IRL & call

Sage had been lead in bed for around 3hours. Ignoring texts and watching as many rom-con clips as possible to remind themselves how gross relationships were.

all it did was make Sage want nothing more than to be snuggled up in Ethans hoodie while watching the films with him and discussing books. Pumpkin however provided a great company of laying on their lap and turning their blanket orange with fur. but it wasn't ethan. they wanted their ethan. what?! "their ethan" ... EW! gross. While Sage was trying to forget Ethan, Ethan was worrying for Sage. They hadn't replied when Ethan spammed. normally by text 7 they reply with atleast an "stfu". but nope. nothing. not even read

so when it came lunch time for him, he immediately rushed towards the person who disliked him most.
"Tao! Tao!" he yelled at the bench of 3 boys. those being tao, charlie and isaac. all 3 turned their heads. charlie looking confused, isaac to consumed in his book to respond but clearly listening and tao grimacing at him.

"what? you heathen" tao hissed at the taller boy as he approached the bench out of breath. you'd think for a rugby player he could run better? he was to consumed in worry to care at that point

"is sage ok? i texted and nothing? have they texted you? should i call? what if they got detention from that bitchy english teacher again! god i hate her. never even met the bitch and hate. she still calls Sage ... you know? I hate her. do you think she was hassling them again?!" he rambled. he tended to ramble about Sage. Charlie smiled at him. if he ... a rugby lad ... could be so caring why does nobody believe nick is also!

"They went home. Threw up" Isaac replied not looking up from his book once. he sensed the confused looks from the other 2boys sat down. "Elle texted ... groupchat?" he said as if obvious.

"oh. are they ok?" Ethan rushed out in a panicked state. "fine. why do you care?" tao questioned expectantly at him.

"just checking. bye guys" he immediately dashed away towards bathroom where he could call Sage privately.

After checking for people he clicked there instagram and called.

Sage wasn't expecting the sudden noise, causing them to squeal. SHIT! Ethan. who they were trying to ignore.

UNDERLINED IS WHOS TALKING & BRACKETS IS THOUGHTS

Sage: hey? (act natural)
Ethan: hi. isaac said you were sick
Sage: oh yeah. (god what will get him to go)
