Cliff’s shirt and blue jeans

-x-

Cliff stared, unimpressed, at his cafeteria food. For a prestigious, fancy academy even Metric had shitty lunch options sometimes. Today he hadn’t felt like bringing a lunch, so here he sat with his best friend Noah beside him at a crowded table, poking his food as though it was going to bite him.

Overall the food wasn’t bad, for a school lunch. It consisted of a cheeseburger with fries and a mysterious yellow goop that Cliff was pretty sure was supposed to be cream corn, or it had been at one point, but then the cooks cave up and just served it as some kind of weird soup thing. Cliff was currently poking that as he listened to the people around him talk about stupid things, but the most recurring topic of conversation was the upcoming homecoming dance.

Given that it was late September already, the first big event of the semester was the dance. Most people were busy securing dates, complaining about a lack of dates, ect. By now, Cliff knew exactly who was going with who to the dance and who, of the popular crowd, didn’t have a date. Cliff didn’t really care. He’d never held much of an interest in the dance. His best friend, Noah, was more interested in asking girls than Cliff was. Yet somehow every year, the two of them seemed to go stag… Cliff never commented on that when Noah bragged about the girls he talked to.

”Did they miss the memo to serve a veggie with lunch, or did they opt for a soup instead?” Cliff grumbled, using the plastic spoon his lunch tray came with to scoop up the goopy liquid. ”It’s a bit of a corny lunch… if you ask me.”

Cliff took a bite of his burger, looking at the other trays surrounding them. The minutes ticked on, and Cliff was bored. But while staring at a particularly unappetizing serving of what appeared to be meatloaf, Cliff got a brilliant idea.

”Noah!” He yelled out, getting the attention of everyone else at the table, too. ”I bet you couldn’t eat this goob. Wait, no—I bet you can’t eat everyone’s grossest food! I bet you a dare.”

Cliff grinned at his friend, knowing that the both of them found it hard to resist bets for dares. If Cliff lost and Noah could finish all of the disgusting food, then Noah got to dare Cliff to do anything he wanted without objection—and if Noah couldn’t finish the bet, then Cliff got to give his friend a dare. Cliff rose his brows over at his friend.

”Up for a challenge?”

Noah's outfit

Noah gazed off into the distance where a poster for Homecoming mocked him. He tried to ask out five girls to the dance just this week but they all fell through. Five out of five rejected him, it seemed like pretty terrible odds, surely he should have had at least one acceptance by now. Well, technically he probably could find a date but she would most likely be one of the creepy, desperate variety. But no, he was determined to find someone from the popular crowd to go with him which was unfortunately very unlikely. The odds were stacked against him.

He refused to go stag again this year! Sure, it was fun to attend dances with his best friend but he wanted to know what it would be like to go with a girl for once. Noah needed to show off his dance moves to someone! And slow dancing with Cliff was just…weird. He would definitely feel bad if he managed to find a date and his best friend didn’t, but maybe he would find a girl who could hook up his friend as well. Then they would both be set!

His attention was drawn from the taunting poster when he heard Cliff make a comment about the lunch. Noah glanced down at his own tray which looked no better than anyone else’s. Luckily he opted out of the creamed corn or whatever it was and took the slightly less threatening looking jell-o. Unfortunately it was not much better because it had a lot of jiggle to it and there were weird green bits floating around inside. Green? That didn’t seem right. Didn’t they usually put fruit in these things? He gave the jell-o a prod with his eating utensil before frowning as he jiggled like his mom’s belly fat.

“I think they’re trying to kill us. You’d think for as fancy as shit is around here that the food would match...wonder if they serve better stuff at the college,” Noah commented before putting his spork down. He rolled his eyes dramatically at Cliff’s pun before laughing. “Dude, the only thing corny around here is your jokes,” he informed him as he gave his bestie a little nudge with his elbow.

He looked down at his own burger and pulled off the top of the bun and smothered it in ketchup, hoping that would mask the taste of the meat. Noah took a bite and chewed with his mouth open. His mother always scolded him for eating so crudely, but his manners often went out the window whenever he was away from home.

The boy nearly jumped out of his seat when Cliff yelled his name. “Shit, man, I’m right here!” Noah stated as he put a finger in his ear and wiggled it around as if his friend made him deaf. His eyes widened as soon as he heard the words ‘I bet’. He was never unsatisfied by one of Cliff’s bet, so he listened closely to what he had to say.

Noah’s smile faltered slightly when Heathcliff mentioned having to eat the gross food of the cafeteria; however, he was not going to step down to a challenge. He was a boy, he’d probably eaten much grosser things in his day.

“Alright, I’ll do it, but what is the dare if I can’t eat it?” he inquired.

Shyanne’s outfit / Eye makeup

-x-

When Noah agreed to the dare, Cliff snickered, shrugging his shoulders.

”I think the college students get to leave for lunch. They’re lucky.” Cliff pointed out, already longing for the freedom to live and eat wherever he wanted. Preferably in his house, where he could actually prepare a meal for himself and his best friend, and not be subjected to the whims and detrimental choices of whoever picked the menu for the high school students.

Noah did beg a good point, though. What would be a good dare? The area they were in was optimal embarrassment central. The cafeteria, with at least 20 minutes left of lunch, was chalk full of students would could only leave to go to the bathroom and back. Cliff scanned the room, wanting to find a dare. He craned his ears to listen to the popular table, sparing a glance at it.

He could spot Shyanne Volle, surrounded by people, her posse. Cliff had never liked Shyanne; she was annoying, bitchy, and way too giggly for his tastes. She was sitting with her legs folded underneath the lunch table, batting her thickly made eyes up at one of the popular guys who had so many muscles that his tee shirt holes were stretched to the brim. She kept dropping hints about the dance to him. Mr. Muscle didn’t seem to notice or care, but from what he gathered from the conversation, Shyanne was waiting for someone perfect to ask her to homecoming.

Cliff turned back to Noah with his grins till intact.

”Don’t worry, I got one. But I can’t tell you now!” Cliff said. Honestly he didn’t feel bad about forcing Noah to ask Shyanne. Yeah, Noah would get rejected, but that had already happened probably a million times in the past week. Only difference? This time it would be in front of the whole school and this time it would be a rejection from Shyanne. Asking her to the dance took guts.

The entire table erupted in whispers and when Noah agreed everyone began to slide Noah their grossest food object. Cliff slid his best friend the gross corn-liquid, as he took a bite of his burger.

”Bon apatite, Noah. You can’t win, I’ll let you know what my dare is.” He said, as the entire table waited with baited breath for Noah to begin consuming the gross food they’d all placed in front of him.

“Well lucky them,” Noah grumbled as he jabbed at his jell-o once more and watched it shake. It was actually kind of mesmerizing the longer her stared at it, though it definitely didn’t get any more appetizing. He could not wait until he was in college. The thought was certainly not a new one to him. There were plenty of times he daydreamed about college life. Of course Cliff would still be his roomie but Noah would also have a hot girlfriend and a brand new car. Pretty unrealistic goals, but at least his best friend would always be around.

He rose a brow as he waited to hear what Cliff had in mind for his dare if he were to lose the best. Of course Noah hated losing bets and believed he could easily handle this one, but there was always the chance of doubt. Drumming his fingers on the table he waited for his friend to choose something. He swore he saw Cliff’s eyes drift toward the popular table, but he was not certain.

When Cliff refused to tell him what the dare would be, Noah puffed out his cheeks in annoyance. How rude! It must have been pretty bad if he would not even tell him about it. Now he really needed to win this thing!

“Alright, alright, slide over all your nasty shit. Let’s make the colored guy do the gross stuff even though we enslaved his ancestors,” Noah joked as he beckoned for the table to bring forth their disgusting food. He looked down at the pile before him and gulped. Damn, the cafeteria must have been out of their minds passing some of this stuff as food. He stuck out his tongue in disgust before giving his best friend the meanest side-eye he could muster.

“Here goes nothing. Cliff if I puke then you gotta eat it!” he threatened as he pointed his spork at his friend with a snicker.

He started with his jell-o since it looked disgusting but the least threatening. Noah shoved up a spoonful before placing it in his mouth. He swallowed it without even chewing, hoping it would help. It was still impossible to place what exactly the green stuff in the middle had been. As soon as he finished the jell-o he already felt somewhat queasy. He moved on to the next thing and quickly shoveled it in his mouth, figuring the faster it would be over, the better. It did seem to help but the terrible taste hit him in waves. Noah crammed as much as he could into his mouth to speed along the process and was doing fairly well…until it came down to the corn.

As soon as the nasty liquidy corn hit his mouth it was game over. He gaged violent and clamped his hand over his mouth, determined not to throw up. Noah stared sadly down at the corn as it mocked him. There was no way he would be able to get the rest down without barfing.

Slamming his hand down on the table, he groaned. “I can’t finish that crap,” he gave up.

Cliff and the rest of the table watched in great enjoyment as Noah attempted to consume the disgusting things that the school was trying to pass off as edible and healthy food. As Noah put disgusting item after disgusting item into his mouth the table gasped and seemed impressed at appropriate times—however when Noah finally gave up, after failing to consume Cliff’s corn (a fitting food object for him to lose on, Cliff thought) the rest of the table started to laugh and waited eagerly for whatever it was that Noah would have to do due to his failure.

Fortunately, Cliff had his perfect idea all ready.

”Well, at least you tried. I don’t blame you. I wouldn’t eat that shit either.” Cliff said, making a face at the corn. He was pretty glad that Noah hadn’t puked—because had his friend puked he probably would have forced Cliff to do something even worse than Cliff had in mind for his friend.

”I dare you to ask Shyanne Volle to homecoming. Right now, in front of everyone.” Cliff said, nudging his thumb over to the pretty blonde who was sitting at the circular popular table, surrounded by upperclassmen and a few sophomores. The tables beside the popular one were the underclassmen who longed to sit at the very table they surrounded. Of course Noah would be rejected—but this incident would not only be hilarious, but it would probably spark confidence in others to start asking people! Plus, if Cliff was lucky, this incident would also cause a lot of other bottom-feeder level boys to try to ask Shyanne to the dance. And hey, if Cliff could make that bitch Shyanne miserable, he’d love himself.

The rest of the table followed Cliff’s thumb and most of them started either whispering among themselves, laughing, or exchanging words of pity for Noah. Cliff grinned as he took another bite of his burger. A few seemed impressed he could still eat after watching Noah nearly throw up eating the most disgusting food Metric had to offer.

Noah stared down at the corn in defeat. He could not believe his victory had been taken from him but just a glob this gross substance. If he would he probably would have went down forever as the King of the Cafeteria! Watching everyone at the table cheer him on had been invigorating but when their cheering turned to laughing he felt like a loser. Damn Cliff and his terrible bets! Next time he would make sure to make his friend’s bet way, way worse, although it was hard to think what would be worst that cafeteria food. Maybe he would have him eat out of the cafeteria dumpster…now that could be interesting. Whatever it was, Cliff needed to be punished for this.

He dropped his spork and silently shook his head, pushing the tray as far away from him as possible. If he even had the slightest whiff of the corn he would probably puke. Noah had a pretty high tolerance of disgusting things but that had single-handedly destroyed him. “Well, next time you’re in for something worst. I won’t forget this, Cliffo,” he assured him, reaching over to muss up Cliff’s hair.

Noah waited patiently for his dare and knew whatever it was it could not possibly be worse than what he’d just done. However, it appeared fate was not kind with him because the next words that left his friend’s mouth made his jaw drop. Shyanne Volle? Possibly the hottest girl in school, and he had to ask her out? Well, shit! He knew how this was going to end. She would stick up her perfect little nose at him and tell him to get lost while the entire cafeteria watched him get rejected. He could handle rejection just fine but not in front of so many people. At least it actually gave him reason to ask, perhaps then he would not be so invisible to the pretty blonde.

“You’re so fucking dead, Cliff,” Noah muttered under his breath as he pushed himself up and turned to face the direction of the popular kid’s table. He took a moment to observe the people around Shyanne as if they were another species. Mostly upperclassman…that was certainly something he did not want to see. It amused him how everyone at the table could be so perfect. Noah didn’t stand a chance with the amount of bulging muscle sitting just within reach of the blonde. If he got knocked out because of this, Cliff most certainly was a dead man.

Clearing he throat, he mustered up the courage to walk over to the table and slid into the spot across the table from Shyanne which was conveniently empty after a girl moved to go fix her makeup in the restroom. "Hey, Shyanne. I know this is like, super crazy and all, but I was wondering if you would to go Homecoming with me. I think we would make quite the pair,” he suggested as he flashed his most promising smile. Hell, if he was going to be rejected, he might as well do so in style.

At the nickname, Cliff just grinned wider.

”Well, I’ll keep that in mind for next time.” Cliff said, watching as his best friend got up and approached the popular area of the lunchroom. Watching Noah head over there, the rest of the cafeteria’s interest seemed to perk up and they watched as he moseyed on over towards Shyanne, who’s friend had just gone to the bathroom to check her makeup out.

Now, high school wasn’t exactly like it was in the movies, but god damn did the social hierarchy still exist. People like Cliff and Noah, well, they didn’t usually associate with that group. And the entire school seemed to know it. Cliff watched with wide, excited eyes as Noah slid into the table, excreting confidence, grinning over at Shyanne as he spoke.

The entire cafeteria seemed interested in this conversation.

Meanwhile, at the popular table, Shyanne was turned towards Mr. Muscle, a smile on her face, wondering if he had asked any girl to the dance yet. She was pretty sure he hadn’t, judging by the fact that there was no girl snapping at her from his side, and Shyanne would give anything right now to be that girl. Though Mr. Muscle was a very nice guy, and right now they were having a conversation Shyanne didn’t really care about, involving him volunteering at the animal shelter or something. All she was doing was getting lost in his eyes and twirling a strand of blonde hair around her shoulders…

When she felt someone slide in next to her. It definitely wasn’t Kathlyn, because Shyanne would have heard Kathlyn speak before she sat. Plus, turning to look at the arm on the table, it was black, when Kathlyn was totally white. Shyanne whipped around to look at Noah, her expression drawn into a ‘what the fuck’ sort of look as she looked him up and down with her nose scrunched up, not happy with what she saw.

Before Shyanne could ask why he was there or tell him to get out of Kathlyn’s seat, Noah opened his mouth and asked Shaynne a question she had not ever expected to hear from such a loser. Her jaw dropped by the time that Noah was done talking, and she blinked her green eyes at him, letting out a half sort of laugh, a laugh that literally said ‘are you fucking serious right now?’

”Hey! Isn’t that convenient, Shyanne, you were just wondering about a date. Is he your type?” Muscle asked and Shyanne felt her heart plummet in her chest. No, no, NO!! She was supposed to get this question from him, not this nameless loser! Shyanne laughed, this time girlishly.

”Well, I don’t really know you…” Shyanne said to Noah, tucking some more hair behind her ear. But she knew that she’d never live it down if she said no. Now the rest of the table was talking about the gall that Noah had to approach her. The last person Shyanne wanted to go to homecoming with was this weird guy, but if she rejected him she’d never get another chance for a date! Muscle would just assume Shyanne didn’t want to go with a stranger (she’d met him only today) and never ask, ever?! Oh god, why was life so hard as a popular girl! She wanted to reject Noah so bad! But instead, to keep a nice act, she offered Noah a charming smile. ”…but I mean, I guess I could go with you. I’m always up for a charity case.”

”That’s nice of you, Shyanne!” Muscle said, and Shyanne turned towards him with a smile even though she wanted to take the fork that came with her lunch and use it to gauge Noah’s eyes out one by one until he was a screaming, bleeding mess on the floor. But she was not going to let this freak make her look like a total bitch by having her reject him in front of the whole school.

Noah nearly winced at the sound Shyanne made after he asked her to the dance. Paired with the crazy look she shot his way he was certainly it was going to be a messy rejection. The last thing he wanted was for her to throw her food in his face or something crazy like one would see in the movies. He had crossed the line between dweeb and popular and figured he would have to pay the price. A quick glance around assured him nearly every set of eyes was watching the scene unfold. Shit, he would never live this down. Damn Cliff, damn him to hell!

His gaze moved to the muscular guy sitting beside the blonde when he made a comment about her looking for a dance to homecoming. Now that guy was definitely the type he expected Shyanne to go to Homecoming with. She was a beautiful blonde goddess and that guy was the type of muscular Neanderthal that attracted her type. When he asked if he was her type, Noah put his hands on his knees and clutched them tightly. Of course he wasn’t her type! He was a no body and she was everything.

He was rather confused when the first thing out of her mouth was that she didn’t know him. Noah certainly had not been expecting that. He thought she would start with something like ‘Ew, get out of my face, creep’ or something along those lines. What was holding her back from unleashing hell on him? He’d heard rumors about how bitchy she could be. Perhaps his charm was actually starting to work! Lord, please let it be true.

“Yeah, I understand, sorry for wasting your--,” Noah said as she started to get up but then stopped himself when he finally registered what she had said to him. His eyes widened as he slowly lowered himself back into the seat. “You will?!” he inquired, completely ignoring the part about being a charity case. None of that even mattered if he actually got to go to Homecoming with Shyanne Volle of all people! He was certain this thing would just end up a big mess, but now he could practically kiss Cliff he was so happy!

He quickly searched for a piece of paper and ended up snatch one of the popular kid’s napkins. Noah pulled out a sharpie from his pocket which he typically used to doodle stuff on his arms during class. Quickly, he scribbled down his number before sliding it over the table to Shyanne. “Text me and we can iron out all the deats like what color you plan on wearing so I can match,” Noah smiled, feeling as if he were on top of the world.

Shit, that meant he would have to really start saving up! He couldn’t take Shyanne to Homecoming on his bike, that would just look pathetic. A girl like her needed to be treated like a Queen!

”Mmhm, sure!” Shyanne said in a very high, feminine voice, when in reality all she wanted to do was scream at him OF COURSE NOT, LOSER and throw her tray onto the top of his head. Ugh, God, look at the way his face positively lit up when she accepted him! While many, including most of the people who were sitting at the table she was at, thought it was cute it just made Shyanne so angry. She was not some pity prize for the biggest loser to win when he got the courage up to ask her out!

Shyanne made a face at the smell of the sharpie before she looked down at the number. Oh, the shame of being the one to text first was excruciating. As though she had it bad enough, here-- but she supposed this was better. If she gave him her number on a slip of paper, he might show it to all his friends, and they might get the smart idea to send Shyanne texts of their own. Oh God she wanted to reverse time and leave the cafeteria with Kathlyn just so that she avoided this fiasco. Maybe then this loser would have asked Elizabeth, who was also pinning for a date. And great—because Shyanne now had this loser to go with, Elizabeth was going to start going after the guy Shyanne had been trying to court all day! UGH! This could not get any worse!

Shyanne flipped her hair behind her shoulder and forced another smile in Noah’s direction.

”Well I’ll answer that for you right now. I’m wearing a pink dress. I’ll send you a picture of the shade—and you’d better match, like, there is nothing more embarrassing than showing up to homecoming with a mismatched… partner.” Shyanne said, hell, she already had her dress picked out and everything! She had her date picked out too, until literally right now. Ugh.

She struggled over saying the word date to Noah, definitely not wanting to call this that. She’d take this nerd to homecoming, but was by no stretch ever considering it a date.

Noah’s face lit up when Shyanne confirmed she had indeed agreed and he was not dreaming. Shit! He felt like the luckiest guy on Earth. A date to the Homecoming dance with Shyanne Volle, it was only what every high school at Metric dreamed of. He could not wait to rub this in Cliff’s face! Here his best friend sent him over here to get humiliated and it had completely backfired. Now not only did Noah have a date but he could rub it in Cliff’s face that he did not have a date. This was too perfect. He could live the rest of his life in this moment. It was truly perfect.

He smiled over at the blonde and tried to keep himself from turning to a pile of mush when she smiled at him. Forced smile or not, he could not tell the difference in the euphoric state he was now in. Noah wrinkled his nose slightly when she explained she was wearing pink to Homecoming, he should have figured as much. Pink was one of his least favorite colors but he would certainly wear it just for Shyanne. Maybe after this they would even start dating! Yeah, the odds were incredibly stacked against him, but a dude could dream!

“Awesome, I’ll make sure everything is perfect for you, Shyanne. I’ll talk to ya later,” he replied before winking at her. Feeling like the flyest guy in school, he slid out of the chair just as Shyanne’s friend returned.

Aware most eyes were on him, he gave a triumphant double fist pump into the air and received a cheer from the audience. He casually made his way back to his seat before plopping down next to Cliff with a huge grin on his face. “Did you see that shit, man?! God, I love you, dude! I never would have had the balls to ask her if it wasn’t for you!” Noah replied as he pulled his friend in and kissed the side of his head before ruffling his hair.

”Mmmmmmhm.” Shyanne said in response to Noah as he left, his wink sending a feeling of despair into her stomach Oh God, what had she agreed to? Now this guy thought that he was the smoothest Casanova around! She turned away from him as he left and Kathlyn came back, and Shyanne whipped out her phone from her purse and angrily sent a text to Kathlyn, saying how she couldn’t BELIEVE she had the nerve to leave her seat open for the 5 minutes it took for Noah to ask her to the dance and for Muscle to think that Shyanne was so desperate for a date she’d settle for that loser! Ugh! She didn’t even know his name!

Though on the surface she smiled at Kathlyn and acted like nothing was wrong—and her friend did the same—because they didn’t want it to look like Shyanne was an even bigger bitch than the rumors said she was. Shyanne glanced over at Noah only to see him going over towards another weirdo, kissing the guy’s head. Ugh! Was he gay now, too?! Even better! Shyanne turned around with her nose in the air. How on earth was she supposed to deal with this?!

-

Meanwhile Cliff along with the rest of the table was watching with widened, shocked eyes as Shyanne didn’t publically humiliate Shyanne. What was meant as a joke quickly turned into something else entirely. Cliff’s mouth was hanging open as Noah ran over and smooched his head and Cliff laughed as his messy hair was ruffled, sparing another look at Shyanne. She was watching the display with an angry expression and Cliff decided in this moment Shyanne was being more lenient than usual and winked at the bitch just to piss her off more—a gesture which he assumed made Shyanne so angry that she just whipped her head around with her button nose up in the air, as she started to talk to her friends again about something—probably about what had just happened.

”Careful Noah, Shyanne might get jealous.” Cliff teased, ”I can’t believe she said yes. No offense, man, but I was expecting to see you eat shit up there.”

The look of disbelief on his best friend’s face made everything so much better. He felt like a king at their lunch table now. Noah gave out a few high fives to the people around him, his cocky smirk intact the entire time. Nothing could dampen his day now, not even the helping of nasty food currently in his stomach. He was going to take Shyanne Volle to Homecoming! Him, taking one of the most popular girls in school to Homecoming. She must have saw something in him if she agreed, right? Certainly a million other people had to have asked her by now, yet she said yes to him!

At Cliff’s comment about Shyanne getting jealous, he laughed. “Shit, she’s got no need to be jealous, she’ll get plenty of these lips at Homecoming,” Noah commented with a smirk as he jabbed his friend in the side with his elbow. He glanced back over at the popular table where the blonde was not conversing with her friends, no doubt about the handsome young man who’d just asked her to be his date. Oh yeah, she totally dug him.

“Too bad your shit backfired so bad!” Noah responded, “That’s what you fuckin’ get too, man. Trying to send me up there to get humiliated, and now I’m the luckiest man in school.” He snickered to himself, still riding the swell of excitement before a thought struck him. If he was going to go with Shyanne then who would Cliff go with? He could not just leave his best friend alone, that would make him look pathetic. Well, more pathetic than they usually looked when they attended dances stag together.

“What about you, dude? Are you going to ask anyone?” he inquired.

”Damn, I’m sure Shyanne will love to hear that.” Cliff said, making an ‘offt’ sound when Noah jammed him in the elbow. It didn’t really hurt, but Cliff liked to play along that it did. He returned the gesture to Noah, elbowing him in the side, watching as Noah’s face lit up when he glanced over at the popular table. As much as he was happy Noah actually got a date, he couldn’t believe that Shyanne was doing this out of the kindness of her heart. This was probably not going to end well for Noah—though the prank Cliff had intended was only for a small embarrassment. Not necessarily get-your-hopes-up and then crash-and-burn level embarrassment. ”It did. I did not think you had a chance with Shyanne. No offense. Hey! Maybe she wants to be our friend now. Maybe tomorrow we should try to sit with her.”

He was only joking—surely if they tried to sit with Shyanne she’d draw the line or just move tables, taking the popular crowd along with her. When Noah asked if he had any plans to ask someone, Cliff blinked. Then shook his head.

”Nope. I’m not a fan of dancing anyway.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. ”But I will go to make sure Shyanne doesn’t stand you up! “

“Of course she would! I mean, these lips have pleased the mouths of many girls,” Noah replied even though he was very much over-selling it. He kissed about three girls tops, but Cliff did not have to know that. For all his best friend knew Noah could have been a regular Casanova at his old school. It certainly was not too far from the truth…well, maybe. He groaned quietly when his friend returned the jab to his side before smirking. Nothing could ruin his day now, not even when Cliff reminded him he could be stood up.

Noah laughed. “Well, then the jokes on you then, isn’t it? And not I have a date with the most popular girl in school,” he grinned as she placed his hands behind his head. When Cliff suggested sitting with her and her friends tomorrow he shrugged his shoulders. He certainly did not want to press his luck or come off as desperate. Besides, he found some of the popular kids at the table rather intimidating. “Maybe,” he finally answered.

When Cliff told him he would not be asking anyone to Homecoming Noah snorted. “Aw, come on, man! I can show you a few moves,” he replied as she swayed his shoulders back and forth as if to prove a point, “Shit, I ain’t gettin’ stood up.”

Cliff nodded along to Noah’s pride at having satisfied many girls, not know any of these girls personally, but agreeing to take Noah’s word for it.

”I guess, I did eat my words.” Cliff said, though to him having a date with Shyanne didn’t seem like a privilege. It sounded like an utterly miserable time. But then again he supposed it was good that he and Noah had differing preferences when it came to romance partners. It would be really annoying if they started to like the same girl, after all. Cliff wasn’t the type to let some romance come between him and his best friend. Though if Noah wanted to pin after Shyanne he was more than welcome to. Though she didn’t deserve someone as great as Noah, anyway. ”She’s not really my type though, so don’t worry about me being jealous.”

Noah didn’t seem too keen on sitting at the popular table but Cliff wasn’t that eager either—he mostly meant it as a joke, so he shrugged in response to Noah’s maybe. Besides, he had a feeling Shyanne would be immediately put off by the gross way he and Noah liked to exchange and consume the grossest parts of their food.

”Thanks for the offer, but I think I’ll be fine hugging the wall.” Cliff laughed, ”Sure, you’re not getting stood up. Shyanne would never do that to you. Maybe you’re her one true love, Noah.”

Noah nodded in agreement when Cliff admitted to eating his words. Which reminded him, he would have to think of something terrible for his best friend to eat as payback. Even though the dare ended up working in his favor, he still needed to get revenge after having to eat all that nasty shit. He was actually surprised Shyanne had not smelled it on his breath and completely rejected him. When his best friend admitted the blonde was not his type, his mouth fell open.

“You are saying that utter perfection is not your type? She’s an angel, Cliff…a goddess even! How can you sit here and say she is not your type?!” he explained as he gave his friend a strange look before shaking his head. Oh well, at least he would not have to worry about him being jealous or trying to steal his date. “So what is your type then?” Noah inquired curiously. If he was not into the wonder that was Shyanne Volle than what kind of girl did he go for?

“Dude, you are not going to hug the wall. I won’t allow it! You are going to have your hands over some pretty young thang. I’ll make sure of it!” Noah stated before a goofy grin spread across his face when Cliff suggested he could be Shyanne’s one true love. “God damn, only in my wildest dreams! But, you never know! Although you know what they say, once you go black you never go back!” he snickered.

When Noah seemed aghast that Cliff did not go after girls like Shyanne, Cliff nodded along with his words, the urge to laugh at the descriptions of the girl that Noah gave him growing. An angel? Yeah, okay, maybe a fallen angel. You know. The demonic kind. But he didn’t really want to crush Noah’s fantasies about her, not when his buddy had just landed a date with her.

”Yeah, you keep believing that, Noah.” Cliff said, his tone disbelieving. But when he asked what Cliff’s type was, Cliff furrowed his brow. Did he have one? Well, he really liked Sasha from Attack on Titan, but she was an anime character, not really a person. There were a few girls Cliff had seen around school that he thought were pretty, yes, but he wouldn’t really say he felt anything serious about any of them. Just more of a casual, admire from a distance, that they were kind of attractive.

When Noah said he wasn’t going to allow Cliff to be single at the dance he nodded, though he wasn’t sure how Noah planned to combat this. Was he going to ask out girls on his behalf, now?

”Well thanks for the concern. And I don’t know if I have a type. Someone who’s not a bit—a shallow person?” Cliff stopped himself before he further insulted Shyanne in front of Noah, but then at Noah’s last comments Cliff doubled over in laughter, elbowing Noah in the side again.

”You’re not wrong! I wonder if Shyanne thinks that way,” Cliff said.

Noah rolled his eyes dramatically when Cliff continued to try to kill his dreams of how wonderful Shyanne was. The rumors did not bother him, he refused such a beautiful creature could be as bitchy as people said. Besides, had she not agreed to go to Homecoming with him? That was certainly not something a mean-spirited person would do. If she were really as bad as they say, she would have rejected him in front of the entire cafeteria and left him retreating like a dog with its tail between its legs. So Cliff could try and persuade him all he wanted, but Noah would not believe him.

“I will keep believing that, and when you see Shyanne and me dancing at Homecoming you’ll be the one eating your own words, pal,” Noah assured him with a small nod. He waited patiently for Cliff to describe the type of girl he went for. Come to think of it, he never saw his best friend talk to many girls or show a particular interest in one. Damn, he really needed to teach him how to have game (even if he had none of his own to speak of).

He sighed and silently shook his head when Cliff explained to him that he did not have a type. “Come on, man! Everyone has a type,” Noah assured him, “You just gotta pay attention to what’s in your pants and what gets it goin’.” It was quite a crude way of saying it, but the truth nonetheless. It was a guy’s penis that really had control over what they liked about a girl.

Noah chuckled. “Well, she’ll certainly find out. Once she gets a taste of the Noah, she’ll be back for more!”

Cliff shrugged. Well, Shyanne’s personality was something Noah could deal with on his own. It would be pretty entertaining to see Shyanne deal with Noah… he wondered if maybe she had a soft spot for nerds. Or maybe Noah really was her type. He glanced over at Shyanne, who looked sunken in her chair and like she was trying to force herself to be happy when she really wasn’t.

Nope. He took it back. Shyanne was just using Noah for the groveling, or something.

”You have fun dancing with that.” Cliff said, though what Noah told him pretty bluntly to let his penis do the talking Cliff snorted, shoving against Noah gently.

”You’re gross. But not wrong. Maybe it’ll become a compass and just point me in the direction of my true love.” Cliff joked. When Noah said Shyanne wouldn’t be able to resist him Cliff nodded in agreement, just deciding to go with whatever he said. ”Well, if anyone can get Shyanne to come around, it’s you.”

Noah followed Cliff’s gaze over to Shyanne’s table when he caught his eyes drifting in her direction. He shrugged before looking back down at his tray in front of him which made his stomach churn when he remembered all he’d eaten. At least his success with the bet had made eating all that nasty shit worth it. If she had said no to him it would have doubly sucked, then Cliff really would be in trouble! However, he really had to reason to complain now when he finally had a date to Homecoming after weeks of asking girls.

“Oh, I most certainly will, my friend! I mean, she’s a cheerleader, so she’d gotta have some nice moves right? And I bet she’s super flexible,” Noah replied before winking at his friend. Not that flexibility would really matter because, even though he liked to pretend he was a lady’s man, he really had no clue about what to do in the bedroom. Shit! Was Shyanne the type of girl that would put out? What if he had to turn him down? Of course he was not in the right state of mind because there was no way a girl like her would even think about sleeping with a nobody like him.

Noah doubled over with laughter when Cliff suggested his penis would point him in the direction of his true love. He smacked his friend on the back affectionately before wiping the corner of his eye as if he’d been crying. “God damn, Cliff, you crack me up. Well, for your sake you better hope that’s the case,” he replied before grinning at his final comment. Damn right! He would just have to lay his charm extra heavy on Shyanne and show her what she’d been missing out on.

As his eyes returned to the tray in front of him, he refrained from dry heaving when he made contact with the nasty corn. He immediately grabbed both his and Cliff’s trays and walked them to the trash can before dumping the contents and stacking the trays where they belonged. Noah slipped back into his seat just as the bell ending lunch rang.

“Thanks again, man!” Noah thanked, holding his fist out for a fist bump with Cliff.

Noah’s comments about Shyanne’s flexibility, though Cliff could see the merit in them, didn’t change his opinion. He had a hard time believing that Shyanne would go that far with his buddy anyway, but hey, who knew. Noah might come telling him various stories of too-much-information level detail after the events at homecoming took place. Who knew, right? He took his tray up when Noah did to dump the gross remains of his lunch into the trash can.

After he and Noah laughed about the comments equating genetalia to navigation devices, Cliff heard the bell ring and the entire cafeteria erupted out of their seats and started to migrate out of the cafeteria. Shyanne, flanked by her buddies and arm and arm with Kathlyn, exited the lunchroom very quickly before Noah or Cliff got a chance to make eye contact or (the reason Shyanne left so early) attempt to talk to her. Muscle and Elizabeth were talking, and it looked like Muscle would be taking Elizabeth to homecoming. Shyanne was in a very, very bad mood. They didn’t pick up their trays, but dumped them instead onto a few people who’d been hanging off the edge of the table. Those people took all of their trays to the trashcan and then to the designated tray area.

Cliff returned the fist-bump that Noah offered.

”Anytime, dude.” He said, exiting the cafeteria, heading to class.
