"Incorrect!" Sub exclaims after asking me how many days it had been since we met, I answered, "I dont know, like seven months or something."
"234 days!" He corrects.
"Bruh... why do you keep track of this stuff?"
"I dont know!"
"Calm down-"
"NO!"
"How many drugs did you take?"
"Litterally all of them!"
"How are you Alive!?" We yell, referencing an inside joke.
"We're stupid."
"We are." At that moment, Amie basicly kicked the door open, barging into the room.
"I'm livid!" She excmaims.
"Wha- why?" Sub questions, almost as confused as me.
"You're friends with Denis Kopotun and you didnt tell me?!"
"Wait- What are you talking about?"
"You were talking to him and some other guy at the cafe!"
"Howd you figure that out?"
"Elijah told me!"
"Oh- Of course he did." I roll my eyes, annoyed at Elijah.
"You're friends with Denis Kopotun?" Sub asks.
"Not really friends. I'm just friends with one if his friends."
"Well you were talking to the most popular guy on campus!" Amie yells loudly.
"Yes, and..?"
"That's insane!"
"It really isnt-"
"Do you like him?"
"What? No!" I exclaim in just... no.
"Why not?"
"Not my type." I wasnt gonna mention Alex because if I did, Denis would be pissed.
"Whatever, is he nice?"
"Well yeah. He's not the popular douche. That's Elijah."
"Why dodnt you tell me!?"
"I met him like 2 days ago and I didnt think it was this big of a deal?"
"I'm so confused." Sub pipes up.
"Same here, my bi friend." I agree.

I stood under the bus stop roof that offered little protection against the raging wind and rain. I got tired for waiting for the bus that went around the massive campus and turned on my phone to call Sub because he had a car and well y'know, I didnt. But I only found my phone was dead. I swore under my breath and shoved my phone back in my pocket. My arms were wrapped around my body as my only protection against the rain cuz I didnt have a coat. I saw someone in a hoodie run to the bus stop out of the corner of my eye. I turned to face them only to see Elijah. I yanked my phone out if my pocket, trying desperately to turn it on to call or text Sub even though I knew it was dead, I needed to get away from Elijah.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to call Sub but ny phone is dead!" I exclaim through gritted teeth, angrily pressing the power button.
"Here, use mine." Elijah holds out his already unlocked phone. I give him a puzzled look before taking the phone. His backround was a picture of him and two little kids, one a blonde girl and the other a blonde boy. Neither older than five years old.
"I like your backround." I comment offhandedly as I entered the phone app.
"The kids are my niece and nephew." Elijah replies.
"What are their names?"
"Katelyn and Lucas." Elijah answers casually.
"I didnt know you had an older sibling."
"Yeah. His names Ron."
Sub didnt pick up.
"Huh. I dont have any siblings."
I went to text him.
"Really?"
"Yep. I'm an only child."
E- Hey, it's raining, could you come pick me Up? I'm at building A3 -YN
"I thought I heard Amie mention something about you having a sister one time."
"Must've heard her wrong." I shrug. Elijah's phone buzzed in my hand.
S- Be there in a minute
"Here." He hand Elijah's phone back to him. "Thanks."
"No problem." Elijah pauses for a moment before talking again, "I was thinking... do we really have to y'know... hate each other?"
"Well yeah. It's part of my branding." I cross my arms.
"We arent nine, YN."
"Says who?"
"This is what I say, truce."
"Dont know if I can do that, Mr. Worst." I shrug.
"Truce?" Elijah repeats, raising his eyebrows.
"Fine... I'll try not to murder you everytime you speak."
"I'm taking that as a truce."
***

"I'm gonna kill him."
"Who?" Amie asks, laying on our couch.
"Elijah."
"Why?"
"He called truce on our hate war but I dont wANT A TRUCE!"
"Dude, calm down." I just make a nice that's mixed between a childish whine and a stubborn groan in response. "This is good. Soon you'll be the best of friends."
"No." I shake my head.
"I've got class. See ya later." Amie waves as she grabs her backpack and grabs her keys.
"Bye." I then got a message from Jack.
