Fearless ✔️

Chapter 19

"God this team is full of rednecks" Taylor scoffs leaning against the fence. The final quarter was almost over and then game over and we're free.

"Look at our best friend leading the team" Jules coos as I lean against the fence even more. Best friend. Yeah best friend. Friend? Are we friends. Fuck buddies? We cuddled earlier this week. He said he like me. Still are we friends?

Life is so confusing. Like I don't even know how to be in a relationship. I don't even know how to be a friend. I should just get over these people and leave them. I still don't know what's going on at the house.

"Dean let's go" her voice isn't even what took me out of my thoughts it was when her fingers intertwined with mine. Taylor's eyes widen as she stared at our hands.

She looks at me and tries to signal something with her eyes but I didn't exactly know what's was going on. We walked past the student section of the opposing team making our way back to our side again. Something we had done multiple times.

Jules kept her hand in mine and honestly I liked it, but in a friend way. I knew she thought of it more in a relationship way and that's what was fucked up. It really was going to fuck this up. Great now I'm angry.

"Hey emo!" "Emo!" "Goth boy!" The yelling brought me out of my angry thoughts and the way Taylor and Jules had stopped walking held me back too.

I didn't realize they were talking to me until I actually stopped to look at them. Most of their eyes were on me. They were already laughing before taking a hand and pretend to cut up their arms.

I didn't react as Jules gasped and Taylor started to practically shake from anger. "That's not appropriate" I call up to them and they seem to be annoyed by my lack of reaction. I myself have never hurt myself but still they shouldn't be making fun of something so serious.

"Little goth boy has no emotions" one pretends to cry in an attempt to mock me in some way? It's not my fault I look hot in black. "Shut up" Jules snaps squeezing my hand. "You shut it Barbie!" A boy stands causing his friends to be louder.

Once again not her fault she looks hot in pink. "I think you guys need to go back home and take a nap you're a little cranky" I chuckle loudly before walking us away. I put a hand on Taylor's upper back to not make her uncomfortable but trying to usher her away.

"Freak!" Somebody yells and I turn my head back to let them hear me better. "At least if I had a mullet it'd actually look good!" I smile happy with the way they all reacted because I had just called out more than half of their school.

I listened to the steps as people started to storm down the bleachers but when I looked back there were teachers yelling and pointing back up the steps as disappointed kids stepped back up.

When we made it back to our side we stood against the fence watching the time slowly count down from one minute. I swear there was some sort of foul thing ever two seconds. Jules squeezed my hand again and that's when it hit me.

"Are you guys okay?" That didn't scare me but that must have terrified them. They both nod watching the game. "A little terrifying-" Taylor cuts herself off clutching her heart.

"I think you should take Barbie as a compliment" I chuckle to Jules while also looking to Taylor and making sure she was actually okay. Fuck I'm to far into this friend thing. If I lose them now I really am going to go... all depressing.

Finally there's the buzzer and the game is over. Our side erupts into cheers from winning by a measly 6. I let go of Jules hand not wanting to make this look bad.

We all waited for Lloyd to get done with his team meeting thing. A pep talk in the center. When they were finished he came running over with a big cheesy smile. Jules threw herself onto him telling him good job. "I'm gonna go home now, I'll see you Monday!" She smiles and Taylor does the same since they rode together. Which meant I had to leave because I also rode with them.
