Falling For You

Emotions

  As expected, getting away from Retz was slightly difficult. And on top of that, Gon had to at least say one snide comment to Killua in every class considering he also shared every class with at least one of Retz's clones. It was infuriating to say the least, and it hurt Gon to his very core to be nasty towards Killua, even if it was all just part of the plan.

  "I'm okay, really." The pale boy tried reassuring Gon once he managed to escape Retz's watchful eyes and meet Killua in secret after also making sure a dozen times that he wasn't followed.

  He was simply exhausted by this point.

  "I don't know if I can do this for a whole month, Killua."

  "You have to. That's what I came to talk to you about actually. The date for the party. I over heard it in one of our classes." Killua leans back on the bleachers. "The first of October."

  "That's three weeks away." Gon frowns. "That's still a long time..."

  "I know, Gon. But we have to hang in there, okay? It'll be worth it in the end. I'm devising the perfect plan to destroy Retz."

  "What is it?"

  "You'll see."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  Despite Killua's confidence, Gon left him with a heavy heart before Retz noticed his absence.

  "There you are." She chirped, waving him over after catching sight of him. "Where were you?"

  "Bathroom." He lied. "I started feeling sick in class."

  "Hope you're not chickening out or playing us." Neon, Retz's best friend, stares at him suspiciously and crosses her arms.

  Gon kept a calm, rather poker-like face on. "I'm not. I think I just caught the bug that's been going around."

  "Well hope you're better by the party." Retz actually looked genuinely concerned for him. It almost made Gon actually sick to his stomach the way her turquoise eyes looked at him.

  "I'll be there." He promised. To watch you burn.

  The rest of lunch passed by painfully for Gon, excruciatingly so, without Killua and he found himself wondering how his best friend was doing all alone. Meeting in secret at his house would be tricky as Retz knew where he lived so what if she stopped by all of a sudden while Killua was over?

  Maybe it was a bad idea to give her my address. But I would have had to anyways. His hands clench tightly in his lap and Retz, who had been talking to one of her friends, turned to face him and notices this. "Gon, what're-"

  The bell would suddenly ring, interrupting her and he jumped up to head to class. Another hour teasing Killua.

  Gon wished he could just ignore him, but Retz's clone who was in fifth period with him would for sure report it back to her and she'd immediately question him and become suspicious and he couldn't afford to ruin the plan. It was important, to him and to Killua. I'm sorry, Killua. He thought as he headed into class and sat down in his seat next to the pale male, ignoring him for the moment. Though he felt eyes boring into him from two directions.

  Next to him, which was Killua and from several seats across him, which was Retz's clone. He wanted to sigh with exasperation, but instead, he turned and narrowed his eyes towards Killua. "What're you looking at, fag boy?" He hissed and Killua got this sad look on his face and turned around to look down at his desk and Gon felt his heart shatter.

  That was all act, right?? That look?? So why did it look so genuine and real?

  But Retz's clone gave him a satisfied smile and a thumbs up, but Gon just felt sick to his stomach.
