A tragedy.

four

*Sky's POV*

I walk to class smirking conjuring up a plan in my head. I sit in my desk aware of all the stares I'm receiving

I don't care though. I'm proud of who I am and what I stand for. At lunch Caroline and I go to sit down, but find the lunch table full.

The same boy who pushed me earlier looks at me and says "sorry this is a queer free table" and smirks.

I just laugh and grab Carolines hand, she frowns but I squeeze her hand letting her know im here for her.

We go and sit in the art room with the art teacher Mrs.Dixon.She's one of my favorite teachers. She's really understanding so she's okay with us eating in here.

We start talking to her but careful not to let her know What's happening.

The lunch bell rings and me and Caroline start off for class. I give Caroline a hug in the middle of the hall telling her bye.

Everyone around us either glares or whispers and laughs. Caroline gives me a small timid smile and quickly walks to class.

This class goes by quickly just like usual. Even though I'm aware of all the whispering it doesn't bother me at all.

They can think and believe what they want it's not my job to tell them what to believe.

*carolines POV*

When Sky hugged me Everyone either glared or whispered something.
It didn't bother Sky but it bothers me.

I'm not used to having all attention set on me. I dont like it ,it makes me uncomfortable

Even When I walked into my class I sensed a stiff feeling.Like something was happening and I just walked into it.

I sit in my seat in the back and everyone starts whispering. I have a feeling It has something to do with Sky and I.But I don't wanna jump to conclusions

I slowly take my headphones out and put on my music. First turning it all the way down then stretching my arm half way across from me with the headphone and turning up the the volume.

I do this so I know my music isn't loud enough to where people can hear it.When I know it's the right volume I stick them in my ears and play my indie rock.

Half way through a song I feel something fly into my hair.I put my hands into my hair and pull out a piece of crumpled up paper.I open it and read the sloppy hand writing

"HOMOS GO TO HELL"

This doesn't bother me much its just a stupid note,so I just brush it off. That is until I feel multiple objects fly at me. I open them each containing different comments

"Slut" "fag" "cunt" "kys" "whore"

My eyes start to tear up and I get out of my seat leaving the classroom.Ignoring the teacher calling my name .I run to the nearest bathroom tears streaming down my face

I go into the last stall lock it and sit in the floor away from the door .I get out my phone and text Skyle

Caroline:"Please come here, bathroom nearest the gym last stall"
Sky:"On my way, you okay?"
Caroline:"No"

I put my phone away and attempt to dry my eyes. I hear a knock. "It's Sky let me in". I get up and reach for the lock opening the door. They stare at me then pull me into a hug "What's wrong?"

I choke up and more tears stream down my facel."T-they through notes at me that read horribly rude things and I know it's not really a big deal but I'm not used to this and ugh" they rub my back "Hey sh it's okay you're okay I'm here".

They start to rock me their arms still wrapped around me.I lay my head in the crook of their neck .We sit there for a few minutes

My tears slowly stop but Sky continues to hold me.It makes me feel a lot better and safe.I look up at them.

"My teacher will probably send someone to look for me not that I care but I don't need to get into trouble".They look back at me."Okay let's go I'll walk you back" I smile "Okay let's go".

We both walk down the hall hand in hand .When we enter my classroom my teacher doesn't even look up from her desk.hass notices all the pieces of paper around my desk and they do something unexpected

They walk up to the front of the class and speak to everyone ."If anyone dares to say or write down one more negative thing about Caroline you'll regret it"

My teacher looks at Sky,"Is that a threat Skyle". sky looks her straight in the eyes "No it's a promise"

Then with all the confidence in the world they walk away.

They make their way to the door hugging me tightly before walking out.I smile to myself and sit back in my chair .I didn't receive any notes the rest of the class period.

At the end of the day I walk to the busses. Ready to be home already I start to fast walk. I step onto the bus and look for Sky.

I see them sitting in their usual seat. I sit down beside them and they wrap their arm around me. I look at them "thank you for earlier".

Sky smiles "youre welcome it needed to be done". "Did they bother you after that?" I look at my feet "no I'm really really thankful you were brave enough to do that"

They lean over and kiss my cheek "no problem". We sit close to each other till it's time for Sky to get off. "Bye Sky" I wave "bye Caroline I'll text you later".

I smile at those words and put my headphones in my ear listening to music the rest of the way home.
