Chapter Text
Dev walks into class and sits at his desk, peri and irep as badges on his hoodie. Dev noticed a large monitor was in front of the room, that was new.
Mr Guzman walks up in front of the class to turn on the monitor. “Alright class, you know about the up coming test? Well, we’re going to have a study day today so get out your Crome books, we’re doing a kahoot.” The class celebrated and scattered for their computers. Dev gets his out and gets on the page.
“The school got these new monitors to help better at educating you kids.” Oh wow, dev thought that was just a giant tv. A notification showed up on the monitor. “Hazel, would you hit accept on that?” Mr Guzman asks, hazel nods and walks up to the screen and hits accept to set the cast. The screen showed the code to the lobby.
Dev looks up to the screen to check the code, he squinted at the code to see if that was a Q or a 9 in the code.
“Ok, we just need a couple more people left” mr Guzman checked the board, names started to pop up. “Who is “the_alpha_rizzler?” He asked. “Is that anything inappropriate?”
Dev chuckled as he saw his name on the board. “You know, I thought you’d be better than that dev.” Peri commented with disappointment. More names showed up before the game started.
“First question: where did pop culture first originate from?” Mr Guzman reads out the question. Dev looks at the options on his computer, good thing the questions were so close to him. Dev clicked on the colored box and the screen flashed green.
“Yes” dev whispered in victory, he was now in 5th place. “I’m on the podium!” He waited for the next question.
Mr. Guzman said the question to the class and dev was prepared to answer.
“Struggling? I can help if you wanted.” Irep suggested.
“You’re not helping him cheat.” Peri interrupted.
“I didn’t say I was.” Irep states.
“I know you.” Peri hissed
“You always assume the worse with me, don’t you.” Irep asks.
“That’s because you are” peri states, “you literally are the worst in every way.”
Dev tried thinking of an answer but peri and ireps bickering were too loud for him to think. “Would you two stop it with your arguing, I can’t focus cus of you guys.” The timer ran out and dev’s screen flashed red. “No no no no no no” dev got more frustrated. He looked up as the placements changed. He couldn’t make out the name for sure but someone by the name “hazel_wellz” took his spot.
“Dev listen to me-“ peri says before being interrupted
“No, listen to me, I’m the smart one.” Irep says.
Their bickering and squabbling were making dev twitch and clench his fists tight, his angry growing more and more. “Ugh, I wished you two would just zip your lips already!” Dev commanded.
Irep and peri stopped as they heard dev, they side glanced eachother before they lifted their wands, their lips turning into zippers and zipped closed.
Finally. Quiet at last.
He looked at his screen to see the questions. What did mr.Guzman say the question was again? He started panicking a bit, so he pressed a random button and to his surprise, his screen lit up green. He continued this routine of listening to mr.Guzman and answering as he went.
Dev ended up at second place, with hazel in first.
“Oh ya, that’s what I’m talking about.” Hazel celebrated, dev rolled his eyes.
“Hey, second place isn’t that bad.” Peri comforted, “you did a really great job.”
“Well, my dad says second place is first place for losers.” Dev states. “And the Dimmadomes are not losers. I would’ve gotten first place you two weren’t arguing.”
“We weren’t arguing dev, it was just…a friendly disagreement.” Peri says.
“The two of you act like toddlers.” Dev remarks
“Right, we’re sorry dev, we’ll try to find some common ground, sound good?” Peri asks.
“I hope so.” Dev states with a gravel in his voice.
…
After class was over, dev got his stuff and walked out, but accidentally hits his head on the doorframe.
“You ok dev?” Peri asks
“I’m fine.” Dev remarks, rubbing the bruise on his forehead, “guess I should pay attention more when walking huh.”
He walks out of the classroom
