Chasing Blue

-TWENTY THREE-

-JJ's P.O.V-

Brian had eventually managed to pull JJ out of the boy's toilets. It had taken some time, they'd both missed first and second period. "You can't just hide in here, man, don't be a pussy," Brian said holding onto JJ's forearm with an iron grip. JJ was silent as he was tugged to cafeteria against his will. The nerves were eating him up from the inside out. It was like having ants swarming around his stomach.

The canteen was buzzing, people scurrying everywhere, it was rather claustrophobic in JJ's eyes, and it sort of felt like everyone was watching him. By now the word of him being a 'faggot' had spread like wild fire, needless to say he was expecting a permanent dismissal from the coach if he too wasn't that good of a person. Though he knew it wasn't true, JJ just felt as if the good didn't exist within the world, and instead everyone was against him.

"So, awkward question." Brian suddenly intervened, sitting down opposite him, a sandwich in hand. JJ looked up at him, trying his best to ignore the glares from all over the room, whether they were real or just his imagination he knew at least one person was staring at him, that he was sure of.

"What?"

Brain took a bite, "you into Lady GaGa?" He asked.

JJ raised a brow, "the fuck?" He said without a hint of emotion.

Brain shrugged, taking another bite, "You know, cause she's like a gay idol. Her songs are always played in gay clubs." He admitted, shrugging once more.

JJ smirked playfully, "what are you doing in gay clubs Brian?" he said tauntingly.

Brian noticed his mistake and tensed up slightly, "well, lesbians." Was all he said, growing red. JJ rolled his eyes, and settled his head back into his arms, blocking the room out and just begging for the bell to ring so he could ditch his English lesson and be alone for once. A few moments of silence elapsed before Brian stood up, shaking the table, before JJ could look once again he felt a hand grasp the back of his collar forcing him into the lime light. He felt his stomach grow with nausea as he watched a few pairs of eyes snap their way. God just let the floor swallow him whole.

"Brain! What the hell?" He said, trying to wriggle out of his grasp, though all became clear when he saw a flash of blue hair walking a few meters in front of him, leading outside of the canteen and into the hallway.
JJ could have sworn he shat himself right there and he decided the struggle more, trying anything he could to get out of Brian's grasp who looked determined.

"Brain! No, let go of me!" He screamed, this time not caring about the wandering eyes. He just wanted to leave, flee the country, and live in the mountains for the rest of his life. But despite all his efforts, Brian was allot bigger, not to mention stronger so he didn't stand a chance, but still tried regardless.

"Get the fuck off of me!" he cried again, thumping on Brian's side this time, with little to no force, his stomach having leaped within his throat.

"JJ, this is the guy who blew you off AFTER you quite literally blew him, I think the least you deserve is an explanation." He growled, Blue and Eddie now within arm's reach to them.

Before JJ could say anything else, he had grabbed Blue by his shoulder spinning him around to face the pair. Blue let out a small groan, his eyes hooded with small black bags underneath, had he been missing out on sleep?

"Front, now!" Brain said, his voice toxic. God, he was pissed.

"Hey! Get the fuck off of him, you prick!" Eddie protested with a snarl, slamming her fist into Brian's arm, earning a small groan. Before Brian could say anything in defence, the bell rang, and the sea of adolescents soon disappeared into their designed classes. It was then Blue's eyes fell on JJ's, he spent a second looking at him, then rolled his eyes back to Brian and crossed his arms over his chest. JJ felt paralyzed.
