Bromance Gone Wrong

Maths Class

Alex's POV:
Maths class, the place where no one does any work and regains their energy. The nerdy group was in the front as always, the gay kids behind us and everyone else scattered through out. The teacher had just given us our work for the lesson but even she knew we were not going to do it. James, Jackson, Dylan and I all sat in the front row of class and played games on our phone for the whole lesson. It was all we ever did really. I had just opened up this brand new game that we were all playing when i hear Jackson yelling in the side of my ear. He was always yelling about something but he was a great person to be around and the only person who i had confided in. He was the only one who i had told that i was bisexual but he did not judge me or change his views on me. If I'm being honest he did not even care, he just kept playing his game when i told him. James was a quiet kid, tall with curly hair, not my type at all. He was a bit of a nerd but in his own way, he was a new friend but he was still super nice. Now, Dylan, where do i start. Dylan and i met last year in our first class and there was an instant connection. We were talking to each other like we had known each other our whole lives. He was super into sports, i was sort of in to sports at the time but he definitely brought it out of me. He was actually the one who got me to be friends with the others. Now you may be asking why did i not tell Dylan, what i told Jackson. Well there is an easy answer to that,
Dylan is homophobic. He is always going on about how he thinks gay people are weird and how is so glad he does not associate himself with the ones in our class. I personal think that the gay kids in our class, Jimmy, Max, Natasa and Nova are quiet nice but weird in a lot of different ways. I do not talk to them for other reasons but that is not important. I feel my friendship with Dylan loosen everytime he says something homophobic. Dylan is a very attractive guy but I would never see him in that type of way. At least I think. I yelled at Jackson to quiet down and he gave me one of his mischievious smiles and continued playing his game. Dylan looked at me and laughed. It was cute when he smiled. Wait, why was i thinking that, block it out Alex. Dylan got up and came over to me to show me his phone.
"Look at this new character I got dude, doesn't it look awesome" Dylan spoke.
"Yeah, it looks hella awesome, your so lucky." I replied with a smile.
We locked eyes for a moment and I felt something in my chest. He looked at me puzzled so i must have been showing it in my face. I quickly turned and started talking to Jackson. I could feel Dylans eyes on the back of my head and i knew he was one of two things. Upset or Angry. He was probably going to ask me about that later but that was for another time.
"Woah hey dude," Jackson yelled, stunned.
"Sorry dude i just wanted to show you this really quickly," I say as i pull out my phone. Good distraction me.

Dylans POV:
That was really weird. Alex just stopped talking to me all of a sudden. Was it something i said? Man fucking hell, Alex has been acting so weird lately and it has been pissing me off. I feel like we have been drifting apart lately but i really can not let that happen. I have been having a few issues with my sexuality lately and i think Alex has noticed but i still try and say homophobic things to cover it up. Maybe i need to try something more intense to really get him back on my side. Alex is homophobic, so I can't let him know I might be gay or else our whole friendship could break apart. Jackson is the only one who knows anything about how im feeling. If I'm being honest though, I don't even think he heard what i was talking about. All the straight girls in my class are obsessed with me and it is really easy to toy with their hearts its become a side hobby. The best one so far is with a girl called Kayla. She wasn't all over me but I could feel her eyes staring into the back of my head during class. Anyways it was time to do what i was planning. I was going to beat up Jimmy, the token gay kid in our class. This would surely show Alex how "homophobic" I was. I get up and walk over to him while he is standing at the back of the class with Natasa.
"Hey Jimmy" I say.
"What Dylan?" He says as he is turning to face me.
"Sorry" I whisper as i take my clenched fist and connect it with his face. He widthstands the punch which shocked me. What shocked me even more though, was the feeling of his fist on my face as he retaliated. All of a sudden I bring my fist back into his face and he falls to the floor. Our teacher is yelling at us to both go to withdrawl room, so we do. I can feel the anger radiating off of him as we get their. The teacher in their sees us and we sit in there for the rest of the lesson. The lunchbell rings and we both leave. As we get outside I grab him by the arm and pull him behind a building. I feel his arm tense up as he yells for me to let him go. I let go once were out of sight.
"I'm sorry ok but just let me explain" I exclaim.
"What could you possibly have to say for yourself" he continues "You come up to me in the middle of class and punch me in the face, WHAT THE FUCK!!!"
"Look im going to give it to you straight" I explain "Alex is homophobic and im questioning my sexuality." The anger in his face dies down and I give a sigh of relief.
"So because your questioning, you had to make a scene to prove to him that you weren't and keep your friendship?" He ask.
"Exactly," I reply
"Ok Levitt, your secrets safe with me but if i may be so bold, what are you thinking?" He questions.
"Gay but I don't want to get into it," I say as i walk off to find alex.

Alex POV:
What the fuck is the commotion in the back of the classroom. I turn around to see Dylan punch Jimmy in the face and him fall to the ground. I hear yelling from the teacher and watch as they both leave the classroom. I ask Jackson if he knew why Dylan did that but he shrugged his shoulders and went back to his game. This was so out of character for Dylan. It better not have been because of the fact that Jimmy is gay. If so I don't know how much longer i can be friends with Dylan.
