I've been out of high school for about a year now. And while reading the comic series, I couldn't help but wonder what classes with Uzi must be like. Or just knowing her while in school. When the two of you were being forced to interact.
If you like my work, please consider commissioning me or leaving a tip on Ko-fi (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
★ The Copper 9 school system left much to be desired. Safety? There was none. Funding seemed to be non-existent. Not to mention how you're ninety percent sure Uzi might've shot up the school if given the chance. She's brought a gun before! -Several times, actually!
★ You're on good terms with her though. So if Uzi finally did snap, you'd probably be told not to come to school tomorrow.
★ You wouldn’t call her a friend. Uzi is more of an acquaintance. Someone you know, but don't go out of your way to talk to. Sitting in front of her or right beside. People ignore her, which means you usually get left alone too.
★ For three years that was the norm. Then your senior year arrived. With it, two new classmates. After the whole "Absolute Solver" drama things quieted down. But man, that was a fun month!
★ Serial designation N and V. They both scared you at first. (V still does.) The one Uzi was dating quickly won you over. He was so eager to make new friends... Turning him away would feel too cruel.
★ As stated earlier, you tended to float around Uzi. N also stayed near the purple-haired goth girl. It didn't take long for him to start saving a seat for you. Right beside him, so you could all hang out like normal teens.
★ The other one? V teases you. Not about things you might be sensitive about. No, no. Despite being a murderer, V still has standards. Lightly bullying you. But never going too far or crossing certain lines.
★ She steals your pencils and holds them just out of reach. You pout, and she scoffs. Laughing off the fear in your eyes. "Relax. If I wanted to hurt you, I'd have done it already." You didn't believe her because prom was still in recent memory.
★ Remember, when V butchered the entire prom court? It didn't affect you much. Having decided to sit it out. From what you were told, things got messy. She and Doll got into a huge fight. Knives were thrown. The whole nine yards.
★ Uzi already took all her required fine-arts classes. N still needs to get them out of the way, and you do too. Which is how you ended up thrown into the same art electives as him.
★ He's terrible at art, but N still tries hard to improve. Constantly asking you for constructive criticism/advice. "Does this look like a dog?" You bite your tongue. Not having the heart to tell him it looks like a deformed skin-walker.
★ Once, there was a fire drill. No clue why. Seeing how smoke inhalation doesn't matter. Not to mention that one guy who's always on fire. What was his name again? Regardless, you all had to evacuate. Going outside to stand in the snow. It sucked.
