Sidetracked

Chapter 7

"I don't think I'll ever be able to through another language Arts class again" Will said bluntly shuffling down the hallway. During Language Arts Will couldn't stop staring at Grayson and well.. neither could any other girl in the classroom. Hopefully someone tells them that he's gay.

"You'll live" I quoted Will surprised by his unease, I would expect Will to be all over Grayson "Why are you so nervous?"

"I really like him, Bell" Will muttered opening his locker

"And?"

"And, I want to be perfect for him, especially now if he's going to be attending-"

"Will" I grumbled snatching his hand from his hair,hair pulling had always been a nervios habbit of his "You're going to rip all your hair out".

"Sorry" He said still looking intensely at himself in his small locker mirror.

"You" I grabbed Will face in my hands and made him look at me " Don;t need to act a certain way for Greyson, if he doesn't love your sweet personality as much as I do, then you don't need him" I comforted him.

"Oh, god, his smile is delicious" Will licked his lips and I noticed that Greyson was walking by, a small smirk laying on his lips.

"Are you sure, because-"

"Will! If you even change your labret I will hurt you" I playfully threatened "Plus, I really think you guys connected and that's just what I saw from afar".

"Yeah.." Wills eye grew brighter as he sighed remembering the time he and Grayson spent together.

"So, go for it?" I nudged him with my shoulder questionably.

"Ok, I'm going to" Will smiled running his tongue over his labret "have I ever told you Bellum, how glad I am to have you".

"No, really" I smiled and couldn't help but feel giddy for him. I know that since he came out in seventh grade that all he's wanted was a lover and now he had one.

"Will, are you seriously telling me you don't smell that awful sunflower scent?" I asked as we jumped into the lunch line. Today was popcorn chicken Day.

"No, Bell, this is the hundredth time you've asked" Will handed me one of the white plastic trays " I don't think my answer is going to change".

So far I had met two of the supposed new kids. Samantha M. Degive with the creepy staring obsession and Will my best friends new love interest; Grayson.

Maybe my attacker will just waltz in next I thought psychotically.

"Bellum" Will said pulling me from my thoughts "You almost just walked past the popcorn chicken".

"Thanks" I muttered shoveling a small spoonful onto my tray. Proceeding to fill my tray with vegetables and fruits, I paid at the register and found my table. When I arrived, Lara and Elma were leaning in close together and speaking in hushed voices while Finn sat across from them. We had questioned Finn about the bar fight but, he too didn't even remember even starting a fight.Taking the seat next to Finn, Will scooted in next to me.

Ten minutes later as if just noticing our presence Lara and Elma spoke at the same time.

"Have you seen the new boy yet!?!?"

"No" I answered dully, all Lara could do was talk about boys and apparently she had corrupted Elma.

"He's sooo hot" Lara sung dramatically receiving an eyeroll from Will, Finn and I.

"Sure he is, because that's exactly what you said about Jeff, Spencer and Mitch when they were the new kids" Finn remarked taking the words right out of my mouth.
