Chapter Text
Maybe it was a bad idea on Reggie’s half, but he honestly could not be blamed for the events that followed said bad idea. The people at his new school all had the personalities of a brick wall and Reggie had been losing his mind - quite literally, he’d resorted to talking to his guitar at this point. So he’d created the group chat to find some new friends. Little did he know he wouldn’t just find new friends, but a family, too.
