Sticking with you (bxb)

Chapter 11

Gabe's pov

I was standing in the middle of the class looking for somewhere to sit. As I looked around, I spotted Alice and saw that she was sitting alone. I decided to sit next to her, it might be weird but I really wanted to talk to her.

Ι actually wanted to apologize for Jack because he could never come and do it  himself. What he did wasn't his best move

From the first moment my brother met Jack I knew I would be part of their group. I'm that kid who doesn't want to get into too much trouble, but the other two are just the opposite

Jack and Bruce always liked messing with other kids. They didn't do anything wrong, they just made them feel a bit uncomfortable for fun. I never understood them, but some students found it funny, some others loved being teased by the pretty boys

But the same is not the case for Arthur and his friends

They didn't laugh or start giggling whenever one of the boys could tease them and that didn't go unnoticed. I remember exactly their words "We like challenges". So they started going after Arthur and his friends. The other students were already forgotten

But yesterday Jack went too far. I could see it was making Arthur extremely uncomfortable and I was a little angry with him. Afterwards, I understood why he did it, but then again, everyone was talking about what happened and I know it's possible that Arthur doesn't like it

But again that's my opinion. It may not have bothered Arthur at all, but I felt like I should at least apologise.

I took a deep breath and crossed the classroom. When I got to the desk Alice didn't seem to notice me due to the fact that she was looking out. I dropped my school bag and looked around, maybe this wasn't the best place to talk. I had second thoughts about getting up and leaving to go to another desk, but then I got this feeling that someone is watching me

When I turned around I saw Alice looking at me in shock with wide eyes and her mouth hanging open. After a few seconds of awkward I could tell eye contact she turned to the window looking out again. I could talk to her but then Mrs. Grant walked into the classroom. "Good morning" was the first thing she said and after greeting her she started taking

During class I turned to look at Alice, hoping to see those beautiful eyes again, but she seemed to be focused on something else, so I sighed and looked at Mrs Grant. While I was trying to listen to her I couldn't help but think that we would be good friends with Alice or even more. I sighed more quietly and I don't think anyone heard me

Damn you Jack and Bruce, you and your fun

I was lost in my thoughts until I heard the bell. I saw all the kids running around while Alice did things at her own pace. She stood up and waved to Mrs. Grant as she left the classroom and I knew this was my chance

Now or never

I couldn't forget the way I run to her, the feel of my hand on her shoulder, how she turned and we stared at each other. I remember all her expressions, her curiosity, her murmur, her hands on my shoulders, her voice and finally after what felt like hours I apologized to her

I was nervous

At first, I couldn't form words. It wasn't difficult and yet I felt like I was going to die. I don't know the exact reason. Maybe it was guilt or because it was the first time I spoke to her properly

At first, she was confused, I could see it in her eyes but she never said nothing in reply and I wanted to hear what she thought about all of this

We were sitting in silence but finally she spoke. I knew she was searching for the right words. "Are you apologizing?" she asked looking at me, looking really confused "about Arthur" she added while raising her eyebrows after a few seconds of silence

"Yeah" i said looking at her and then i explained that what jack did wasn't good but the only thing was for her to smile at me and I stopped talking

It caught me off guard

"That's sweet of you but you don't have to mind at all" she said still smiling "Arthur was annoyed at first but he's better now" I was kind of happy to hear that. I wanted to talk to her some more but from the way her foot started hitting the floor I could feel something like nervousness and anxiety maybe railing from her.

She seemed to be in hurry

"Actually I'd like to talk to you more but I have to go get my books so I guess see you" she finished with the question painted on her face.We looked at each other for a moment before she backed away still looking at me as she couldn't believe what just happened then she turned and left. I could picture her expression in my head

Did she really want to talk to me more?

When she was out of sight I realized I was standing alone in the hallway, smiling like an idiot

I sighed, feeling relieved. It didn't go as I had planned but at least I tried and achieved something

I smiled to myself and headed to my locker, assuming it literally wouldn't be long until the bell rang. I took a deep breath as I walked

Now I just had to find a way to tell the other two what I did

Easy, I hope

I hope you liked it

Leave comments so I know what you liked and what you didn't.❤️

Goodbye!
