I still hear them

Ana p.o.v

its been a good couple of weeks already and i could not be any happier. I still keep the same attitude that i had when i got in trouble at home. mostly to not draw any suspicion but at school i flaunt my happiness.

Tai at first was trying way to hard and i noticed with the way she would blush into a deep crimson red every time she would let me hold her hand between classes but now, she looks visibly comfortable and she holds her head high.

sure we still hear people say things and whisper behind our backs but they are way to scared to bring it to the attention of either of us.their whispers fall from their lips like empty threats and they don't even dare to swallow something as simple as their own spit when i pass by but, i hear some anyway.

"they're DISGUSTING- girl on girl HA that's ridiculou- oh my freaking god.- how do they fuck?- they wont last long- do they get excited when they kiss?-fucking lesbians- i hope they die-"

then there are people that say things like

"nah, its their business- they are cute- goals- we should be allowed to love whoever we want-if they don't care then why do they keep talking shit- i know right, they're just jealous of their relationship-"

for those people i am grateful. because even if they don't speak up around the others, they still believe in me and Tai's relationship. they are few of course,but there are still are some.

it's just. Tai does not like being the center of attention. whether good or bad.

i really hope she endures it for me. just for me.

Tai's POV

i have heard all the comments but even though there are a ton of people that support or even as much as do not care because it doesn't involve them, the negative comments are the ones that stick the most.

i keep it together when i am with Ana because her happiness matters the most to me therefore, i am sure that if i as much as frown the slightest she feels it immediately.

Gabe has been avoiding me and i am not so sure what i feel about it so while i was walking into class i was thinking about all the forms that he has curved or changed directions after making awkward eye contact with me. That pricked my heart with anger. He acts like he hasn't seen me but HE LEGIT MAKES EYE CONTACT WITH ME.

i could feel myself boiling up and i wasn't even realizing that i was clenching up my fist until i felt a hand on it.

"whoa. who got little miss perfect all riled up?" i heard a prissy voice say and i looked at my hand immediately recognizing the manicured tips. i slowly looked up at the bitch that ruined all of my plans. i slid my hand away from under hers and hid it under the desk on my lap, then i stared and did not say a thing.

"hmm? why don't you answer me? don't you know your place?" she spit at me and i simply grinned at her feeling my fist clench again slightly.

"what are you laughing at huh?" she spit at me again and then poked my forehead with such force that it made my head snap back. i looked back at her alarmed, then looked around the classroom wondering if anyone was watching this. sure enough the second i looked in any directions heads turned away.

everyone was looking, but no one had any intentions to help.

tears pricked in my eyes. " poor baby. u have no friends. maybe its because ..... oh i don't know? they're afraid that your. lesbian? or is it because the only person you have by your side is a bitch that no one at school likes?"

"olive. if i were you i would watch my mouth and the things that come out of it because, if i remember clearly you got your ass kicked the last time you opened it"

she looked at me in surprise with her eyebrows raised so high i was surprised they weren't going into her hair line and i stared back just the same. i cannot believe i just said that; is that what happens when Ana gets into an argument?

snickers were heard around the room as long as with a few gasps of disbelief.

"you know what. i'm not the only one that should be watching themselves. got that!" she growled at me and was about to poke my forehead again when again i surprised both of us and smacked her hand out of the way.

she got up and stomped to her seat around the very front of the classroom just as the teacher was walking in.

for the rest of the class i felt proud of myself but my heart was heavy with those words she said stabbing into me and dragging me down like a ball and chain. 

that' s why once class was over i walked out and asked Ana to wait for me under the tree where we eat lunch. i left her with a kiss on the cheek and i sped walked to the bathroom.

then everything that was in my stomach snaked it's why back up and into the toilet.
