My Pastel Prince ~Dorl~ {Completed}

Big Oof's

Thursday

"Braden...", a soft voice says. I feel someone violently shaking me. "Get up! We're going to miss the bus!" I open my eyes and see that I'm completly surrounded by darkness.

"What time is it?", I ask, rubbing my good eye. "5 in the morning", Alex says. "What?! It's too early!", I whine. I put the covers over my head.

"Ugh...", he groans. He pulls the covers off of me. "Well, I live far away from the school! So I have to wake up early!", he says. "But I don't wanna go to school", I groan. He turns on the lights.

"I hate that you act like me in the mornings sometimes...", he says, rolling his eyes," Now I know how my parents feel." He grabs my leg and pulls me out of bed.

"Get! Up!", he says. I jump up. "Alright! I'm up!", I say. "Thank gosh...", he says," Anyways, since you don't have your own outfits at the moment, you can wear mine! I mean, I'm pretty sure we wear the same size." I frown a little. "I'm pretty sure I'm fatter than you...", I say. "Nonsense!", he gasps," You're just a little thicc, that's all!" He smiles sweetly.

"Anyways, go! Go pick out your outfit!", he says, shoving me into his closet. I look around a little. His clothing choices wasn't my style, since I liked simple pastel colors like light pink, baby blue, and white and he liked bright, fun colors, but I guess I had no other choice.

I pick up a bright rainbow sweater. "Uhm, how do I match this?", I ask. Alex gasps. "That's one of my favorite sweaters so don't mess it up!", he says.

He starts picking out black shorts, black high top converses, white high knee socks with rainbow stripes at the top, and a rainbow flower crown.

"Here! Put these on!", he says, shoving everything in my arms," I have to pack my backpack!" He dashes out of the closet.

I put on everything and look into the body mirror. The outfit was cute and all but the sweater was a little big and the shorts were too short, and it's freezing cold outside.

"Are you ready yet?", Alex asks, walking into the closet. "Uhm...I don't think I can wear this...", I say. "What do you mean?", he asks. "You know...dress code", I say. He starts giggling.

"We don't have dress code, silly", he says. I blush. "Oh...I feel stupid now", I say. "No. It's okay", he says," You look so cute though!" I blush.

"Anyways, we need to get going!", he says, grabbing my hand. We make our way downstairs and outside, walking towards the bus stop.

~*20 Minutes Later*~

"Hey, Sub!", Alex says, as we approach the bus stop. Sub turns and waves. "Hey Alex and Braden!", he says," Alex told me everything that happened. I hope you're okay!" "Yeah, I'm fine now...", I say.

"So...", Sub says, smirking a little," Are you two a thing now?" "What?", Alex asks," Why do you even think that?" He points to our intertwined hand. I quickly let go and blush.

"Uhm, friends can hold hands too!", Alex says, feeling offended and blushing. He grabs my hand again. "Hmph", he pouts. "Jeez, I was just teasing", Sub says, rolling his eyes.

The bus pulls up and we get on. "So, how long does it take to get to the school?", I ask, sitting next to Alex. "Uhm...2 hours", he says. I groan and slide down a little in the seat. This is going to be a long bus ride.

"Why do you have to live so far away from the school," I mumble. "Not my fault", he says," The houses are prettier on this side of the city, I guess, and my parents got it cause they like pretty, expensive things." "Hm, no wonder you like expensive pretty stuff...", I say," spoiled rat." "Hey!", he says, playfully punching my arm. I giggle a little.

Sub gasps. "Guys! Guess what?!", he asks. "What?", Alex asks. "Uhm...I don't wanna upset Braden though...", he says. "It's okay. You can tell me", I say. "Uhm, well...Denis has a girlfriend!", he exclaims. Alex gasps. "Who?!" "Taylor
", he says. "Ew, isn't she that weird girl who likes asmr?", Alex asks. "I think so...", Sub replies.

It felt like I've been stabbed in the heart. As much as I "disliked" Denis, I still somewhat love him. Iwas just being dramatic over all the things I said about him.

"Oh...good for him...", I say quietly. Alex hugs me. "It's okay, Braden", he says," You'll get someone else. I gurantee it." "Really?", I ask, looking him in the eyes. "Yeah!", he exclaims", You're a sweet, funny, and beautiful soul!" I blush.

"Not to mention that you're also thicc", he says, giggling," Also, Tyler is always an option" He nudges me a little. "Ew, no", I say," I could never date him." He shrugs. "It's worth a shot", he says," You never know."

"Whatever", I say," Anyways, Sub, how did you even know that?" "Oh, Elijah told me yesterday", he says," He saw her and Denis at their bus stop." "Hm, I forget that Denis is Bi", Alex remarks", He seemed way more interested in guys than girls, but you know. It's whatever."

"Can we please stop talking about Denis for once?", I ask, rolling my eyes. "Sorry...", Sub says," I just wanted to spill some tea." "The only kind of tea I like is sweet tea", I say, crossing my arms," Sweet and juicy." "Stop describing yourself, Braden," Alex giggles," We get it." "Oh, you", I blush," You're such a flirt." He blushes. "I try", he says, smiling sweetly.

~*Time Skip*~

"Hey guys!", Elijah says, as we approach the breakfast table. "Hey", Sub says. "Man, I've only been gone 3 days and so many things have changed", I say. "It's only because it's almost valentines day", Alex states. "I totally forgot about that!", Sub gasps. "It's not like you've got someone", Elijah teases. "Shut up!", Sub says, blushing. "Well, I have no one...anymore...", I say. "It's okay, you don't need no man!", Elijah says. "Hey guys! I-", a voice says. I turn to see Denis.

"Oh uhm...Hi, Braden", he says. I frown a little. He sits beside Elijah. "So uhm, big news!", he says," I uh...I've got a girlfriend!" "Yeah...we know", Alex says. "How?", Denis asks. "I told them", Elijah says. "Ugh, you spoil everything", Denis complains," I wanted to tell them myself!" Elijah shrugs. "Too late."

Alex grabs my hand. "Are you okay?", he asks," You're face is so red." "Oh uhm...I don't know...", I say. "Maybe he's jealous...", Elijah teases. "I'm not...", I say," I'm happy for him." That was a straight up lie.

"Oh, uhm, thanks", Denis says," Also, I love your outfit! You look cute." I blush. "Thank you...", I say shyly. "Anyways, are you still moving away?!", Sub asks. "I was getting to that!", Denis says, smiling," I can stay!" "Yay!", Elijah cheers.

Briiiing

"Ugh, time for class...", Alex groans," Bye, everyone." We all split off to our classes.

~*Time Skip*~

"Ugh, I can't believe that she gave us so much homework!", I complain. "Same! I hate her!", Alex says. "Well, might as well get started...", I say, opening my notebook.

A yellow slip falls out of a page in my notebook. "What's that?", Alex asks. I grab it. "It's another note from my secret admirer", I say.

Dear Braden,
I've heard what has happened to you over the past few days. I am so sorry for you and I hope you're feeling better. It's been a little while, hasn't it? Well, it doesn't matter how much time passes, I still love you. I'll always love you. No matter what! Also, I have a surpise for you on Valentine's Day :) xx
~Your secret admirer

"Aww, Braden", Alex says," Have you figured out who it was?" "Well...I thought it might have been Denis but...I guess not", I say. "Well, they might reveal themself on valentines day!", he exclaims. "Maybe...", I say," I just...I don't know how to feel."

"Why do you sound so sad about this?", he asks. I deeply sigh. "Well, truth is is that I still love Denis", I say," I was just being dramatic. But, maybe he's happier with his new soulmate." "No", he says, frowing," You're his soulmate. You guys were meant for each other. You and him connected so quickly!" I shrug. "You two are just being stubborn and stupid to realize that you still like each other!"

"Hey! You don't have to be mean about it", I say. "I'm not! I'm just saying!", he says. "Okay, whatever", I say," Let's just do our homework and get this over with."
