The Bet

Chapter One

When I walked into school on Monday I saw Parogan standing at my locker. Parogan is the three biggest playboys in our school and town.. maybe even state. There's Patton, Roman, and Logan, but none of my friends refer to them as their names because they're never not together.
When I started walking closer to them Patton winked at me while Roman started flexing "casually", and Logan grinned kindly. I automatically turned around walking off. I realized what they were doing. I was shocked, however, since I know that they are all straight. I quickly race to my best friend Janus.
Janus and his boyfriend Remus were chilling by his locker looking into each other's eyes lovingly. When I run up to them they snap out of their trance and look at me confused. "P-parogan—" I say wheezing and blushing past my foundation. I cough slightly and continue as they look at me confused. "Parogan started flirting with me! ME!!" I almost yell in shock.
Remus rolls his eyes. "Of course, Roman is pulling this shit." Remus is Roman's little brother. They are practically identical. Except in personality, Roman is the "golden boy" while Remus is the one who his parents disapprove of most.
Janus starts laughing loudly. "I cannot believe your parenth golden boy is gay!" He says with his slurry voice. He quickly directs his attention to Remus's angry face. He quickly clears his face. "Baby, it's jutht a joke."
Remus quickly slicks back his hair. "I'm so sorry, Virgil." He coughs and grabs his bag off the ground. "Excuse me, darling, I'm gonna go knock some sense into Parogan." Janus quickly grabs onto him kissing his cheek and whispering in his ear. "Alright, alright," He finally says. "I won't do anything but seriously, Virgil, if they bother you too much please tell me and I'll put an end to it.
I nod and smile. "It's fine. It'll die down soon." He gives me a look of sympathy and I walk to class.

     The lunch bell rings and I quickly walk with my head down and earbuds in. I trip on a foot and start falling but get caught by 1/3 of Parogan... Logan.
    I clear my throat grabbing my things that fell around me. I nod and mumble a 'thanks' at him before rushing off. I run into the lunchroom and sit by my friend cursing under my breath.
    Janus looks up at me. "Dude, you look like thit." He says chuckling. I glare at him and he looks at Remus's angry look.
     He was looking directly behind me and I gulped not wanting to look. Suddenly someone sits next to me and I quickly look over and see Roman. He smiles at his brother then at Janus. They both look irritated at his existence. Roman looks at me finally and says, "Hello, anxious man."
     I furrow my eyebrows. Anxious man? What's that supposed to mean. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Remus asks with a hiss in his throat.
    Roman gently takes my hand kissing it lightly. I don't pull away because of the stun I feel. "Spending time with my little bro and his friends of course!"
     This sentence throws Remus into a horrible mood. He grabs me and Janus and pulls us away. He practically has a storm cloud over his head the rest of the day.
     At the end of the school day, I walk out after saying goodbye to my friends. Once I'm out the door I hear people whispering rumors and insults about me. Mostly about why Parogan would like me. I put my earbuds in but once outside I see all the boys revving up their sports cars waiting on me. They all try talking to me but I can't hear them with my earbuds in so I quickly walk home.
