The Boy in the Black Snapback [BoyxBoy]

Chapter 8) Idiot

Hey, so I was just sketching around and I drew (anime style) Chase, and because I've been dead for so long I felt compelled to show you all, so yeah that's him in the photo above.

Also, it's late and I have a headache and I haven't had a decent nights sleep in a while, but I'm still gonna write this.

This is for you, please appreciate it.

Chase didn't turn up to school, and at lunch it was just me, Elliot and Brandon.

"Why's Chase not here?" Elliot asked, and I explained to him the story of what happened in French.

"Mr Scott? But he's the nicest teacher ever!" Brandon exclaimed.

"Well, eh heh, yeah." Elliot giggled.

"He's coming trampolining tonight though. He went last night too, but you guys don't do Tuesday's."

"Nah," Elliot shook his head, "I have band."

"I don't go without him." Brandon nodded at Elliot.

"I used to not go if Calum wasn't going. Speaking of him, where is he?" I asked, frowning.

We looked around the dinner hall, but he too, was absent.

"He's probably in detention." Elliot proposed.

"Glad to see you two are friends again." Brandon said.

"Yeah..."

"But even if you weren't, you and Chase seem to really get along." Brandon nodded, and I blushed.

"Oh, uh..."

"It's okay to like him." He winked, and got up to get more food from the canteen.

Elliot sat staring at the table.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said, snapping out of his daze.

Brandon returned and we continued talking about random stuff until the bell went, and we parted ways.

(Pretend there's a filler scene here. I promise I'll try to get better at writing them.)

Chase didn't appear at trampolining at the regular time that evening.

I'd decided just to go ahead and polish up the double flip- which I owed him- and I'd just managed to land it when the arena went quieter. You can tell somethings happened when a room suddenly goes quiet, and I staggered to my feet and scanned the room to see what had caused the pause in activity.

Chase walked briskly in the door, (an hour late), with his head down, heading directly for the changing rooms.

Obviously I'd studied his routine, and considering that he always went to speak to people before getting changed, him going directly for the changing rooms was a bad sign.

I slipped into the changing rooms under Sapphire's watchful eye and found Chase swallowing migraine tablets... With a black eye.
