15 - forgive

fourth's pov

I had cried myself to sleep that night. and when I woke up I was really tired still. I heard a light knock on my door. I looked at my door and groaned a bit. "who is it?" he asked, tiredly. "it's me." I heard the voice of phat. huh? why was he knocking on my door. "can I come in?" he asked and I just gave him a quiet yes, but loud enough for him to hear it through the door.

he walked in and closed the door. "what do you want?" I asked and sat up, my eyes were probably bloodshot red and my whole room was a mess. "fourth, I'm sorry." he said and I just looked at him. "oh really?" I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "I really am. can you let me explain?" he asked and I slightly nodded.

it's not like whatever he was gonna say was going to make me forgive him but atleast I can give him a chance to explain himself.

"so. I told way and pring that our parents were engaged and they kinda started to make fun of me a bit. that's why that day I like smeared your face with food. I just wanted to seem cool infront of them. and then we have this. I didn't actually see you do anything with gemini. it was pring who did. and she told me to tell your mom so I could make your life more miserable." he said and I nodded. gesturing for him to continue talking. "and again, I'm so sorry for what I did. I just didn't want to lose my friends. I know they're like horrible ones but, I don't have anyone else." he said and I sighed.

I looked at him. "phat, I don't think I can forgive you." I said and he nodded. "yeah, I figured. and I'm not asking for you to forgive me. I just wanted to explain why I've been bullying you for no reason." he said. I smiled a bit. "it's okay, but leave me alone please. I really don't want to be made fun of." he nodded again and smiled. "I'll try to make them like, leave you alone." he said. "I appreciate it." I replied and he smiled.

he got up and headed out. oh wow. I was definitely not going to forgive him but atleast I know why he's been bullying me. I guess he just wanted... fame?

I shrugged my shoulders and went back under the covers and closed my eyes again. I was really tired.

when I woke up, I checked the time on my phone. it was 7:54. I had a few new messages from gemini.

gem🔆: fourth.
gem🔆: fourth why weren't you at school?
gem🔆: are you sick?
gem🔆: should I come over?
gem🔆: is everything okay?
gem🔆: you usually tell me when you're sick.
gem🔆: text me back when you see this.

those messages made me shudder. how was I supposed to tell him my mom said we can't hang out? it's not like I won't hang out with him still but I have to tell him we have to be extra careful.

fnj❀: hey, sorry I was sleeping all day.
gem🔆: it's okay, did something happen?
fnj❀: kinda
gem🔆: what happened? if you feel comfortable telling me
fnj❀:my mom found out and she said we can't hang out anymore.
gem🔆: oh
fnj❀: but it's not like I actually will leave you.
fnj❀: we just have to be extra careful
gem🔆: oh uhmmm, okay.
gem🔆: what did she say?
fnj❀: can I save that for another time?

gem🔆: yeah, of course.
fnj❀: I might come to school tomorrow. or I'll wait until monday.
gem🔆: okay. if you wanna talk I'm here<3
fnj❀: thank you. same for you. <3
gem🔆: go get some more rest.
fnj❀: okay
gem🔆: byeee
fnj❀: bye bye

I stared at the messages and smiled. he was too nice for me. I love him honestly.

It was the next day. I woke up early and got up. I got ready for school like normally and went downstairs. I saw phat and my mom there.

"where's lee?" I asked phat. not in the mood to talk to my mom. "he's at work. he had to go early today." said phat and I nodded. "you ready to head out?" I asked and he looked at me confused. "yeah but don't you think you should stay home atleast today too?" he asked. "no it's okay. come on let's go." I said and headed out, phat behind me.

"I'll still have to like uhm. 'bully' you at school." he said, looking at me. I nodded and looked at him. "yeah it's okay. just don't go like, too far." I said and he smiled. "okay, I won't." he said.

----

I got to school a few minutes before phat did so people wouldn't think we live together still. he didn't want people to know we're basically siblings now. I understood.

I went to class almost immediately and I sat down. I saw the classroom get flooded with other kids.

everyone sat down and after a few minutes, the teacher walked in and everyone stopped chit-chatting.

"good morning kids." the teacher said and everyone said good morning back.

----

once class was done, I left and got on my phone. I walked to the bathrooms and went in a stall. I finished what I had to do and I left the stall, washing my hands at the sink.

that was when I heard someone walk in. it was gemini. "hey, fourth." he said and my head shot up. "gem. hey." I said and smiled. I dried my hands off on my uniform and walked over to him.

he smiled back to me and wrapped his hands around my torso. I looked down and then up at him. he just leaned in and pecked me on my lips. I smiled and my eyes widened. "someone's gonna come in." I said and he shrugged his shoulders.

"I missed you yesterday." he said, resting his face in the crook of my neck. I smiled, my face heating up. "I missed you too." I said.

he looked up at me and kissed me again. "can you come over later?" he asked and I looked at him. "I'll see. my mom won't let me but I can sneak out." I said, looking down. he nodded and used a hand to tilt my chin up again. he leaned in and right when he was about to kiss me, I heard the door open.

my eyes widened and I pushed him away. I looked at the door and saw that it was phat who walked in. I sighed, half in relief. he looked at both of us and snickered. "was I interrupting something?" he asked and I shook my head. "no of course not. don't tell mom please." I said and he nodded. "why would I tell her? it's not like you'd actually stay away from him." he said and I smiled.

"okay uh, I was going to go piss so uhm. I'll go do that." he said, awkwardly walking into one of the stalls. I looked at gemini's confused face and started laughing a bit. he looked confused for a few seconds but eventually, he started laughing with me.
