jeremy sat in biology, writing down the notes that were on the board. the door opened revealing and obviously late anders, lipstick smeared slightly on his top lip. he rushed to the back and sat next jeremy who chuckled.

"you've got a little something o-" anders started wiping his top lip with the back of his hand. jeremy laughed quietly as he struggled.

"help me?" anders pouted and jeremy laughed bringing his thumb to anders lip. once it was gone the younger boy and was flustered at his actions.

"how are you a sophomore in a senior class?" anders asked, copying jeremys neat notes.

"i'm smart?" jeremy shrugged, anders put his head on the desk and watched jeremy write down the rest of the notes.

"why are you watching me?" jeremy furrowed his eyebrows at the older. anders blushed, hiding his face in his hands.

"youre just pretty." he smirked and jeremy almost choked on air.

"y-you mean no homo right?" jeremy asked and anders frowned.

"course."

jeremy walked into the lunch room and sat over at the table with his two friends.

"gross, i still cant believe my brother is dating your sister." lucy groaned her eyes squinting as she watched milo and emily being all gross and coupley.

"i cant believe that you two are dating." jeremy referred to michael and lucy.

"why? we've liked each other since 6th grade."

it was true, michael and lucy had liked each other since the day they met. they were the definition of love at first sight. it was sickenly cute.

"i hate being single. why cant my life just be like a wattpad book?" jeremy muttered pulling out his phone and going to the wattpad app so he can be sad and lonely.

"because jer bear, those arent real."

✨

jeremy walked into the small cafe, the door bell ringing causing him to smile. he walked up to the bar and ordered his usual. a vanilla milkshake with caramel.

"jeremy?"

jeremy groaned knowing who was now sat next to him.

"hi anders." he mumbled and the lady handed him his shake, anders ordering one for himself. "wheres your clingy ass girlfriend?" jeremy asked sipping his shake.

"dont know, dont really care." anders shrugged.

"why are you still with vivian if you dont like her?" jeremy asked and anders sighed running a hand through his hair.

"the image? i dont know, shes the cheer captain, im the football captain." anders explained and jeremy scoffed.

"you shouldnt be with someone you dont like, its not good for your health." jeremy mumbled, anders chuckled.

"and what makes you the relationship expert?" anders asked, jeremy rolled his eyes at the older.

"doesnt matter anyway, she's cheating on you with a college guy." jeremy says and sips his drink. anders eyes go wide with shock.

"ho-how do you know that?" anders asked, holding back his tears.

"my sister and vivian are practically 'besties' and emily cant help to spill the tea to me." jeremy shrugged pushing his hair from his face.

"i shouldnt be hurt, but i am?"

"its probably justthe thought of being cheated on." jeremy suggested, finishing off his shake.

"yeah, probably."
