Rungs of The Social Ladder: Part Two
THE BEGINNING

----------------

 You were bored out of your mind, head rested on your hand as you stared out the window. Leaves fell from the trees, and danced together on the wind, serenated by the farewell songs of the birds as they prepared to take leave for the winter. You saw none of this play, though, mind caught up in mourning of the lost freedom of summer. You had few friends, and hadn’t been social, but at least you didn’t have to do anything.

 That was the opposite of now, as you sat trapped in this class room of hellish boredom, and forced to pick a partner. They would work with you not only today, but likely the rest of the year. You really should have cared more, as being stuck with the irritants that no one else would work with, or the one popular girl who just wasn’t quite popular enough to make it in would be… undesirable, to say the least, but you simply could not force yourself to tur away from your longings, or try and find a tolerable partner.

 Semi-zoned out and oblivious to those around you, you did not notice the boy making his way towards you. His eyes, a unique and piercing red were trained on you, only moving away briefly to glance at someone who spoke to him or to look at something in front of him as not to trip on it. He ignored his friend’s requests to partner up with him, and even one or two discarded girls whose friends had chosen others.

 Gilbert’s crush on you had not gone away after the summer. In fact, it seemed to have grown bigger, if anything. He could not get you off his mind, no matter how he tried to distract himself, and he thought it about time to try and made a move.

 You didn’t turn around until someone had plunked themselves down on the lab bench right beside yours, leaning their elbows onto the table in front of you and grinning at you. Slowly you turned around, blinking [e/c] optics once or twice upon meeting a bright red pair. You recognized the albino immediately. Gilbert Beilschmidt, one of the top ‘it-guys’of your school. Opinions of him were mixed, but always strong. Some thought him as obnoxious and a waste of space upon this overcrowded Earth, and others thought him just as awesome as he always proclaimed himself to be. You were an oddity, and didn’t feel either way.

 “Hallo frau.” Gilbert was oddly nervous talking to you, and he could feel anxiety bubbling and churning in the pit of his stomach, though he simply sucked it up and flashed you a winning smirk, “I am Gilbert, but you may also call me Awesome, or The Awesome One, if you’d like.” He winked. Introductions weren’t really needed, but you played along anyway.

 “[Name].” You stated simply, to which he quickly replied with a, “Oh, I know who you are.” Gilbert internally facepalmed at that one, and would be internally cringing about it for days. At least you didn’t look to bothered, and simply looked at him somewhat expectantly. You could not possibly imagine what someone so popular would need with you, and had become curious.

“It seems everyone is partnered up already.” Gilbert tried to be cool, glancing about the room at all the other groups and ignoring the cheeky glances he was receiving from Toni and Francis, “How would you like to be partnered up with the awesome me?” Gilbert grinned, though feared the worst. He was almost surprised when you agreed.

 “Yeah, sure.”
It's finally here! ...But it's terrible.
I must put a small explanation here; I re-posted a story I wrote a few years ago to DeviantART, and a bunch of people requested that I continue it. I've finally done so.

I know this chapter is kind of lame, I apologize; I needed to put in some filler to make a proper transition from a normal one-shot to a story, and this is just setting things up. It'll get interesting, I promise. I'll try and be all dramatic and fluffy, and stuff.

Updates will probably be slow because I'm terribly at committing to things, but I will do my best to make sure this story gets continued.
