Chapter Twenty

The next day at school, my brain-to-mouth filter was back and I apologized to Vic about fifty times, annoying him in the process. We split up after second period, going to different classes.

I fell asleep in third, lacking sleep once again. When I woke up, we still hard thirty minutes of class left and I was bored out of my mind, so I decided I'd go to the bathroom.

Walking down the hallway, I saw a short figure standing at their locker, looking a lot like Vic. About three steps later, I was certain that it was Vic. But what was he doing? He hadn't noticed me yet, getting a bottle of water and a little bottle plastic bottle that looked like it was meant for gum, of something out of the locker.

He swallowed some of the content of the little plastic bottle, that looked like pills along with water, scrunching up his face in most likely distaste. That was also, when he noticed me.

He frantically stuffed the bottle of pills into the locker and slammed it shut. "Hi", he said nervously. "What pills were that?", I asked straight away. I really wanted to know what the matter was. It made me feel shitty and worried me. It had occupied my thoughts the last two nights, leaving me with about one and a half hours of actual sleep.

"Uh... Pain killers", he said, "pain killers." I raised my eyebrows, "For what?" He swallowed, "I... Uh, I have a headache. Yeah, a really bad headache."

I wasn't buying his shit.

"Quit lying. What medication are you on? Or is it drugs? Oh, god. Vic, please just tell me."

"That's none of your business. I'm fine and that's all you need to know. I have to get back to class now." He spun around and power-walked into the opposite direction I had come from.

This just had me worried even more.

When lunch time came around, I decided not to question it any further. I hated when there was tension between us. Unlike most other days, we got a table for ourselves. "Wanna come back to my house after school?", I asked casually. "I can't... I... I have an appointment." I snorted, "Oh, right... Let me guess: it doesn't matter." He looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Why don't you just tell me?", I asked quietly, seriously feeling a bit hurt, that he couldn't trust me enough to tell me things. How bad could it be? "Because I don't want to and because I don't have to.", he snapped. "Okay, okay", I said, raising my hands in surrender. I was actually extremely pissed off though.

I would find out what was going on, though. Soon.

So, when school ended, Vic went straight to town. I followed him in a safe distance - he wouldn't see me. He entered a building, I didn't know what it was for, though.

When I got there, I saw that it was a house with several apartments in it. I didn't know where Vic could have gone - it was all just names next to doorbells.

I sighed and trotted back home. I ate something and went straight to bed after. I felt like shit.

---

I had made a decision. An important one. I needed and wanted to do this. I was terrified, but I would do it.

When I approached my locker, I saw Vic standing at his, talking to a couple of girls. I had been right his first couple of days. He did get pretty popular.

I passed my locker and went straight over to Vic, wanting to get over with it already. Vic looked up and smiled at me. When I had finally reached him, I grabbed him by his chin and kissed him.

I felt Vic smile against my lips.

"Hey", I said casually as we pulled away. The girls jaws were practically on the floor and everyone else's too. I didn't care. He grinned brightly at me.
