Save Me

Mission Make-A-New-Friend is a Go

(Jedediah's POV)

I nearly jump out of my seat. Lance, my best and only friend, slams his pile of textbooks onto our table. We had claimed the table in the left corner back in eighth grade. I've known Lance for quite a while and he's a great friend. He's the only person I know wouldn't be mean to me.

"Lance what the-" I screech.

Lance stares at me, "New kid." He informs me, "Our grade."

I gasp, there was not many new kids in our grade. Plus we're pretty tired of the same people.

"School is starting in ten minutes!" I cry, "Where are they?"

"He's the awkward one standing by the main door."

I smile, "Mission Make-A-New-Friend is a go."

I grab my backpack and binder. Lance leaves his stuff on the table while I leap up from the table. We make our way toward him, pretending we haven't noticed him.

"I hope he's not annoying." I whisper to Lance.

"Oh hello there!" I cringe as Lance loudly 'notices' the new kid, "Are you new here?"

I roll my eyes, he points out the obvious. People glare in our direction.
"Uh, yes I am?" He replies, "My name is-"

"What's your name?" Lance continues not giving him any time to respond, "My name is Lancelot, but people call Lance. And this is Jedediah."

Lance points at me and I wave awkwardly.

"Octavius." He says, extending his hand.

I shake his hand while Lance is a whole mood and fist bumps him.

"You wanna sit with us at our table?" I ask politely, trying to not scare him away.

"Sure!" Octavius cheerfully exclaims.

"Sweet." Lance says and drags us back to our table.

"Lance! The bell rings in like a minute!" I scream checking my phone, "Why are we going back to the table?!"

"I left my bag and textbooks on the table and Octavius needs to know where it is for lunch."

"Fine!" I reply annoyed and let myself be dragged.

Before the bell rings I yell to Octavius.
"What classes do you have this morning?"

"I have math, a free period, and then english." He yells back.

"I have English then too!" I excitedly say, "What teacher?"

"Mr. Daily."

"Me too! See you then!" I tell him. My first class, science, is all the way across the school so it takes me the whole five minutes of time to get to your class to get there.

The bell rings and we all rush our separate ways

(A/N: Guess who actually worked up the courage to post the first part of my high school au! I'm so sorry about the cover, I have no idea what to have as the cover.
Also, I'm thinking of writing a Queen group chat fanfic. But like I'm sorta worried about my friends judging me, and would anyone read it? Im guessing most of the people reading this aren't in the Queen fandom,, but I wanted to tell someone cause I have no one to tell. Lol I'm lonely.)
