A/N: Hey guys! Sorry this has taken a bit of time to update but I was waiting for the perfect time (I take writing this way too seriously.) And today fits, it's Friday & I'm in a good mood so update! K I'll stop talking now cx Comment vote and add to library if you like my story! 

The weekend was a great deal more fun with Kellin here. All of Saturday Mike, Kellin, and I spent at the mall going in and out of various stores, talking about anything and everything. Sunday we ended up inviting a few of Mike and I's friends over and prank calling more friends. After that got boring, Mike began his classical scary stories and dreams. One, in which I was possessed by some evil spirit, sent  Kellin soaring and he landed in my lap. We all roared in laughter and Kellin was red as a hydrant. Priceless. It's now Monday morning and Mike and I are getting ready for school.

"Hey Vic let's play this or that with my outfit: red or purple tank?" My brother asked.

"Purple"

"Okayyyy. Black or red shorts?"

"Red"

"Finally, green or black shoes?"

"Green"

After Mike finished putting on all his clothes he looked in the mirror with a bewildered look on his face. It made me smirk at how ridiculously unmatched he was.

"You did that on purpose" He pouted.

"Yup, sure did! Now put on some matching clothes and let's go. I don't want to be late."

"You just want to go see your little eye candy" He said with a sly smile as he dressed. Was he talking about Kellin?

"What? Who are you talking about?" I asked nervously.

"Dude c'mon, it's obvious. Jenessa Mury? The chick from P.E. dumbass!"

I mentally sighed in relief, I'm pretty sure Mike still isn't aware I'm gay. Sure, he bantered the other day when I informed him I was going out with Kellin for dinner. But he's always so damn sportive, it's hard to know when he's really serious.

"Oh yeah, shhhh!" I put my finger over my lip and Mike winked back as we headed downstairs and out the door to the car.

*Kellin's POV*

"Please support our school's football team by coming to the pep rally for the game tonight at 8 PM!" 

Posters were scattered messily throughout the hallway I walked. I was heading to my locker to put my backpack and things away when I was shoved into an empty classroom by someone.

"Missed me?" A fist connected with my cheek. I opened my eyes to see my attacker was none only Jaime Preciado. The same boy that kicked me down and punched me the first day of school. 

"I've been so busy tormenting other kids, I completely forgot about your faggot ass" A kick to the ribs.

"J-Jaime...please I-I'm sorry, just please stop..." I whined. Another kick.

"What's the matter? Pretty boy can't take a kick? Pathetic. Just like your existence. I see you making eyes at Vic, but guess what lover boy? He's taken by me. So screw off my boyfriend." A last kick.

After that Jaime left the room and I curled up in a ball with tears in my eyes, pain in my ribs, and a smashing headache. But despite the injuries, my heart hurt a little bit more. "Vic is with Jaime? If he is, then why didn't he mention it? And why did he let him hurt me last week without confronting him?" My head swirled, but I managed to pick myself up and hobble to first period. Trying not to let anyone sense that I was just a victim of bullying. Again. But I decided that I deserved it. It was part of the joy of being Kellin. Fat, pathetic, ugly, Kellin.

I was now walking out of the gym and extremely jovial from the rally. I was also vigorously editing and posting videos from it on Instagram because what can I say? I'm a social media queen. After aimlessly walking around campus for ten minutes, I found Mike and Alysha out on the football stands. Normally we'd all meet in the cafeteria, but today the rally messed up our lunch schedules so Vic, Tone, and Matty had all already been in 4th period. So instead, our trio talked for the rest of lunch and made fun of Mike in his whole wardrobe predicament Vic put him through this morning. Classical Victur.

I had to say, having friends was awesome.

My phone went off with Vic's name showing up. I cringed at the thought of him because I was still slightly disappointed that he hadn't told me about him and Jaime, but I answered anyway.

Vic: Hey dude coming to the game tonight?

I hesitated, I completely forgot about that. I tossed my phone down and went over to my dresser to check my wallet. I had five bucks which was just enough to get in.

Me: Didn't plan on it, but why the hell not. Why are you?

Vic: Yeah Mikey and I are getting ready now. We might be a little late because Mike can't choose what the hell he wants to wear!

I smiled at the thought of Mike throwing shirt after shirt out of the closet

Me: Lol why can't he decide?

Vic: He's trying to impress Alysha ;)

Oh? I didn't even pick up on Mike having a thing for Alysha at lunch today. He's obviously good at hiding feelings.

Me: Ahh haha get it Mike! Cya guys there!

Vic: K

I cringed and hesitated to reply to him with a two-page paper on how much I hate getting "K" as a response, but I refrained. Instead, I headed to the bathroom for a shower and getting ready for tonight.

*Vic's POV*

Mike finally picked out what he was wearing and we were on our way to school. The whole car ride he would not shut up about how alluring Alysha was. Of course, this didn't interest me because girls didn't interest me. But I let my little brother ramble regardless.

We pulled into student parking, paid the fee, and proceeded in the gates when a familiar voice snuck up behind me.

"Hey Vic" 

I turned to see Jenessa, the girl Mike thought I had a crush on. "Uh, hey, Jenessa" I rubbed the back of my neck nervously as I peered for some excuse to get away from her. I searched for Mike but I saw he was already engulfed in Alysha's presence. Dammit.

"So did you come with anyone?" She asked with a smile.

"Nah, just Mike." 

She raised an eyebrow. "Well then, looks like you're stuck with me tonight" She said before lacing her arm with mine and pulling me toward the back of the football stands. I looked back at Mike and he and Alysha were standing there, both thumbs up and a ridiculous grin. If only they knew how much I'd rather be with Kellin right now.

Speaking of Kellin, where is he?

*Kellin's POV*        

After I got out of the shower, I was about to get ready for the game. That is until I caught glimpse of my reflection staring back at me. I dropped my clothes and myself to the floor before letting out a bellowing cry. How could I let myself look this distasteful?

However, I didn't want to leave Vic waiting for me too long. So I decided to leave the sinful acts for after the game. I pulled myself together and got ready before walking the way to school.

-

I arrived about twenty minutes after the game started. It was 5-3, our school winning. I searched the home stands for Vic, but I didn't see him. I saw Mike and Alysha but they looked pretty content and I didn't want to disturb them. Where was the little Mexican?

I wandered around the back of the stands to see something rather infelicitous.

Vic and some girl. His lips planted on hers.
