❛ too overprotective ❜ᵣₑₐₗ ₗᵢfₑ !
There's a huge frown on chris' face as he sits outside of the principal's office, holding an ice pack to his bruised knuckles. he throws his head back on the wall, gritting his teeth and wincing at the coldness against his skin.
he's patiently waiting for the principal to stop talking to noah, just knowing that somehow he's going to get out of it. chris can't say the same for himself, after all, he hit noah first and nobody really vouched for noah starting it.
chris just huffs at the thought of noah exiting the office with a smug grin on his face, his mood only dropping once he notices nathan making his way towards the nearby toilet. there's a hall pass in his hand and chris just hopes he's planning on walking straight past him to avoid an awkward interaction.
each second passes by nate inches even closer to chris until he's stopping right in front of him. chris looks up at nate with a sheepish smile. "hey," he speaks up first with a forced grin.
"hey chris," nate replies, sitting down on the empty chair next to him. he awkwardly plays with the hall pass in his hand as an uncomfortable silence falls over them.
chris isn't really sure when everything became so awkward between the two of them, probably when nate found out he was in a fake relationship with mikayla. their friendship seemed like it was going great until nate 'ruined' it in mikayla's own words.
"what happened?" nate asks, breaking the silence gesturing his head towards chris' bruised hand. he sounds genuinely concerned which makes sense since they're extremely close friends, brothers almost.
chris shrugs, not sure whether he should tell nathan why he punched someone in the first place because he's not sure how nate would react if he finds out it's mostly because of mikayla. but he's done hiding the truth about how he feels about her, even if it isn't the best choice to explain it when she isn't here with them.
"punched noah," chris mutters, slightly proud that he finally put him in his place. "he was talking shit about mikayla, i knew i was gonna get suspended but it just happened so quick," he goes quiet quickly, waiting for nate to respond.
"you..." nathan trails off, his head fully rotating to face chris. "you knew you were gonna get suspended, but you still hit him? to stand up for mikayla?" nate almost bombards chris with questions that he'll definitely answer.
