Does It Ever Get Better? (On Hold. Again. I'm Sorry)

"Somewhat Saved By An Enemy." - Chapter 23

Ross' p.o.v.

"Knock it off, Riker!" Evan yelled. My brothers and I were supposed to skip class, but I didn't think Evan would join? I hurried down the hall. "Why, Bitch?" Riker asked. "Didn't get enough of us fucking with you?" He asked in a baby voice.

"Just go away!" Evan yelled louder. I took the turn down the hall way where they were that's when I saw Riker fucking with Evan. Ohh, this could be fun. Evan wasn't in as bad shape as before. Although, she still had quite some bruising. As I was walking up to them, I saw the principal not far from them and also saw Riker punching Evan in the stomach. He then noticed the principal walking his way. Riker didn't hesitate to push Evan back and then shove himself backward to make it look like he fell.

"Ow!" Riker faked.

I jogged over to them. "Riker?"

"Evan hit me." Riker was clearly lying.

"No, she didn't you lying fuck!" Woah. I don't know where that came from. Evan was shocked, and so was Riker. Hell, I was shocked and it came out of my mouth. The principal hurried to where we were.

"What happened?" Mrs. Francis asked.

"I was walking in the hall and Evan just hit me for no reason." Riker faked and held his chest.

"No!" Both me and Evan yelled. We shared a quick look before making eye contact with our principal again.

"Evan, this is the seventh time you've hurt a student. Go to my office now!" Mrs. Francis said.

Seven? Damn. "Wait! It wasn't her fault. Riker was the one who punched her, she did nothing." I defend her.

"Riker, my office now!" Mrs. Francis said. Riker gave me a dirty look and walked toward the office.

Mrs. Francis spoke, "You two get to class." She walked off.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She put her hand in front of my face. "Save it, Ross. I don't know what your plan was, but save it." And she walked off.

I got home and went to my room without saying hi to my Mom, Dad, little brother, or sister. I got to the room that I share with Ryland and threw my backpack on my bed. I sat down on my spiny chair at my desk and sighed. "What was I thinking-" My thoughts were interrupted by both Rocky and Riker barging in. "Uh, knock much?" I said.

"What the fuck?" Rocky said crossing his arms.

"What?" I asked, playing stupid.

"Don't play stupid. You stood up for that bitch!" Rocky said.

"No. I don't know what you're talking about." I said, crossing my arms.

"Riker told me, you lying ass. Why the hell would you do that?" Rocky asked.

Riker butted in, "Don't tell me you-" He paused as he swallowed like he was holding back throwing up. "-Like her."
