Fall For Him, Not Her.

Chapter Seven.

I stared at my laptop, the chatroom was blowing up, my knees rested against against my chest as I frowned softly.
My eyes were puffy from crying after so much earlier.
I didn't want to show my face at school, tomorrow.
I knew, the guys were going to give me a hard time..

I removed my phone from my bag, I went to Tami's number with a frown.

{From Winnie; to Tami}
"I made a mistake.."
Sent 6:07 pm.

I rested my head on the pillow, staring up at the ceiling.
I tensed, hearing my phone ding.

{From Tami; to Winnie}
"What's up? Want me to come over???"
Sent at 6:10 pm.

Tears formed in my eyes, even more.
I frowned softly.

{From Winnie; to Tami}
"Please?"
Sent at 6:12 pm.

I removed myself from the bed, walking over to the desk to check the chatroom.
My whole body froze at the conversation, that was happening.

<M0ll0w: So, rethinking about the partner up with your classmate?
<High4Life: Really..? 
<_SkullHead_: I'm not actually.
<M0ll0w: But, you said you didn't like people like them..
<_SkullHead_: Why does it fucking matter to you so damn much?
<That_Kid: Shit, M0ll0w better back off.
<M0ll0w: Its a question, he's been bashing on them so much, whats with the sudden change all of a sudden.
<_SkullHead_: Hmm.. if I recall correctly, 'my personal life has nothing to do with this chat.' I owe you no explanation, not here and not in person.
<M0ll0w: Whatever.
<That_Kid: Aww, is someone ass hurt?
<High4Life: Someone is definitely ass hurt.
<<M0ll0w Has Disconnected.>>
<_SkullHead_: Thank fucking god.
<High4Life: Someone's rude xD
<That_Kid: What is Klays deal all of a sudden?
<_SkullHead_: Who fucking knows, it was giving me a damn headache.
<High4Life: Oh well, he's offline, maybe Drew will come back now?

I glanced to the door, Tami stood there with a box of pizza, chips, snacks and drinks in three bags.
She gave me a sad smile.
"You look like hell." She stated.
I sighed softly.
"Thanks."
"I SMELL PIZZA!" I heard Emma squeal before running to my room.
Her excited expression, vanished seeing me.

"Holy shit, you look like hell." She murmured.
"Thanks!" I slammed the pillow to my face, groaning into it.

"Whoa, whats going on?" Emma asked as Tami shrugged.
I could feel the tears returning.
"I've been on this chat room, talking to these amusing guys to recently find out, they were Zeke, Brett and two other guys.. one of the unknown guys, pressured me into telling Zeke who I was.. I told them earlier then signed off.. its a huge mess, being a guy is a huge mistake." I whimpered, my voice cracking.

"Drew, look at me." I heard my sister demand.
I frowned, slowly removing the pillow from my face, tears begging to fall.
Emma frowned, she sat on the bed with me.
"You have always wanted this life, being a boy.. yes, some won't accept you, like Alison.. but you have your family and other friends..!" She beamed.
I forced a weak smile.
"I just want to remain as a boy.. going to school tomorrow, as Winnie is only going to give me an anxiety attack." I confessed.
"Won't Olive be there?" Tami asked me.
I frowned, looking to her.
"Well.. yeah, but that's not my main issue." I murmured.
"What else is there?" Emma asked.

I looked at them.
"My English teacher, assigned us this project.. we have partners, Zeke just happens to be mine." I frowned.
Emma's eyes widened, as did Tami's.
"Did you tell the teacher, no?" Emma asked.
I shook my head.
"No... I don't think Zeke cared, after I blacked out in class." I murmured.
"You blacked out!?" Tami shrieked.
I rubbed the side of my neck.
"Maybe..?" I told them.

Emma sighed heavily.
"Why the hell did you black out?" She asked.
I frowned.
"I had this bad headache.. its gone now, no worries." I smiled softly.
Tami looked at us.
"So.. not to ruin the moment, but.. the pizza's gonna get cold if we don't eat." She smiled.
I cracked a grin, as did Emma.
The rest of the night, was fantastic.
I really needed that.

When I woke up, I groaned softly, my hair was every where and I really did not feel like going to school today.
I looked at the clock. [6:45 am.]
There was no way I was up for going..
Grumbling, I removed myself from the bed, the feeling of extra hair was pissing me off.
I walked down the hall, to my dads room.
