Be Anon. Sitting on a bench in everfree park.
Your buddy Norman told you someone wanted to talk to you after school. Bro didn't even specify who, just where to meet em. Hope it ain't a teacher, you're positive you did MOST of your assignments.
"Hello."
Jumping, you turn to see an unfamiliar female standing next to you. Suppressing a bitch tier scream you respond coolly.
>"H-Hi."
She sits next to you on the bench looking you directly in the eyes, her face expressionless. Is this chick the one who wanted t-
"Thank you for coming."
Cool. She is. But now you're just wondering why?
>"Norman said it was important. Not to be rude but do I know you?"
Her eyes are still glued to you as she replies.
"No, we never met."
>"Ok... Sooo, what's up?"
"I wish to be friends. Is that ok with you?"
Chick is as blunt as a rock. How do you even respond to that? This has to be a prank. Right?
>"Really? We don't even know each other."
"I know you. Anon E. Mous: sophomore, average grades, likes beef bowls, pets stray cats, has one friend, a tendency to rub his wrist when stressed, only drinks soda with a straw-"
>"Are you a stalker?"
"No. I just notice things like that when you're around me, it's part of the reason I asked you to come here."
She looks away and begins fidgeting her hands. Looking at them you can barley make out a small grey object through her fingers, she continues.
"The day I noticed you in the halls, something 'clicked in the noodle' as my sister would say. I ignored it but whenever I happened to cross your path I would be struck with curiosity about you."
Clutching her hands she looks you in the eyes again. You should feel uncomfortable but you can't help but listen.
"I started memorizing things you would do when you happened to be around me, and have nights where I couldn't keep you out of my mind. It made no sense. I've talked it over with my sister and she said to be your 'BBBFF'. I then asked Norman to tell you to come here so that I may tell you all of this."
So she has an autistic fascination with you? How? On one hand it's flattering to be noticed but good god is this weird.
>"So you just want to be friends?"
"Yes."
This screams red flag. You should say no and run, but your "nice guy" side gets the better of you.
>"Alright, fine. We can be friends."
A small smile graces her face.
"My name is Maud Pie, thank you for being my first friend."
Jesus Christ this is a BAD idea. Now you got some autistic chick attached to you. Fucking hell Norman. This is his fault now.
>"I better head home, pretty sure mom is wondering where I am."
Standing up you stretch out.
"Of course. I will see you tomorrow Anon."
Nodding you start walking home, hope the weekend comes soon. Fishing out your phone you check the date. Monday.
>"Fuck."


Be pissed Anon, having a lovely walk to school with your bro.
"How was I supposed to know she's a freak?"
>"You serious?! The moment I saw her I knew something was wrong, how come you didn't notice?"
Norman rubs his face, it was to early for this but god help me this talk had to happen NOW. 
"Look man I'm sorry, but maybe this can be a good thing? A girl is into you, that's pretty cool."
>"God dammit Norm..."
"She probably means well! If it dosen't work out just let her off easy after the first date."
>"I'm not gonna into her!"
Norman stops walking and goes pale.
"Speak of the devil."
You look towards what he's looking at and freeze up. It's her. She's leaning against the statue in front of the school.
"See ya at lunch."
And just like that he jets to the Vestibule. Bro can run fast I'll give him that but fuck you Norman.
"Good morning Anon."
Should've ran after him. 
>"Mornin Maud."
Looking back you see maud right behind you holding up a small bag.
"My sister made it this morning, I asked her to make some for you too."
>"Food?"
You did skimp out on breakfast to chew out Norm, but you're worried about what it could be. Taking the bag you open it and are assaulted by a luxurious heavenly aroma of cinnamon, inside sits four small bricks of bread covered in swirls and crumbly looking bits.
"It's Coffee Cake."
No way, she really got this made for you? Why do you feel like a jackass right now? That bad feel aside, it's probably best to give it back but you're kinda hungry now with that sweet ass smell hitting your face. Time to compromise!
>"This looks amazing, but it feels wrong to take the whole bag. Let's split it."
"But it's for you."
>"Nope, food like this must be shared."
Pulling out your phone you check the time. Still got twenty minutes. You walk over to the statue and sit against it.
>"Come over, let's knock these out before class starts!"
She hesitates but goes over and sits next to you, reaching into the bag and grabbing a piece with you following in kind and taking a bite. GOOD GOD~!
"Do you like it?"
>"This is the best Coffee Cake I ever had! You're lucky to have a sister who can bake like this!"
Despite her plain expression the smallest hint of pink graces her face.
"She means alot to me so yes, I am."
The two of you sit in silence eatin bangin pastries, despite not talking it was kinda cool just sitting here with her. Maybe Norm was right, despite her strange demeanor she's pretty chill. 
"This is nice."
>"Yeah. Not bad for our first time hanging out?"
She stops mid bite and stares off into the small crowd of students, then slowly looks you in the eyes with that small smile she made yesterday.
"Yes, our first activity as friends went quite well."
A loud ringing causes the both of you to snap out of the moment. Time for Science.
>"Damn, time to roll out. See ya later."
You dust off and begin walking to class but stop when you feel a poke against your back.
"Let's walk in together, our classes are next to each other."
She did give you some bomb ass bread, why not?
>"Sure."
With Maud in tow the two of you enter the school. Guess the week won't be THAT bad.


"Good afternoon Mrs. Mous."
Mom could only stare as you walk into your house with a girl beside you. Better fix this.
>"She's JUST a friend I made a few days ago mom."
"It's not that Anon, I'm just surprised you even made another friend with your crappy attitude."
Jesus mom... She walks over to us and greets Maud with a smile.
"I hope Anon isn't causing problems, and if he does you have my full permission to slap some sense into him."
MOM WHY
"Why would I hurt him? He's been quite nice to me these last five days. For example, on Thursday he treated me to lunch at Wendy's as well as desert after. He also gave me the unwrapped spoon for his frosty when I accidentally dropped mine while walking back home together."
MAUD WHY
>"We'regoingtomyroomnowmomlet'sgoMaud!"
You grab her wrist and quickly drag her into your room, slamming the door and locking it. You place your head against the door and sigh, god dammit. Maud really wanted to show you something but for some reason wanted to do it at your house. Just why?
"That was rude Anon."
>"Sorry Maud..."
"I accept your apology, but you must apologize to your mother as well."
Son of a- you quickly unlock and open the door.
>"SORRY MOM!!"
Slam, lock, done.
>"There, now what did you want to show me?
Looking back you see Maud is at your box shelf looking intently at the decorative rocks mom bought you.
"I like the amethyst geode, the position you have it in is perfect for avoiding light."
>"Really? Is light bad for it?"
"Yes, overexposure to strong light and or heat will make its natural colors fade. This spot it is in is perfect, cool and dark."
She gives the gem a pat and moves over to your bed and takes a seat.
