To my dear abhorment //dnf

apology

"Clay!" nick comes out of class "hey, what's up?" i say. "what is wrong with you!" he says "huh?"

"what are you talking about?" i ask "why did you do that to George?!" he angrily asks
"oh-"

"because of you! Karl doesn't wanna hang out with me.." he says "I'm sorry- i didn't mean to let that happen." i apologise.

nick stays quiet.

"it will settle down in a few days, don't worry." I put my arm around him and walk outside.
There i meet Karl's eyes, that are trying to kill me.

"you already heard what happened to George?" I ask Nick "what?" he asks annoyed.
"His sister cut her wrist open." i tell him, he stops walking.

"did you tell anyone?" he asks "you're the first." i tell him. "don't tell anyone else dude. It must be really hard for him-"

"i won't." i laugh as i sit down next to Mark and Lukas.
"looks like our George isn't in school today." Lukas laughs, "Come on- shut up." nick says.

"why do you defend George so much?" Mark suddenly asks "do you have feelings for him?" he laughs.

I look up to nick.

"yes." he says, my eyes wide "what-"
"you heard me. I've feelings for George, and i don't want you guys to bother him." nick says.

"so you're gay?" Mark asks "I don't know what I am." he says. "George? out of all people in this world, you feel something for George?" i say.

"yes! are you deaf or something?" he says
"well, i won't stop bothering him-" Lukas says "same goes here." Mark says and both of them look at me.

I look up to nick, that's waiting for an answer.
"It doesn't have anything to do with you, so George won't think bad of you." i say with a smile.

"are you seriously?" he says "nick look-" i start, but he cuts me off. "nah, don't even start. talk to me when you're in your right place." he says and leaves.

I sigh and let my head fall down on the table.
"nick is weird-" mark laughs, i look up and meet his eyes.

"you're weird. have you ever looked in the mirror?" i say "what-" i cut him off "oh right, the mirror breaks before you can see yourself. why? cause you are that ugly." I get up and leave.

"nick!" i shout as i pull him "what? what do you want this time?"
"look- Georeg and I are 'enemies'. I can't suddenly be nice to him or ignore him- that's not how it works." I say.

"I always hated him and he hated me. It's nothing new, it's been years like this. George won't hate you just because i say or do something."

"it's still not nice what you did-" he says "he deserved-" nick cuts me off "he did not! three against one! that's fucking unfair dude!"

i stay quiet.

"If you want to beat him up, give him at least a chance to fight back." he says and leaves again.

"nick!"

"Good Morning guys." mr Taylor says as he enters the classroom.

"I've very exciting news for you guys-" he starts "we'll be going on a one week school trip to Germany!"

everyone starts to cheer up as mr Taylor smiles at us. "you guys will continue to work on your worksheet and I'll be talking to clay for a minute." he says as he looks at me.

I get up and walk outside, getting followed by mr Taylor. "soo, since you and George don't get along together, mrs smith decided to put you two in a room-" he starts.
