This is a short filler chapter. Sorry!

I put my back against the wall that way I'm only vulnerable from the front. It's something I've done automatically for years now.
"W-what do you mean?" I stutter, probably giving away more than I intended too.
"You know, that new kid." He takes a step closer, "What's his name?" He then gets right up to my ear, so close I can feel his breath on the back of my neck, "Carlos?"
"I have no idea what your talking about, Steve," I attempt to scoot away, but he gets back in front of me when I do, "He's just a friend."
"A friend who stays at your house?" Steve asks, his tone getting more and more aggressive. "Yeah, don't think that no one noticed," he smirked.
As he says that I see someone from over his shoulder, walking out of the cafeteria.
It's my Carlos. He appears to be looking for me and when he finally spots me he turns angry. He stomps towards us and pulls Steve back by the shoulder.
"What are you doing, Steve?" Carlos's face is red from anger, but his voice is surprisingly calm.
"Oh, I'm just talking to your boyfriend Carlos. No need to get jealous." I see Carlos's body turn rigid when he hears the word boyfriend.
"We aren't dating you moron. We're both guys, that'd be weird." He says with a deadpan expression.
I'm not sure why, but that makes me angry. More angry than I've ever been. I can feel my face getting hot and my palms start to get sweaty.
"Yeah, Steve! Why the fuck would I ever date Carlos?" They both turn to me, each with different expressions on their faces.
Steve stared at me dumbfounded and Carlos looked hurt. Great.
I'm not sure what comes over me, but I grab Steve by the collar and punch him. Hard.
"Maybe you should get your facts straight before you make stupid assumptions."
I storm out of the hallway before Steve can catch up or realize what has happened. I hear footsteps coming up behind me and feel a hand at my shoulder. I brush it off and keep walking.
Without turning around I say, "What do you want?" I can feel the tears starting to gather in my eyes as I continue forward.
"Cecil, stop." Those oaky tones made me stop in my tracks whether I wanted to or not.
Carlos grabbed my hand and spun me around so I was facing him. His face was hard, but turned soft the moment he saw my tear stained cheeks. He brought his hand up to my face and gently wiped away the tears.
"Cecil, look I'm sorry. We are obviously both hurt by what the other said, so let's just forget about it. Okay?"
I look up at him and he looks so sincere.
"Yeah. Yeah, okay." I say as I wipe the rest of my tears away. "I didn't mean it you know."
"Mean what?" Carlos said, playing with my fingers.
"What I said earlier. I would always pick you, over anyone, just so you know." As soon as the words are out of my mouth Carlos's lips are on mine and his tongue is in my mouth. He pulls away breathless.
"I know." He pulls back smiling and grabs my hand. "Let's go to lunch now."
