Demons

Chapter 2

A picture of Ayden is on this page

Ayden's point of view:

Do you know where Mrs. Smith's class is? The kid asked

I just stood there staring at him while thinking, whoa who is this kid? He's... he's cute. I probably must have looked stupid just standing there staring so I pointed at the door in front of us and said right there.

Oh my gosh I'm so stupid, I'm sorry I wasted your time, my name's Jake by the way just in case you were wondering bye, he said as he ran to the door, I called after him saying my name was Ayden, he turned around a gave me a little smile and then continued walking.
I stood there for a second then walked away to go to the bathroom before I went to the principal's office. When I got into the bathroom I looked at my face and gasped, it was covered in blood I looked horrible and not to mention I probably left a horrible impression on Jake, oh my gosh why did this have to happen, I started to wash the blood off my face it took awhile but after I was done I looked in the mirror and thought I looked pretty decent and then I walked out and started making my way to the place I really didn't want to be, the principal's office. When I got there the principal motioned for me to take a seat and when I did he began Ayden I know you have been a distraction to other kids in the past few weeks, but getting into a fight you know is unacceptable and of all people you should know that. Now what I want to know is why you did it

He called me gay, everyone in the school has moved on from that subject but he won't.

The principal just looked at me for awhile and then continued on talking
That was still no way to handle that situation, you are all in the last year of high school you don't want to be getting into fights, yes what he did was wrong and I'll deal with him, but for now you will help our new student around his name is Jake, but after school you have detention for a week now get to the class you were just in he has all the same classes as you so it won't be that hard for you to help him out, you may leave but I'd advise you not to get into anymore trouble Ayden.

Yes, sir I mumbled but deep down inside I was a little happy to be helping Jake out.

When I got to the class the bell rang so I just stood outside the class waiting for Jake to walk out, but after awhile when he didn't I walked in to see what was taking so long. When I saw him he was trying to pick up his things on the floor but he just kept dropping more stuff, so I went over to help him. I guess he was startled when I picked his stuff up because he jumped back but when he saw me he relaxed I just looked at him confused and I guess he must have noticed because he open his mouth to speak
I thought you were someone else, I thought you were going to smack all my stuff out of my hand
Why would I do that? I said confused

Um no... no reason he stuttered and then turned to leave

Without thinking I grabbed him by the arm and made him look at me,
You can tell me why, don't worry

You'll make fun of me though, I don't even know how they found out I didn't act like it I never do they just found out, well I don't know if they found out, but why else would they slap my stuff out of my hands, he rambled on.

I stopped him from going any further
Well why don't you just tell me, I won't make fun of you I promise.

He looked at me for awhile before speaking,
Be...because I'm...I'm gay.

I smiled but I guess he got the wrong idea he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, I knew you would make fun of me before running out of the class room.

I ran after him realizing I was stupid for smiling but I couldn't help it he was gay too. When I finally found him he was in the boys bathroom sitting in a corner crying. It hurt me to see him like that.

Jake's point of view:
I was kept dropping my stuff when someone helped me I jumped back a little scared that they were going to come back and mess with me again but I relaxed when I saw it was only Ayden, but he was looking at me confused so I told him I thought he was going to mess with me.

Why would I do that

I can't tell you you'll make fun of me. I said

You can tell me I won't make fun of you I promise he said

I don't know why but I told him the truth
Be...because...I'm...I'm gay.

He looked at me and then he smiled I just looked at him with my eyes watering and said
I knew you would make fun of me. Then I ran out of the classroom I don't know if he came after me but I didn't care I didn't need him making fun of me too. After awhile I made it to the boys bathroom and sat in a corner and I couldn't hold it back anymore, I started crying. I didn't hear the bathroom door open until someone tapped me on the shoulder.
