3rd person

Austin was casually walking to his locker with his "friends". He opened it and a small slip of paper fell gently to the ground. He picked it up and opened it with curiosity.

"To Austin,
Meet me in the library
after school, please.
I have something to
say to you.
-your secret admirer <3"

"Heyy, Austin! You finally got a chick?" One of the jocks asked.
"Oh, shut up." He chuckled, rolling his eyes sarcastically.

Or at least he tried. But in reality he was dead serious. He REALLY wanted that twat to shut up.

"Oh don't be or like that. At least you've finally got a bitch!" He nudged his shoulder, smirking.

Austin hummed quietly, resisting the urge to knock his teeth out.

*Time skip to after school.*

Austin stepped into the library quietly. He didn't tend to come in here much, since his "friends" dragged him around everywhere.

There was seemingly no one in there. Not even a librarian.
"Hello?" He called out quietly.

'Click.'

The lock on the door turned, locking him in. He instantly looked back nervously, seeing who was there. It was;
"Henry?"

"Why are you ignoring me." He deadpanned, shoving the keys into his pocket. How did he even get those?

"I-I uhm.." Austin backed away nervously, Henry stepping closer in pursuit. He quickly ended backing himself into one of the book stands.

Henry looked down at Austin coldly, making the shortest blush a little.

"Answer the question." He demanded. Austin swallowed harshly, backing himself further into the shelf.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about.." Austin lied, trying his best to seem as innocent as he could.

"Don't lie to me Austin. You've been avoiding me like the plague! If you didn't wanna be friends anymore you could've just said so!" He snarled.

"Wait, no. That's not-!"
"Don't act dumb. If there really was a good reason you would've told me!"
"But I-"
"So if there really is a good reason, now is the time to say so."

Silence..

"That's what I figured."
"Wait-"
"Save it."

Henry turned around quietly, grabbing the keys out of his pocket. They clanked together as he walked towards the double doors.

Austin's heart raced. This could be one of the only times that Austin could actually tell Henry what's going on. But what if the others found out. What would the consequences be?

"THEY BLACKMAILED ME, OKAY?!" He blurted out suddenly. Henry froze in his tracks, slowly turning to face the other.

"What.?" He mumbled, his voice close to a whisper.
