omg hiiii

here is something i wrote at midnight with no context

She expected to be filled with nerves as she went to school, but instead she was just excited. She saw Shel by the pillars and practically launched herself onto the poor girl. Shel almost fell but hugged her back, laughing.

"I left for a day," Shel said, still laughing as Piper pulled back.

Piper shrugged. "I missed you."

Shel messed with her dark green tube top and rolled her eyes. "I missed you too."

"How did it go?"

"I get the results in a week or two. So I don't know." She sighed. "This part is always the worst. Last year sucked. Something happened at the hospital and we had to wait almost a month. My parents were already saving up, just in case, but then they stopped buying anything but essentials. We all thought the delay was because I had it again, and the hospital wasn't communicating with us. We could probably sue them for that, now that I think about it." Shel shrugged. "Eh, whatever. Can't afford a fuckin' lawyer."

Piper slowly nodded. "That's... wow."

Shel let out a small laugh. "Yeah. That was a very shitty experience." Her smile slowly faded as she put her hands on the back of her neck, staring at nothing. She cleared her throat and dropped her hands. "What do you think Callum's gonna do today?"

Piper slumped onto the pillar and sat on the floor. "Probably...What month is it?"

"September."

"No, like, awareness."

"It's suicide prevention and Hispanicâ€"oh no." Shel buried her face in her hands as Piper wheezed. "I'm so fucked. I'm the only Puerto Rican. He's not gonna acknowledge that I'm Taíno, it's just gonna be about fucking Three Kings Day or the quinceañera that I didn't have. Stop laughing, he's going to kill me. I already have fucking February, I forgot Hispanic Hertiage month existed," she groaned, flipping off Piper's laughter.

"You're so fucked," Piper wheezed.

"I'm gonna kill myself."

"Oh, now he can use you for suicide prevention too!"

Shel laughed and sat down next to Piper. "He's such an ass," she said.

They fell into a comfortable silence and Piper had to resist the urge to stare. Gods, she just wanted to look at her face and read whatever expression she held and try for the millionth time to count all of her freckles and beauty marks, finding that inevitable trail up to her deep brown eyes. Instead of doing that and being embarrassing, she said, "Dalton tried to sell weed yesterday." Shel let out a familiar snort laugh, which she often did with random and/or shocking topic. "Yeah, and in the middle of class too."

"Ain't no way."

Piper giggled. "I swear, he literally said he smoked half of it in his brother's car—I know," she said through Shel's cackling. "And he asked for 20 bucks."

"He's such an idiot," Shel giggled. "Why?" she asked as the bell rang.

She helped Piper up and made their way to SGA, where they managed to go so slowly on the five foot walk to the classroom that Callum didn't notice them in the sea of students entering the room. They took their usual seats in the back of the room, where they realized that Callum was not even here. Shel heaved a massive sigh of relief before throwing her math notebook on the table they shared as Dalton took a seat across Piper. He dropped a stack of papers in the center. "He wants us to hang up posters for Hispanic Heritage. There's a note in there for you." Shel did not read the note.

"We hung up the September posters on Monday," Shel yawned, grabbing an energy drink from her bag. "I ain't doing shit."

"There's more posters," Dalton said.

Piper couldn't help but laugh at Shel's expression of pure anguish. "Dalton, I love you so much," she said, still with a grimace, staring at the stack.

"Bitch—" Dalton started.

"I love you so so so much," Shel continued. "You know how many times I've lied for you, you lazy ass leech?"

"You are not very convincing." Dalton had a wide grin on his face.

"Dalton." Shel gave a sickly sweet smile. "How many hours do you have?" Her Houston accent sprung out with her innocent wide eyed gaze.
"I don't fucking know. Like, 70?"

Shel gave an indulgent nod and leaned in a bit closer. "And how did that happen?" She looked at him, brows quirked upwards, awaiting an answer.

Dalton gave a small chuckle and grabbed the stack. "Let me go hang these up for you."

Shel's normal bright smile returned. "Thank you baby."

Piper could only laugh as she watched Shel settle back into her calculus, like nothing happened. "What was that?"

Shel looked up at her. "What?"

"What you just did."

"I call that calling in my favors. I don't do it much. Oh, but if you see me with David, I'm so much worse. That's just me being mean to the fucking cunt."
