After yesterday's incident  with  travis and everything else I was more careful with what I said to travis .. at lunch I sat with larry and ash as well as chug and his new girlfriend mapel . Larry looked disgusted at his food .. it was the school's bologna sandwich , as well as ash
"Does the bologna smell funny to you guys?.."
She looked disgusted at her tray.
"It always smells gross but its worse today.."
Larry threw out his plate and sat back down
"I don't know how travis eats that stuff.."
I threw mine away as well after I looked towards were travis usually sits but he had disappeared he  was sitting there when I got in the lunch room.

I got up and started looking around larry looked at me
"What are you doing sal?"
I looked back at larry
"I'll be right back"
I left the lunch room and walked down the hall going into the boys bathroom..

I looked around and noticed a small crinkled paper next to the trash.. it wouldn't hurt anyone if I read it right?..

It's just scribbles after that.. I walk down to the last stall if the bathroom .. I heard some sniffling and light crying..
"Anyone is there?"
The crying stopped
"No duh fuckwad - buzz off!"
I heard a familiar voice .. it's travis
"Were you just crying a second ago?.."
I heard a light kinda gasp
"Sally face? .. what no .. can't a guy get some privacy!"
I sat down against the stall next to the one travis was in
"Why do you hate me so much?.."
Travis went quiet for a second ..
" beacuse you and your dumb friends are a bunch of homos it's sick , God will never love you  why should i-"
I thought about what travis said for a second
" you know we all aren't actually gay right.. well except for me and Todd , Todd is super gay but i think that's great about him."
Travis unlocked the door but didn't come out
"Why are you being so nice to me..i- punched you yesterday."
I sighed
"because I don't think your a bad person travis.. I think your just a great guy who's afraid to be himself.."
Travis went quiet again
"Well I don't need you pity.. i-.."
I looked at travis's shoes
"You know you can talk to me anytime... I won't judge you travis "
Travis sighed
"You know I don't really hate you or your friends.. I think your wonderful but.."
I listened to travis.
"But?"
Travis opened  the door and sat next to me
" your so cool and.. I'm just some bully.."
I smiled under my thick prosthetic
"I don't think your just some bully.."
Right before we could talk anymore the bell rang for 6th period..
"Aw man well you can stop by my place anytime travis .. bye-"
I got up and started walking toward the door
"Wait-"
I turned and looked at travis
"Hm?"
He took a deep breath
"Thank you sal-"
I smiled and my stomach felt tingly
"Anytime travis "
