Chapter Text
School again, Spencer sighed. He hated going to school, he hated having to see those people; those rude annoying, horrible people. Some days he didn’t even understand why school was a thing. Ugh. He sighed again. He hadn’t done any homework in weeks. He just wasn’t feeling it anymore. To be honest he’d stopped feeling it a long time ago but still kept hope. Hope that someone would reach out to him, someone would be unlike the others and just talk to him. He didn’t like dealing with this and he didn’t know how, usually resulting in him accidentally sounding too confident and too mean when he spoke. He didn’t mean it, it just happened that way.
“Spencer,” he heard his mother call from down stairs.
He sighed again and glanced at his computer- that computer he loved so much, his best friend- and left reluctantly. He faked a smile so his mother wouldn’t worry and walked out the door to wait for the bus.
Spencer always sat in the back of the bus, he’d been sitting there for as long as he can remember. No one ever sat next to him, which he was kind of thankful for in a weird way, but today something was different. Everyone was crowded at the back of the bus for an unknown reason. Though Spencer was curious as to why everyone was gathered at his used-to be seat, he went unnoticed and took the first empty seat he saw.
The group in the back kept getting louder and louder. This frustrated him. They were usually loud up here in the front, so they could be the first ones in school. Why? Spencer had no idea, but apparently they liked it here.
Spencer pressed his headphones closer to his head trying to block out the noise. The volume was already up as loud as it could go. Looks like he won’t be watching the new trailer for “Hunted” anytime soon. He only had one choice now, Rock. Though he didn’t listen to it on a daily basis Spencer found Rock music quite exciting. It reminded him of cheesy old high school movies, plus it was loud- which was just what he'd needed. He clicked on some song by Pierce The Veil and waited as they descended to hell.
———————
Much to Spencer's surprise, once the bus stopped no one got off, everyone was still crowded around in the back. At least I’ll beat the crowd huh, Spencer thought as he hopped off the bus.
Steoping into the classroom, Spencer paused glancing around, no one was there. Odd. Kids at Beverly Beverly may have been annoying little brats, but they did seem to value their education.
“Must be that boy” Spencer heard the teacher mutter.
“What do you mean.?” Spencer asked curiously.
“Word is, Billy Joe Cobra transferred in today.” She explained.
And just as she said, it was that Billy guy whi Spencer had never heard of that walked in, everyone else following in behind him.
“Now now now, brodom, I love the attention an all, but we should seriously get to this school stuff,” Billy said taking a seat in the front of the class, everyone arguing over who gets to sit next to him. Girls were fighting, but in the end Lolo was the one winner, behind her sat her 'groupie,' Rajeev. “Sooo Billy, what brings you here,” she asked in what was trying to be seductive tone, everyone else following her steed, blurting out questions.
Spencer then noticed a girl, she walked out of the crowd and took a seat behind him.
“They’re pretty crazy huh,” she asked.
“Yea, you’re telling me,” Spencer answered in a sarcastic tone.
“I’ve never seen you around before, are you new?”
“Nahh, I just tend to stay out of the spot light,” he joked.
“Oh, well I’m Shanilla, nice to meet you,” the girl said with a smile.
“Spencer” he recited, trying to return the smile but failing.
The two sat in silence for a while, watching as their teachers feeble attempts at calming everyone down.
“So you dont like Billy,” Shanilla asked after a while.
“Honestly, I don’t even know who the guy is,” Spencer said hesitantly.
“Seriously?! Billy is like this really popular guy from Metube, he sings songs and plays the guitar and he’s really talented and funny,” She explained.
“Seems like you're really into him yourself, huh,” Spencer noted.
This caused Shanilla to blush. “Yeah, he’s pretty awesome," she frowned slightly, "but as long as Lolo's around there’s no way I'd even get near him.”
Just then Rajeev came over and sat down next to Shanilla.
“Shan, guess what, I finally got Lolo's number” he says excitedly.
“And how did you manage to do that,” She asked doubtfully.
“Oh the way isn’t important, its the fact that I’ve got it,” He responded with a wink.
“Who’s he,” He then asked, referring to Spencer.
“Oh this is Spencer, Spencer this is my brother Rajeev” Shanilla said introducing them.
“Alright everyone take your seats, I'll have Billy come up and talk about his life and answer any questions you have for him,” the teacher started, but was cut off by hundreds of voices.
She yelled.
”We will do this in peace or we wont do it at all,”
and that shut them up.
So for the first 35 minutes of class they spent time talking about Billy, like what his favourite food was and what stores he liked shopping at.
At the end of class Principal Ponzi decided to visit with 'crucial' news.
“Hello class, it seemths as though the Cobra family wanths Billy to have an escort, to help him around the school for the first few weeks, any voluntheers," he asked in his accent.
Principal Ponzi was amazed at how many hands went up, every hand in the class- except Spencers of course. Yea he hadn't even been paying attention, enthralled by his phone throughout the whole thing. Apparently he couldn't care less about where Billy Joe Cobra got his underwear from. Yet that same boy was the boy Ponzi was going to pick.
“Hmmm, how about Mr. Spenthser Wright.?“
he said with a devious smile on his face.
