Upgrade (Michael Mell x Reader)

High School

Your POV (Edited)

"Get some new friends! Get them to sign your cast! Start Fresh!" Mom said, waving her hands around. (DEH reference... Sorta..)

"Uh.. Okay, Mom." I reply, taking a bite of my toast. "So, did dad finally find a job?" I ask.

"Yep! It's a computer kinda company where they make pills and stuff." mom says, leaning against the kitchen counter.

My father has been looking for a job since they fired him. Mom was just a Housewife.

I grabbed my backpack, standing and slinging it on my shoulder.

I walk out of your house, which was (The Color of your house).

I didn't walk because I would feel uncomfortable.

I decide to take the bus instead and see the bus full teenage boys, not so much of girls. I try to find a seat and I do, beside a boy who was talking to himself.

I sit and put on my headphones. Which were gray with an R and L on each side. I turn on my music and stare out the window.

Once I arrived at the school I hurried off the bus.

There was just one reason that I wanted to go to school. I have a friend that I haven't seen in forever and I just have to see him again. I look around for him, to find him next to this taller guy.

"Rich!" I call out and he turns around, different emotions start to run through me.

He walks toward me, grinning. I give him a hug, and he hugs me back. We pull away from each other.

"Long time no see, (Your Name)!" he said, and then frowned for a second.

"Yeah, I know right! When my mom told me we were moving here, I freaked."

He laughed and leaned against the lockers.

"You have no idea how much I missed you... Oh, and you really need to try out this Squip! It's like a pill that tells you how to be more cool, chill and basically popular!"

I frown, "There is nothing wrong with me... Why would I change myself to get friends who don't care about me?" I ask him. "Rich, your perfect the way you are! You don't have to change yourself for others."

His face showed different emotions at the same time. "(Your Name), I like how I am now! It's a new me!"

I was about to comment on how he was the same, but then he yelled, "Loser!" when the guy on the bus walked by.

I stare at him in disbelief. "Rich, this isn't you. And I won't talk to you until I get my best friend back." I tell him, stomping away.

It was time for class and hurried off, looking at my map and schedule as I do. Today is gonna be a long day.

Time skip to Lunch

It was already time to eat and I was starving. Rich tried approaching me multiple times but I ignored him, and everytime I did something in my chest hurt.

After going around trying to find somewhere to sit. I see the guy from on the bus with someone else.

I stop breathing as I look at the cute boy before me. He had a darkish skin tone, glasses, and beautiful brown eyes. I just stood there staring at his beautiful face as he laughed and smiled.

I finally snapped out of my daze, and take a shaky breath.

"C-Can I sit here?" I ask looking down. When I look up I see the two staring at me. I mentally slap myself for making myself seem like a stuttering idiot. I feel my face heat up, "N-Nevermind, sorry I a-asked!" I turn around quickly and begin to walk off. And I keep walking until I find an empty table. I slowly eat the sushi I made and drink some of my coke.
