Next Day

Andres' POV:

Today I'm going to coaching in my car with my driver because apparently I'm still not fully recovered and therefore can't ride a bike. But it's okay I think I'm gonna enjoy it. I don't why today I'm feeling awfully comfortable going to my coaching centre. What might be the reason behind it? Maybe because someone re assured me!
Although I know completely well that those assholes are not gonna leave me alone. They're gonna pick on me, but I'm not afraid, some day or the other I'm gonna have to face them, so why not now?

Yesterday evening, Edvin visited me to ask if I was okay, if I was doing well, but to be honest, I wasn't in the mood to talk to him, so I just told me yes and now he should leave. He was kind of taken aback because of my not so rude reaction but I could care less.

When I reached the coaching centre, I stepped out of the car and my driver handed me my bag. I quietly made my way inside and sat in the front. Although I thought about sitting in the back to avoid attention. I was mentally prepared for all kinds of shit and nuisances today but to my utter astoundment nothing came. The boys were really quiet today until the one and only Nicoli made an entrance. He noticed me and scoffed disgustingly as if I was a leech, but I didn't gave him the reaction he wanted. So he sat in the back with his boys and started with his usual shit, calling me with dirty names.

"Oh look, a faggot is here again, I thought he jumped off the cliff, cause he couldn't even stand how disgusting he was", "Cocksucker ", he shouted from behind.

But I think only he was the one who was yelling all this, others were just laughing at his antics. Soon the class started and eventually everyone became quiet because Mr. Garcia was teaching the important topic of Salts.

In between the class I moved my head to the direction of someone and she smiled lightly, she was looking at me too, you guessed it right, she was Audrey. Then I tried to focus on the lecture again , soon after the lecture ended.

I expected a lot of comments in my direction again but I was surprised again because only fucking Nicoli was saying shitty things towards me again,
"He's such a nance",
Nicoli said.

But I was too focused on something else. I quickly went to the parking lot, took my bike and went to the park.

Audrey's POV:

"Ew how can someone be so disgusting! Making one's life hell over nothing." Katy said in fury while looking at the boys in the back calling out Andres.

"They're pathetic" I said agitated.

Me and Katy were talking about how these homophobes are still hung up on that small topic and how they were really pitiful with sick mindes but we were interrupted by Gia's whisper,
"Hey just don't give them attention as they do these antics of bullying kids."

"Ya you're right, we should not even mention these douches. They don't even deserve it."
I said agreeing with her.

She is right. They are just doing this to make people mention them or be scared of them.

"Hey by the way you wanna hang out after class? Like movies and stuff you know?"Gia asked.

Trust me this girl loves hanging out.

"Yea sure!" Katy and Jade said in sync.

"I can't today I gotta be somewhere but you guys go ahead." I said apologetic.

"That's okay we can go sometime later." Jade said.

"You guys go on. Don't stop because of me." I said and Gia's face lit up. Told ya.

Soon the class was over and we all made our way to the parking lot, Gia tug onto my arm and said "Poodle why don't you come with us? Pretty please." She gave me puppy eyes.

You ask who is Poodle? Of course it's the nickname my girlies gave me. Haha funny right? They say my face looks like a Poodle.

"Baby bear I'm sorry I can't come with you guys today, but I'll make it up to you bear." I replied in most cute tone.

Cringe though.

"Okay Poodle you're excused for today but you've to hang out with us soon." Gia replied sweetly.

Then we parted ways and I went to the park only to see someone in a Grey hoodie waiting for me on a bench.

I don't know why my face suddenly curled up in a lil shy smile.

I tapped his shoulder from behind, he turned around in a mini shock and said "Omg you scared me."

I chuckled and said "That's not how you greet someone."

"Ya right, Hi" Andres said shyly. "Hey" I replied and took a seat beside him .

I tend to be extroverted when I'm with someone who's even more introvert than me.

We sat there for solid 2 minutes in awkward silence and before it started to become suffocating I spoke up, "So.. How's life going?"
"You out of all people is asking me that? It's going fine if we eliminate the people at coaching and rumours." Andres said smiling painfully.

After a short pause I spoke up,"All people are not bad, look at your frien-" "Friends" he scoffed.

I said defensively, "Okay I understand not your friends but look at my friends and me."

He looked up almost immediately and I looked away embarrassed.

"Wh-at I m-ea-"I said almost stuttering. Shit why did I stutter. I mentally facepalmed.

"It's okay I know what you mean." Andres said almost giggling.

"Speaking of which" he continued "today kids were you know somewhat nice. They were atleast not spitting shit." He said with humour in his tone while I smirked.

He noticed and said "You did something right?".

"No way. Why would I?" I said in denial.

"I know you did something. Come on tell me." he pestered me.

"Okay I agree I did something. I mean my friends and I went to Mr. Garcia to tell him about the shit these guys were spewing and how they are ruining the atmosphere and stuff." I finally
admitted.

"Damn" he said impressed. "I know I know." I boasted but ended up cracking up a little.

"No wonder I missed on a lot" he said and I nodded then almost immediately he said "speaking of which I missed on a lot of class work too. Can you by any chance explain me the work."

I thought for a moment and then spoke up "You mean like here?" "Yes!" he nodded.

"You want me to teach you geometry here?" I said half talking half laughing.

"Oh-okay then how about you come over?" he proposed.
