Bittersweet Blueberrys | Sal x Travis (Break)

- Chapter 21 -

PoV. Sal

Travis is not that mean anymore, he's more likely, ignoring everyone and anything. His wounds are slowly healing again and I get closer to him. 

I don't want to forcefully find out what happened. And if it get's better, maybe I shouldn't try to anyway? I should probably not seek through someones life, but I'm worried. 

Hopefully it will stop for good, and not start again after a while. Speaking of, he just walks in the school 'heyy Travy' I jokingly greet him. He looks away, ignoring me on the way to his locker. But, I see the slight, light red blush on his face. 'oh come on, you can't ignore me forever!' I roll my eyes and go after him.

We both walk- well mostly me following him, to our math class. I know he hates math and has problems, but I think it's pretty easy! I could teach him, though Todd is better in teaching then I'd ever be. 

We go past some other students and lockers, shit. I need my stuff. I know he isn't going to even notice, so I go to my locker and try remember my code, yeah no. This isn't going to work... hmm... I search through my bag and find nothing. 

'Hey dude, need help?' Larry apears apparently out of thin air behind me. He walks past me to my locker and pulls something out to pick it. 'There you go. you know, we could hangout before our class, maybe even skip it?' He turns to me and steps out of the way so I can get my stuff. 

'I ain't going to skip, go with Ash or something.' I search through my locker until I find my math stuff. 'asked her already, she has no time to skip. And about Todd, we both know he isn't gonna do shit.' I turn back to Lar, closing my locker again and watch how he rolls his eyes annoyed. 'Oh, right, Todd wan't to talk with us later on the birdtree.' Larry nods to the door to the backyard. 

We talk a bit before the bell rings. Larry high fives me and dissapears in the crowded hallways to either his class or skipping. You can never be sure with him. And I go to math. Travis sits there and stares at the wall, not moving at all. A bit creepy I guess.

---

The class was real easy for me, maybe boring. But everytime I looked over to Travis he looked confused and sort of scared. After most students left I grab a piece of paper "Hey, If you need help with math just text me! -Sal" I put the paper in my pocket and walk out of the classroom to the backyard. I wouldn't forget it, don't worry.

Todd already sits there, a book in his lap and him reading it. He looks up and nods as a greet before he continues to read. I sit next to him and wait for the others to come, I don't think he'd tell me if the others aren't here, but I can live with that.

It takes 5 minutes for Ash to come, she drags Larry behind her on his ear. I couldn't help but chuckle, how Larry curses at her. 'Glad you came her before the the next period starts.' Todd didn't even look up from his book. 'Well, you see this ass of person decided to smoke infront of the school and got caught ofcourse. I waited for him outside of the office and when he got out he wanted to go home. So I had to drag him all the way here.' She let go of Lar, who holds his ear in pain. 

'Well, first off, my Parents wanted me to tell all of you that they're adopting another kid.' Todd started, now standing next to me, leaving his book on the grass. 'You called us here just to tell us that?' Larry's voice sounds pissed and he leans at the wall. 'No. I called you here because of new informations, that you need to know as soon as possible, It might safe our life.' He sighs, then continues whispering 'There's a spy in the school, atleast one. Possibly also two. They're being sent from the cult. I don't know who their target is, but I'm pretty sure it's one of us.' Todd. I'm not stupid, I see the way you look at me. I'm not special. Those 'glitches' is probably from family or something or... whatever I'm not special. 

'what if it's one of us?' Ash says with a smirk and chuckle, not expecting an answer. 
'Yeah, right.' Larry laughs with her. 

I blush a bit, Ashleys chuckle is cute to be honest. I can't deny that I falled for her. 
'Earth to Sally Face' Larry waves his hand infront of my face. 'Oh, wha?' 'You stared at ash for like an eternity, bro. The bell rang already, I'd get to my class if I were you. Not me ofcourse, but you should hurry.' Larry goes to the door and leaves, and I go to the other one, rushing to my next period.

~ time skip ~ (after school)

I sit infront of the school on the stairs. I don't want to walk home with probably high Larry, Ash goes in another direction with Todd, I'm guessing he's either going to a sleepover with her or Neil. I gotta wait for a while atleast, he might take a different route, still. 

Not long after most students left Travis comes out. It's obvious to tell, not everyone has neon Yellow hair. Wouldn't even be surprised if it glows at night, hah.

He looks over to me, and we make eye contact. He just stares right into my eye-ssss? It takes a few before he realized and looks away, bright red blush all over his face. Hmm... why? I'll probably think that out at home. 

I jump off the steps and walk towards him, he looks back to me and I guess I startled him, because he jumps a bit. 'You know, if you ever need help you can ask.' I say to him. I put the note I wrote earlier and put it in his pocket when he didn't notice what exactly I am doing. 

'buzz of.' He almost mumbles, turning away walking to his house, but he looks back before taking the corner. Making eyecontact again, jeez how often does this happen? And then he rushes to the other street.

Oh, look at the time, Lar should be at home at this point. I take my bag and make my way to Addison apartments. 

---

I sit on my bed, luckily I don't have homework today. Now that I have time for myself I got time to think why Travis always blushes when we make eye contact.

Hmm... the note from the restroom was obviously from him. Speaking of, I take it from my bag. No, I didn't throw it away, could be useful someday I thought then. But who was it meant for? 

I mean... could it be? He always blushes when we make eyecontact, embarassed? or... well he acts different around me, I can see that. 

But even if I guess that he might like me, I don't know for sure and I ain't gonna go up to him and ask him. That'd be weird in any way- 

My phone buzzes, huh. Unknown number? 'Hey' who tf writes me now?
