Loudspeaker
Ballora was walking through the empty hallway to her third hour class.
And then she stopped as she heard two very familiar voices shout from the supply closet.
A loud husky one shouted "Ew, that's fucking gross dude! Why did you lick my hand?"
A much softer voice responded nonchalantly. "I didn't feel it necessary for you to cover my mouth with your hand to keep me quiet."
"Still nasty. Like, you know I haven't washed my hands."
"Eh, I don't really care."
Then there was a lot of shuffling, followed by a loud thud as the door flew open and two girls fell onto the tile floor in a tangle of limbs.
"I miss two hours and weird stuff is already happening."
Lolbit and Baby looked up from their spot on the floor.
"Ballora!" They both yelled at the same time.
The two girls quickly scrambled to get up.
"Where have you been all day dude!?"
"Yeah, why weren't you in first hour?"
"I had a doctor's appointment. Why were you two in a supply closet?'
"We're hiding from Afton's wrath."
"Why?"
"This cheeky cunt over here." Baby pointed towards the platinum blonde next to her. "Made me break into the main office with her so she could call Afton a daft cunt over the loudspeaker."
"Oh my, look at you two troublemakers."
"I know right? We're so naughty."
"That sounds really fucking weird."
"Yes, yes it does. Is there any particular reason you wanted to call Afton ...that over the loudspeaker?"
Lolbit opened her mouth to answer but Baby stopped her. "Please, don't start listing things." Baby looked towards Ballora. "Just know Lolbit has a list of reasons prepared."
The distinct sound of loud, quick footsteps could suddenly be heard around the corner.
"Shit, he's coming back!"
Lolbit quickly shoved Baby and herself back into the supply closet and shut the door.
Afton rounded the corner and spotted Ballora. "Miss Legrand? What are you doing in the hallway?"
"Oh, sorry principal Afton. I arrived at school late."
"Why did it sound like there was someone else in the hallway?"
"Uh, that was probably just... my headphones. My music was kinda loud."
Afton eyed her suspiciously. "Alright. Get to class Miss Legrand."
He then disappeared around another corner. Ballora waited a few moments to make sure he wasn't coming back. "Coast is clear."
Baby and Lolbit stumbled back out of the supply closet. "Oh my bag of dicks, I can't believe he actually fell for that. He really is a daft cunt."
"Yeah, thanks for the save Bal." Baby gave Ballora a quick hug. "Anytime." She smiled.
Baby turned back towards Lolbit. "We should probably get to Mr. Benedict's class."
"Ugggghhh... do we have to?"
"Yes! We already missed half of Mr. Smith's class."
"Finnneee." Lolbit groaned. "See you at lunch dude."
"Yeah, see you later Bal."
"Bye guys."
Lolbit and Baby sprinted off towards their class.
"What a way to start off a Thursday."
As soon as the fourth period bell rang everybody ran off towards the lunch room, and everyone immediately became twenty percent rowdier.
Things were as they should be.
Freddy was arguing with Bon Bon, Ennard was playing with his stuffed chicken, Yenndo was trying to flirt with Foxy who was having none of it, Lolbit was on her phone, and Ballora was doing homework she hadn't finished while sneaking glances at Baby, who was staring off into space and only occasionally contributing to the conversations around her.
And then Freddy slammed his hands on the table eliciting a "Damn it Freddy!" from Bon Bon.
"I JUST REMEMBERED S-S-SOMETHING! DID ANY OF Y-YOU HEAR THAT P-PERSON ON THE LOUDSPEAKER THIS M-MORNING?"
"A better question would be who didn't hear it?" Yenndo commented.
"Who do you guys think it was?" Ennard asked.
Foxy rolled their eyes. "C'mon guys, it was obviously Lolbit."
"It wasn't me!" Lolbit looked at her sibling and frowned. "What makes you think it was me??" Foxy poked at their food. "I don't think it was you, I know it was you. I recognized your 'prank call' voice and you finished it off with 'dude'."
Lolbit gave Foxy a dirty look before simply shrugging in defeat. "Alright dude, you caught me. I did it. But I can't take all the credit." Lolbit poked the redhead sitting beside her. "Shortstop helped me out."
"More like you made me help you."
"True, true."
"Aren't you two worried Afton will catch you?"
"Not really. Knowing Afton, if he doesn't see us around school he'll just assume we're absent without bothering to check attendance."
"And if he thinks we aren't here, he can't accuse us, my dudes."
"Soooo, you guys are gonna spend the rest of the day avoiding Afton like he's a murderer coming to kill you?" Ballora asked.
"Yeah, but we basically do that anyway."
The bell rang again and everyone started to slowly trickle out of the lunchroom.
After everyone had left the table, the wonder trio of Babeh, Balloro, and Lalbits started heading off to math class.
Mrs. Masters gave them a wonderful three minute lesson before dumping another huge ass packet on to them. And just like always, nobody was actually bothering to work on it.
"Hey dude, you know what I just realized? You and Mrs. Masters have like, the exact same voice. Like, if you were in a video game or something, she could totally be your voice actor. Or vice versa."
Baby frowned. "We do NOT sound the same. And seriously, ME in a video game? What kind of video game do you think I would be in?"
"A horror game for sure."
"Oh, because I'm scary, right?"
Lolbit nodded. "Yeah. Don't you think she's scary, Ballora?"
Ballora looked up from her packet (She was pretty much the only one doing it). "Mm, I don't think so. Too cute to be scary." Baby's face turned bright red and Lolbit snorted. "Upon second thought, I should have expected that answer."
"Yes, you should have." Ballora suddenly snapped her fingers. "Oh wait, I just remembered. Baby, what was that thing you wanted to tell me earlier today?"
The redhead gave Ballora a blank expression. "Oh, um, I... um, I just..." Crap, she was starting to choke on her words again. She awkwardly cleared her throat. "I'll just... tell you later." Ballora gave a slightly disappointed expression. "Alright."
"Remember dude, one more day~" Lolbit cut in, giving her friend a look that Ballora could not interpret.
"One more day? Until what?"
"You'll find out soon enough dude." Lolbit gave the bluenette a wink, which she also could not interpret the meaning of.
"Ooookkkaay."
The rest of the class went by with a few small conversations popping up here and there. As expected, Ballora was the only one who had actually managed to finish her work before the bell rang. As the three left the classroom Lolbit broke off from the group to head to her class.
Since Baby and Ballora had the same sixth hour they continued to walk together.
And then Baby was suddenly shoved into an empty classroom by Ballora.
"What the??"
Ballora shut the door. "Sorry, I spotted Afton stalking the hallway. We'll stay here until he leaves." She diverted her attention to the window by the door.
"Oh. Well, jeez. Thanks for the save."
"No problem."
They stood in silence for a few minutes.
Baby wasn't really sure what she was supposed to do with herself. For a few moments, her eyes just aimlessly searched around the unused classroom and occasionally looked back towards the girl standing right in front of her.
And then it hit her.
The two of them were in an empty classroom. All alone. She could tell her right now. She had to tell her at some point. She wanted to tell her. She REALLY wanted to tell her. She wanted this girl to know that she liked her.
But then again, the mere thought of telling Ballora was already starting to make her nervous.
She only had one day left...
Fuck.
She was gonna do it. She was gonna fucking do it. She was going to suck it up and tell this girl that she liked her.
"Hey Bal, remember that thing I was gonna tell you?"
Ballora looked back towards the shorter girl with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes?"
"Alright, well I wanted to tell you..."
Baby looked up at the taller girl, who was had a curious expression painted on face.
She quickly looked back towards the floor. "I... uh, sorta kinda... I just..." Baby sighed in frustration. Holy shit, why couldn't she just spit it out already? It felt like it had been easier to show feelings lately, why was it suddenly difficult again? She just had to fucking say it. Don't think about it, just say it. "I... Ilikeyouasmorethanafreind."
"I'm sorry, could you say that again?"
"I LIKE YOU AS MORE THAN A FRIEND!" Baby repeated.
"Oh thank god." Baby looked up back at the gorgeous french girl. She was surprised to see relief on the other girl's face. "Wait, what?"
"Did you not notice me trying to be super gay around you all year?"
"Well, Lolbit did say I was kinda fucking dense when it came to picking up on that kinda stuff."
Ballora laughed slightly. "Well then, Let me make myself super clear. Scarlett Baby Jones, I like you in the least heterosexual way possible, and I've been waiting for you to say that ALL year." Ballora smiled. She then proceeded to pull the shorter girl into a kiss.
