Why Don't We Just Get Along

rumors spread.

Someone pokes my shoulder and I turn around to see its Gina
"What do you want? " I asked the annoying girl because right now I am not in the mood.

Nates POV

I wait for a answer from her. "Well... Uh Nate. I just wanted to know... How have you been doing?" She asks not even looking at me, "uh I've been doing... Alright so far" I respond,she finally looks up but not look at my eyes instead my nose down to my lips I don't think she notices I know what she is doing. "A-ah well that's good, I just wanted to know if there was uh... Something you needed help on or something and maybe we can do it together." She says and I hesitate, what am I supposed to do in this situation? I just give out a sigh "yeah sure,it would help me more" I say. God damnit please don't tell me I screwed up.. "Oh! Uh, okay, wow uh yeah alright just say whenever You need! " she says and quickly rushes away,I think I did something wrong.

I grab my things and stuffs them in my bag before closing my locker but just as I turn I accidentally bump into someone"ow! What the fuck do you want aga-"I say thinking it was Gina but instead I see it's Randy"oh Randy.. "I say but Randy just grabs my wrist and drags my to the boys bathroom and threw me to the sink while also letting my wrist go " woah!".randy and I sit on the sink and kept quiet before Randy says something I wish he didn't "someone heard your friends talk about our accident and rumors started spreading." he says "I heard someone tell our history teacher about it." He added and I didn't have a response, literally what are you supposed to say to that?? Thank god I didn't have to respond but the announcement went on "I would like to see Nate Wright and Randy Betancourt, I would like to see Nate Wright and Randy Betancourt please thank you" the announcement went off.
Me and Randy looked at each other.

We are screwed.

It took me a bit to convince Randy to go out with me, he was worried someone was going to see us together and say we did it again but I told him nobody was around. We both go to the office and get told to go the the principals office, as we go in we see the principal in her chair waiting for us to sit down , and we do so.
"What is it that I am hearing around the school? are y'all in a relationship? " she asks and when I try to speak Randy tries to speak to, so we both get quiet. "And why must y'all do it in the school bathroom. We've gotta tell your parents about this , this was very inappropriate behavior" that's when Randy stepped in "NO! NO okay listen what happened was that Nate gotten scared and slipped into the toilet and asked me to help which I gladly did and it was hard to pull him out and each time I pull the water comes out so more water spilled out and I was close to slipping but Nate grabbed my arms and pulled me forward which got me confused and he told me why he did it and that other kid what's his name? " Randy asks me "Francis." "Yes and that Francis kid came in when we were in the worst position ever and ran away thinking he walked into something! " Randy finishes. It was a couple of seconds of silence before the principal talked to break the silence"and you have proof? "She says and Randy's pupils turned small as he gave out a frown, a very angry murderous frown. When he try standing up I knew what he was about to do so I pushed him back down, " no! "I whisper yell at him " Mrs we don't have proof, how the fuck can we have proof for someone falling into a fucking toilet"I say but realised my language wasn't going to help."well... Since y'all love giving me attitude I'm letting y'all have detention and a call home to y'alls parents"she says"this conversation is over, I'll meet y'all both in the detention room"she says and me and Randy get out angrily "what the fuck was that bitch expecting??? Toilet water on us still, this is fucking bullshit. " Randy whispers out to me and I just nod as we head to the detention room.

It's so quiet. There's nobody in the room and the only time another person,besides me and randy, comes in it's just work they're giving us and then leaves. I sigh as I sit in a chair were Randy sits next to since that's the only chair there. We sit in silence for a bit and when I put my head down to think I hear a small noise, it sounded like crying. I didn't know where it was coming from, but it wasn't far, and my ears were right because it sounded next to me so when I lifted my head and turn I just see Randy trying to hold in tears "hey what are you crying about, aren't you use to this? " I say and he just swallows before answering "well it's no-not about this stupi-d detention it's just th-that they won't have my parents to c-all" he says through his small inhales and sobs. "But that's good your parents won't answer, right? " I say and Randy just looks down "my parents kicked me out o-f my ho-use , said I was doing no-thing but getting in trouble and making the-m deal with it, said I was a disappointment. And my parents deleted their information from my profile so they can't reach them... And just calling them would make me feel like my parents were right, I am always getting in trouble, I am a disappointment.... "He says now the tears are dripping. I was in shock, so Randy did have something change... Something that was from his personal life...... I don't remember when I did it but suddenly I'm in his arms and he's hugging me putting his head on my hair I don't remember getting up and giving him a hug but whatever I guess. I rub his back and lay my head on his should as he does the same with my shoulder. The principal walks in and we don't let go of each other just because we wanna see if the principal was gonna separate us herself but she just chooses not to.
