Chapter Eleven
-What now?-

❝In physics! Matt ah dinna ken ya had it in ya,❞ The redhead chuckled jokily punching Matt with a grin. Stephanie had her hands under her chin listening intently to the male telling them what happened in his physics class.

❝That's good and all Matt but what now, you and Nate clearly have feelings for each other so what are you going to do now?❞

The theorist started to think about Stephanie's question and realised he didn't know, they had plans for Friday so he decided he'd ask him out then, that gave him two days to think of a cute way to do it.

❝I'll wait for Friday,❞ the blond said mostly to himself Kayla grinned widely and nodded liking the plan she pulled out her phone and texted Shannon.

The ebony meanwhile was lying with his head in hands bored to death by the chemistry teacher his mind replying what had happened in physics a small smile made its way onto his lips.

You're a monster
Matt would leave you if he found out
He just feels sorry you

Nate argued with the thoughts in his head but it was pointless, he knew it was the truth and nothing could change that, he'd been born a monster but that didn't stop him fighting facts. The ebony's mind was somewhere else when he felt a piece of paper hit the back of his head, he looked around the classroom and saw Jack grinning at him widely he unfolded the paper.

NATE MAN!
What happened in your physics class is spreading around the school like wildfire some girl took a photo and I know it wasn't Kayla but you should probably watch your back, but Mark and I have got you covered.

The 'cannibal' whipped around in his seat and returned Jack's grin with one of his own, he had friends supporting him if anything bad was to happened that thought made him feel better however fear was still eating away at him, neglecting of a comforting touch then all of a sudden he had uncontrollable feelings for someone, feelings he still couldn't understand.

Worthless
Pathetic excuse for a cannibal

He curled his hands into fists his nails digging into his skin, he didn't want to lose Matt but he knew he'd have to tell him eventually but there was no reason why he couldn't delay telling the theorist who'd captured his heart.

Jack eyed Nate worriedly, the ebony was acting strange and he seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

The teacher looked at Nate, he crept up on the carnophobic banging a fist down on his desk making the ebony jump for surprise he looked up at the chemistry teacher who had a dark smirk on his lips.

❝Sleeping in class will not be tolerated Mr. Sharp you will be staying back at lunch.❞

The green haired male put a hand up and spoke in Nate's defence,
❝That's not fair Nate did nothing wrong it's not his fault you're boring.❞

The teacher glared at the male but didn't reply his comment however he pounded on the ebony's desk one more time to make sure he was paying attention and went back to the front of the class and started talking again.

Nate sent Jack a friendly smile as if to thank him, he sighed heavily and attempted to pay attention to the listen his mind still taunting him, he nails dug into his skin until blood poured from his hand, he bit his lip in pain Nate had never been very good at dealing with pain despite being born in a family of the genetically modified cannibals he'd never picked up any of their traits would perhaps explain his clear difference from his family.

Lunch started with Matt making his way to Nate's chemistry classroom to pick the male up and take him to the usual lunch table with Kayla, Stephanie and Jason however he bumped into Jack on his way to the classroom, he took one look at the green haired male and looked right through him as though he wasn't there.
❝He got detention and Matt you do know you can't stay mad at Mark forever right? You've moved on, you should at least make an attempt to be his friend.❞ The Irish didn't say anything else and he walked off leaving Matt thinking about what he'd said, maybe Jack was right.

The theorist despite Jack's words still went to the chemistry classroom and the teacher pulled out of his bag a bloody chicken sandwich, he smiled widely and took a bite blood dripping down his chin.
❝My wife makes the best sandwiches.❞

He took one look at the teacher munching greedily away at his food like an animal, Nate slapped a hand over his mouth shaking with fear. Flashbacks shot through his mind, despite how little the amount of blood was or where it was from, it terrified Nate.

His stomach turned, he felt vomit rise up his throat he swallowed it thickly. Matt watched from the doorway glad he'd came, he saw the male and the teacher watched him seeing his reaction he smirked. Nate jumped out of the chair and ran to the toilet as the chemistry teacher yelled after him,
❝Nathan Sharp where do you think you're going!❞

The blond poked his head through the doorway of the classroom and yelled,
❝HE IS GOING TO BE SICK YOU DOUCHE!❞

Puke stunk up the bathroom quickly, he just barely made it as he poured out his guts down the toilet and looked at his palm which had nail marks and blood under his nails, he looked away sharply.

❝Nate...❞

Matt knocked on the cubicle door which Nate opened slightly seeing the theorist he gave a small smile, his breath smelling of vomit but the blond didn't care and embraced the ebony into a hug.

❝What happened?❞ He asked worriedly.

The carnophobic knew he couldn't answer completely truthfully, he took a deep breath and conjured up a lie with his brain, if he told half the truth it wasn't that bad.

❝I can't deal with blood or guts or meat... I have a fear I know it's stupid,❞ He whispered blushing slightly from embarrassment, Matt kept him embraced in a hug.

❝We all have a fear of something, Kay was telling me about what happened in history yesterday.❞

❝You mean t-the c-cannibal lesson?❞ He stuttered slightly as Matt pat his back comforting the male, the blond decided to trust the ebony with his fear a story that everyone in the school knew but they didn't know what student it was.

❝My fear is death, I don't want to die... I lost everyone in my family to the cannibals... not soon after I was born my twin brother was taken from his home along with my mother... M-my father c-climbed up s-seeking r-revenge and was eaten h-himself,❞ a tear rolled down Matt's cheek he'd only ever told Mark not even Stephanie and Jason knew.

Nate swallowed thickly, his own family had been the one that killed all of Matt's what could he say to that. He couldn't tell him not yet.

❝Matt...❞ He trailed off he held the crying male close to him, he felt slightly uncomfortable never having had anyone cry on him before and guilt closed in on him.

Matt had no family and it was partly his fault
The blond would hate him if he knew.

❝They're monsters all of them.❞

The 'cannibal's' eyes stung with tears threatening to escape but he couldn't show weakness not when Matt needed him.

❝You couldn't be more right. All of them are monsters, every last one.❞
