Reality

Chapter 18.

Cora

"Oh goodness they are so cute!" My mom squealed after Adam and Brandon walked out the door hand in hand.

Toby rolled his eyes. "Totally," He said sarcastically.

"What's your problem?" Mom asked.

"What's my problem? No one ever has time for me! You're always focused on Cora or Adam! What about me?! I'm going through stuff too! Did you not know that my 'girlfriend' led me on?" Both Mom and I gasped. Toby continued, "Apparently her and a bunch of the football kids wanted to 'have a little fun' with the 'new kid.'"

By now Toby had started to cry, struggling for words I said, "Tobs, I'm so sorry for being so selfish. I shouldn't have been so oblivious to the fact that you were hurting."

"I didn't think to ask you about everything that was going on. I guess I was just too caught up in all this Leo stuff," My mom said. At the word 'Leo' I winced.

Toby sighed, "I get that it sucks Cora, Leo was great. I just wish that things wouldn't have been so crazy."

"I'm going to kill that girl, what was her name?" I asked. Toby laughed a bit at my threat.

Between laughs/cries Toby said, "Valorie."

"Last name?"

"Frederickson."

I walked around the empty hallways of the school trying to find where the sophomores had their lockers. Jeez, they hide these things well.

Finally I found it. I saw a group of girls by some lockers, I could just ask them if they knew a Valorie Frederickson. "Hey, I'm Cora, do you guys know Valorie Frederickson?" I asked walking up to them.

A girl with shocking blue eyes and sharp facial features raised her hand. "I'm Valorie," She said.

I stepped closer. "Well, let me tell you something Valorie. I am Toby's sister." All the girls gasped. "Yeah that's right, and you shouldn't have done what you did to him. Because I will personally punch you into next week if you ever mess with him again!"

"Just for the record, I'm not scared of you," Valorie spat.

"That's too bad, because you should be."

She looked at me with an innocent expression on her face, but her eyes shown pure venom. "And why is that?"

Why is that? Why should she be scared of me? I couldn't do anything..... "Because if you and all your little friends apologize to Toby I will make your high school experience a living hell."

Her expression faltered, I had her. "F...fine."

"Pleasure doing business," I smiled and walked off to where my locker was, on the other side of the school.

When I got back to the lockers Chris was waiting for me at my locker. "Hey," he said as I approached.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

Chris shrugged, "I just wanted to walk you to class."

"Cheese ball."

"What's wrong with that?" Chris stuck out his arm and I took it.

"Nothing babe, I like you just the way you are."

"Aw damn, you like me. Wow I just suck."

"No, I don't like you. I really like you."

Chris 'booped' my nose and said, "I really like you too. Like a lot."

I heard a faint 'aww' and a squeal. I turned my head and there stood Julia and Derek behind a trash can, cooing at Chris and I. I pointed them out to Chris and said, "We've got some stalkers."

He let out a hearty laugh before saying, "Go write some fanfiction! It'll help with your hormones!" He said it to Julia and Derek. Both of my friends blushed before running off.

"You know what fanfics are?" I asked leaning into Chris.

Chris' eyes sparkled. "Of course I do! What's your fanfic guilty pleasure?"

"Don't judge me but it's definitely gay Percy Jackson ships."

"Oh my goodness me too! Percico or Solangelo?"

"Percico! I can't believe it's not canon, Uncle Rick needs to get on that."

"I agree, I don't ship Percabeth."

"Neither do I. I ship Pipabeth, Jercy, Valdangelo, Octachel, Frazel, and Caleo."

"But your shipping people in multiple ships."

"They're all together in different universes." Obviously.

He laughed again, "Ookayyyy."

"What, do you think I'm crazy?" 

"No no no, I just think it's funny. I really only ship Percico, Caleo, Frazel, Pipabeth, and Octachel."

"How could you not ship Jercy?!" I stopped him right there. They were the ultimate bromance. 

"I don't know."

We had arrived at my classroom so I just huffed and walked into the classroom feeling satisfied with my argument. He's so perfect, an inner nerd. He ships most of the couples I do, and he loves fanfiction. It's also a plus that he's super duper hot. Not to brag or anything....
