Christian Boy

Chapter 3

The prom was coming up. Elias and Madden were going as friends. It was going to be fun.

Elias was walking to the restroom when he ran into a group of boys.

"Hey you. Monkey."

Elias looked at the bully

"Gimme your lunch money."

"No." Elias said

"Get him." The bully said.

The bullies pinned him down. They took his back pack off.

"Let's see what's in here." The bully said going through his bag. "Hmm notebooks, pens, pencils, no water? You look thirsty. Let's get you a nice refreshing drink of Lamos High shit water."

The bullies started shoving his head near the toilet. All of a sudden someone walked in.

"Get lost." the voice said.

All the bullies ran away.

Elias got up to see who it was. It was William. Elias was embarrassed.

"You okay?" William asked

"Yeah. Could've handled it but thanks for the help." he said trying to act tough

William chuckled.

"Me and my friends are going to the prom together. might get shitfaced after. Wanna join us?" he asked.

"Well-." Elias paused. This could be his chance to hang out with William. "Sure. I'll go."

"Alright! I'll tell the guys. Catch you later." Elias noticed his smile.

William left. Elias didn't want to admit it and his Christian parents wouldn't be happy, but William made his heart flutter. He sat for a little just daydreaming until he realized he was going to be late for lunch.

He walked to lunch. He sat down next to Madden.

"Aren't you so excited for prom? We're gonna have the best time." Madden said exitedly.

"About that. I have some- family things to attend to. I can't go." Elias said.

"Oh. What happened?"

Elias stuttered. "Um, Well, My dog is really really sick. We have to put him down that day. And my sisters getting married that day. And my uncles visiting."

"Oh. Sounds fun- I guess. There's always next year. I guess I won't go either." Madden said.

"Okay." Elias said nervously.
