Ashton pov

[Thursday]

"Alright, class today we will be starting a new lesson. We will be learning about the Wonderful world of Pi" My math teacher says with full enthusiasm but the class was not feeling any of it. Everyone looked burnt out. And summer break was just a touch away. It's so close we could feel it.

In the middle of our lesson there was a huge slam coming from outside the classroom waking everyone up.

"Yo! There's a fight outside!" One of the kids yelled. Tamara and I looked at each other then we shoot up from our seats to check it out. Even though I absolutely hate violence, it's probably the most exciting this that has been happening all day.

"Hey Ashton I think its your brother!" One student said. I shot up from my seat, pushed everyone a way from the door so I could see. When I looked outside it was Thomas and some guy from his class. But Thomas was winning. I guess those recent boxing lessons our parents let him take paid off. Even though he got hit still.

"Thomas Anderson and Calvin Taylor get off each other right now!" A teacher yells from their class room. One of the male teachers jump in and pulls them apart like it was light weight. As I looked out of the door I meet my brother gaze then he tuned away as if he didn't notice me.

"Ok class enough looking, let's get back to the lesson."

I turned away from the door and I felt my heart sink to the stomach. I've never seen him like this, not my brother. It was like he was a whole new person. He was enraged, pissed, like he just got bad new about something. I just couldn't focus after witnessing what just happened.

Thomas pov

[30 minutes before the fight]

While sitting in class minding my own business listen to music. From the corner of my eye I noticed few kids pointing and laughing at something in front of them. It was a bit distracting.

"Hey Thomas?" I hear Carlos call me as he sat next to me doing his work.

"What's up?" I ask pulling my head phones away from my ear.

"Can I see your notes?"

"Sure." I headed he my notes. Then I noticed the laughing get louder and our teacher wasn't in the room.

"Hey, Thomas! How do you feel knowing that your brother is gay?" One of the guy said laughing I pretending that I didn't hear it. I put my head phones on and kept doing my work minding my own business. "Did you hear me? Are you one too?" The guys continue to laugh.

I suddenly felt a paper hit me in the head then landed on my desk. I took off my buds and noticed the paper. And those same idiots start laughing again. "Open it and see for yourself!"

Carlos looks over a sees the balled up paper. He takes it off my desk then curiously begins to open it. I tried to not look because I didn't care. When he opens it he lets out a gasp then taps me on the arm.

"Thomas, you have to see this."

"I don't care, I don't wanna see it." I refused.

"But Thomas..."

I looked down and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. It's a drawing of Ashton and Devin... I looked at it trying to brush it off. But inside I was pissed.
