Sophomore year at a new school sucks—no familiar faces, no familiar halls to wander when you got bored with class, and no Hollis to see. You tried to make new friends; you really did, but everyone in that school seemed to already belong to a group. Friends or no friends, you just wanted to make it to the end of the day so you could go home and finally talk to Hollis.
Counting down the minutes till the final bell rang felt like an eternity. 5 minutes… 4… 3… 2… RINGGGG, finally the day was over. You walk through the crowded hallway to the lot where the buses are held. You walk onto your bus, looking for an empty seat to sit down in. Once seated, you take out your phone and look through your notifications, not really caring about any of them until you scroll and find Hollis’s text messages waiting for you.
Hollis: Y/N I FINALLY FINISHED THE SONG
Hollis: drippysoup - mesmerizing
You tap on the link and put on your headphones to give it a listen. You always adore whatever song he sends you, but there’s something different about this song. The chords played in the first 20 seconds really resonate with you, while not played throughout the entirety of the song; every time they pop up, they always seem to grab your attention. Finishing out the song, you text him back.
You: THAT WAS REALLY GOOD
You: Those recurring chords you kept playing in the song were really good. I loved it. XD
Hollis: I’m glad you loved it. It took me forever to finally finish this. :0
Hollis: Wanna hop on Minecraft when you're home?
You finally made it off the bus and into your house. Running straight up the stairs into your room, shrugging off your backpack and turning on your computer. You loaded up Minecraft and immediately called Hollis. “What took you so long?” Hollis asks through the phone. “Sorry, sorry, the bus ride to my house takes forever, I swear,” you say, annoyed that you couldn’t get home any faster. “It’s fine.” Hollis laughs. “How’s school over there? Made any friends yet?” You really wish he didn’t ask you that. “UGHHHH I HATE THAT SCHOOL SO MUCH!” you rant to Hollis. “And I really haven’t made any friends there. There’s this one girl that sits next to me in science that I talk to, but only cause i have to!” You confess to him. “Well, at least you have someone to talk to. Life's so boring without you here.” Hollis groans. You and Hollis continue to play Minecraft for the next couple of hours, not really talking about anything important. You finally get off when you're called down for dinner, saying goodnight to Hollis and hanging up.
The next day, school goes by quietly except for science because the girl next to you keeps talking to you, trying to pry any information about yourself out of you. “Where’d you come from?” she asks you. “Uhmm idk my mom’s vagina.” You laugh at your own sly remark. She rolls her eyes at you. “Ugh, you know what I meant.” - “I’m from California,” you tell her. “Cool cool, do you have any hobbies?”- “Uhmmm, I play Minecraft a lot, and I do like writing. Her eyes widened when you tell her that. “REALLY?!” - “Yeah, do you play or something?” - “Well, duh, we should play sometime.” - “How about tonight? I don’t have anything going on.” - “YEAH OKAY,” she says excitedly. “What’s your name btw sorry!” you say with a sheepish grin. “Oh yeah, im brooke.” She smiles proudly. She ends up giving you her username and Discord; you pocket the piece of paper, saving it for when you get home. The bell rings, and the day is over. Waving goodbye to your new friend, you get excited to play Minecraft with someone else other than Hollis.
As you walk through the front door, your mother calls for you from the kitchen. You tell your mom that you’ll be right there, but to give you a minute to set your things down. Finally making your way to the kitchen, you call out to her. “Yes, Mom?” - “Have you been doing your homework? I feel like the second you walk through that front door your already in your room on your computer.” She asks with her back to you, looking in the fridge. “Yeah, I’ve been doing my homework; I’d be failing all my classes if I didn’t,” you answer honestly, standing awkwardly in the kitchen. “Okay, baby, I just wanted to make sure. Do you want to help me make dinner?” She sets down the items she got from the fridge. “No, Mom, sorry, maybe another time. I told my friend I would play with them after school.” - “Okay, I love you!” - “ I love you too, Mom.” You roll your eyes and turn on your heel to head upstairs.
Heading into your room and turning on your pc to add the girl from science, you see that you have two missed calls from Hollis. “Fuck I’ve gotta call him back.” You call him back, and he answers after the first ring. “ What took you so long to call me back?” - “Sorry, my mom was talking to me,” you tell him, sitting down in your chair. “It’s fine. Are you gonna get on the server orrrrr?” he asks, wondering why you're not on yet. “No, actually I’m gonna be playing with my friend,” you confess. “Sorry!” - “I can play with you later, though I mean it is the weekend.” You tell him awkwardly; you hate having to tell him no. “Yeah, okay, just call me when you're done,” he says, annoyed. You hang up on him. Messaging the girl and play for a couple of hours until dinner is ready.
After dinner, you ended up taking a nice hot everything shower; under the streaming water, you could feel the stress from that week leaving your body. Finally stepping out of the shower, you wrapped yourself up in a towel, making your way into your room to change into an oversized tee and shorts that you should’ve probably gotten rid of a long time ago. You dry off your hair some and brush it through, in front of the mirror hanging off your closet door. Throwing the towel into the laundry basket and setting your hair brush on your desk, you flop onto your bed, grabbing your stuffed animal to lie on and finally FaceTime Hollis back.
“HIIIII,” you basically say into the void of your phone because of how dark it is in Hollis’s room. “hey” he says back groggly it obvious that you just woke him up with your call. “Sorry I called so late; I kinda lost track of time,” you say with a sheepish grin on your face. “I don’t mind.” - “Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask, but what are you doing this summer?” You stare at the boy on your phone, thats Buried in a mountain of pillows, waiting for his answer. “Uhmm idk my mom really hasn’t said anything about our summer plans yet, what about you?” - “Ughhh we’re doing nothing since we just moved here. I wish you were here though so summer wouldn’t have to be so boring.” You roll your eyes and squirm around on your bed. “That’s not a bad idea.” - “What?” you ask him. “Me coming over for the summer, I mean, I could ask. I don’t know why my mom wouldn’t say yes. She loves you and your family.” - “REALLY?” Your eyes widen with excitement.
