Chapter Text

Keith walked up to the school's gate. The entrance was HUGE. Shiro wasn't lying when he said he was going to place him at one of the colleges in this city. So Keith couldn't blame him though..He's been kicked several times out of other schools. Keith just never knew about this school or as he calls it the.. Rich kind. 

Shiro kept shouting at him as he waved his hands out the windshield of the car. 

God. Why was he so embarrassing sometimes.

Keith thought to himself

"I guess I'll have to ask Adam to take me to school from now on."

Keith spoke to himself

This caused such a bad entrance. Everyone's attention was right at him. How humiliating.

———

After finally searching for the office he spotted a girl with beautiful loose long hair, She looked like an angel. Her hair was amazingly white and it looked like she was wearing some sort of dress. he couldn't tell what brand it was. but. She was surrounded by so many people it was insane. Was she like some sort of queen bee? Whatever those movies are who introduced the school's popular kids. 

Keith wanted to be known as the "I've never seen him around" Type.

It's better than to randomly start a fight.

He walked into the office and asked for his schedule, there were looks and a few chit-chats but he didn't care. After the lady handed him his schedule it was finally time to start looking for the first class. He was suggested a tour guide but he knew he could manage his way around this school— What he didn't know is how HUGE this school would be.

———

"Dude. We're going to get there late." 

Hunk spoke to Lance with a loud tone. Pidge had already gotten to her classroom and Lance kept walking down the halls with his girlfriend. These two are so attached just because they have ONE thing in common. 

They were both Alteans.

"Relax Hunk.. I know what I'm doing" 

Said Lance his hand was holding Allura's as he finally decided to take her to her classroom. Luckily Allura was one of the smartest in their grade apart from Pidge skipping grades.

"Yeah okay.. I'm heading to class I'll see you there later."

Hunk spoke as he walked away, Lance slightly ignored his disappearance as he continued to walk with Allura.

"I heard there's a new kid in class."

She spoke as Lance tilted his head while he thought for a moment before speaking.

"Is it a he or a she?"

He said, Trying to make it seem like he didn't care. But he hopped it was a girl.

"It's a he.. Or so I think. He's too small to be a boy. I caught him staring at me before he went to the main office. I didn't see what he looked like though. All I saw was a black mullet and a torn up backpack."

She spoke, Her voice sounded calm and "Oh?"

Lance responded. He was disappointed but he still had hope it was a girl. He likes Allura alot but hanging out with other girls makes him happy. Although he never had the intention of cheating on her. 

He loves her.

———

As the two made their way to Alluras classroom the bell had rung. Lance led out a sigh as his hand scratched the back of his head. They stopped right at Alluras classroom but before he let Allura walk inside he kissed her cheek as she blushed kissing him back.

"Be smart and do WELL!" 

Lance said as he squished her cheek playfully, she giggled as she caressed his neck.

"Yeah Yeah.. I love you too.."

She said as she walked inside the classroom closing the door behind her.

———

As the cuban boy walked off he turned the corner only just to bump into someone. He was about to speak until he looked down to see a small boy. He had a red jacket with yellow stripes and a black shirt with black jeans and some really weird shoes — or boots. He couldn't tell the difference.

But there it was.. The moment he realized he bumped into the new student. His Black Mullet like hair.. 

"You're that new kid."

Lance spoke as he pointed at him, He couldn't believe his eyes. He thought he would get a quick reply but suddenly was pushed to the side. The smaller males strength.

Lance's eyes widened.

"What happened to excuse me or a how are you moment?"

He said as he pulled the smaller boys backpack towards him. He swore he heard a rip but didn't bother mentioning it.

"I don't have time to make friends."

The Raven haired boy answered as he pushed the taller males hand away. Making his way to his classroom. He was late on his first day. How would the teacher even react?

The real question is.. 

Why does he care about this.

Oh, This made Lance pissed. But he couldn't get his words out. He didn't know what to say or what to do. Suddenly he grabbed the males schedule out of his hands as he read through them.

Keith turned around as he reached for it. 

"Give it back you fucking moron."

Spoke Keith as he snatched it from the other males hands. He was pissed.

"YOU HAVE ADVANCED CLASSES!?"

Lance was shocked. The new kid might be smarter than he expected. But oh boy. Did he had an attitude.

"Why do you care anyways?"

Keith spoke as he walked off. He didn't have time to chit-chat with a rando in the halls. He quickly made his way to his classroom leaving Lance pondering cluelessly in the halls.

“We'll meet again, mullet”

Chapter Text

Keith entered his classroom. The time on the classroom clock was 8:45 Am. God was he so late. 

"Ah Mister Kogane."

The teacher looked at the black haired raven with a slight smile, She placed the book down as she pointed at a seat at the back row. 

"Please have a seat."

She spoke, As she grabbed a stack of papers and began to pass them to the front row of students as the students passed them back down the rows.

Keith made his way to his seat when he spotted someone who was weirdly dressed up. They had all green and the end of their hair was green and short. It almost looked like a wolf cut but it was too short to be one although she greeted him too quickly.

As he continued to look at her, she had such big glasses. It almost looked like they weren't her size, She placed her backpack on the floor after grabbing a pencil from her pencil case.

"Do you.. need one?"

She asked as the pencil was infront of his face.

"No thanks."

Spoke Keith as he reached for his pencil from the side of his backpack.

Well that was embarrassing. He stared at her for too long that she thought he was asking for something in return.

"I'm Katie.. But.. You can call me Pidge."

She said as she leans forward to reach her sheet of paper— later retreating to her lazy position.

"I'm Keith."

He replied back as he did the same except he stood up more firmly rather than accepting on a sloppy posture.

There was silence in their conversation.

Except the amount of students who were constantly chit-chatting, The teacher seemed nice as she played background music while she was on her computer.

"Are you new here? I haven't seen you in this school since freshman camp"

Pidge broke the silence.

"I guess."

Keith answered as he looked down to the paper only to find out it was about geography.

His first class was English.

"You should come sit with me at Lunch.."

She spoke again as she worked on her paper.

"That is.. If you want."

She finished it in a matter of seconds before flipping it over. Was that her way of saying she was finished? Weird.

"Sure.."

Keith accepted the invitation, Hopefully he would be surrounded by a bunch of people who are willing to start a conversation like she did. Although. He was invested to see what kind of people Pidge was friends with.

———

He finished his paper about 5 minutes later as he sets his pencil down. He continued to look at Pidge as he looked down only to find out she has a green backpack with weird space buttons on it. Some of the buttons were about planets while others were about aliens.

Weird.

She must be an Astrophile.. That's nice.

———

After 30 minutes go by the bell rings causing a whole line at the door. People were shoving and some people were pushing.

"Follow me Keith!"

Pidge spoke as she reached for his hand. Dragging him from the end of the line to out of the classroom.

"I do this often so don't worry about it."

She spoke as she released his hand.

"Yeah.. It shows."

He lets out a small chuckle as she laughed.

"So.. What class do you have next?"

She asked as soon as he reached for his schedule.

Keith pulls it out as he tilts his head.

Athletics?

Why was Athletics even on his schedule. He knows nothing about— Adam. Adam probably selected It so he could come to Keith's games. He was so pissed but he knew it was for the better so he quickly shrugged it off.

"Athletics."

He spoke as Pidge's eyes widened.

"No way you selected Athletics as your credits."

She said as she looked at him, Keith tilted his head in confusion. Credits? What the hell was that.

"Credits?"

He asked.

"Basically, You need those credits to graduate college. Otherwise you end up doing labor work for the school. I selected Art. But there are other things you could do like.. P.E, Athletics, Art, Band, Tutoring other students, Cheer, or you can take a cooking class."

She Answered.

All of those options sounded SO boring. Although.. Two of those options were okay.

"Just letting you know that the Athletics room is in the main floor since its closer to the football field."

Pidge spoke as she pats his back while waving a goodbye before making her way to her classroom.

———

Great.

Alone again.

Not that Keith didn't mind being accompanied with someone, It just feels so awkward being alone. walking alone. its strange to see couples, friends and sometimes even seeing other people walk by alone in these hallways.

He made it down to the stairway as he walked down to the main floor. 4 floors and the elevators are only used by teachers or people who can't necessarily walk upstairs.

He rushed down the hall and passed the cafeteria and the auditorium as he quickly made his way to the Athletics room.

It was huge. Two basketball and Volleyball courts. This place looked beautiful. The main colors in this school were blue and white. but not the original color blue. More like a baby blue shade.

So far he didn't know if there was a mascot or not. Since the school logo was just based off a pawprint.

As he explored around he found another door. He opened it only to see another hallway. What the hell. This hallway had so many doors. Is this like a haunted house themed school? This place was so confusing.

Lucky for him the doors were labeled.

Changing room. 

Is that the one he's supposed to go in?

He wasn't sure.

He opened the door only to see a whole set of lockers with backpacks infront of them.

Weird.

"What the hell are YOU doing in here?"

Keith quickly turned around as he gasped. 

The altean boy returned.

Chapter Text

Keith turned around as he gasped. It was that tall cuban boy. Is he in this class. No. He can't be. He's too skinny, hell. from what it looks like he doesn't even have any muscle.

"I'm in this class."

Keith responded. 

His voice was loud and harsh.

"The hell you are." 

Lance grabbed his shoulder as he shoved him against the lockers. One look at the raven haired boy and he was already pissed. He didn't know why he was so angry at him. Maybe because he's new and wants him to know who's actually the leader in their grade. Sounded corny but it was true.

"Get the fuck OFF OF ME."

The raven haired boy was pissed. He grabbed lances hand as he pushed him away. Shortly after he calmed down. He didn't wanted to be kicked out of the school. Moving away again for the 10th million time.

Lance was pissed but after a few minutes he walked out.

Only to leave a sudden surprise for him outside.

As keith settled his things on a random locker where it looked like it wasn't taken he walked out but eventually his head hit the door.

He was locked out.

"LET ME OUT."

Keith yelled out to the other male but only to hear no response back. Did he leave? No way. He was so pissed. He had no choice but to bang on the door but after a few minutes he stopped. He wasn't being heard. 

Great way to start college.

Keith sat down on the floor as he waited until the class ended, His back was against the door. A few moments later he heard a voice.

"No way out, huh?"

It was the tall cuban male.

"Very funny."

Keith led out a sarcastic laugh.

"What's your name and why were you at the hallway where all of the advanced students are? Where did you come from? Why did you come here? And how come you're small for a male?"

Lance asked, He needed all of his questions to be answered as he waited for a reply. His hand was on the door handle with the keys in the keyhole.

"My names Keith."

Keith replied as he shrugged.

"I don't know why I ended up with having all advanced classes. My parents registered me here so obviously I don't know why I came here. My height isn't your problem. But if we're talking about it you could lose some height."

Keith answered, some of them were lies but he did really mean the last bit.

Lance unlocked the door and opened it. He blocked the exit as he spoke.

"I'm Lance. I lead the freshman college students."

"So you think you're the leader of the pack? You think this is some kind of wolf pack?" 

Keith was super cringed at lance’s comment.

"I'm just letting you know I'm not going to dick-ride you like everyone else is."

Keith spoke as he shoved the other male out of his way.

"In 3..2..1.."

The bell rings.

Lance laughed as he grabbed his things from his locker. Keith took a quick glance as he noticed Lance's backpack was just plain blue. He had one pin. It was the Bisexual Flag.

No wonder he likes teasing people.

"Also. Stop staring at my girlfriend. get your own if you want one that bad."

Lance spoke as he walked off, he opened the main doors that connected to the athletic hallway.

So that's where you had to go.

Keith grabbed his things in front of his "locker" as he went to the direction the cuban boy went. He checked his schedule and noticed it was labeled ‘L1’ with no room number. 

Perhaps it was lunch.
