Unlikely (Nerd! Fresh x Jock! Paperjam)

Chapter Nine

*PJ POV*

After Alphys told me where Fresh went I snuck around the dance floor so Bunny couldn't see me and I pushed open the heavy doors of the gym.

The loud music in the gym faded as I closed the door behind me. I looked around and saw Fresh sitting by the wall of the hallway. His head was leaning back and his eyes were closed.

I cautiously walked up to him and cleared my throat. "Fresh..?"

Fresh didn't move so I poked his head. He answered the gesture with a high pitched snore.

I smiled at him. He had fallen asleep. I tapped his head again a little harder. His head slightly shifted on the wall.

"Fresh!" I say just above a talking voice. Fresh's eyes shoot open.

"Huh? What?" He questions. He soon catches a glimpse of me and gives me a questioning look.

"Oh uh... I wanted to find you... you were sleeping so I woke you up..." I said to him. He raised a non-existing eyebrow at me.

"Why did you want to find me?" He asks. I tense up, not preparing myself for this question. I notice that the music in the gym is not blaring anymore. It's probably a slow song. An idea pops in my head.

"Do you.. want to dance?" I ask. I hold out my hand to him. He gives me a questioning look before slapping my hand away.

"Why would you want to dance with me? Probably to embarrass me in front of everybody? I know your tricks." Fresh's words sting me a little. He definitely still has some grudges with me.

I look at him dumbfounded and hurt. "C'mon that was in the past..! Please..?" I ask. Now I just sound desperate. I don't know why I want him to dance with me so bad. He growls.

"No I'm not dancing with a jerk like you. I'm leaving. Oh and tell Alphys that she can drive herself home. I didn't even want to come to this dance anyway." Fresh ranted as he stood up and walked past me to the school doors.

He really does hate me.

*Fresh POV*

I've always thought PJ was mean and mischievous but asking me to dance? He was probably gonna pour punch on my head in front of everyone. Or spread rumors that I'm gay for him. Hah no. Not in a million years.

I kicked a rock out of sheer frustration on the sidewalk. PJ is so dumb. Did he expect me to swoon over him and say yes to a dance? He was so mean to me the first three weeks of school and now he wants me to forget that? Uh no. Squished sandwiches are the worst kind of sandwiches to have.

I took out my phone to text Alphys.

*Texts*
(F=Fresh, A=Alphys)

F- Hey sorry I couldn't stand that dance anymore. I'm walking home now.

A- What? You ditched me?

F- You seem to be having fun with Undyne. Ask her to drive you home.

A- Okay...

A- Why did you leave?

F- PJ made me mad.

F- He asked me to dance.

A- What really? Why didn't you say yes?

F- I hate him! He was so mean to me!

A- Yea he WAS. I'm sure if you give him a chance he would be nicer to you.

F- Hah no.

A- Please give him a chance!

F- Have fun byeeeeeee

*End of Texts*

*PJ POV*

After I watched Fresh exit I walked back into the gym. Undyne noticed me first.

"Dude you looked messed up. What happened?" Undyne asked. Alphys looked concerned too.

"Before I say anything Alphys you promise never to repeat any of this to Fresh okay?" I tell her. She hesitated before nodding.

I let out a long sigh as I told them the story about Fresh rejecting me.

"You just need to earn Fresh's trust back. Show him that you're not a bad guy anymore." Undyne said. I nodded.

Alphys fangirled. "You two are my new favorite ship." She said and smiled. I rolled my eyes.

"Wait is Fresh gay?" I asked Alphys. She shrugged.

"I think so... but sexuality isn't one of the main topics we talk about. I've heard him mention it a couple of times." She said and shrugged again. "To be honest I didn't even know you were gay PJ."

"I didn't either." I mumbled under my breath. Apparently Undyne heard it though and laughed.

"How do I earn Fresh's trust back?" I ask. Alphys shrugs again.

"Don't ask me ask yourself." Alphys said. Undyne then got excited as one of her favorite songs started playing and soon the couple were back on the dance floor.

Nothing could take my mind off of that one question. Not even Bunny's ugly high pitched screeching or BP and Undyne's bickering.

'How do I earn Fresh's trust?'

School gets out in two days and I'm excited. I'll have more than enough time to work on this fanfiction and maybe even start another one involving a certain skele. (Wiggles eyebrows)

ANYWAY I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY/NIGHT AND STAY HEALTHY
