BAPA One-Shots

Unlikely Outburst

(Warning: swearing)

Chapa's POV:

Another useless day at school, and it feels like these days were getting slower and slower as they went by. I was about ready to just get up and leave, but right then, I saw Bose come in and sit down at his desk. The way he did it, though, it looked like something was upsetting him. I wanted to ask him about it, but I also didn't wanna bother him at the same time.

Teacher: "Alright, class, let's settle down. It's time to get started."

The whole class surprisingly does what the teacher says.

Teacher: "Okay, now as you all know, our unit test is tomorrow, and so for today, we're gonna play a review game. Here's how it works: you'll all be divided into groups of four, and I will ask each group a random question from our notes."

Miles raises his hand.

Teacher: "Yes, Miles."

Miles: "Can the test be pushed back another day? I don't know if I'll be here tomorrow."

Teacher: *sighs* "Miles, we've been over this. We can't push a test back just because one person won't be here to take it tomorrow."

Miles: "I know, but perhaps, you could make an exception just once."

Mika: "No way! I'm ready to take the test, no matter what it takes."

Miles: "Okay, first of all: I didn't invite you into this conversation, and second: you're always prepared for everything. It's getting annoying."

Mika: *gasps* "How dare you! Maybe you're just too lazy."

Miles: "Okay, you're about to cross the line here."

Mika: "What line is there to cross? You know I'm right."

The both of them start going at it, as usual. I was getting annoyed having to listen to this argument, and I could tell the teacher felt the same way. Right then, I heard something I never thought I'd ever hear.

Bose: "ENOUGH!"

Bose slams his hands on his desk. The whole class, including Mika and Miles when it put a stop to their argument, looked surprised at Bose.

Bose: "IF THE TEACHER SAYS THE TEST IS TOMORROW, THAT MEANS THE TEST IS TOMORROW! NOT IN TWO DAYS, NOT NEXT WEEK, IT'S TOMORROW! SO, IF YOU DON'T MIND, BOTH OF YOU DO US ALL A FAVOR AND SHUT THE FUCK UP AND JUST DEAL WITH IT!"

When he stops, he starts breathing a little heavily. The whole class doesn't know how to react to his outburst. Bose suddenly leaves the classroom. I didn't know how to feel, either. I've never seen him like this before. I ask the teacher if I could go check on Bose, and he said I can.

When I left the classroom, I looked around the school for Bose, and eventually, I found him sitting near the stairs. His hands partially covered his face, and he looked like he was about to cry. I felt the same way, too. It hurts me to see Bose like this.

When I get closer to him, I sit beside him, carefully trying to think of what to say next. Bose notices me sitting next to him, and he starts talking again, but this time, he's calm.

Bose: "Sorry you had to see that."

Me: "Don't worry about it, Bose. I probably would've done the same thing."

Bose: "This is different, though."

I start realizing.

Me: "Yeah, uh...I couldn't help but notice that you kind of already seemed a little upset when you first came into class."

Bose: "Shit, you could tell?"

Me: "Yeah, and if you don't wanna talk about it, that's alright, but just know that I'm here for you."

Bose: "Well, I suppose I can tell you. It's because of my stupid step-dad."

Me: "Oh, shit, what did he do now?"

Bose: "This morning, I told him that I think I like someone, and I was trying to ask for advice on how to tell them how I feel."

Me: "What did he say?"

Bose: "Nothing. He just laughed and told me that what I said was 'bullshit.'"

In that instant, I felt my blood boiling. I couldn't believe that his own step-dad would say that to him. I could feel myself about to spark, but I kept it in so that I didn't get my identity exposed.

Me: "What an asshole."

Bose: "Right?? He didn't bother hearing me out when I kept trying to say that what I said was true."

Me: "Hope you don't mind me asking, but...exactly who is this person you like? Because they might feel the same way about you."

Bose: "Eh, I don't think she's into me. She probably wouldn't date someone who's as dumb as me."

Me: "What? That is so not true. I would definitely date you."

Shit, I just let that slip. Bose looks at me surprised. I can't think of what to say next, but I didn't have to. At that moment, Bose leans in to kiss me, and I immediately kiss him back. Thank god no one was around to see and ruin our moment.

When we pull away to catch our breath, we smile at each other.

Bose: "Guess that answers my question."

Still smiling, I place a finger on his lips.

Me: "Just keep kissing me."

Bose giggles and does what he is told. We completely shut out the rest of the world and just focus on the two of us.
