{Tobias}

Third period—art—had just finished and I was making my way to the cafeteria, slowly but fast at the same time.

I felt a hand grab my shoulder and pull me back...

"The fu-"

"Tobias James Reagan! How dare you leave me alone with Summer McAllister!" Richards' heavy footsteps echoed throughout the hall..

Summer McAllister was Richards' ex-girlfriend, Summer cheated on him and ever since he found out and broke up with her... She's been all over him.

"C'mon she's can't be that bad" I laughed at the sour expression on his face.

"She's worse than Lillian! Worse!" Richard yelled, heads turning, eyes watching, ears listening. 

"And?" I raised my eyebrow.

"And? She's fuckin' crazy" Richard twirled his finger next to his head.

"Boohoo" I snorted dismissively at him. Watching his face ball up. Uh oh..

"Boohoo... boo-fucking-hoo" venom laced in his voice...

I think I should go...

I turned around and started speed walking, 

"Oh shit oh shit oh shit" my head and feet raced a million miles per second. Good thing I'm 'in shape'.

"Tobias! I'm not done... I wanted to know if you wanted to play Mario Kart at my house..." I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Is this dude for real? Damn, bi-po-lar" 

"Mario Kart?" I asked, turning around. My feet making their way to the supposedly now calmed down friend of mine.

"Mario Kart." Richard repeated himself, a smile in his eyes, but never on his lips.

"Deal" I stuck my hand out, a huge smirk plastered on my face.

"Yes, a deal... Tobias" my name like citric acid on his tongue, sending terrified shivers down my back.

Richard grabbed my hand and shook it. His eyes scanned the hallway, people were staring.

"Mind your fucking business!" Richard barked at the crowd and I watched as people scattered from the scene like we're the cops or something.

I dropped his hand, laughing at the scurrying students.

"C'mon, let's go to lunch" Richard threw his arm around my shoulder, his hand resting against my arm.

"Fine wit' me" Richard and I started walking to the cafeteria, our heads held high, faces filled with confidence.

"Hi Tobias!" Many people I didn't see in the morning or during my others classes waved and greeted me.

I'd nod and wave back every so often.

"Richy" a feminine whine rumbled in my ears... Summer McAllister...

"Uh oh" I whispered.

"Shit, I thought I lost her when the bell rang" Richard cursed, taking his arm off my shoulder, preparing to run.

"You can't run, she's in front of us!?" I whispered harshly at him, preparing to run as well.

"Watch me." His tone flat, he really liked Summer, he just... wanted to move on.

"Oh shit. What if she catches y-"

He ran... he actually ran. 

"Richard!" I yelled as I ran after him, zooming past and between students.
