**Ziggy.**

"Monty..?"
My legs felt weak standing there as I stared at the other while I was trying to convince myself that he wasn't a ghost.

Monty rubbed his neck with an awkward grin.
"Hey, it's been a-"
I did something so out of character as I left Kaiser's side and wrapped my arms around the other.
Hugging Monty as he stood there stiff with wide eyes, before his body finally relaxed, and he was hugging me back.

"Sorry." Monty smiled softly, his hand cupping the back of my head.
"It's been a while, but damn you've grown." He grinned as I looked at him with furrowed brows.
"Are you really, here?" I asked, squeezing his cheeks as he cried laughing.
"Okay ow, stop that hurts, yes I'm really here." He smiled holding my hands as I looked at him in disbelief.

"I feel like I'm interrupting the two of you." I heard Kaiser speak up as I turned it the other, my face warm as I stepped back from Monty.

"N-No, you're not. I'm sorry, Kaiser, this is my childhood friend. Monty Baker, and Monty? This is my boyfriend, Kaiser Montoya." I introduced the two.

Monty's eyes lit up.
"So you ended up batting for the guy team, hey that's awesome!" Monty had so much life in his eyes as he smiled at me.
"I bet your parents love that." He told me.

There was a painful silence as I stood there now.
He never found out?
Of course he didn't.
He left before they died and we lost all contact because we were just kids.

"Hey.. Kaiser?" I turned to the other who blinked, but he smiled softly.
"I'll let your uncle know you'll be late, take your time, you know he'll understand." He told me, kissing my cheek before walking ahead.

Monty stood there, this confused expression on his face.
"Is.. Is everything okay, Ziggy?" He asked.
I looked at him and gave this sad smile.

"There was an accident a year after you left." I placed my hands behind my back standing there.
Monty frowned softly.
"An accident..?"
"Mhm." I looked away now.
"My parents had work and the next thing I know, the police are taking me into custody and telling my uncle Tony that my parents had been killed by some animal." I said.

Monty's eyes grew wide as he stood there, his skin pale white.
"No.. way? Holy shit, Ziggy-"
"I keep telling myself it's okay, that I'm okay." I smiled softly.
"But living with my uncle and his family for six years.. It was hell." I felt my eyes burning.

"They treated me like a massive outcast, my uncle even hit me like a grown man." I felt the tears slip.
"But I was dealing with it, until I got expelled from Silver Falls and was sent here." I looked at Monty whose brows were knitted.

"Hang on.. why were you sent to live with the worst option? I know I left when I was nine, but even I remember your dad butting heads a lot with his sister's husband, was there no one else you could live with?" He asked me.
I rubbed my head.
"No one wanted a gay kid in their home." I told him.

Monty's eyes widened with anger.
"That's bullshit! Do you still live with that family?" He asked me.
I shook my head.
"No, after my uncle hit me, my other uncle who is actually a teacher here, brought those two to court and he won." I managed to smile softly.
"And life became a whole lot easier." I looked at him.

"Monty-"
His arms were wrapping around me, this frustrated expression on the others face.
"You always wear that stupid smile on your face when you're hurting, I know it's been seven years since we last saw each other, but I still know how to read you like an open book. And don't think I didn't notice that shy stammer, what's up with that?" He looked at me.

I blinked before looking away.
"Silver Falls does a lot to a person, mentally at least.. I was forced to date a girl who didn't like me, and there were guys there who made my life even worse.. and now, two of those guys go to this school." I told him.

Monty frowned deeply.
"Do I need to beat ass?" He suggested.
I blinked but smiled softly.
"No, I don't think that'll look good with it being your first day here, I'm learning to deal with it." I told him.

Monty looked at me.
"You've been having to deal with a lot of shit since I went away, and I hate it, if my mom hadn't gotten that stupid job-"
"Hey, it's fine." I smiled softly.
"I survived, that's the important part right?" I asked.
Monty blinked before rubbing the side of his neck.
"I guess, I still don't like it though." He frowned at me.
I stared but smiled softly.

"What's your first class?" I questioned changing the subject.
Monty looked at me then the paper.
"Oh, it's History." He told me.
"The irony, come on." I grinned leading him to homeroom.
----------
I walked into the classroom with Monty on my heels, looking around.

My uncle frowned at me.
"Are you alright? Kaiser informed me that you-- Monty?" 

I turned to Monty who grinned at him.
"Heya Mr.Mitchell, it's been a minute." He smiled.
My uncle blinked before smiling softly.
"It has, you look well." He said looking to me.

"I can see why you were running late, but we can play catch up later, go to your desk and I'll find Monty a seat." He told us.

I walked over and took a seat in my desk, my eyes on Monty before looking to Kaiser.
"I'm sorry about all of that." I told him.
Kaiser blinked before he smiled softly.
"About you catching up with an old friend? Why would you apologize about that?" He questioned.
I stared before my face grew warm.
Right..
Why was I apologizing about that?

Maybe I was worried they wouldn't like each other.
Or..
That Kaiser would get jealous.
But.
Was he the type to get jealous on my behalf?

"I wasn't sure if you'd.. be jealous." I found myself saying.
Kaiser's eyes  grew wide but he smiled at me.
"Are you secretly dating?" He asked me.
My eyes widened as my face turned red.
"N-No-"
"Then why on earth would I be jealous?" Kaiser grinned at me.

I blushed sitting there.
"Ziggy."
I looked back to Kaiser who smiled softly at me.
"There's not a single soul in this school who could make me jealous, I have what's important to me, and I know you're not the cheating type, I have no worries about you catching up with an old friend. Especially? When I know you needed him more than anything in that moment." Kaiser told me.

I don't think I could fall any harder for this guy.
He always knew how to say the right things.
----------
During lunch, I stayed by Monty's side in the line as he got his lunch.
Today was taco Tuesday, and I actually ate lunch, here lately nothing has sounded good.
But today, food sounded nice.

"Zigzag!" Rocky greeted me as we walked outside, my friends attention was on Monty who wasn't the least bit shy sitting down.

"Hi, I didn't get the chance to introduce everyone earlier.. Monty, these are my friends, over there is Rocky, who was my first friend at this school and that's Jayce and Devin." I introduced them.

Monty smiled at the three.
"It's nice to meet you." He said.
Rocky nodded in agreement.
"We heard you were a childhood friend, what brought you back to this crappy town?" He questioned.
Monty blinked but smiled.
"California wasn't my family's calling, so after some convincing, we made our way back to Minnesota. I prefer it here though, it's always been home." He shrugged.

Devin looked to the other.
"How long have the two of you been friends?" He asked.
I looked to Monty who smiled at the other, his eyes on me.
"I think since third grade? We became friends after gym class, this guy was slow as hell at running but he was giving it his all that day, and it inspired my lazy ass to also pick up the pace." He grinned at me now.

"We became real close for a whole year, until my parents decided to move, I hated it because I always worried how Ziggy would turn out without me here." He said.

Rocky looked to me then to Monty.
"We've been taking care of him, he's changed a lot since the first day of being here, but it doesn't help that two assholes from his old school are here now." He frowned.

Monty looked to me.
"I heard about that, is there a reason they're here?" He asked.

"Just to harass Ziggy and piss me off nonstop." Rocky smiled icily.
Monty frowned at the other.
"So I do need to kick ass then." He said.

"N-No you don't." I frowned at him.
"Like hell I don't? Ziggy, they ruined your whole personality. You used to be so confident and cheerful, you were the sun to my moon, and now you're this shy ass mess because of some bullies? They need a taste of their own medicine." He glared.

I frowned at him.
"Monty, seriously, I have it handled." I told him.
Monty frowned at me.
"If you say so, but it's not going to stop me from watching out for you. Do these guys have names?" He asked.

I looked at him before sighing softly.
He never knew how to stop.

"Zeke Vega and Asher Grimes." I told him.
Monty frowned but nodded.
"Alright, so if I hear their names, I punch their lights out."
"No." I groaned but tensed up hearing him laugh.

I looked at Monty who was grinning at me.
"You never change." He told me.
My brows furrowed.
"I should be telling you that."
---------
It was last period and that sick feeling returned as I walked into the classroom.
I could already feel Mr.Levines eyes on me.
It's just your imagination.
Zeke put it in your head that your teacher is a creep, when it's actually not even true.
It couldn't be.
How could the school let someone who preyed on students work here?
It didn't make sense.

Just like.
It didn't make sense why I had to sit between Zeke and Asher in class.
I hated it.
I really needed to change my schedule to get away from them.
But what happens if I change it just to land in even more classes with them?
There was no escape.

I took a seat and took out my notes for class.

"I'm surprised you didn't get a schedule change." Zeke chuckled as I frowned.
"You don't hear what we hear, and that guys thoughts are disgusting, especially about you." He told me.
"I have a hard time believing that." I found my voice as Zeke arched a brow.

"Don't believe me?" Zeke leaned over.
"He's daydreaming of fucking you on his desk." He told me.
My face flushed red.
"You're lying." I accused glaring softly at the other.
Zeke leaned back with a shrug.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, I guess it's your fault for having such a pretty face for a guy." He said taking out his own notes.

After that.
I couldn't focus.
My thoughts were everywhere and I wanted to run.
I wanted to escape because that sick feeling kept returning.

When the bell rang, I flinched sitting there.

"Ah, Ziggy, I need to speak with you." Mr.Levine's voice sent chills through me as I sat in my desk, refusing to move as both Zeke and Asher removed themselves and left the classroom.
Zeke's eyes on me before walking out.

I got to my feet and made my way over to the teacher.
"Sir..?"
Mr.Levine looked up at me with a sigh.
"Close the door, Ziggy." He told me.
My brows knitted as my heart pounded against my chest.
"It can't stay open?"
"Not when this is a private conversation regarding your grades, now close the door." He told me.

I felt glued to the floor but managed to make my way to the door.
All I had to do was run out.
I could avoid this and get scolded by the principal later.
But I did the foolish thing, by shutting the door.

"I thought I was serious when I told you that you needed to take your grades in this class, more seriously?" Mr.Levine was at his feet as my brows knitted.
"I-I am taking them more seriously, I've been studying." I replied.
"Have you?" Mr.Levine walked towards me before locking the classroom door.

My eyes were wide.
"Why did you lock the door..?"

Mr.Levine turned to me.
"Don't act dumb now, you could have changed classes since the first encounter, but you being here has confirmed it."
He reached and grabbed my ass as nothing but fear and disgust took over.
"You actually want me to touch you, right?" He asked.

"N-No, this is inappropriate." I cried trying to pull away but let out a startled gasp being slammed onto the desk.

"He's daydreaming of fucking you on his desk."

"Stop it." I cried.
"Don't act like you don't want it." Mr.Levine's free hand pinned my wrists above my head as my blood ran ice cold.
"I don't! Someone-!" He released my wrists as he covered my mouth with his hand.
"You'll enjoy this." He said pulling my jeans down.
Without thinking.

I bit hard into the others hand who yelled ripping back.

"KAISER!" I screamed his name but cried out when the teachers first connected to my face.
Sending me to the ground with a desk on me.
Pain echoed through my body as I cried.
Mr.Levine glared at me.
"Now? It's going to be the rough version." He said grabbing my ankle.

I couldn't think.
The classroom door breaking down as Kaiser ran in with Stetson and Jackie.
Students trying to look in.
I couldn't hear anything as it all became inaudible.

Stetson and Jackie going after the teacher as he fled from the classroom.
Kaiser was in my face, trying to bring me to my senses.

And all I did?

Was screamed.
