Chapter Text
The one thing Simon didn't expect to happen that morning was to meet a hot blonde. But life is full of surprises.
Like any other morning, he walked into his AP World History class and greeted the teacher. He plants his blue bookbag with gold patch-work stars down not long before he grabs the papers needed at the front. He sits back down a few seconds before the bell rings and the teacher walks to the front, about to start the lesson.
Maybe 2 minutes and 22 seconds into class, the door opens. Simon was drinking some water to stay focused when a tanned skinned boy with messy blonde hair walks in. He immediately chokes on the water, and tries to silently cough. When he calmed himself, he took a second look at the drop dead gorgeous mysterious guy.
His eyes looked like he was dead, and desperately needed sleep. His hair was gold with messy locks and bangs. He had a black halter top, with a grey hoodie with a skull on the back that was slipping off his shoulders, and he had black cargo pants with chains- tons of chains. He had a plain black backpack with a few keychains from probably indie shows.
Simon doesn't really like to stare at people, but at that moment, he really couldn't stop himself. It looked as if he had never seen another teenage boy before. Why were Simon's cheeks feeling hot??? His heart felt like it stopped when his deadpan eyes glanced over to him.
Simon tried to act casual and gave a quiet wave to him. He obviously doesn't know what he is doing and feels even more embarrassed the more he does anything.
A few minutes more of the boy talking with the teacher- by the way, even his voice was amazing to Simon. It sounded low and husky which made his heart flutter- the boy was told to sit anywhere with a blank desk. And the mystery guy walks over to the desk right next to Simon's. Which made Simon's heart jump out of his body.
Simon calms down and clears his throat. “Hello, are you new?” He smiles nervously.
The boy glances at him and looks away. “Yeah I am..” he replies nonchalantly.
Why is this so awkward??? I am always so good at making new friends… Simon thought to himself. “What's your name hot- I mean What's your name new kid??” He could feel the heat rise to his cheeks in embarrassment..
“Tristan. What about you?” He smirked.
Simon stutters his own name to Tristan and they get back to the lesson. Why was he embarrassing himself so much…???
A few seconds before the bell rang, Tristan tapped on Simon's shoulder. “Hey since I am new and don't have any notes, can I have your numbe-” The bell rings and the teachers calls over Tristan. Simon's heart sinks. Man he thought he was about to get the guy's number.. He frowns and walks out of the class.

“What if I actually went over to Goldie and started a fight for fun.” Bruce suggested.
Simon unpacked his lunchbox and grimaced at Bruce. “I don't think that's a good idea…do you want to get in detention for the third time this week??”
Florence sat down and furrowed her brows. “For once I agree with Simon, you shouldn't do it.”
Bruce scoffs at the two. “I won't get in trouble if Simon helps me.”
Simon chokes on his water yet again. This is now probably gonna be a daily thing to accidently do for him. “Wh- How would I help you???”
Bruce smirks as he steals some of Florence's apple slices. “Do what you do best Simon, lie up a storm.”
He widens his eyes and scowls at him. “I am not like that anymore. I'm not doing it.”
“What if I pay you?”
.
.
“Pay me what exactly??”
“Money.”
Simon sighs reluctantly. “Fine. What do you want me to even lie about??”
Bruce's smirk widens. “Well you couldn't spread a rumor about how she is very self centered and greedy half of the time. Some people already believe it.”
“I can't believe I'm doing this…”
For the next day, Simon proceeded to EASILY spread some rumors in only a span of maybe 2 hours. Goldie tried to not let it get to her, but even some of her friends were starting to doubt it. By the next day or so afterwards, she was ready to start a fight.
Simon just sat down at his lunch table and was going to put his headphones in when Goldie slammed his tray hard. Simon jumps out of his skin and glances at Goldie. “May I help you..?”
“Don't give me that! I know you are spreading those rumors about me..!”
Well shit.
Simon stutters. “W-Well I don't-”
Bruce stepped in and smirks at Goldie. “Chill blondie, I told him to go spread rumors so you and I could fight.”
Gods Bruce can be so dumb at times..
It didn't take long for them to start punching each other and pulling their hair. A crowd came and went once an officer and a teacher came over.
He spreaded rumors for Bruce to do a stupid fucking fight. Well at least he was a loyal friend..??
It didn't take long until Simon was called in the office for spreading rumors. For some reason instead of just a call home, he got put in detention. Probably because he used to have a streak for causing chaos for fun when he was younger….
So now he has to go to detention after school. Yay.
