We're just friends, right?

Chapter 1: Starburst

"Will this be a fun lesson today?" Logan asked loudly in my ear as we walked into the science lab/classroom. I flinched in disgust at his ugly face and high pitched, annoying voice. I go and stand behind my chair and wait for the teacher to tell us to sit down.

"Everyone can sit down," Mr Thompson tells us as he walks into the classroom. He takes out his computer and logs into it to bring up the roll. "Everyone be quiet and say here when I say your name."

Mrs Hirons walks into the science room and shuts the door of the classroom. Almost not a minute later the door opens to Charlie and Lucas, they start to walk in.

Sir was writing on the whiteboard about what we were doing today when the two people walked in, he seems to have eyes in the back of his head because he doesn't even turn around when he questions them coldly, "Did you knock?" The lab when went quiet so we all see what happens with to them.

"No, we didn't," Charlie answers him for them . Mr Thompson looks at Mrs Hirons and they both nodded at each other and Sir wrote their names on the board.

"Come in, but next time please knock if you late," Mrs Hirons tells them in front of the lab to grab what seems the things we need for the class. Maybe we're doing a prac.

I continue listening to Starbucks rant about these two people at school that piss them off so much about getting their pronouns wrong and think they wanted to date them.

I see out of the corner of my eye, Oliver and his crew laughing about something.They're probably making fun of someone, which is probably that new person that we have been told about.

"Hey, are you listening to me or what?" Starbucks asks, knocking me out of my thoughts. They start getting out their iPad the school gifted to us back in year seven. "If you're not going to listen to me I'm going to figure out how to get on the dark web," they tell me as they open their iPad and start to hack into it.

"You do you, I guess," I dismissed them as I get out my iPad too and start to play Cool_games.

After we play for awhile Mr Thompson interrupts us and tells us to get off our devices. Then goes into full context about what we're doing for the lesson turns out we're doing a practical experiment involving what we know about rocks and the different types of rocks.

As Sir finished explaining the lesson, the door opens to Ms Peet and a person with rainbow hair. The person looks about 6 feet maybe shorter. His rainbow hair sits on his shoulders or just above it hard to see from where I sit.

"Mr Thompson, this is your new student, Starburst." Ms Peet tells Sir while gesturing to the boy in front of her now. Ms Peet walks in with the boy on her heels. When they come in she turns to the boy and announced that she was leave to go to the office to do her job.

When Ms Peet leaves Sir tells him to do an introduction. My thoughts went wild, I start to question whether he would be my friend or whether he'll support me? Wait when did I start questioning my sexuality? I'm fucking straight.

"ISAAC, PAY ATTENTION!" Sir yells at me, causing me to be knocked out of my thoughts. "Please put your hand up so Starburst can sit down."

I put my hand straight up in the air so he could sit down. He walks towards me and sits in the spot to the right to me that was left deserted since Oliver moved to sit next to his friends. I hear a quiet voice next to me say quietly, "That not my name, dumbass."

Starburst brushes his hair out of his face gently, looking ahead at the teacher, seemingly annoyed, but I couldn't stop looking at him. He was...really fucking pretty. Starburst seemed to notice me staring at him, as he turned his deep purple eyes towards me.

"What's up...?" Starburst asked, tucking his curly hair behind his ear, revealing a black stud at the lobe of his ear. My shoulder's tensed quickly, my face hot with embarrassment.

"Oh, uh, sorry!" I swiftly glanced down at my hands, them clenched tightly on the table. Starburst tapped the table to get my attention.

"What's your name?" He asked, and when I looked up at him, he was smiling warmly at me, making more flustered.

"Uh, Isaac."

"Hello, Isaac." Starburst's voice was soft and calm and sexy- what?

"HI!" I almost yelled, trying to dismiss my thoughts. What the fuck was I thinking? I shook my head quickly, as if that would stop my progressively confusing and sudden thoughts.

"Isaac, shut up, I'm trying to teach." Mr Thompson waved his marker in the air, and I muttered an embarrassed apology. This earned a quiet giggle from Starburst.

Starburst put his soft, warm hands on my arm, "You have to be more quiet than that." I sighed slightly, my eyes trailing up his arm. "You're funny." Something about him complimenting me made my face become hot. What was happening to me? Was I having a stroke?

"Thanks, I guess," I replied in whisper. Starburst squeezed my arm in reply, then got back to his book and picked up his pen.
