Thinking About Andre Going To College If Zero Day Never Happened.

thinking about andre going to college if zero day never happened.

we all know he got into the engineering school at the university of connecticut. he has a room by himself because his scholarships paid for most of it. he’d have so many eight am classes that he’d complain about nonstop. he’s still close to home, so he’s able to spend a couple nights there if he’s had a rough week or needs to do laundry.

cal ended up going to a community college near their highschool, causing him to still live at home. he basically stays with andre every night, though. they cuddle up together on the twin bed that’s about five feet from the ground and argue that they don’t have enough space. they’ve both fallen off the bed multiple times.

he’s on the school’s track team—long distance, of course. basically all he does is wake up, go to class, go to practice, and do homework, but it’s okay with him. he’s always liked routine. plus, he more than likely has cal waiting at the dorm for him every night. they watch a movie or two before heading to sleep.

it’s a good life. it’s a life andre could have had.

How do you think cal and Andre started the whole, “ I want to 🔫🏫”

okay so i genuinely think cal mentioned it first but as a joke. (this is a tiny bit of how i think it happened, i already have a plan for a fic about this lmao)

it was after a really bad day of bullying. cal’s nose was broken, and andre’s knuckles were scabbed over. they had just returned home from school and are sitting on cal’s bed with bags of ice against their faces, hands, and sides.

they’d gotten to a point of joking about their bullying. well… cal had. andre still gets angry. now, andre is clenching his teeth and seething, thinking of ways he can get back at his bullies.

cal can read him easily; he knows exactly what’s going on in andre’s mind. he giggles after staring at andre for a minute.

“what’s so fucking funny, cal?”

“you still want to fight them?” cal asks between wheezes. “what? you wanna shoot them?”

something switches in andre’s mind. yes. he does want to shoot them. once again, cal knows exactly what andre’s thinking.

“andre, what the fuck? are you serious?”

andre turns toward him quickly, staring straight into his eyes. “you don’t want to?”

cal thinks for a moment. it makes complete sense. they all deserve it. he pictures brad huff staring at him but this time he’s scared instead of angry. he imagines the glint of fear that will be in brad’s eyes when he looks at him.

the boys fall silent. the plan zero day has begun, though it’s only in its first stage. cal hadn’t known that his day would go this way, but he’s not mad about it. they’re going to get back at their peers.

Why are you so insecure? Your stuff is great 👍 😊
