Part 10 - It's Fine

{TW: Sexual Activity Mentions, Alcohol}

Third Person POV:

"Dude! You're back!" Lucas exclaims, rushing to his friends and enveloping him in a tight hug. "Where the hell were you, man? We all were so confused!"

Mike stared at him for a second before grinning happily. "I was just on a trip with my sister," He lies.

"Well next time maybe text us or something, yeah?" Lucas elbows him.

Mike nods and they start walking into the school. "OH MY GOD IS THAT MIKE?!" A shout comes from the main doors, and two teenagers barrel through the large crowd, who thankfully move out of the way. Dustin almost crashes Mike into the ground in a hug, but Mike steadies himself. "Dude, WHERE WERE YOU!?"

"I was gone for a day, guys," Mike says as Jane latches onto his arm. "Not a week."

"Still! You should tell us where you go before we worry too much," Dustin says. Jane stays quiet, knowing Mike doesn't want to tell them anything. "We're your friends, you know."

Mike keeps his smile on his face, but those words start a loop in his head. Should he tell them?

"God, Mike, we thought you died or something," Max says, skating to a stop next to them. "Lucas and Dustin were freaking out."

"C'mon, Max, we know you were freaking out too," Lucas says.

Max rolls her eyes. "Yeah don't bet on it," She says. Mike snorts. "I mean it, dipshit," Max glares, but there was something about her words that made Mike know she didn't.

Will walks up to them, giving a smile to Mike.

"Brother, did you hear the rumors about the pop quiz?" Jane says, narrowing her eyes at her brother. "It's supposed to be really hard."

"What? I didn't hear anything about a pop quiz?" Will questions, bewildered.

Mike frowns at his girlfriend, who was giving Will a smile. "I hear it from another student," Jane says. Will frowns in worry.

"I'm gonna go ahead, guys," Will says, already starting to speed up.

Jane looks at Mike, giving him an innocent grin and planting a kiss on his cheek. "Dude, PDA," Lucas says, rolling his eyes. Max nods, still glaring.

"Hey, wanna go to the bathrooms?" Jane says, whispering in Mike's ear.

Mike bites the inside of his cheek, but nods and lets Jane drag him faster into the school, away from the others.

"What did you do on the trip yesterday?" Jane questions as they enter a bathroom(in my book they have bathrooms not separated by gender lol yeah fuck you school). "Did you go back to Florida or something?" She asks, dropping her bag on the ground.

"Yeah," Mike says. "My mom just had to do a few more thing there."

Jane rolls her eyes. "Your mom's really annoying," she says. "Why did she bring you if it was just for her?"

"I don't know," Mike says. Jane then goes back to the door, closing and locking it. Mike frowns. "A janitor might unlock that and get us in trouble," Mike points out.

"Well you can just tell him off, yeah?" Jane says. "You have money."

Mike slowly nods. Jane walks back over to him. "Um, we also have class soon," Mike says as she gets closer. "We shouldn't be late."

"Oh, what's missing one class going to do?" Jane says dismissively.

Mike shifts uncomfortably. "It could lower our grade," Mike says. "I already am failing, so I think we should go,"
