Rumors and Avoidance

George struggled to get out of bed Monday morning.

Usually, he's much happier since it was another day to see Clay. Also he started to like school, even if it was in America. All his friends are amazing and make school so much better than usual.

But today was not his day. After the fight with Clay, he felt like drowning himself in a toilet.

He didn't want to face Clay, he was nervous even thinking about seeing him. He was going to have to, considering they have lunch together with all their friends and of course sitting next to each other in history. This was going to be the worst day.

Clay felt the same as George. He knew he fucked up; he just didn't know how to fix it. It would be too hard to face George. He was probably still really pissed off, which Clay understood.

George walked into the cold building and immediately saw one of his good friends Karl. They had small talk and then George went to his english class.

He expected Nick to already be in his seat, but he wasn't in the classroom. Damnit, the one day George needed a distraction, Nick wasn't here.

George decided to focus on classwork instead of thinking about Clay. Maybe that could distract him some. He was already behind on a lot of his schoolwork due to thinking about football games and more specifically Clay.

Clay was acting weird to everyone. He was quiet, too quiet. He heard people whisper some things, talking about what could possibly be wrong with him but he ignored it. Now there was one thing he couldn't ignore.

"Yeah, don't even try with George. He's gay."

Ugh, Kate. It was one thing to talk about him, but talking about Clay's friends is a no for him.

"What the hell did you just say?" Clay spoke up, making Kate turn around in her seat.

"I said, George is gay. Everyone knows it, he's not interested in any of the pretty girls here."

"George isn't gay, I would know. I'm his best friend."

"Are you sure? You guys seem to be more than that."

The whole class went silent. "Kate, you know I'm not gay. George isn't either, he just has good taste. Why would he want to date some bitch like you?"

Clay could feel his face start to heat up, but he payed no mind to that. He just wanted Kate to shut the hell up.

"So defensive, you've gotta be his boyfriend."

"I'm not gay, Kate. You out of all people should know that." Clay was fuming whilst Kate just sat back and watched.

"You act like George is your little puppy. It's like you have to watch out for him or something."

"Kate if you don't shut the hell up-"

"Or what? What will you do?"

A few people were listening to the whole conversation in interest, but Clay ignored everyone around them. He was so mad that she would even make that assumption that he didn't care who was watching.

"For the last goddamn time, I'm not gay and neither is George. You're just pissed cause you could never get him to sleep with you. You're too slutty for him."

And that was it. He realized why she was doing this.

The party.

Clay remembered right whenever he got there George was in a bad mood which was why he got so drunk. Kate pulled Clay aside after awhile just to try and tell him that George was gay. That had to be it.
