Boys will be Boys

secret

me and Jake went to school the next day. I went up to my friends and I introduced them to Jake. Because he had no friends anymore, I told him he can sit with my friends. He got along really well with them. they talked for ages until class started. I had library monitor duties to go to on break so I hoped that my friends could take care of him. On second break my friends weren't where they usually were. I then got called to got to the office. All I could think was what the fuck did I do now. I sighed and walked to the office. I saw Alexa and Bella in the school nurse and Jake was with the principal. He was all bandaged up and sitting next to his friends. They were bandaged up too.

"What happened?" I asked sitting down
"well these boys say you and your friend beat up Jake" the principal says
"what I was in the library all break"
"no you weren't" they say
"I'm so confused?"
"well these boys say they saw you go into the bathroom"
"I needed to pee. Ask miss ledik"
"I will actually" the principal picked up the phone and called the library. The conversation was short. The principal put the phone down "so Harry you're off the hook, but your friends will still be in trouble"
"wait why- never mind" afterschool I met up with Jake. He looked scared
"what happened today?" I asked while walking home
"they said that if I told them off, they hurt me more than they did before. The only bad part is that them lifted up my sleeves, saw the scars and ran"
"holy shit do you think they'll tell anyone."
"they will tell the whole school, there fucked up"
"I swear if that happens ill kill them"
"you can't even pick up a rock"
"I so could, I'm just not that strong"
"mhm" we got home and Jake started doing homework and I texted Alex and Bella

Long story can't tell you rn.

Later me and Jake ordered dinner and fell asleep. We didn't talk much all night. The next day Alexa and Bella weren't at school, and I expected that, but everything was so boring. It was silent, Bella was always yelling, and Alexa was laughing and trying to calm her down. It felt wrong for them not to be here. Me and Jake were talking when his old friends came up to him again
"oi faggots" one of them said
"don't beat them up" Jake said to me
"I said I'm sorry" I say
"no you didn't,"
"I thought it"
"not the same"
"OI I'm talking to you two" his friends yelled
"sorry I forgot you were there continue" I say
"don't tell the principal who beat Jake up and don't except your little secret not to come out" he said pointing at Jake
"well if that happens, I might just have to tell the principal"
"you're going to regret it"
"why? Your gonna beat us up behind the school again, oh let's just do it right here in the middle of the oval"
"no, but I will tell them about your little relationship" me and Jake looked at each other
"what do you mean"
"I don't know you'll find out" they started walking away and me and Jake looked at each other. We were confused.
