Bond Unbroken

~Meeting A Real Life Barbie~

Virgil was putting things into his locker when he noticed two people walking down the hallway. One of which looked like your stereotypical theater kid while the other was in a cheerleading uniform.

Remus groaned. "This bitch," he muttered.

Virgil raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Roman, my brother. And his fake ass excuse for a girlfriend."

"She can't be that bad."

Remus gave him a 'really' look. "She's a godforsaken cheerleader. She's worse than 'that bad'. Roman's completely blind to it, which makes it worse."

Virgil laughed, rolling his eyes. "Whatever." He watched them grow nearer.

They linked arms upon arriving at Virgil's locker.

"Hello, brother," Roman smiled a bit.

Remus hummed. "Yeah, hi."

Carly looked Virgil up and down with judgemental eyes. "Who let King Edgelord into the school?"

"Damn, I didn't know Barbie was running this place," Virgil countered. "My apologies, your highness." He did a slight bow.

Carly scoffed. "Excuse me?"

"You're excused," Remus smirked.

She growled. "Listen here, dickwad. Just because you're the fucked up twin doesn't mean you have to be an ass."

Remus looked at his brother who had his eyes downcast at the ground. "You gonna let her talk to me like that?"

Roman didn't answer. Carly smirked. "He knows what I'm saying is true."

"Don't put words into my mouth," Roman finally spoke up.

She stared at him. "Whatever. I'll be in gym class." With that, she turned on her heel and left. Her ponytail bounced as she walked.

"Well she's fun," Virgil muttered.

"Told you," Remus said in a sing-song voice.

Roman sighed. "Look, I'm really sorry about her."

Virgil shook his head. "I don't really care. People at my last school weren't much better."

"Yeah, uh, who are you again?" Roman asked.

"Virgil," he answered.

"Roman." He flashed a small smile.

Remus hummed. "Yeah, yeah. Look, I have to give him the rest of the tour."

"Go on then. I don't wanna get in your way," he chuckled.

"Mhm," Remus rolled his eyes, grabbing Virgil's arm gently and dragging him away.

"You two don't seem to get along much.."

Remus hummed. "Eh. We have our moments."

Virgil waited for him to continue but soon realized that he wasn't going to. "So.. where to next?"

"uH, I've got no clue. Obviously not to the gym because of Miss Barbie soooo I dunno." He sighed.

Just then, a shorter kid ran up to them. "Hey, Re. I may or may not need you to hide me-"

Virgil blinked. "Wh-"

"What happened this time?" Remus looked at him.

"Pissed off the wrong person again. Dean Evans."

Virgil froze, his mind starting to race.

"jAnUs WhYYYY?" He whined. "One, I'm in the middle of a tour. And two, I keep telling you not to, and. You. do. It. aNyWaY!"

Janus rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Bathroom? Like, now."

Virgil just listened to them. He started shaking slightly. Not here, he thought. Please not here. His breathing became a bit uneven as he fidgeted with his hoodie sleeves.

"Fine, fine. Virgil, would you mind hiding in the bathroom with us? Like it'll be maybe 20 or so minutes." He asked.

Virgil just nodded, not trusting his voice. Janus grabbed Remus' arm and started pulling it. "Enough chit chat. Let's go before I get pulverized!"

"Okay, OKAY! Virgil just.. Follow us." He murmured, walking quickly with Jay.

Virgil kept up with them.
