The day that went wrong || Quackbur

Chapter 5

{Start of chapter} 

Clay walked over to Alex and patted him on the back

"Hey" He said in his normal tone

Alex had flashbacks from his dream, Clay looking him dead in the eyes. He had to avoid eye contact or else he might mess something up. Clay was one of the most popular people in their grade, and he was friends with most of Alex's friends. He noticed Clay was standing there awkwardly, obviously uncomfortable that Alex hadn't responded.

"Hello.. What do you want? " Alex replied, looking at the floor, the greyish tiles were not interesting.

"Nothing- am I not allowed to say hi now? " Clay asked, clearly confused.

Alex knew he had to tell someone, and Clay wasn't a bad dude so why not him? Then he rethought that he might be judged by the blonde, he sighed, Clay's gaze picking up from the floor, trying to read an expression off of Alex's face.

"No- you are, I just have something on my mind" Alex said, immediately regretting his choice of words.

"Oh, wanna talk about it? " The Blonde responded, some hope showed in his eyes. Poor dude, he only wanted to help.

"No thanks, I'd rather talk to Darryl about it, he's the group therapist anyways" Alex responded, laughing quietly at the last few words.

"Alright, that's fair. "You could easily pick up the disappointment in his voice but Alex ignored it.

"I should get going, Teachers gonna call the dean on me if I don't-" Alex quickly said, remembering how he had probably pissed his teacher off earlier.

"Makes sense, try not to get in too much trouble" Clay responded, patting Alex on the back then walking back to his class which was in the opposite hallway.

Alex opened the door and suddenly felt all eyes on him. He looked at the floor and walked over to his seat, putting his head down and hoping the teacher wouldn't notice.

"Oh Mr. Alex, are we back? Go to the office, they'd like to have a chat with you" the teacher said rather rudely but Alex was a troublemaker so that was to be expected.

He stood up and took his bag, heading to the front office. He sighed as the front desk lady looked up and recognized him.

"Dean Phil is in his office" she said before going back to whatever she was doing.

Alex walked into the office, it was normally lunch break for the deans but all in all, Phil was used to Alex being here.

"What did you do now? " Phil asked, looking up from his sandwich.

"Just walked outta class. Wil was bothering me so it's not my fault I got fed up. " He said, God , he must sound like such a dumbass.

"Oh, just the normal tension? What'd he tease you with now? "

The two had been fighting for 2 years now and almost everyone was sick of them. Accept for Phil and Darryl, also Zak; Darryl was too nice to be sick of anyone and Zak just wanted into the action. The dude would take anything if it involved action or drama.

"Kept calling me Princess. He's just so annoying sometimes. " Alex said, sitting down in one of the chairs across from Phil.

"Do you want me to Call Darryl? You always seem to be more willing to talk to him"

"No- don't want his wonderful grades to go down. Plus this isn't that serious, it's not like a breakup or anything where I'd need emotional support, I'll just talk to him later; after school"

"Fine, why are you here then? "

"Teacher sent me here after I walked out. "

It fell silent for a moment. Before Phil cleared his throat.

"What's wrong? " this took Alex off guard

"Wha-what do you mean? "

"Something's on your mind. " Phil said in a reassuring voice, he had known Alex for the few years he had been in Highschool but Phil was good friends with Alex's parents.

"No- nothings on my mind. " He said in a stern voice.

"Alex. I'm not going to argue with you on this."

Alex sighed "Fine, I'll just go back to class then. " He looked over at Phil who seemed surprised.

He took his bag and walked back to class, before Wil pulled him back by his backpack.

"Where are we going, troublemaker? " the words stung. Even though he got called that practically every day why did it hurt?
