12:30 pm

it was lunch and Todd was talking about going to a ski lodge resort that his parents owned, its kinda far but it sounds like fun; he also said it started to snow there and we would be able to go sledding. everyone was free for the weekend, and was planning on staying the whole weekend, you were debating on going. yea it would be fun but you felt scared to go.

"so Y/n, you didn't say if you were free or not for the weekend" you were hoping that they wouldn't say anything, but of course they would. all eyes were on you, seeing what your answer would be. it made you nervous, but you decided on going against your fears. "yea i have nothing better to do anyway."

"great! now we just have to buy food and snacks for the weekend" "sounds like a plan." everyone agreed and would help chip in for the food; Ashley and Todd were gonna drive with his boyfriend Neil, and me, Sal and Larry are gonna drive; Todd said it would be a 3 hour drive to the lodge, he also mentioned theres lots of bedrooms so each one of us could have our own room if we wanted to, but i know for a fact i'm sharing a room with Sal.

your train of thought was interrupted by Sal, his hand met your hand under the table as your fingers interlocked, he started to rub circles on your hand as the others talked more about the trip. you smiled to yourself as you ate some chips.

the bell rang indicating lunch was over; you and Sal got up, still holding hands as the rest of the gang got up, they got rid of their garbage and started walking towards our classes; you had gym class next with Todd, but Travis was also in that class, he still scares you a bit after the bathroom incident, but he hasn't bothered you that much since then.

"see you after class?" your train of thought was interrupted by Sal as you realized the two of you were in front of his class. "yea, see you in art" you smiled as you let go of his hand and made your way to the gym.

when you got there you quickly changed and walked over to Todd "hey Todd" you stood beside him and waited for the gym teacher to give instructions "hello Y/n." you and Todd didn't talk much, but he did tutor you for a few classes and he helped improve your grades.

the gym doors opened and the teacher walked in "your gonna do 5 laps and then find a partner for sit-ups" she said as she held some paperwork in her hand; some of the kids groaned but started to run laps anyway.

after finishing your last lap, panting and sweating a bit, maybe you should consider to quit smoking......like thats gonna happen. after catching your breath, you looked around the gym to see who you could ask to be your partner, mostly everyone had a partner, everyone except Travis.

Travis was leaning against the wall, looking around to see if anyone was available to be his partner. his eyes landed on you and he scowled; you frowned as he made his way towards you.

both of you didn't say anything, you could tell that Travis wanted to say something but was holding it in. you wanted to ask if something was wrong but you were scared to ask not knowing what the outcome would be. thinking that made you think about that day in the bathroom, you wanted this class to end sooner just so you wouldn't be around Travis for that long.

finding a spot the both of you got on the ground, Travis held your feet down as you started to do sit-ups. "hey uh not that i care or anything but are you....still scared of me?" Travis quickly said as he looked away, hearing him say that shocked you. you didn't know if it was genuine or if he was just gonna say something mean about you or the others.

"well...who wouldn't be scared of someone who slapped them" you said as you continued doing sit-ups not looking in his direction; you could feel his eyes on you, and it made you feel uncomfortable. why was Travis saying this? is he gonna apologize or just be a jerk.

Travis's mind was a mess, he felt bad for slapping you and he didn't mean to. it was eating him alive as he didn't want to end up like his father, he didn't know how to apologize or what to say. he was thinking about giving up on trying to say sorry, but he knew it wouldn't be right to not say anything. taking a deep breath he looked down.

"i-i don't know where to start..and i'm not good at this but i'm sorry for hitting you" Travis said, you stopped what you were doing and stared at Travis, shocked at what you were hearing, where was the Travis that is always mean? "but don't think were gonna be friends or shit after this, your friends with the homos and thats a sin" he snarled; theres the Travis that everyone knew, it was actually kinda nice to hear Travis apologize, and it made you feel better and not so scared of him.

"y'know, not every one of my friends are gay, only Todd is gay but he's still fun to be around" you continued doing sit-ups as you had a small smile. "yea whatever."

after gym class

walking out the gym doors you made your way to art class, which was your favourite as Larry, Ash and Sal were in the same class aswell. Travis was being a bit more friendlier towards you and it was weird, but a good weird. it was strange for him to apologize as it was out of character for him, but it felt like a weight lifted off my chest after hearing him apologize; you were definitely telling the others about what happened.

making your way towards art class you saw Sal and Larry ahead of you, clutching your sketchbook and pencil case in hand, you started to run towards Sal and Larry dodging a few others while making your way towards them.

Sal was having a normal conversation with Larry not knowing what was about to happen; he could hear distant running and thought nothing of it, but it got closer and closer, he was gonna turn around but before he could you jumped onto him and wrapped your arms and legs around him, he almost lost his balance but quickly regained it. "hi Sally and Larry!" you said as you hugged onto to Sally tighter, Larry was chuckling to himself after seeing Sally get a surprise attack and almost fall, he also said a quick hi to you before walking ahead.

"how was gym class my love?" he asked as he continued walking to art class; your face flushed after he said that to you, and it made you flustered. "i-it was good, i also talked to Travis" you could feel Sal tense up at hearing his name; even if Travis was being abused at home it doesn't give a right to hit you, after he learned what happened to you when you were younger he felt anger. he hated Travis for what he did to you and if he could, he would definitely beat him.

"did he say anything to you or do anything?" Sal quickly asked and you could hear the worry in his tone. "no he didn't, he actually..apologized. it was weird hearing it from him but i'm kinda happy he apologized" Sal relaxed "huh..Travis apologizing, thats new" you giggled as Sal carried you into art class.
