You Make My Skies Blue -colour AU minizerk-

VIII

Simon's P.O.V.

I went all the way back to the school and went with my regular schedule. I know everything that had happened, but I didn't want to bring to much attention to myself. Instead I wanted to talk to all of the guys on my own time.

~~~~~

Classes were like the usual, boring and they ended up just giving me a bunch of homework. Luckily Josh's mum told me to get his homework, and I know how weird that sounds, but that means that I get to meet up with him again and we can probably spend time doing homework with one another.

But that was all in the future, right now I have to deal with certain people.

"Hey." I said as I sat down at the table and they all just looked at me.

"Look, I know what we did today was wrong but we have reasons behind it." JJ said as I nodded.

"Oh yes, please tell me the reasons why you made someone who has done absolutely nothing to you, feel like shit?" I said as Ethan just snorted.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! We saw the way you came into school the next day. You looked all torn up, we were just trying to help you. We are your true friends, not some guy you just met." Ethan said as I turned to look at him.

"I can't even believe you. I thought you were suppose to be my best friend, I guess that is an absolute lie after all. You weren't protecting me at all. You made everything horrible for him. You don't know a single thing about him. I didn't even tell you if it had to do something with him. It actually had to do with my mum, but now I'm starting to feel like the only person that I can trust to tell stuff like that to is Josh." I said as I got up and they all started to tell but I ignored them.

"Simon, what's going on?" Jess asked obviously worried.

I had totally blanked out on what I am suppose to say to her. How am I suppose to break up with a girl that thinks I'm her soulmate?

"Look, I actually needed to talk to you. Now is not the best time, but maybe we can meet at our spot, after school?" I asked as she nodded.

I left the cafeteria and got to my next class. I decided to go in earlier just so I could pick up Josh's things and just relax.

"Hey Simon, do you know why Josh isn't in school? I heard about what happened and I know that you two are pretty close. So what's going on?" The teacher asked as she walked over and sat on the desk next to me.

"A lot of things. Mostly people harassing him. He's okay though, so that's good." I said as she smiled.

"Okay, just making sure. He's different." She said smiling as she got up and started to walk back to her desk.

"What do you mean he's different?" I asked confused as she turned around and smiled.

"He's a bit of a genius." She said as she sat down and went on her computer.

Yeah, I mean I know that he's had straight A's but so have I. What makes him so special?

The bell rang and everyone ran into the hallways trying to get to their next class. Soon enough the final bell rang and we started our last period of the day.

Was I looking forward to getting out of school? Yes. Was I looking forwards to talking with Jess? No.

I mean what am I suppose to say or even do? Just go up to her and be like 'sorry I'm in love with the new kid who everyone makes fun of and that is why I have to break up with you.' I can't do that. That's just wrong. I know that's the situation but there has to be an easier way.

The bell rang and we all left the class. I slowly walked to Jess and my spot. We use to meet here when we were younger and just make out. We knew it was inappropriate but we did it for fun. I don't think I ever enjoyed it as much as she did.

"Hey." She said as I turned around to the girl whose heart I'm about to break.

"Hey, sit down." I said as we both sat on the ground and looked out to the forest.

"Simon what's going on? You've been acting strange ever since that new kid came here. I'm worried about you, so is the orphanage. They say you haven't been coming back and spending nights where they don't even know. How long has it been since you've even been home?" She asked as I looked up at her.

Yep, you heard it right. I get the perfect grades, I'm the captain of the schools football team, I have the head cheerleader as my girlfriend, but I live in an orphanage.

When I was little my mom ended up running away and my dad was killed for being a color. Apparently from what I am thinking, I think my mom was like me. She was starting to see color and it freaked her out after my dad died. I wanted to tell Josh, yeah don't get me wrong. But he already has so much on his plate that I couldn't do that to the poor guy. He means so much to me.

"Look the orphanage doesn't actually care about me. It's not my home and I can't believe you don't even realize that. That is why, that is why this doesn't work. The two of us. We both know it as a fact. I think it's better that we go our own ways." I said as she just turned to me with anger and fear in her eyes.

"I can't believe this. They were right, that guy is a faggot and you've become one too." She said as she ran away.

I didn't feel like going after her, I didn't have the energy. All I want to do at this moment in time is talk to Josh. He always cheers me up.
