In Too Deep

Prolouge

It was a beautiful day in California. Even in December, the sun was shining bright and only a small chill in the air wrapped its embrace around the teenagers that were making a path into Claremont High School. It was a normal day beside the excitement that was radiating from winter formal and the fact that it was the last day until Winter break.

"Did you hear that Kellin and Amy hooked up at the dance?"

"I heard that Vic Fuentes came out as gay. I always knew he was a faggot." The chatter of rumors floated around outdoor hall ways. The teenagers were at their lockers when one of the big source of the rumors, Kellin Quinn, walked in the entrance with his usual flock of friends and Amy on his arms. They were seen as the perfect couple. He was rich, smart, and handsome while she had blonde hair, perfect body, and gorgeous looks. Kellin was the guy every man wanted to be and every girl wanted to sleep with. As Kellin was making his way to his locker, he bumped into someone.

"Hey watch where you're fucking going?" Kellin snapped. His friends laughed behind him. The other boy kept his face hidden behind his shoulder length brown hair. He muttered something and started to pick up his belongings that where scattered around Kellin's feet. The halls were hushed as they looked at the scene that was playing out in front of them. Kellin glared at everyone. He tried to make his way around the boy on the ground but Amy gripped his arm. He looked at her and saw she was looking at the boy on the ground with evil delight.

"You're Vic, right?" The boy look up with fear flashing in his eyes. Kellin felt sympathy for Vic. Amy's voice was high and snobby as she looked at Vic with total disgust. "Hey Jake." She looked at one of the people that is always attached to Kellin's side. "Let's show Vic here what we do with fags." She made a motion with her fingers and next thing everyone knew, a very frightened Vic was shoved into a locker. As the locker slammed shut, Vic started banging on the metal while screaming. Kellin closed his eyes and turned his head away. He hated this but he could never stand up to his so-called friends.

"Let's just get out of here. Please." Kellin whispered the last part to himself. He felt sorry for Vic. Kellin said goodbye to Amy and his friends, going to his locker he glanced back at where Vic was still locked up. He saw four boys surrounding the locker trying to open it. He saw a familiar face. Kellin felt his breathing hitch. It couldn't be him. He looked so broken. Kellin made his way into his first period class, not caring if he was really early. Before he could go through the door he felt he was being watched. Right as the door closed to the classroom, Kellin got a good look of Vic Fuentes glaring at him with such hatred.

Vic couldn't believe that he was just shoved into a locker. It was such a cliché thing to do. He was just glad that Tony was good a picking locks. All this because he was gay. He thanked his friends and started towards his first period class that, much to his distaste, he had with Kellin. He felt someone grab his hand and pull him into a bone crushing hug. He could see the person so he took a second to breathe in a familiar scent.

"Oli? What ar..." Vic had a finger pressed on his lips before he could say anymore. Oli gave him a small sad smile. The thin teenager looked so broken. His tattooed arms were hidden by his winter hoodie and his brown short hair was starting to fall into his eyes. His very sad hazel eyes. Vic noticed he was avoiding eye contact and playing with something in his pocket. "Oli? What's wrong? You look like you are going to cry?" Vic place his hands on either side of Oli's face making their eyes lock.

"Vic you have to promise me something?" Oli wrapped his arms around Vic's waist, pulling them together so their chests were touching. Vic was looking up at Oli, considering that Oli had 5 inches or more on Vic. Vic heard somebody mutter fag as they walked by but Vic chose to ignore them. Oli put their foreheads together, he sighed.
