I need you, I need you, I need you

chapter 124-where damage isn't already done

March 23rd, 2020
Rachel's p/v
Darry and I had extra time on our hands so we decided to choose each other's outfits. Someone needs to remind me to never let us do that ever again. He made me wear my brown smokey the bear shirt, black mom jeans, black leather jacket, and black docs. This is so sad 2019 Rachel. I at least used his "professor" clothes. Where's the lady from 16 Wishes when you need her.

"I hope we get to actually have time to explore the park. Haven't been to Disney since last summer."
"The one time I went left me in absolute awe. Mrs. Holt has got to let us."
Tyler plays with my hair. "What are you most excited for?"
"The workshop. I still can't people I got the most votes. Everyone voted for themselves."
"Declan voted for you, Aiden voted for you, the list goes on."
"Yeah, right. What are you most excited for?"
"The rides. Sure the workshop will be fun, but I don't want to see this mini vacation like a work-trip."
"Except it is a work-trip, just that we aren't getting paid."
"We're getting paid, but in rides. I'll convince Captain Hook to ride one with me."
"And I'll convince Pluto."
"Favorite Micky Mouse character?"
"Yesss! He's so silly."
"I know what souvenir to get you now."
"Is it a souvenir if I'm going right after you?"
"Why the hell not."
"Cool, cool. I know what I'm getting you too..." I look forward. Quinn is back at school. Deja Vu. I've seen that outfit before.
"All good, love?"

I get out of the position I was in; sitting in between Tyler's legs. That outfit. Where I have seen it before?
Blue/white pinstripe blazer, green tube top, matching green flowey pants, and white sneakers.
"Quinn is wearing an outfit that reminds me of something. I can't put my finger on it."
Tyler stands up. "Your birthday outfit. It's the exact thing."
"Holy shit, you're right. Did she copy me?"
"Too much of a coincidence. Let it go, love. She just wants a reaction out of you."
"You're right. Let's go somewhere else." I grab my Kanken and walk away. Thanks Darry, you made me look like a 2014 grunge Tumblr post. I've been healing so well, this Quinn sighting cannot throw me off course. She means nothing to me.

Mary's p/v
"We're going to be late to class! How do you walk so fast in platform wedges?"
"Ever since I rode my board in heels in 9th grade. You sir are going to tell me what you wrote back," I let go of Jenna's hand, "s'il te plaît, parle."
She crosses her arms. "I haven't responded?"
"You haven't responded? What are you waiting for you! Get your mans."
"It's all happening too fast."
"What? Change?"

Aiden's p/v
"Dude no one comes to the q building, let the water works come out."
"I'm not sad, just disappointed. Do you think this was her goal all along? To see me illusioned?"
"Maybe she's nervous. The girl is too nice to lead people on."
"So I have to wait until she texts me back."
"Or you can talk to her in person. Let's deliver a fake note stating that Jenna must leave her class immediately."
"No! I'm too nervous to face her right now."
"Then you can't be mad at her for being nervous. Give her a few hours, there's no rush."
"Yeah, you're no help." Kyle walks away. I walk out of the aisle between both portable classrooms. Where did this kid go?

Mary's p/v
"I can write a pretty believable note-"
"I'm doing it on my own time, let me go to class." Jenna walks away. I walk out of the aisle between both classrooms. Aiden? Ew.

Aiden's p/v
Ok I did not need to see Rachel Berry this early in the morning.

Darry's p/v
"No to my girlfriend's party? C'mon, it's the first party she's ever hosted."
"My weekend priorities are spending time with Rachel and Mary and work. The nightly game of Smash too."
"So basically a nerd with game," Nigel shakes his head, "you've become a new person in only a few weeks."
"Well I don't smoke anymore because I don't have a reason to. Rachel and I are getting along, I'm falling in love with Mary, and I was promoted to assistant manager. I don't need the parties to keep me happy."
"We're seniors, Darry. Even Hector is coming! Just one and you're off my hook."
I sigh. "Fine, I'll go. But it's a school night-"
"Don't be a loser. You can invite Rachel and Mary."
"I'll think about it. Let's deliver these textbooks before the teacher thinks we're goofing off-wait a second," I stack my textbooks on top of Nigel's, "Mary!"
