Derillo Highschool Story

Chapter Three

I was in art class, which was sixth period, and drawing a skull with red roses. I was working on the shading when the teacher called for Jorel to go to the principal's office saying, he was needed. I looked at Jay as he walked out. I noticed a few girls rolling their eyes when the teacher said that and some guys laugh. I glared at them, especially the girls. They treat him like he's theirs but he's not. I rolled my eyes at them. I continued on with the drawing as the girls started chatting about Jay. I decided to listen to music to block them out. I put it loud enough to drown them out but also loud enough for no one to hear it.

A few minutes passed and Jorel came back with an annoyed expression all over his face. I rose a brow at him, curious on what happened. He walked over to his table and sat down, going back to what he was doing as did I. I finished the sketch when the bell rung for us to go to the next class. I stood, putting my sketchbook in my bag and walked out. I accidently bumped into Jorel causing one of the girls to get all offended and defensive of him. "Hey back up, don't touch him" she scowled. I saw Jorel roll his eyes before walking in our class. I groaned, walking in behind him and sitting at my table with Matty and Ronnie. I smiled when I saw Matt sit down with us. Ronnie smiled too, so I guess he just has a problem with Jay. Okay then.

We started talking about whatever came to mind, whether it was about music or something we saw out of school that either weirded us out or we found funny. Matty and Ronnie were getting along pretty well with Matt. I started working on our assignment that was just handed to me. It was kinda hard to be honest but it was easier when Matty decided to help, noticing my frustration. I finished with his help just in time too, since the bell went off as soon I answered the final question. I walked out with him and Ronnie after turning in the paper. "Hey wanna go to the park?" Jordan asked, meeting up with us outside. Along with the others, as in George, Dylan, Nate, and Cody. I smiled at the new couple, seeing them looking so happy made me happy.

We nodded and went to the park. We were hanging out until I heard Ronnie growl and storm off somewhere. I looked in the direction he walked off and saw Jorel and his friends. I sighed, knowing what was about to happen. I walked after him but was too late as they started arguing. I grabbed Ronnie's arm trying to pull him away. He jerked his arm away shoving me a bit. My eyes widened as they started to fight. I went to separate them but I was pulled away before I could. I turned and saw Nate. "Don't dude, I'm not letting you get hurt in the process" he said, letting go. I turned back and saw Matt and Brian dragging them away from each other. "Just admit it! You only want him for his looks!" Ronnie yelled, glaring. I rose a brow. Him? "Oh, and you don't?! Fuck you dude!" Jorel yelled, glaring back. Who the fuck are they talking about? "Guys just stop fighting please, it's so fucking aggtavating" I said, snuggling close to Nate since he still had his arms around me. But to be honest, it scared me seeing them fight and argue like that. "Who are you even talking about?" Nate asked, tightening his grip. I think he senses my fear. "They're fighting over Danny, and I think I know how to settle this" Matt said, letting go of Jay. Brian let go of Ronnie rolling his eyes, assuming due to all the childish actions.

Matt walked over to me. "Danny who do you like, Jorel or Ronnie?" he asked. I looked at Jorel then at Ronnie. They both had a hopeful look in their eyes. I frowned, knowing the other is gonna have his heart broken. I liked Jorel but I don't want to hurt Ronnie. "I...I-I...I can't do this" I said, wiggling out of Nate's grip and running back to the others. I hugged George, not wanting to let go. "Hey what's wrong bud?" he asked, rubbing my back. "The fighting scared him, and now he's having to choose between Jorel and Ronnie" Nate said, patting my back. "Awwe poor dude" Jordan said. "So who do you like? I can tell them if you want" Nate asked. I pulled away. "I like Jorel but I really don't want to hurt Ronnie" I said, tears forming. I was instantly hugged by Nate. "Want me to tell them?" he asked. I nodded. "Alright, want to come with me or stay here?" "I'll go with you"

We went back to Jay and his friends and Ronnie. "Danny I'm sorry if we scared you, please don't be mad" Ronnie said. I just hugged Nate's arm. "Do you want to know who he likes?" Nate asked. They nodded, I buried my face in his arm, not wanting to see their reactions especially Ronnie's. "Well he told me he likes Jay" he said. "Wait, really?" Jay asked, sounding shocked. Nate pulled his arm away and looked at me. "Go to him" he said with a smile. I looked at Ronnie and he looked heartbroken. I felt so bad I didn't want to move. "I wanna go home" I said, hugging Nate. "Alright, come on" he said. We walked back to the others. "Hey, I'm gonna bring Danny home, I'll be back" he said, giving a kiss to Cody. "Okay just be safe, alright?" Cody said, he nodded.

We went back to the school's parking lot and got in his car. He drove me to my house, luckily my dad wasn't home and my mom is more understanding. I got out after saying goodbye and went inside. "Hey Daniel, what took so long?" my mom asked, walking out the kitchen. I hugged her, pulling away a minute after. "I went to the park with my friends for a bit, I'm sorry for not telling you before" I said, looking down. "It's okay, sweetie, I'm not mad just a little worried" she said, before going back in the kitchen. I went upstairs and to my room. I got in bed and just laid there, contemplating whether or not to text Jay or wait til tomorrow to talk to him. I sighed and just decided to take a nap.

I woke up an hour later to hear my dad's drunk ass slurring bullshit at my mom. I rolled my eyes and put it my earbuds and blasted misfits. I went back to sleep a moment later.
