Teenage Tragedy

chapter 6

Venue : Boys locker room , Horizon high.

" For the nth time Sam , NO ! " River dramatically replied . He was sorting out his clothes as all the students were preparing for gym class in the changing rooms.

" But one night wouldn't kill you ! C'mon dude , you can leave on Saturday . " Sammy whined as his request for a sleepover gets denied again.

He's been stressing on this sleepover since the morning . The guy hasn't had one since he was 11 as that's when his social anxiety issues starting acting up to the max but now that he has found a genuine friend again his desperation is seeping through and River is being bugged over and over again.

River however is avoiding this innocent request because he himself isn't sure about how he will be received in that rich household. The idea of the possible inquiry about their younger child's only friend's family background by Sammy's parents is something that gets him riled up .

*Knock*

This was followed by utter silence. The teacher was here. And the strict man , already tired of the annoying brats was not looking happy at all.

" Get your asses to the ground , right now ! We don't have all day -

" Mr. Carter excuse me but you got something I own here . " Draven said in the most insincere tone. Confident like he was talking to one of his mates. Like he didn't just crash into a changing room .

Lucas and Zane were standing at the entrance too like they owned the place. The 5'10 teacher looking a bit small infront of a bunch of 6'3 brats.

" Mr. Gray , firstly being a senior student you should know that it is not very appropriate for you to barge into the sophomore changing room without permission. " Mr. Carter started, sounding sick and tired as if he has said that multiple times already . The so called strict teacher had given up on straightening out these seniors in the freshmen year itself or more like was forced to give up .

Discipline could go fuck itself if it came at the expense of his job. The teacher thought in his mind , recalling events of Lucas and Draven blackmailing him for his extra marital affair with the English teacher , Ms. Kelly which was obviously against the school policies.

" And please be a little more precise on what you're aiming for ." He completed.

Everyone else had assumed that the trio was here to pickup the fourth member of the gang , yes Xander Reid , who was silently watching everything from the corner . He knew they weren't here for him.

" Oh there you are! " Draven exclaimed when he spotted his prey. Without caring for the permission from the teacher , he started moving towards River to catch him by the back of his collar , like one would do to a stubborn child.

" C'mon pet we're gonna play fetch . " He muttered the last part in River's ears .

" Stay the fuck away from me ! this is kidnapping ! " River yelled as he elbowed Gray's stomach to get away from his grip on his arm. They were currently in the swimming pool area . Standing under the shed.

" Stop squirming around , fuck ! can you stand still for a moment ?! " Draven growled , sounding genuinely pissed. The wrath and irritation laced in his voice making River stop immediately. The giant hand wraped around River's shoulder to keep him in his place suddenly felt way more tighter . The amber eyes colder than ever.
