unloved weapon

find him/her

It's been about three days since I lastly talked to Clay. He has been ignoring me so I stopped trying after a while.

Instead of focusing on him, I got better with tic. we were great friends before that, but now we got even closer than before.

both, tic and I, decide to try and find out who send that voice message to Clay.

our first person is Karl.

"why would I?" Karl looks confused at us "because you were against it since the moment I told you about it." I say.

"that's true- but only because it was wrong." he says "you got it now, right? that you were in the wrong." he adds.

"yeah.." I mumble.

"I didn't like the idea, but I would never betray your trust." he smiles at me "sorry." I awkwardly smile at him back.

"It's alright. good luck finding the person, it sure will be hard." Karl laughs before going back to nick.

I turn around to tic.
"I don't Know." he says "the second one I would guess is Nick." tic looks over there.

"Nick?" I say "why would nick do that?"
"cause clay and nick are friends, duh?" he makes as he walks over to nick.

"you guys wanna ask nick now?" Karl laughs "yep!" tic laughs a little.

"about the thing with Clay?" nick asks Karl and he gives him a small nod.
"If I would've known about this, I would've told him in the face." nick says.

"and I would've told everyone, not just clay. I would've had let you known that I told everyone."

"oh." tic makes and looks at me "it was a stupid idea to ask nick." I say "maybe.. but now we're down 2!" he smiles.

"you're an idiot." I shake my head as I walk away.

"I would say we asks clays friends first." tic says "but- how?" I turn my head to tic "if we keep going like this.. everyone will know what I did."

I kinda deserve that, I know.. but still.
does really everyone have to know?

"how else do you wanna find out who did it?" he asks "maybe.. you could talk to Clay." I smile at him.

"I don't Know if he tells me.. he surely saw us together." Tic says "you could try." I say "I mean I could.." he looks away.

"alright. I'm going to talk to him." he throws his arm around me "thanks!" I say with a smile on my lips.

Clay POV

later that day tic came to me again.
my anger went up, since he was the one telling me what George did, but he hangs out with him.

why was George such a bad friend for me, but not for him?

"how are you?" tic asks, I look at him, "is that a serious question?" I say "I just wanted to check on you." he lifts his hands.

"of course I don't feel good after finding out that a friend of mine used me?" I say to him as if he was stupid.

"hm.." he makes "sorry for you."
"yeah, yeah.. whatever." I mumble "focus on your real friends." he lays his hand on my shoulder.

I look over to him.
"How can you still be friends with someone like him?" I ask tic "well.." he breaths in "he didn't do that to me."

"but to me- how do you know that he isn't using you too." I say "cause I know George." tic says "I've been friends with him for a long time."

I stay quiet.

It's unfair.
I wanted to be George's friend.. maybe more than just his friend.

"you've nick and Karl. They'll stick to your side." he smiles at me "lets hope so." I joke around.

2.38pm

"what are you talking about?!" I hear nicks voice in the hallway. I open the door and look out, only to see nick, Karl and George arguing.

"fuck off! I know that you said it!" George shouts back. "why the hell are you guys shouting?" I ask Nick.

"because he accuses me of telling you about his plan!" Nick turns to me "what- who told you that?" I look at George.

I watch how his anger calms down and his cheeks get red.

"I have my sources." he mumbles as he looks away from me "it wasn't nick." I say, George stays quiet.

"how do you even come to think of it?" Karl asks George "because he told me. I know that you told Nick and nick told clay." George suddenly says to Karl.

"what?" nick says.

"who told you that crap?" I look confused at him, but George stays quiet again while Karl and Nick talk.

"shush!" I say "who told you that?" I ask him again "I can't say.." he mumbles "the only two people who know are me and the person who told me that." I tell George.

George keeps his face as it was for a few minutes, but it suddenly changed.

he looks up to me.

"did tic tell you?" he asks me "what?" escapes my mouth. "Tic told you! didn't he!" George ironically laughs.

he turns with anger around and starts to walk away. I look at nick and Karl "i think we should follow him-" nick says.

"you asshole!" George storms into tics room and grabs his hair "ah- what!" tic shouts before getting a punch from George in the face.

"oh-" nick shouts.

"Is it a good idea to leave them fight?" I ask Karl "I don't think so-" he says.
"burn in hell!" George shouts before punching Tic in the stomach.

"wow- alright, no-" I quickly pick George away "I'm not done with you!" he shouts "I thought you were my friend!"

George is stronger than he looks- I gotta admit that.
"a little help wouldn't be bad." I smile at nick "oh- right." he quickly helps me

"what did I do!" Tic shouts but we just walk off and leave him there with a red cheek.

"damn George." Nick laughs "my hand hurts-" George mumbles. "how did you know?" I ask George "hm?" he turns to me.

"how did you know that tic told me?" I ask
"because I told tic to ask you." he looks away "I said he should ask you who told you and then he told me that Karl told nick and nick told you. so I picked one piece with the other." he tells me.

"oh.."

"I think now it's the right time for you to listen to George." Karl smiles at me, I look over to George but he doesn't say anything, he just stares at me.

"I guess.." I mumble
"alright we are leaving you guys alone. solve it in the good way." nick laughs before walking off with Karl.

I actually hoped that George would ask me to listen to him again, but he didn't.
he gave up the more he saw that I was ignoring him.

"so.." George starts but when I look into his eyes again, he looks away.

"uhm- okay." he takes a deep breath.

"at first I wanted to use you for grades.. that was my first plan." he mumbles "but the more time I spend with you, the more I started to like you." he looks to me.

"I said to me that I can be your friend and get your help at the same time." he explains "I'm sorry, I know it was wrong."

"It was pretty stupid of you." I say "and shitty too."
"I don't think I can trust you that fast, cause it could be an excuse you made up." I look away from him.

"It's not-" he starts but I cut him off "but I still forgive you." I look back to him and see a smile on his lips.
