What Happens, Happens (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 9

Liams POV:
I made my way to class before anybody could notice me. As I made my way over to my seat, I spent the time before class started thinking back on the past 24 hours. I am still surprised that Jack let me stay at his house, considering he was a dick to me most of the time. I was expecting him to be cruel and rude to me but surprisingly, he was pretty nice. It makes me wonder what happens to him at school that makes him change. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the chair scoot back and someone sat down. I looked over to see Jack situating himself at his desk before he got out his notebook. I guess I was staring at him because he broke the silence. "So, you going to keep staring or are you going to actually talk to me?" I felt my cheeks heat up and I went to defend myself but my words stuttered off. I looked back at Jack and noticed that weird look in his eyes that I couldn't quite explain so I decided to not think about it. The bell went off and the teacher walked into the classroom before addressing us all. "Hello class! Before I hear all the whining about it being the second day if school and all, I just wanted to tell you all about your new project. The project is to learn more about your seat partner and report about what you found out about them. How you find out is none of my concern but you both will need to interview them and ask questions. You have 2 months to do this project, and yes, this project makes up about 75% of this quarters grade. We have no further plans for today so I'm giving you the opportunity to start getting to know your partner more." With that, she sat down and started messing with her phone. I sighed and mentally cursed. Great, now I have to be practically joined with Jack at the hip. I really don't want to hang out with his friends.
Jack turned to look at me and smirked "guess I will have the pleasure of learning more about you this year. Looking forward to it." God is there anyway for me to get out of this?!

-----TIME SKIP TO LAST PERIOD: GYM--------
Liams POV:
After changing into my gym uniform, I made my way over to Jack cause apparently, another rule the teacher had was that we had to be together 24/7 while at school. We started doing our warm-ups quickly then I proceeded to watch Jack play football on the grass. Jack came up to me when nobody was looking and asked me "what are you doing?" "Just sitting here watching you play football. Um... I mean, not in a creepy way." He laughed at me and sat down next to me which was a little strange but I just never know what Jack is thinking. After a bit of silence Jack spoke up "so, are you going to be okay going home? I mean, I don't want to see you get hurt or kicked out again." Me get hurt? Since when did he care if I was hurt or not? He and his friends bully me all the time! "Why do you care?" I spit at him. "Reasons" he replied. Seriously, what kind of explanation is that?! "Whatever you say." I said. After gym was finished, I went to go change and grab my bag. The bell rung and all the students started to make their way home as did I. The walk home was a little..... unnerving. My anxiety was starting to build back up and I was really hoping that my parents weren't home and they forgot to unlock the house again, or if they were home, they would be knocked out cold from their booze fests. Either way, I hope I could just slip by to my room unnoticed.
