School Start

Days went by and James' sore ass healed a bit. The guardians did little activities that helped the boys get closer, and it seemed to work. But now there was a very big issue to face. Something terrific. Something that made James want to cry his eyes out.

School.

James H A T E D school. He didn't do too bad in most of the subjects. He was actually interested in a few of them. He also got good handwriting and he was usually praised by his clean work. But oh boy how he hated just being in that building. And studying. And homework. And of course, teachers. He was really nervous about starting the school year again. He wantes to try and do good, but he wasn't sure of his capabilities.

It finally came the day he needed to start in the new school. The rest of the boys had all been going there for a while, and they were going to walk with him there. Carter and Cameron had sat with him and talked about their expectations, and also explained a bit about the school. Not all the boys were in the year they were supposed to, mostly cause of a lot of movings and just not good grades. James had managed to pass all the years, and he was going to attend some classes with Ryan, Aleck and Nathan.

The rest of the boys were chill about starting again. Obviously not happy, but they didn't really care. Except from one of them.

Matthew's ADHD was sure going to do bad on him this year again. He refused to take meds cause he said it made him feel weird, and that decision was respected. He wasn't really hyper most of the time, it was more of the attention and concentration (or the non existent ones). He was shy, but when he was bored he ended up talking, a lot. And let's just say he didn't have a pretty mouth either, so if he was confronted he was most likely going to reply in a not very nice way. The thing is that Mattew was really smart. Gifted smart. So he always managed to have amazing grades. His issue was just class behavior.

Carter stopped him that morning before he went down for breakfast.

- Matt come here please - the boy was scared to say the least. Carter WAS scary even without trying. - I need to talk to you for a sec. You are not in trouble, don't worry.

- O-okay - the boy stuttered.

- This school year we are going to work different. I'm not letting your amazing brain go to waist because of your naughty mouth. I'm going to leave you alone about school, until you mess up once.

Matt's eyes widened in fear

- Yes Matthew, only one chance. If you get in trouble in school, I will check on your work every day, I will get in contact with your teachers to make sure I know ANYTHING that happens in any class, and you will get a nice bedtime spanking for a week.

- what?? No, no, Carter you can't be serious about this, I can't

- You heard me Matthew. You will get my belt the first day too. And the control will keep going until I can trust you behaving again. Understood?

Matt didn't want to believe what he was hearing. He wasn't gonna make it alive that year. But of course, he had no option.

- Yes sir.

Carter smiled at the boy before going downstairs leaving the poor teen still shocked.

It was definitely going to be a long school year.

The day went on well, until recess time. Alexander was walking on the hallway, next to James. The boy was still very shy with him, and they didn't really talk much. But they had just had a class together, and James still didn't know the school very well. Suddenly, an older boy approached them both.

- And who is your new boyfriend Alexa?

"hell no" thought James. School bullies. He didn't even hesitate and stood in front of his housemate.

- And who are you? Cause are clearly an arrogant bitch who has nothing better to do in his life than going around messing with people younger than them on the first fucking day of school.

All the people around them were quiet. Even the boy was quiet for a second.

- Shut up. - was the only reply James got.

- See? All bark no bite. Now leave us alone and get a life bro. - And with that he grabbed Aleck's arm and walked away, leaving all of them shocked.

When they were alone again, James led go of the other teen's arm, who surprisingly started speaking.

- James you have no idea what you just did to yourself. Are you crazy?

- What are you talking about? Aleck, I've dealt with bullies like that dude and worse, I don't give a fuck about them. Plus, he is shorter than both of us bro.

- No you don't get it - he sighed - it's not him you should worry about. It's his brother.

James looked at him comfused.

- Alexander, I think I haven't heard you speak so many words since we met and now they are all confusing me.

Aleck grabbed him by his shoulders and looked him straight in the eye.

- James, you are dead. That was Lincon Hills, brother of Derek Hills, the 18 year old who is gonna be the end of you when he finds out about this little scene you caused. Do you think I give a fuck about Lincon? I could push him with my finger. But his brother? Hell no. I got slapped by him once and my face almost did a 360° turn.

Okay now he was a little scared. But, it couldn't be that bad, right?

"great job James" he thought to himself. "First day of school and you already fucked it up".

Aleck went back to silence for the rest of their walk. And James' heart began racing faster and faster.

But he wasn't the only one having a bad first day of school, Matthew had met his new teacher. And hated him.

It was math class, one of Matthew's favorites, cause he never really had to study to have 100 in his exams. And apparently, his new teacher, Mr Moth, was not happy about that. Matt was chatting with his friends in the middle of the class, and Mr. Moth got mad and called him to the front.

- If you are so smart that you don't need to be paying attention, then you will have no problem doing this. - he started saying writing some math stuff on the chalkboard (idk math stuff sorry).

Matt's classmates that knew him smiled and chuckled a bit. And the boy loved that. He grabbed the chalk with a smile and solved what Mr. Moth had written in less than a minute.

And it would have ended there if he didn't want to make him even more mad by saying :

- I guess I am smart enough.

All the class laughed, but the teacher was furious.

- Out of my class.

Matt's face dropped. Oh no no no not in the first day.

- What? What have I done bro.

- First of all, Matthew, I am not your "bro". I am your teacher and you will adress me as such. Now, I told you to leave my classroom, so why are you still here?

The teen was getting really mad now. So fuck everything, he wasn't going to keep quiet.

- You are just a jealous bitch.

Everyone was shocked. Even Matt himself when he heard what came out if his mouth. Okay, he got himself in deep trouble.

- Principal's office, now.- Mr. Moth pointed to the door.

And again, the boy could have just left and not make himself be in more trouble, but he was still mad about the unfair situation and had to add a "fuck you" before leaving the class.
