Chapter Text
Clementine never really strayed from her routine, it was always the same old boring pattern of getting up, eating, showering, putting on her old matted hoodie, brushing her teeth, and going to school.
It was a perfect routine(well for her), but it was days like this, days where she left later than usual, or got stuck in the pouring rain. It was days like this that ruined the remainder of her week.
Now she knew she shouldn’t let little things like that bother her, of course she knew that, it’s not like her therapist ever stopped telling her to take a break and look at the brighter things in life.
But it seemed almost impossible, how could she do that when life never stops throwing curveballs at her.
She entered the school exactly as the bell rang, and slowly headed to class plugging her earbuds in her phone and then putting her phone in her now wet hoodie.
Walking in the rain is definitely not as fun as the movies made her think.
As she does this, she tries to look for her best-friend Tubbo (whom she calls tuberculosis to piss him off), through the swarm of people walking towards their classroom.
She reaches the science class when she realizes that Tubbo skipped today, a soft groan leaves her lips and her sour mood dampens even more, until she realizes that the third member of her friend group is here. Which makes her feel slightly better (not that Clementine would ever admit it, there’s no way she’d give that tall bitch such great satisfaction)
“Hey, Ranboob” She yelled, forgetting that she was only a footstep away from being in the classroom.
The previously buzzing class became so quiet you could hear a pin-drop. Everyone was staring at her, (not that Clementine wasn’t used to the attention, of course she was, she’s the coolest person in the world)
“Clementine, please come inside and sit down, I have a class to teach, '' Mr. Wastaken said. Luckily for her, Mr. Wastaken was a pretty chill teacher and she was one of his best students, but a slight blush adorned her cheeks. She came in and sat down near Ranboo feeling embarrassed.
If only big man Philza minecraft was here, only he could save her from this embarrassment.
“Pst psst Ranboo”
“Hmm”
“Do you have a pencil?” She asked softly whispering
“How do you come to school without a pencil Clem?” He said while reaching towards his book bag to dig out a pencil from the crevices.
“Shut up boob-boy” she whispered, rolling her eyes with a slight smile gracing her lips. Huh, maybe today wouldn’t be so bad after all.
Science class ended as quickly as it started, and because Mr. Wastaken didn’t give them any work to do. Clementine just walked to study hall(well if the tree they sit under counted as study hall) with Ranboo and put her and Wilbur's shared spotify playlist on shuffle. As if by coincidence, her favorite song Goodbye, My Danish sweetheart starts blaring through her earbuds.
Humming to the familiar lyrics, she gets so entranced in the song she forgets about a certain tall boy sitting next to her.
Ranboo sits there just wondering what got Clem so spaced out, until he finally decides to talk to her.
“--Clementine Kraker Innit-Craft” He says
“Huh, Ranboob I told you my full name in confidence that you would never use it against me” She groans out
“Well to be fair, I’ve been calling you for like five minutes, this was my last resort you know” Ranboo says. (Well that’s obviously an exaggeration, but Clementine didn’t have to know that)
“Oh sorry big-man I didn’t realize, Mitski just came up on my playlist I gotta give our queen my full attention”
“Of course, Of course”
Finally something her and this tall bitch could agree on.
“You know if you like Mitski, I feel like you’d like Lemon Demon” Ranboo says to her
Now if you asked Ranboo to name three things that these two artists have in common he wouldn’t be able to name a single thing, but you gotta do what you gotta do to increase your favorite artists' following base right. (Guys go listen to Tally Hall pls.)
“ Thanks for the music rec big man I'll check ‘em out right now” she says as she searches up Lemon Demon on her spotify (Premium thingz)
Now Clementine being Clementine clicks on the first one she sees that has the explicit mark on it to annoy Ranboob. It just so happened to be a song named Two Trucks.
By only hearing the first few seconds of it, a horrified look submerged Ranboo’s features, and he lunged to grab her phone but Clementine had that thing in a death grip.
The lyrics of the song completely fill the room, and Clementine just looks at Ranboo with a look that says I’m very disappointed.
With a sigh, she just reached towards her phone and turned off the music still giving Ranboo that same disapproving look.
“Ranboo, you said that I’d like this, but the immense feeling I have for this song is not like. You even compared it to Mitski Ranboo” She breathed out sounding almost as if she were about to cry
Ranboo opted on whether to run away or just stay here and try to defend himself in this already lost battle.
He chose the latter, which was an obviously dumb mistake because Clementine started chasing him before he could even talk.
“Wait Clem, please spare me, I admit it, they have nothing in common. I just wanted to bond with someone more possibly a friend who listened to Lemon Demon.” He yells a little out of breath while running around the yard.
Clementine says nothing and still runs after him, catching up to the taller man, she tackles him, and punches him in the arm playfully.
“You owe me for this Ranboob”
Softly smiling as she remembers what happened at school, Clementine guesses today wasn’t as bad as she expected. She steps in her house hoping that this ok-ish day wouldn’t be ruined the moment she sees her in her house.
But I guess fate had other plans.
