✨ A quick Reylo text fic by yours truly ✨
🆒This is pure crack. Most of the posts are made via manipulation by me so I’m sorry if they’re ugly! 😭

🆒I plan to get this out tonight and it be finished tomorrow. I’m gonna work on my other text fics in the meantime but I thought this would be a fun way to get back into it~

📵Time stamps don’t matter unless I say they do

📵This probably won’t be 100% accurate to the time it takes place but here’s to hoping it works!
By day: Rey and Ben.
By night: Scavengergrl89 and KyloRen.
All other characters will be introduced as they appear!
1️⃣ start of the new school year at Alderaan Prep. Circa Sept. 2006.

Rey.
2️⃣ Ben.
3️⃣ Rey.
4️⃣ Ben.
5️⃣ Rey.
6️⃣ Ben.
7️⃣ Rey.
8️⃣ Ben.
9️⃣ Ben. (Again)
🔟 Rey. (I believe she means 🙄)
1️⃣1️⃣ Ben. (*Sighs in vaporwave*)
1️⃣2️⃣ Ben pulls out his revolving gamer chair from his desk, sits down, powers up is glossy blue iMac G3, and logs into his Instant Messaging account. Cause the internet ALWAYS holds the answers he needs.
1️⃣3️⃣ one day a frog will drink tea in your honor, Ben. Shady Boi
1️⃣4️⃣ KyloRen and Scavengergrl89 <,3
1️⃣6️⃣ Rey’s Messanger username is Scavengergrl89. Everyone knows it’s Rey, though. Except for Ben.
Once she and Kylo finish their chat, she’s about to log off her Dell PC for the night but then the chirpy beep of a new IM stops her. It’s her only other friend besides kylo— Finn!
1️⃣7️⃣ prehistoric call out.
1️⃣9️⃣ meanwhile, before Ben logs off for the night, he decides to do one last thing.
Of course, he reasons, it’s whatever. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s cool. He’s cool. No biggie. And if she doesn’t accept it... well, that’s fine too. She’s wateva.
2️⃣0️⃣ ... just like it totally means nothing that she accepted it. Cause as far as Rey’s concerned, he’s wateva 2.
2️⃣1️⃣ Monday. 6th period Speech and Debate with Professor Holdo.

Rey stares at the back of Ben’s big (beautiful) head. He’s snuck a few glances back during the period, but maybe he was just checking the clock. He’s dumb so he probably doesn’t even know what’s going on in class.
She wonders if she should say anything about him randomly adding her on Facebook. It doesn’t matter or anything, she’s just... curious. That’s all.
She’s never passed a note in class before... but she’s no pris. She’s cool. A punk, even. Hardcore. It’s fine to break the rules...
Sometimes.
2️⃣2️⃣ she cant see it, but a bead of sweat trickles down his forehead as his big hands carefully undo the folded scrap paper. He swallows, half nervous half pleased that she acknowledged his FR. He doesn’t know what to say. So he tries to play it cool. He passes it back to her.
2️⃣3️⃣ Rey blinks. Maybe he did it on accident... or maybe she’s reading too much into it. She hates how cool and aloof he is about everything. She secretly wishes she had confidence like him. Maybe then he’d really notice her.
So she tries to be cool back.
2️⃣4️⃣ little does she know, Ben feels like he’s the least cool, lamest guy In the world. He can’t believe Rey is actually talking to him. She only talks to him when they debate, and she’s practically biting his head off when that’s happening.

This is all he could come up with.
2️⃣5️⃣ just for good measure, of course. Wouldn’t want Ben thinking they’re ACTUAL friends or anything.
2️⃣6️⃣ and he naturally feels the same.
2️⃣7️⃣ Rey consults her trusty diary after a loopy day. She keeps thinking of Ben... for some reason.
2️⃣8️⃣ CW: bullying, gossiping, jealousy, teenage mean girl vibes in general

That evening, Ben gets a text. From a girl. But not the girl he was (secretly) hoping it’d be...
2️⃣8️⃣ Ben. A Mean Boi with a soft side... not that his soft side is any of bazine’s “biz” either.

Ben keeps a lot of things to himself... including his real reasons for adding Rey. He’s not quite sure why he did it either... not that anyone needs to know that.
3️⃣0️⃣ Poe messages Ben.
3️⃣1️⃣ what song do you think Kylo sent? There IS a right answer here

(Context note: he’ll be introduced later but Hux is a mutual friend scavenger and kylo have on MySpace 👀)
3️⃣2️⃣ omg
3️⃣3️⃣ POV SWITCH

Rey’s POV
3️⃣4️⃣ so angsty, Rey 🐡
3️⃣5️⃣ POV SWITCH

Bens POV. I wonder who he’ll dream of tonight 👀
3️⃣6️⃣ CW: neglect, bad parenting, abandonment issues

Ben.
Visual: this is what Ben was actually thinking of.

Yep. Not Rey at all
3️⃣7️⃣ Ben just needs help in class.
3️⃣8️⃣ and Rey just happens to take better notes than he does.
3️⃣9️⃣ He’s just trying to get a good education, guys.

(In case this crop is wack he wrote “ok thnx do you remember the definitions of them?”)
4️⃣0️⃣ And so is Rey, which is why she smells a rat immediately.
4️⃣1️⃣ so thoughtful.
4️⃣3️⃣ sick burn, Benjamin
4️⃣4️⃣ Professor Holdo is onto to you two, Benjamin and Rey-jamin
