My Snarky Tutor(Boyxboy)

-Chapter Twenty-Eight-

(Eric's P.O.V)

    After reading over Noah's text messages for about the third time in the library during my lunch break, I put my phone back into my pocket. I was getting really worried about him. He told me that he needed time alone which was fine with me but I haven't seen him at school at all. Usually, I'd see him at lunch by the vending machines or a couple of times in the hall since a couple of our classes were near each other.

                "I really miss him."

      It wasn't like it has been years so I shouldn't be missing him so much. Yet I do .I've been so used to hanging out with him that I feel lonely if I study or read too long. I think it's because I enjoy being with Noah than the things I used to enjoy for so long.

     Noah even has an effect on my goals. Not on purpose of course. I used to want to go to university SO badly. I didn't want to go to university that much anymore. I was afraid that Noah and I will grow apart. I would've been in university already right now if It wasn't for Blondie. It was because of her that didn't skip any grades. She didn't tell me not to, I made that decision on my own. I just wanted to be around her for a bit longer and not face school and university without her. Thank goodness I waited or else I wouldn't have met Noah.

   The lunch bell ended and I headed towards my class. Since it wasn't far, I was the first person waiting outside the classroom. A couple classmates, both boys that I didn't bother to remember their names, appeared to wait with me. For about a minute, they just looked at me. Then, they started whispering. I shrugged, already used to people talking about me behind my back. Besides, the things they said wasn't usually true anyways. The brown haired one bushed the peach fuzz one towards me.

    Peach fuzz glared at the guy and turned to me and said "Are you gay?"

    I felt myself look at him with a strange look.

    What? Why on Earth was he asking that question? What made him ask anyways?

    Before I could say anything, more people approached us. One of the guys said "Yo, I saw you hold hands with some guy the other day. What is up with that?"

   One Asian girl said "Really? So you're gay?"

   Some of the students started bombarding me with questions about my sexuality, some were like "That's disgusting." and other people were like "Who cares?"

 More and more classmates started appearing and the ones who were already here are telling them what was going on so now they started asking questions or saying some things.

  I was too surprised to answer anything. So...did the whole school know? I didn't really care If they did but...what about Noah? Were people harassing him?

 Peach fuzz snapped me out of my thoughts and said "I have to know if you're broke in the wrist because if you are,  I need you to stay away from me. I don't want no dude hitting on me.'

I rolled my eyes

'Not in a million years.'

"So..." I began to say "Is there any particular reason why my sexual orientation is anyone's business?"

                         "So we won't bend down in front of you." one of the guys laughed.

                         "Shut up, Jason." the Asian girl said. "I always wanted a gay best friend."

                         "Why? They are basically girls anyways. No difference."

                         "Uh...gay guys are either cute or hot. Straight guys are ugly...except for Justin Bieber."

                          'But he's a fag too!"

I began to tune everyone out as they all began chatting to each other. Finally, they stopped talking to me. I wasn't used to so many people speaking to me all at once. It was exhausting. Blondie was sadly not in this class. Her class was in the basement. As I waited for Mr. Collin to show up, I began to smile while thinking about Noah.

"Anyways, didn't that guy kiss Dustin?"

That made me stop smiling and thinking and my heart nearly stopped.

Shit, I forgot how things spread EVERYWHERE and doesn't remain with a certain group or grade. If one popular kid knew something, the entire school would know within at least a couple of days. I didn't pay attention when other people gossiped so maybe that's why I didn't know anything before. Please, don't let these idiots bully Noah. They can hurt me...just not Noah..

Hurting him causes me the worst kind of pain.

Some black hair guy then said "How can you queers do that. Being all touchy with another man and taking it up the ass? I'd rather die. It's too gross. Not to mention it's a complete sin."

I shrugged. I was used to hearing things like this so it didn't really hurt me. However...

"Yep." I nodded." Gays sin all the time just for being affectionate to another human being. We know it's wrong but we do it anyways to convert straight men and take over the world. Let's just forget about all the other sins that truly hurt people like killing, stealing, committing suicide."

Everyone stared at me a little and peach fuzz said "How can a man be affectionate with another man? That's strange. It's not real love."

One of the girls said " Maybe...but I still find It cute."

The guy turned to her

"Really? You're going to burn in hell along with Eric and that faggot that held hands with him."

"Don't call him that." I told him sternly without a second thought.

The guy looked at me with his eyebrow raised.

"It's true.He kissed Dustin, and held hands with you. See people, gays only want to get in guys' pants. Anyways. the faggot could at least did those things in private. I do not need to see something like that."

My stomach twisted and my blood heated up as I clenched my fist.

I was about to say something until Noah appeared in my mind. I didn't feel so angry anymore.

I finally saw Mr.Collin heading our way so I figured that I'd get the last word in.

"You're right. He is a faggot." I said, making them stare.

"He's  Fantastic, Adorable, Generous, Gentle, Open-minded, and The person I adore."

Everyone looked at each other. Some had realization faces which turned to shock in seconds. Others just gave me blank stares, not understanding what I just did.

"Tell me something I don't know." I told them. "Just maybe I'll allow you to talk to me again."

Peach fuzz scrunched his face out of disgust and yelled "So you ARE-"

Mr.Colin walked passed us to unlock the classroom door.

"Good Afternoon." he said.

I smirked at everyone. Just on time.

Well...maybe I should I have thought about telling people I liked Noah more thoroughly. I hope it wouldn't effect him. But if It did, I'll protect him.
