Ranboo / Nathan's POV - First Person

!!TW!! ||  jealousy, and the normal angst ensues (if yk, yk)

". . . So, they HAD to be flirting!" I throw my hands up in frustration.

"Ranboo, you need to clam down," Tommy tells me. He was wringing his fingers and he had a faraway look in his eyes, like he was thinking of something.

"Wait, wait, wait, just back up for a sec," Tubbo raised his eyebrows. "Finnegan Celleir now goes to your school?"

"YES," Tommy and I tell him.

"But that's a bit strange, innit?" Tommy rubs his dimpled chin. "You said your school district never accepted any new students, but here they are, letting in a famous person, and Lauren." He looks to a part of his screen that must be showing my live feed. "That has to mean Lauren has some importance to her, or her family."

"That's what I said," I pointed out. He just nodded.

"Hold on," Tubbo suddenly said. "Finnegan is famous, and therefore has a lot of money. Maybe the same goes for Lauren."

"The school doesn't just accept people for money." I tell him. "It's heavily funded by the state because it's the best school around. And even if that weren't true, I've seen the principal decline kids who want to get in, and some of their parents are wealthy investors."

"Then that just narrows it down to fame." Tubbo leans back in his chair and crosses his arms as if he were Sherlock and he had just cracked a case.

"Yeah, it does," Tommy sat up in his chair. "How famous were those 'wealthy investors' you were talking about?"

"Well, they run banks and restaurant chains across America."

"But do their names hold any significance?"

I think for a second. "No."

Tommy snapped his fingers. "That is why. I'm guessing that the school doesn't want anyone from the outside in because they are teaching elitists- elitists that they created and will bring a good rep to the district, IN WHICH causes the government to give money to the school." He took a breath and continued. "As for Celleir and Lauren, they would not let them in, unless they had some importance to them. They are already rolling in cash from the government, so we can just cross out money. SO, that reason must be fame, which Finnegan makes obvious. But we know who Finnegan is, though. We just need to know

who Lauren really is."

I sit there, my heart beating in my ears. Everything Tommy had said made sense. The school wouldn't want money, they want the big names; ones that will bring attention to them. Finnegan Celleir was notable for his acting in Metropolis and another series. He has an Oscar and multiple Emmys- and him going to my school is the very thing that would attract the press.

But on the other hand, I have never heard of Lauren Vega before.

So she has to be hiding who she actually is.

My phone buzzes and I jump. I pick it up and see that Kelly had texted me.

"Who's that?" Asks Tubbo.

"One of my classmates," I clarify, "not Lauren or Celleir."

I open her text. "Heyy, Nathan 🤗"

"Oof." I grimace.

"Who is it?" 

"No one good." Kelly only texts me if she wanted something; help with homework (more like I do her homework), notes she didn't get in class (my notebook is basically hers at the moment), or for answers on a test (which I always ignore). But this text came out of nowhere- we barely have homework and we didn't write a single thing today. 

What could she possibly want from me? I wonder.

"Whats up?"

"You wanna hang out? 🥺"

I stare at my phone.

Huh?

THANK YOU FOR 2K!!!

Today is truly a good day- it's Friday, there's a new SAD-ist animation, and I went up by 300 reads from yesterday.

Tomorrow and Sunday will be even better, but today, I want to thank you guys for reading this damned book. You should see it while I write; bold and italicized words everywhere, parentheses and brackets in places for future revisions, and A LOT OF GRAMMATICAL ERRORS.

It is a horror, and nothing is more satisfying than polishing it and hitting publish.

(on purpose, that is) 

I try to reply to every comment, but sometimes I can't cos I just really don't know what to tell you. Just know that I read them, I guess.

I LOVE YOU GUYS! [also, pls follow [haha jkjk unless 👀]]

-Ra <3

P.S. you guys also ruined another cry chapter. LET ME WRITE A CRY CHAPTER WITH YOU GUYS ACTUALLY CRYING.
