Austin's POV
I go to school and more people are staring at me than they were the other day. I knew it would get around and someone asks me "are you and Vince together?" I say "absolutely not" grabbing my stuff and going to my first class. Physics. I text Eric saying:

Me: I have physics and I think it's a review.
Eric: good morning to you too, baby.
Me: sorry, physics always stresses me out. I just look forward and don't think about anything till it's over.
Eric: it's ok, baby. I'll help you. I have a study hall this morning, so I'm at home till 9:15. I can listen in on the class if you want?
Me: you're lovely. I'll call you once I sit down.

I get into class and put one of my AirPods in and I call him. Eric smiles and waves and I text him saying:

Me: I don't even know what we're reviewing.
Eric: lol it'll be ok. I got you, baby
Me: ok.

My physics teacher starts talking then he gives us some word problems. I show Eric the problem and he writes it down then he says "ok, I got it. Dynamics. Let's see. As always, write what you know first. Draw the free body diagram too then we can go from there. I text him saying:

Me: the triangle thing?

Eric says "yes, you have the size of the angle then you need the length of the hypotenuse then you have your answer of the distance it's pushed. Then you have to draw another free body diagram to show where the force is when the box is pushed up the ramp rather than down." We go through the math then I text him saying:

Me: you're literally magical. Wouldn't the friction just be reversed and the arrow would be lengthened because it's greater friction going against gravity?

Eric says "yes, that's exactly it" smiling and pushing his glasses up on his nose. He says "babe, you look so good this morning" smiling and Vince comes in sitting next to me. I say "what you need?" He says "teacher said he'd help me with this problem. The homework was impossible." Eric mumbles "it was easy" and I say "shut up, Sheldon." He smiles and laughs.

I say "I can help" and Eric squints at me. I flip him off and Vince says "which equation did you use?" I say "the longest one" and Vince says "that would make sense. Wow, I did not need help with this. I was tired last night?" I say "what did you do last night?" Vince says "went on a date. Didn't like her, she was boring. So much for talking to her over text for three months."

I say "damn, do I know her?" He says "one of the girls from the company. Bumped into her on my way into class and her way out. She makes dance a bit too much of her personality. She gives hip hop a bad name. She's like a horse girl, but 'I do hip hop.' It was horrible. Don't recommend dating a dancer." Eric says "noted" and I say "hey!" He smirks and says "I'm already taking you out tonight. It's too late for me."

I chuckle and he says "you never made it your personality anyway. There's more to you" taking his glasses off. Vince writes on a piece of my notebook paper: is that Eric? I nod and he writes: he's so fine. Oh my god. I say "shush. You'll be able to get a ride tonight, right?" He says "yeah, I can drive ya know?" I say "I forgot. I have a date tonight, so." Vince says "ooooo, ok. Good for you" chuckling. I say "I can leave my car in the parking lot but your mom would kill me if I left you there."

Vince says "glad you refrain because my mom would kill you, not because you worry about me." I chuckle saying "funny how that works" and he glares me. We chuckle and he says "I'm not gonna catch you if we do any kind of partner work for this dance." I say "jump off a bridge" us chuckling. Eric says "alright, babe, I gotta drive. You're too much of a distraction." I smile saying "bye" and we hang up and Vince's mumbles "oh my god, he's so fine."

I say "I know right?" We get through the day then I go home. I get in my car and I shift out of park to back out of my parking spot. I try to put my brakes on as I turn out of the parking spot but my brakes don't work. I then mumble "oh my fucking god" and I try to shift to park but it doesn't work. I then try my emergency brake. It works as the back of my car only gets completely crushed by a tree. I grab my phone and all my shit out of the car. I get out saying "thank fucking god."

I lock my car and go back into the school, straight to the principals office. I say "are there cameras in the school parking lot?" The receptionist says "yes, why?" I say "someone cut my brakes and almost crushed my car." She says "hold on a second, let me get the Dean. Hey John!" He comes out saying "Susan, I was in a meeting. Thank you, this is probably much better than the meeting."

She says "we might have to call police." The Dean says "come into my office." I nod and I sit on the other side of his desk. He says "what happened, kid?" I say "someone cut my fucking brakes, John!" John says "just cause we're cousins doesn't mean you can swear here. There's cameras with audio because of the last guy to be in this seat." We're cousins but it's not well known here. We don't tell people here because, why the hell would we? It's how I get bullied or put on a very high pedestal.

I say "I don't care. You're the one punishing goes through and I'm not scared of you. My cars brakes have been cut in the school parking lot, what the hell am I supposed to do?" He says "do you have an idea of who did it?" I say "I have one but I did get outed yesterday, so could be any homophobe." John says "give me a fucking break, Austin. Twenty percent of the school is gay. No one's brake line has been cut here ever. I've studied every record ever of this school. Who do you think did it?"
