I woke up to Seth shaking me and I groaned. "What!?" I snapped and he sighed. "Wake up dude. We're going to night classes to help out with something." Josh said and I groaned sitting up. "Are you serious?" I asked and they nodded. "Let's go then." I got up and walked out of my room.
We got to our college and walked through the doors to the gym and see a bunch of teens. Professor Marston walked up to us and guided us to a group of people. That's when I noticed who the people were. Sam, Jake, Corey, Mike, Kevin, Elton, Tara, and Devyn. I looked at Seth and Josh and groaned. "Are you fucking serious!?" I asked and they nodded. "Yes. NOW WE NEED TO GET WORK." Josh yelled and they group looked over. "Colby?" Seth asked and I stood there frozen. "Colby!" He yelled but I couldn't move. "COLBY BROCK." Josh yelled in my ear and I flinched with a wince. "Sorry sorry! Are you okay?" He asked and I glared at him then walked to the group. "Hi.." I muttered and Tara smile at me. "Hey, Colby!" She said and I looked at her confused. "How do you know me?.." I asked and she chuckled. "We have classes together." She said and I muttered 'oh' then looked down. "Are you okay?" Sam asked me, putting his hand on my shoulder and I flinched slightly, being startled. "F- fine..." I responded and we walked down a empty hallway towards the huge closet in the cafeteria.
"Holy shit! There's a bunch of stuff in here!" Corey said and I just nodded. Seth pulled me out of and I looked at him. "What?" I asked and he sighed. "You need to get to helping and not standing in the corner." He said and I nodded as I went back in the closest. "Hey, Colbs!" Josh said and everyone looked at me. "I can't do this.." I whispered to Seth and he sighed. "Alright, I'll drive you home and come back after." He said and looked at everyone. "I have to take Colby home, he isn't feeling well." He said and dragged me out. I sighed as we went out the door in the cafeteria and started walking to his car. "I'll have to make this quick, I have to get back." Seth said and I nodded.
Once I got inside I ran into my room and locked the door. I threw myself on my bed and grabbed my phone out. I saw a message on Instagram from 'Tarayummy'. I open it
TaraYummy
Hey, I was wondering why you left? Is it because of Sam?
I left it on read. I didn't feel like responding to anything or anyone, no matter who it is. I held my knees to my chest and just started crying. I don't know what happened, but seeing Sam, my idol, acting as if nothing happened after what happened yesterday, it hurt me. I don't know why, but it did. I kept crying like that for hours, that's when my phone flashed and I saw a notification from Instagram, I don't know what it said but all I saw was Sam Golbach.
(SG- Sam Golbach CB- Colby Brock)
SG- Hey, Colby. Your sister DMed me saying she heard you crying, are you okay?
CB- Oh. Uhm, yeah. I was just feeling really emotional
SG- You sure?
CB- Yup
I put my phone down and let out a long sigh. I wiped my tears and decided to go for a walk. And just perfect for me, I saw Sam walk right passed my house. I let out a loud groan and he looked behind him. "Fuck" I muttered as he noticed me and waved. "Hey, Colby!" He said and I just walked past him. "Colby-" I sighed. "Can you stop acting like we're friends? I'm nothing like you. We could NEVER be friends. And there's two reasons. One, I'm not that lucky, and two, the friendship wouldn't last long because of my own issues." I said and he just stared at me. "I was just gonna ask what you were doing out so late." He said and I froze. "Oh- sorry! I don't even know why I said that! Uhm.. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings- fuck I'm sorry I wasn't thinking when I said that." I slurred out quickly and he laughed a little. "It's alright, Anyways uhm- I was wondering if you knew Katrina Stuart?" He asked me and I shook my head. "Weird, cause she definitely knows you." He said and I laughed. "We have all of our classes together. But I don't actually know her." I explained and he nodded. "Well, I have to get back to my house." He said and I nodded, waving him off.
"Ughh, this is so embarrassing!!" I yelled and Evan looked at me. "What is?" She asked and I sighed. "Being in love with Sam even though I don't know him!" I replied and she clicked her tongue. "You know, I could always have Katrina give me his number for you." She said and I looked at her in disbelief. "You know her!?" I asked and she nodded. "She's my ex, yet we're still on great terms." She said and I groaned. "Do what you wanna do." I said and she chuckled. "Good, cause I'm going to." She said. A few minutes later Evan grabbed my phone and I looked up at her. "What are you doing!?-" I asked and she laughed. "I'm putting his number in your phone dumbass!" She said and I eased a little then tensed. "WHAT!?" I yelled and she laughed. "Calm down gay boy." She said and I glared at her. "Oh shut up gay girl." I said and she gasped dramatically. "I'M OMNISEXUAL WITH A PREFERENCE FOR GIRLS!" She yelled and I groaned. "WELL DON'T TELL EVERYONE YOU'RE GAY THEN-" I yelled back and she stared at me. "Fair." She said and I laughed a little.
"Well, here's your phone back." She said and I took it. "Hey, thanks for that, sis." I said as she smiled then walked out. There's no way I'm ever texting him. I thought and laid down, soon falling asleep.
