I hate him.

chapter 1

A/N this takes place about a week after the bologna incident. also i want to make this as realistic as possible because it is known that Travis and sal eventually did either become friends or more if you want me to make a Chapter explaining that let me know lol

so this takes place in between the empty space of sals last highschool years and maybe further

anyways read of besties😏😏😏

CW// Use of homophobic slurs (i prefer not to use them although i am a gay)

Travis Pov

I hate him.

i hate his stupid mask, his stupid friends, his stupid oversized sweater that makes him look so small. Just like my father said. he's a bad influence. a Manipulator. a fag. just the thought of him makes me want to scream. he's always so happy. not matter how hard i try he always seems to brush it off like nothing. his friends are accepting, his dad is too, it's not fair why does he get it all and i get none. why is he aloud to be himself yet i get punished. why can't i be accepted? why don't i get to be myself. i hate him i hate him i hate him.

Third Person Pov

travis told himself this every time he saw sal. he's try to convince himself he hated him he thought if he acted like it maybe eventually he would, but every time he found out the small things about sal that should bother him, they never did. he thought it was cute he appreciated it, how he'd let his friends draw on his mask, how he would stand on his tip toes to get stuff from high shelves, the way you could see his smile just from his eyes, the way his hands were so delicate and smooth. travis didn't hate sal, however he had no choice, he wasn't aloud an opinion. he was snapped out of his train of thought when somebody began to talk to him.

"hey Travy my boy"

he looked up to see who was trying to get his attention. it was Larry. him and sal seemed to go everywhere together. in fact he'd barely see Sal without him.

"what do you want." travis exclaimed in a more aggressive tone then intended. he put his turkey sandwich down, scanning the two boys in front of him. Larry was towering over him (i know Travis is taller than Larry but travis is currently sitting down and Larry's standing) He was wearing the same Shirt as yesterday, it appeared to have some kind of band logo on it. he smelt of cigarettes and men's deodorant, the mixture didn't smell too good. he  had black Jeans on with a small chain on the side. Travis then looks beside Larry to his left there was rather short figure being Sal. he had his oversized black sweater on, along with a pair of red ripped jeans that were also unintentionally oversized on his rather slim body. He was awkwardly standing there as if he was too shy to say something so Larry was talking for him.

"we were just wondering how you were feelin' about the fact they don't serve Bologna anymore"

Larry questioned. they were trying to see if Travis knew anything about what happened. which he didn't, and although they assumed that,  they still wanted to be safe.

travis looked up at them with a confused face

"what the fuck are you talking about"

Travis asked, still confused.
"uhh you know how they stopped serving your favourite meal? doesn't it bother you? by the way what was in that bologna?"
larry now asked in a more investigation like tone.

travis was still confused, was he trying to accuse him of something?
"why would it bother me it was a shit meal just not as shit as the other meals why would i care about lunch meat"

this wasn't true, travis didn't like bologna that much but he liked the sandwiches because his mom used to make them for him as a kid. he missed his mom.

Larry looked at Sal who seemed to give him a weird look, Larry seemed to know what it meant so he looked back towards travis before questioning him again.

"Soooo you don't know what was in it? or like why they stopped serving it?"

"no fucko why would i give a shit it's lunch meat?"

the added nickname in that sentence made Larry annoyed but he decided to ignore it for Sals Sake. he looked back at sal again for confirmation that they were done sal nodded and they began to walk back to their table.
"see ya later alligator" Larry laughed as they left.

(The gang are trying to figure out Mrs Packertons connections and who else is involved in the cult)

once they were back at their table they began to discuss the conversation they just had.

"What happened? did he know" curious Ash said as soon as they got back to the table.

"He didn't seem to know anything but he was acting a bit suspicious" sal replied

larry spoke up after sal "yeah that could just be because we caught him off guard though, the dude is always so tense i never knew why"

sal began to think about it, Larry has been at the appartments since forever Surely he'd know about Packertons comings and going's.
"Larry did you ever see Packerton leaving he room? or people going too her room?" surely it would stand out as it barely happened.

"uhh i think i've seen a few people go to her place like once or twice but other than that  she only left to go to church on Sunday's"

sal sat there silent in thoughts when he felt eyes looking at him. he turned to see who it was when he made eye contact with travis, who seemed to look away the minute Sal saw him. Travis blushed a deep red but tried to cover it by looking away.
then it hit him "Wait! isn't the church owned by travis's dad? maybe we could figure out who goes there and see if mrs packerton spoke to anyone while she was there" he said a little louder than the others quieting previous conversation that was happening.

"good thinking dude! i don't know how we're gonna get travis or his dad to talk to us though" Larry claimed
"yeah that's gonna be a tough one" everyone was quiet trying to think for the second time.
they were interrupted by the school bell Ringing in their ears louder than usual, sending them off to class, sal had a double math class with travis, after Mrs packerton passed they've had substitute teachers and a set seating plan. Travis was sat 1 seat in front of sal and 1 too the right.

this was gonna be fun
