Justin's p.o.v

It was the beginning of the day as me and my friend sat down at our table, waiting for class to start. I grabbed my bag that was lying next to me, pulled out my notes for class along with my sketchbook as I started to draw. A few minutes passed by and the kids in my class started filling the small classroom. I avoided eye contact with anyone but my best friend James considering he was the only person I trusted, besides I wasn't really much of a people person either.

I looked over at the slightly taller boy that had been my best friend for as long as I can remember, he laid his arm on the table, resting his head on his hand as he scrolled through his phone.

He has black messy hair with bright red highlights, wore black rimmed glasses  and had multiple piercings on his face, one piercing on each side of his bottom lip, his eyebrow one, along with his nose piercing he had on the side of his nose. He was born with something called Heterochromia where he has two different eye colors: his right eye is green, while his left eye is brown. He wore all black along with his fingerless gloves that kind of blended into his hair as he rested his head on his hand

Then there was me, I wasn't really anything special either, I was a normal looking person like everyone else, I wore my zipped up red jacket along with my black sweatpants and worn out converse that I've had for God knows how long, me and James wore glasses as well as I pushed them up a little bit up closer to my brown eyes as I was drawing, I pushed my brown shaggy, messy hair out of my face as it often covered some of my right eye most of the time, which was rather annoying but in a way I liked it that way.

As I started the sketch of my drawing, the teacher came in, closing the door behind her, addressing everyone up to go to their seat. The lesson went on as always with the teacher rambling on about God knows what as everyone in the classroom was barely paying attention except for like 2 people.

I look around the room and it was pretty much the typical cliche of every classroom of high school, I looked to the side to see two of the jocks sitting in weird positions while disrupting the class, wearing their football jerseys, talking to the two other football player in front of them as they teased each other and threw unnecessary comments to the teacher

I swear every time they do something like that, I can see James in the corner of my eye rolling his eyes, that was one of many things that I loved about him....

Then I looked over in front of us as the smart ones of the class, always taking notes, making an A+ on every single damn test we have, there was always this one girl that sat there that dressed very formally like she was going to go to a fancy dinner everyday after school it seemed like.

Then on the left side was the slackers of the class, not really much to say about them except ninety nine percent of the time they're asleep or they're just one their phones the entire time

Then there was us, me and James right in the middle of the class, we were considered the "freaks" or "The outcasts" of the school along with our other two friends that weren't in this class. Not many people liked us considering we were very shy and antisocial but that's just who we always were you know? Anyway, we didn't mind it, we just stuck to our own friends and just left it at that, except me and him were the targets for bullying on the daily basis but we pretty much got use to that by now

My thoughts were interrupted when I felt something light hit me on the side of my head, it was a piece of crumpled up piece of paper that said something on it but I didn't bother to see what. In the corner of my eye I saw the jocks silently giggling and pointing at me as I let my hair fall in my face again covering my red face from embarrassment

James p.o.v

I looked up as I heard something hit Justin's head and saw those assholes that were next to us laughing at Justin. He didn't do anything to show he was bothered by it but I could tell by his red face he wasn't happy. I glared at them while they were snickering as one of them saw and made some smart ass comment to me that made my fists turn white, I got in trouble for beating some of them up before I wasn't afraid to do it again.

After class was over with, me and Justin quickly got our stuff and headed to our next class, while in the hallway Justin looked over at me while I proceeded to put my phone back in my pocket.

"Hey.. James?" He asked in a quiet tone, I looked over "Yeah?" "Um.. l-last night I heard you throwing up in the bathroom, you were in there awhile and I just wanted to make sure you weren't sick" he asked concerned "I'm fine, don't worry, you worry too much" I brushed it off as a bad feeling developed inside of me and started taking over my mind in the process "Is he figuring out what's going on?.... I really hope not.. I don't want him to worry about me.... But I wonder what he thinks of it though...." he thought to himself

Justin's p.o.v

There was something going on with him.. I've noticed this is the second time this month this has happened.. I'm starting to get worried.. but I'll keep an eye on him in case it happens again.

As we were talking, one of the jocks whispered something to his girlfriend as he purposely bumped into me "What the hell is your problem?!" He snapped "I-I-I'm sorry Braxton, I-I didn't mean-" I stuttered as I got cut off "Well would you look who it is Brianna, surprised to see you two show your ugly queer faces around here" "The satan worshipper" he pointed over to James "And the quiet f*g boy" He pointed at me, as I felt my face turn red once again, Then all the sudden James grabbed my arm lightly "Come on, don't listen to these dumbasses" He said as he put his hand on my back and left "What did you call us?!" Braxton shot towards us, James rolled his eyes, before he could do anything to them, the teacher walked by and told him and Brianna to get to class "Ugh whatever" They both left finally after that.

James p.o.v

At the end of the day, I waited in the math wing hallway to meet up with Justin so we could go home, it was also close to my little sister, Sera's class was, somehow her only being a Sophomore and Justin and I are Juniors, her and her best friend Alex always seemed to get classes that were close to ours, we also drove him home as well, but we didn't mind, Alex was our friend too, Pretty nice and relaxed guy, they've known each other since 3rd grade, and have been close ever since.

As I was scrolling through songs on my phone and Sera and Alex were giggling about something, Justin came up to us, ready to leave, "Hey Justin I need to show you something" Alex said as he couldn't contain his laughter from whatever the heck that was on his phone him and Sera were laughing at, He looked over at her and saw she was laughing as well "Oh gosh" He said making them laugh even more, I rolled my eyes with a slight smile on my face as we all walked out.

When we got home after dropping Sera and Alex off at his house, we came in through the front door, seeing Justin's older brother Ryan and his girlfriend, Jess sitting on the couch watching their favorite tv shows, "Hey guys!" Jess exclaimed happily "How was school?" Ryan added on, sounding equally happy "It was good" Justin said as he put his bag down next to the door "Good" I said as I pushed my glasses up.

Ryan was Justin's older brother, For the time that I've known him and Jess, they were the kindest people I've ever met, him and Jess really were made for each other, both really happy and optimistic people, always willing to help others, they were both pretty geeky as well, having a lot of stuff in common. Ryan was pretty much the brother I've never had and pretty much the only parent figure in mine and Sera's life, pretty much taking care of both of them for most of their lives, more than our actual parents ever did.
