Chapter 3: First Day
{Lucifer's pov}
I wake up the next morning feeling really happy. My parents are already gone, shocker. I get up brush my teeth, comb my hair, ya di ya di ya da. I decide to wear a P!ATD t-shirt, ripped jeans, and my red converse. I put in my ear piercings, I have an industrial on my right ear and a tragus and antitragus on my left ear. Yeah, I went through a goth phase in seventh grade. I still like my emo music but not the black eyeliner. I wish I could permanently delete those pictures from existence.
I grab my book bag and phone from my side table. I walk out the door at around 6:20 and head downstairs to meet Michael. When I get down there he is already waiting for me.
"Hey Mikey!" I say enthusiastically. He smirks.
"Hey Luci" he replies.
"Oh no you did not" I say.
"Oh yes I did" he replies. I shake my head but smile a little.
"Ready to go?" I ask. He nods and we walk out the door.
"You weren't wearing those yesterday" he says gesturing to my ear.
"Well I don't wear them everyday" I say.
"So do you know what classes you have?" He asks.
"Yeah," I say and take out my schedule from my pocket, "I've got them right here."
He looks them over and smiles.
"We have six out of eight classes together" he says.
"That's perfect" I say. He just nods in reply. I take a minute to see what he's wearing. He has on jeans and another long sleeve shirt. He is also wearing some dirty old vans.
"Why are you wearing a long sleeve shirt, it's like 70 degrees outside?" I ask. He just looks down at his hands.
"I dunno" he replies. Probably shouldn't have said anything. Duh dude, he doesn't have a lot of money, probably can't buy any other clothes.
"I could let you borrow one of my t-shirts if you like" I say. He laughs a bit.
"No, I own t-shirts, I'm just very self-conscious about my lanky arms" he says with a laugh. I laugh a bit too.
Before I know it we've already arrived at school. I decide to text Gabe and ask where he is. Then someone comes up behind me and taps me on the shoulder.
"Hey Gabe" I say without even turning around, I know my cousin.
"Hiya Lucifer, who's this guy?" He asks. He has a sucker in his mouth as usual.
"This is Michael, he lives in my apartment building" I say.
"Michael, this is my cousin Gabe" I add, introducing them.
"Hiya there" Gabe says. Michael just shyly waves.
"Well I've got math for first period, what about you?" Gabe askes.
"I've got chemistry with Michael" I say. Gabe wiggles his eyebrows. Why is he like this?
"See ya at lunch" he says strolling away.
"He seems nice" Michael says.
"He is, but he's also a pain in the ass" I reply. Michael laughs.
Michael takes me to the main office where they tell me where my locker is. It's right across the hall from Michael's. He takes me to the classroom and we sit at his table. I sit to his right and notice a few others at the table. There is a red-headed girl sitting to his left and a black haired Asian kid sitting across the table.
"Um, guys this is Lucifer. He's new here" Michael says.
"He speaks!" The red-headed girl gasps. The Asian kid looks up in surprise.
"Yeah, I've spoken to you three times this year" Michael says.
"And it's already November, you see the problem here?" She says sarcastically. Michael looks at me with a 'what do I say?' expression.
"Well like he said I'm Lucifer. He's Michael in case you didn't know. And you are?" I ask her.
"Charlie Bradbury" she says and extends her hand and I shake it.
"What about you?" I ask the Asian kid.
"I'm Kevin, Kevin Tran" he says not looking up from his notebook.
"Cool, so we're all going to be best friends now if that's alright with you guys" I say.
"Sounds good" Charlie says.
"Yeah" Kevin adds.
"Perfect" I say and look at Michael who is completely in awe of what I just did.
"What?" I ask.
"You just asked them what their names are and said that we're all best friends now and they agreed" he says.
"Yeah, don't worry I'll teach you all my tricks" I say and wink. He blushes a bit I think but I can't really tell because he turns away.
We go through the rest of the day just talking. The periods I don't have with him seem to go on forever. Luckily, Charlie is in those classes with me so it's not completely unbearable. Finally, it's lunch. I find Gabe standing outside the cafeteria.
"Want to come sit with my friends?" He asks.
"No thanks, I've got my own friends" I say, gesturing to Charlie standing beside me.
"Well look at you, making friends on your first day" he says and strolls away with a wave.
"Who is that?" She asks.
"My cousin Gabe, we've been best friends ever since we were little" I tell her. She nods.
"I see Kevin and Michael" she says and points to where they are sitting alone at a table. Neither of them are saying anything.
"Let's go before they forget how to socialize completely" I say earning a laugh from her.
"What's up guys?" I say sitting next to Michael. Kevin is sitting across from him and Charlie sits across from me.
"Nothing really" Michael replies. I nod my head.
Charlie is absentmindedly looking on her phone and eating French fries. Kevin is reading a book and sipping a soda. Michael and I make small talk eating chips but otherwise, this isn't a very social group.
"You guys wanna go to the movies later?" Charlie finally asks.
"Sure" Kevin says not looking up from his book.
"I'm down, Michael?" I ask turning towards him.
"I don't think so" he says not meeting my eyes.
"Why not?" I ask. He looks up at me with a look that says 'don't' so I don't push any further.
"Another time then, I'll still go" I say to Charlie.
"Ok then the three of us, want to see Infinity War?" She asks with a smirk.
"Only if you bring the tissues" Kevin says and we all laugh.
Yeah, we aren't very social but we're alright.
