Faked it

7 - much more complicated (mini chapter)

okay so i just found out i accidentally put matthew as one of the characters and then changed it to jacob by accident but like now im mad cuz i wanted it to keep being matthew so i could introduce jacob as a different character but oh well.

now im just gonna make jacob like a bigger character, like he and troye will have more history than they would of previously.

lol sorry for the confusion i changed it so now it all says jacob

"It's been 12 hours and 32 minutes of silence, and that's 10 more minutes then when you got your tonsils out. I can't stand not talking. I'm in physical pain, please call me back." Connor begged into his phone while walking down the school halls. The second he hung up he heard the sound of an ice cream truck pull into the school carpool line and immediately recognized it as his parents juice truck. "No, no, no." He cringed while watching them advertise pineapples.

"Welcome." Peter bowed while waving at some kids that passed by.

Connor hid behind some of the lockers as he watched them for a second while trying to not look suspicious to other students walking by. "Why can't I have normal parents."

"Hey! What are doing right now?" Troye ran up to Joe as he walked into the main entrance.

"Going to school like a normal person. Did you snort some meth this morning?" He laughed.

"I need you to help me find a boyfriend." Troye paused. "I think."

"You already have a boyfriend." Joe wrapped his arm around Troye's shoulder and began walking back into school. "These people find out you're faking it they will lynch you and not even notice the irony."

"Well, I'm not faking it, and that's the problem." Troye groaned. "If I have these feelings for Connor I must be gay."

"Woah, I think it's too soon to pull out the label maker. I did used to think you were gay, but now I realized that you're much more complicated, and interesting."

"What is that supposed to mean? Look, if I can find a real boyfriend then my fake boyfriend can go back to being my best friend. Joe, these feelings are killing me, I just want it to go back to the way is was." Troye turned to Joe and put on a puppy dog pout.

"Yesterday I blew up on him because I was jealous of Zoe." Troye continued. "Who does that? Trashy woman on reality TV, that's who. Help me, please."

Joe inhaled and exhaled over dramatically while looking around before he let out a dragged "Fine." Troye squealed and hugged Joe having to stand on his tip toes because of his height. "But we're taking Hannah."

"Of course." Troye laughed pulling Joe's hand.

"It was interfering with the chakra, so we need to cover em up, okay? there you go." Connor's dad placed a cover on one of the outside picnic tables.

"Oh, so much better." Cheryl commented as she placed different drinks in front of the kids.

"You guys!" Connor came running around the corner. "What are you doing here?" He complained.

"Oh, I know, isn't this so exciting?" Peter wrapped Connor up in a hug while his mom did happy motions with her hands.

"No, this isn't exciting. Please go somewhere else." Connor backed out of his parents grasp.

"Well honey, where better to sell organic juice than at school?" Cheryl asked. "And besides, we want to show our support for you, our proud gay son." They smiled.

"Mom, please, can you just go somewhere else, please." Connor looked around to make sure no one could see them talking.

"Connor, truth is we could use the money." Peter sighed while hanging up a sigh.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry, a few good days and we'll be fine." She smiled reassuringly and rubbed Connor's back.

"Fine, just act like you don't know me." Connor sighed and started walking off.

"Hey, did you get my text? I wanted to tell you how good you did on the poem." Zoe walked up to Connor the second he walked out from behind the juice stand.

"Well, you did. Now you can die happy." He pushed past her and kept walking with his head down.

"He didn't mean that." Zoe whipped her head around to the voice. "He gets a little snippy when he fights with his boyfriend." Cheryl nodded. "Not that I know him. I'm a little psychic." She then suddenly grabbed Zoe's hand and began 'reading' it. "It seems that you are in dire need of a dragonheart shot, on the house." She smiled as Peter began mixing up the drink. "It also comes with a free hug."

"Wow." Zoe rushed out when she was pulled in Cheryl's embrace. "Thanks." She said slightly awkwardly.

"You seem uncomfortable." Cheryl noticed.

"Yeah I don't really come from a family of huggers." Zoe shrugged.

"Oh you poor thing, just relax and enjoy." She squeezed Zoe tighter. Zoe smiled and let herself relax.

"This is so humiliating, everyone is staring at me." Sage complained while lowering her sunglasses to glance at the students walking around her.

"Wow, they're being so discreet, you can hardly even tell." Kayla, Sage's friend, noticed.

"Sam asked me to sext him last night so I sent a photo of me in my bra. I know everyone's seen it."

"Hey sah bro." Sage's group of friends all turned their heads to the group of boys all surrounding Sam.

"Check it out." He smirked while holding up his phone for people to see as they all let out 'oh's and 'no way's.

"I knew it!" Sage stomped towards the group. "Sam Pepper, I knew I never should I have sent you that-" She stopped herself when she realized the photo was a screen shot of Nick Jonas tweeting their principal.

"Hey babe, I was just showing them 'hey buddy, you in London?'" He smiled at her with his hands in his pockets.

"Oh, thank God I thought you were showing them that photo I sent you last night." She winked at him.

"Don't worry I deleted it, I know you don't want that getting around." He grabbed his phone back from her.

"Nope, wouldn't want that."
