The Beginning

Chapter Four: The Beginning.

TOM’S P.O.V

“And it went off.”

“Oh my god, does that gun have safety lock?”

“It does Tom, I forgot to put it on.”

“You are a dopey idiot.”

“I know.”

I surf the library’s computer, completely entranced to the new Naruto chapter that they released, I click on the link that show me the next page, “BLOCKED?! WHAT THE FUCK?!” People eyed me like I had just grown two heads, “Like you all never had that reaction before...” I sunk into my chair, and sigh, “Damn uni.”

I continued clicking through random websites, until I heard a certain voice that shuddered my spine, “Yeah...no Emily, No.” I turn and see Emily talking to a boy who turned away, and walked past me to the library door, I look back at Emily.

I look back at the screen and close it, “...” I plug in my usb, and look at a video of Eminem, I eyed the muted video until I felt a sudden pressure on my back, I look up and scream on the inside, “e-Emily..” my voice squeaked, her breasts were pounding against my back. I click away the video and hid my blush, “What are you doing?”

I felt her arms hug me, “I was talking to a friend,” She bounced up and down impatiently, making me blush more, “Tom?” I look down at my jeans, “Tom!” She bounced faster when I didn’t answer, Don’t you- A sudden pressure reached my jeans and I held my hands between my legs, “TOM!!!!” I breathe heavily. And hide my complete embarrassment.

She sighed, “You’re not talking to me!”

I look up, “I’ll be a second... ELLIOT!” My blonde friend was THANKFULLY walking by innocently, “Entertain her!” I scurry to the boy’s toilets, I look at the ceiling, “FUCKING STRIKE ME DOWN NOW!” I held my arms wide open, then look down, “... Fuck my life...”

Brodie walked in laughing, “Tom, ‘FUCKING STRIKE ME-“ I clap my hand against his lips.

I laugh sarcastically, “Say it again,” I unzip my jeans slightly, “Then you’ll be sucking.” He gulped and walked away, I walk into the stall and ‘relieve’ myself.

~~<>~~

I walked out of the bathroom and see Elliot and Emily still talking and I stopped, and saw Brodie chatting with them, I spot Emily glancing at Elliot then back at Brodie, I stroke my invisible beard, I march to them and hug Emily, “How are you? I am so sorry!” I ruffle her hair, “You cause me enternal pain.” I said in a way that random people would go ‘INSANE!’ if they heard it.

Elliot seemed lost in thought so I surprised him by giving him a man hug, “HI!” I said in a happy voice.

He waved at me and looked at Emily, “Emily, Tom... Brodie... I have to go.”

I looked at him, “..Okay, bye!”

He smiled and waved, “Bye.” He left the library... wait...

ELLIOT’S P.O.V

I leave the library and try to clear my head, I look around and see students that I haven’t recognised so I sat down on a pair of stairs and looked at the ground, Well. I turn my head slightly and Taint sat next to me, the way we sat, it was like a ninety degree triangle, his body faced north, and I faced west, Let’s review. I focus back on the ground, Emily, she is sweet, innocent, and a lot of guys like her, but her innocence just scares them away. I look at Taint, and whisper, “Well, she doesn’t scare me away.” He scoffed, Because, maybe you don’t like her. I sighed, that could be true, Now, another topic, Christal. My heart ached when he said her name in the dreaded tone, You and her have history, you two would do anything for each other, BUT. You and she had history that wasn’t great. I nodded, Taint was so good at advice, Listen to yourself, if you take Emily, think of how many guys are going to beat on you. I looked at him confused; They are going to hate you for being brave. I look at the ground, Christal, you’ll just be the same, MAYBE. I whispered, “I just need to grow up...” Not only that, you are going to be sacrificing a lot of friends by going back to her. I look at the sky, “Love overrules right?” I said,He shook his head, This is how my true guidance comes in. I look at him even more confused, Okay, This is hard on you, But think, what I’d do, I’d fuck them both by telling them that friends are more important. I nod slowly at his advice, “Taint, what about their feelings?” He smiled at the corner of my eye, That’s where THIER part comes in, if they truly liked or loved you, then they would completely understand rather than burst into tears like a little pansy bitch. “TAINT!” I yelled, earning a glare from a suddenly frightened student, “Sorry..” He smiled, Come on, you need me right now... admit it. I nod in response, To you, if Emily, Christal and Tom, were on the ground, all of them beaten shitless, they looked at you to save them. But the man apprehending them had two guns, and said “Take one... two die.” Whic- “Tom.”
