh? It's not a mullet"
"Oh please, of course It's a mullet!"
"It's not! My hair grew up like this" Keith said angry, he crossed his arms and approached Lance
"Uh huh. The 80's are calling dude, they want their hairstyle back!" Lance said with a tone grumpy but still kept the smile on her face. He was angry but seeing that his provocations were taking Keith of his seriously emo mood made him happy "That's the worst joke ever. What year are you from? 2016?"
Things were getting salty as the teacher entered the room. He scored his throat as an attempt to draw class's attention."Any problem with the new student Mr Mcclain?" It was Curtis, he was a great teacher and a nice guy but don't make that man angry, things can get really scary when he's mad. "No! Everything is great" Lance tried to sound gentle but kept his eyes in Keith who looked at him back with his cold purple eyes
"Great!" Curtis exclaimed pushing Lance and the rest of the group, who were in front of the door, into the classroom. "You guys should sit down, the class will start in a few minutes"
The five of the walked to the end of class where they generally sit down, Keith followed Allura and sat behind her. Pidge and Hunk sat down in the same places ever next to each other, and Lance had to sit next to Keith since that emo boy had been sitting behind his soulmate (Aka Allura)
×
The class started and Lance got bored as always
"Hey" Lance heard someone whisper "Hey..Lance" He looked up and saw the owner of the whisper, it was Keith
"Your name is Lance right?"
Lance felt his face blush a little bit, which was really weird but that's a problem to future Lance
"Yeah.. That's me" He whispered back
"Great" The boy smiled softly and once again Lance blushed "Could you stop shaking your leg like this? You're distracting me" The words left Keith's mouth with a hard tone and his soft smile soon went out of his face. Wow, this was gonna to be a tough day.
