English class

Chases POV

I walk into English class as per usual and see Isaac sitting in our two normal spots. When we started dating we moved closer together but he looks angry nervous.

I sit down next to him and give him a little nudge. "You okay?" I ask.

"Yeah fine." He scoffs.

"Hey." I say, grasping his hand. "What's up."

"Nothing." He says. "Sorry I overreacted."

"Don't be." I say

The teacher starts the lesson and everything is going normal until we're told to get into pairs. A kid yells out that the two faggots of the class will obviously pair together. Though when the kid finishes his sentence and is sent out of class Isaac still seems shaken up about it.

Something 100% up but he won't tell me and I don't know why like I don't think I've done anything wrong.

Isaac's POV

"I bet the two faggots will pare together." Some random kid screams.

He gets sent out instantly but it's kind of annoying. Everyone's now looking at us and I know Chase hasn't notices but it's pissing me off every time like when I walked into school or now.

I want to be out with Chase and I want to show him off to everybody but it's just hard because of everyone expecting things from me and wanting me to do these things for them but I just don't know what to do.

Chase seems normal but I don't know how he can be normal when people are shitting on him for no apparent reason. He's so confident about being out that it's mortifyingly scary, he just lets people shit on him and he shouldn't but he does and every time and I know he doesn't mean to but it's really worrying me because it has to affect him someway.

I feel like Chase is worrying about me to much but I'm okay, I'm fine I'm doing perfect and he doesn't have to worry about me but he is and I know he means well but he shouldn't be worrying about me if he has things going on.

Isaac and Chases English Teachers POV

Couldn't some kids be more disrespectful like there's no reason to be like that, Chase and Isaac are very good friends and now we know very good partners and I don't see their need to be such dicks about it.

I just sent one kid to the principals office so that's one down but if their grades start slipping because of this I'm going to be unimpressed by others behaviour.

Chases POV

I know Isaac's hurting right now because of all the things that are happening and I know he needs help but he's not accepting it and I can't help him if he won't take it.

Isaac's POV

I know Chase is used to it but he shouldn't be and these kids are being dicks so maybe it's best if we don't be in the same group.

The group project only needs two people and usually I'd pick Chase but I don't really know if I want to gain more attention even though we already have it anyway.

"Do you wanna be in my group?" Chase asks.

"Maybe we don't be." I say. "Get people off our backs."

"Are you sure?" He says.

"Yeah." I reply.

I want to cry in this moment because I know Chase is hurt by this and I am too but it's just that I don't want anymore attention with my and Chase dating even though we are u don't want people to know because I'm not out yet.

I feel like I'm being pushed out of the closet and I hate it, I want to stay in the closet and never leave and make sure that I'm safe and that nothing can hurt me or affect me and that no one's going to be homophobic to me because they won't know.

If only I didn't kiss Chase in-front of everyone. If only I was I little more secretive then we wouldn't be in this position and everything would be normal and no one would be saying anything. Maybe. Although all kids a Truham are either really nice or extremely rude.

I pick my friend who proceeds to tell me he has a partner and he can't.

I turn to Chase and see he isn't in a group either.

"Chase come here." I say.

Chase walks over and sits down next to me.

"No one want to be in your group?" He asks.

"Nope." I say. "You?"

"Yeah the same, at-least we have each-other."

I give Chase a little grin but not a super noticeable one because I'm really not in the mode to be lying to people right it's just taking up way to much energy and I can't seem to make sure I can or can't.

The teacher starts to explain the group task but everything is starting to slur and blue in my eyes. Everything seems to go fuzzy when the last thing I remember is my head going towards the table.

"Isaac!" A voice calls. "Isaac!"

My eyes spring open and I realise what's just happened, I fainted in the middle of English class and didn't even listen to the group project and I'm sure Our teacher will know if we have any questions but it still is scary because of the unbeknownst of what this group task is.

Chase POV

We contribute to the poster together and finish it by the end of the lesson, when I hand it in to our teacher she warns me about bully's and how I need to watch out which I already know, Charlie drilled it into my head when I was younger so that if I did get bullied I'd tell people and it really did work just know it's different because if you do report them you get called the snitch and people start to hate you.

We finish English and when we walk out of the class I feel my phone buzz I check it and it's a message from...
